Recap / The Powerpuff Girls 2016 S 02 E 35 Bubbles The Blue

Go To

The usually effervescent Bubbles goes into a blue funk, which puzzles Blossom and Buttercup. They try to cheer her up (including forcing Mojo Jojo to build a special weapon that makes people happy), none of which works to their annoyance. The girls' battle against the monster Harmadillo may tie into all this.


This episode contains examples of:

  • An Aesop: Sometimes, people are sad for reasons even they may not know and that's not their fault. Instead of badgering them relentlessly or trying to make their depression about you, the best solution is to just lend them a sympathetic ear.
  • Cheer Them Up with Laughter: Blossom and Buttercup try to cheer up Bubbles who is enigmatically and uncharacteristically sad. When nothing works, it seems like some force is at work, but the Professor assures them that Bubbles will come out of her funk in due time.
  • Not Me This Time: Buttercup accuses Mojo Jojo of Bubbles' sadness. He pleads his innocence (although he thinks it's a neat idea), but that doesn't stop Buttercup from making him create a device to make Bubbles happy under the threat of her "knuckle sandwich."
  • Running Gag: The Professor's "soundless slippers" are so quiet they scare Blossom and Buttercup when he comes up behind them. Buttercup fries them the third time.
