Go To

Buttercup starts a day off feeling as great as ever. But the next day she finds herself off-kilter. At first she thinks she's having an off-day... until she finds out that someone's responsible for it.


Has the following tropes

  • Blob Monster: Essentially what the accident turned the villain into, a blob of walking butter.
  • The Cameo: Mojo shows up for a quick gag when Buttercup comment she felt like she "lost her mojo".
  • Cassandra Truth: After Buttercup regains her body, she tells her sisters what happened. But it turns out they weren't even aware she had gotten body snatched. With Blossom assuming Buttercup is just making excuses to get out of dinner duty.
  • Grand Theft Me: The butter boy villain reveals he somehow swapped bodies with Buttercup and is inhabiting hers. She manages to get her body back.
  • I Just Want to Be Special: The butter boy reveals he always wanted to be a superhero, but didn't see the use in his powers once he got them.
  • I'm Melting!: Said verbatim when the body transfer start to affect Buttercup and turns her to butter and again when butter boy (in Buttercup's body) uses her heat vision to cause her to melt.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: The butter boy claims to want to be a superhero but only because of the action aspect, not because of any goodness or responsibility. Even when Buttercup show how useful his powers could be, he still refuses to take back his body and tries to kill Buttercup.
  • No Name Given: The butter boy is never named in the episode though Buttercup dubs him "Butterfingers" when they fight.
  • Victory by Endurance: Buttercup manages to beat butter boy by letting him wail oh her till he gets tired since butter doesn't have much solidity to, y'know, punch. Ultimately causing him to tire himself out.
  • What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: How the butter boy feels about his powers and why he targeted Buttercup for hers. Ironically, Buttercup manages to utilize the butter powers to the fullest (Stretching, making forms, splitting herself in half, etc) to to beat him, showing he was too lazy to discover what exactly his powers could do.
