Billy takes Grim's hair tonic. As he apply the formula upon himself, hairs all over his body began to grow until he looks like a "sasquatch". Hoss Delgado has returned from Australia after hunting down vampire koalas. Mandy tries to rescue Billy from being turned in for the money. Will Grim and Mandy save Billy from being a hairy stalker?
"Bearded Billy" contains examples of…
- Big Bad: Hoss. He attempts to kidnap Billy and turn him in for the money, even as it would be potential torture for the boy, and ignoring Mandy’s pleas to let Billy off.
- Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: Billy (after the first five minutes) and, to a slightly lesser extent Hoss turns into one during the climax.
- Laser-Guided Karma: After going out of his way to capture Billy and condemn him to possible torture for money, all the while ignoring Mandy's pleas that Billy isn't a sasquatch, Hoss Delgado gets covered in the hair tonic and looks like a sasquatch himself. He would end up being captured and turned in by Mandy for the money.
- Noodle Incident: Gladys apparently had a fling with a Sasquatch, which is the reason why she freaks out when she sees Billy completely covered in hair.
- Shout-Out:
- When confronting Hoss during the climax, Mandy says, “Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry!”
- Mandy actually name drops Donkey Kong in the episode. Quite surprising for a Cartoon Network show.
"The Nerve"
Original Air Date: October 8, 2004
Billy is again being bullied by Sperg and Mandy steps in to save him. Billy asks Mandy why she is so brave. Many reveals that`s because of a nerve. Now Billy wanted that Nerve and insisted Grim to make him small enough so he can get in Mandy's ear to steal that Nerve. Billy tricks the nerve and take it with him. As the nerve is gone Mandy becomes a coward even scared from butterflies. She also insists Grim to make her small enough so she can pay Billy back by taking the Nerve. Grim makes her small, she finds Billy's brain which was coughing and was weak and as small as an ant. He tells Mandy the Nerve is. When Mandy goes there The Nerve insults her which makes her angry and rude again. She took out The Nerve from Billy's head and commanded The Nerve to go away.
"The Nerve" contains examples of:
- Armor-Piercing Question: When Mandy begs Grim to help her get her raw nerve back from Billy, Grim questions why he would want to do that considering the way Mandy treats him, only for Mandy to ask if he's better off being mistreated by the now more malicious Billy. After thinking about what Billy puts him through, Grim concedes Mandy's point and decides to help her.
- Ax-Crazy: Billy whenever Mandy's nerve controls him.
- Badass Boast: Mandy has one when she snaps back to herself after the Nerve tells her that she’s nothing without him. Doubles as a Shut Up, Hannibal!.Mandy: Now you listen up, pal. You’re not what makes me Mandy! I don’t need some pompous polyp to make me dark, foreboding, and charmingly cynical. I am what makes me Mandy! You got that?
- Berserk Button: Don't steal Mandy's nerve, nor let Billy eat it.
- The Brute: Billy.
- Butt-Monkey: Other antagonists (most particularly Mandy, Grim and even Sperg).
- Death Glare: Billy. Just look at this!
◊ - Didn't Think This Through: Grim was happy to help Billy steal Mandy's nerve so that she would never boss him around again. He quickly sees the downside of someone with Billy's inner rage having Mandy's raw nerve to go along with it.
- The Dog Bites Back: Yes indeed. And bites hard.
- The Dreaded: EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER. (especially Mandy) has this vision whenever they see Billy in this mood.
- Enemy Mine: A villian-to-villian example, with Mandy joining Grim in order to help her make herself small enough to enter Billy's brain through his head through his ear in order to take her nerve back. It definitely did work.
- Evil Sounds Raspy: Billy has a rather raspy voice whenever he is under Mandy's nerve's control.
- Grievous Harm with a Body: Billy taking particularly lethal wedgies to Sperg.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Billy.
- Hates Everyone Equally: Billy, as opposed to his usual self.
- Heroic Willpower: Mandy gets one during the climax.
- Insufferable Imbecile: Exaggerated after Billy is affected by Mandy's nerve. Grim even admits it's better to have someone evil and sane than evil and stupid.
- Jerkass: Billy becomes this when he has Mandy's nerve.
- Jerkass Ball: Billy, so see Jerkass above.
- Laser-Guided Karma: After stealing Mandy's raw nerve, Billy spends his time antagonizing and attacking people brutally. So, when Mandy takes her raw nerve out of Billy, Sperg wastes no time in paying Billy back for the painful wedgie he gives him with another wedgie.
- Lesser of Two Evils: This is why Grim decides to help Mandy get her raw nerve back from Billy, admitting that being bossed around by someone who is evil and sane is better than being mistreated by someone who is evil and stupid.
- Nightmare Face: See Death Glare above.
- Oh, Crap!: The other characters' reaction to Billy's rather devious behavior after Billy reached the control of Mandy's nerve by eating it.
- "Oh, Crap!" Smile: Billy sports this when Mandy takes back the raw nerve and Sperg glares at him, knowing he's about to get a wedgie and there's nothing he can do about it.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: From the fourth minute until the last few minutes, Billy is a totally different character in this episode.
