Crazy Mixed Up Puffs: Mojo Jojo manages to attach the Powerpuff Girls to each other, worsening the arguments they often have.

Mizzen in Action: Pirate Crack McCraigen and his crew mistake Chemical X for treasure when they are mysteriously transported to the present, leaving the girls to fight these powered pirates to get the professor back and the pirates back into the past.

Crazy Mixed Up Puffs provides examples of:

  • Achievement In Ignorance: The Mayor accidentally separates the girls again when he notices a loose thread on their dress and pulls it.
  • Body Horror: Not as nasty as most examples, but the girls forcefully being joined together is clearly not pleasant.
  • Chained Heat: Mojo fuses the girls together, creating this effect.
  • Conjoined Twins: Mojo turns the girls into conjoined triplets.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Mojo when he realizes that the girls’ arguing is their weak spot, and how he can exploit this.
  • Gasshole: See Toilet Humor.
  • If My Calculations Are Correct: Said by Blossom in regards to her plan for the girls on how to a maneuver their new, joined, body. It fails.
  • Lured into a Trap: Mojo lures the girls into his machine with a robotic girl screaming for help. Blossom suspects the truth but her sisters act before thinking.
  • My Greatest Failure: Professor Utonium is unable to reverse what Mojo did to he girls, and hates himself for it.
  • New Powers as the Plot Demands: Their new, united body gives the girls access to a new attack, which they successfully use to defeat Mojo.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: It’s Buttercup’s own fault that the girls got stuck together. Blossom even lampshades this.
  • This Is Gonna Suck: Mojo’s reaction when he realizes the girls are about to break into his robot from behind.
  • Toilet Humor: Buttercup farts while trying to break the team apart with her "sheer brute force".

Mizzen in Action provides examples of:

  • Big, Thin, Short Trio: The Crew of the Blackwatch. Reginald is the big, Captain Crack McCraigen is the thin and Mr. Larson is the short.
  • Growling Gut: All the pirates, plus the parrot, get grumbly stomachs after the Chemical X they drank expires.
  • If It Swims, It Flies: The Chemical X allows the pirate ship to fly.
  • Layman's Terms: The girls twice ask the Professor to repeat what he just said in shorter and simpler sentences.
  • A Pirate 400 Years Too Late: The villains of this episode are pirates. Justified since they are not from modern times, but rather transported to the present from their own time period.
  • Parents in Distress: Professor Utonium gets captured by the pirates.
  • Pirate Parrot: Captain Crack McCraigen has his own parrot.
  • Portal to the Past: The pirates are sent to present day Townsville when they sail into a mysterious pillar of blue light, which Professor Utonium later identifies as the Townsville Bay Vortex. They get sent back to their own time in the same manner.
  • Power Glows: When empowered by the Chemical X, all pirates and their ship temporarily start glowing green.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: The Chemical X turns the pirates’ eyes red.
  • Spoonerism: Captain Crack McCraigen is named after creator Craig McCracken, but with the "Craig" and "Crack" parts switched.
  • Treasure Map: The pirates have one, and when they try to follow its clues in the present day, it leads them straight to the Utonium house. At the end of the episode, it’s revealed that the treasure located on the map has already been found by the Mayor in his own yard.
  • Walk the Plank: Professor Utonium is sentenced to this by the pirates.
  • Weirdness Censor: When the girls find their home trashed, Bubbles reveals that she saw the flying pirate ship, but didn’t consider it a big deal since they see weird stuff pretty much every day.
