Recap / The Proud Family S 2 E 18 It Takes A Thief

Go To

Penny sets off to clear her name after she is falsely accused of theft.


Tropes:

  • Animals Hate Him: A trip to the zoo leads to Oscar getting attacked by goats, an elephant, crocodiles and a gorilla (granted, he brought it all onto himself).
  • Brainy Baby: The twins manage to successfully steal animals and a watch.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Jumbo the Elephant is a living embodiment of this trope to Oscar, spraying him with water to get back at him for doing the same years earlier.
  • Elephants Never Forget: When Oscar was a kid, he and his friends sprayed Jumbo the elephant with water guns while Suga Mama had warned them that elephants never forget. In the present, Jumbo recognizes Oscar and gets payback by spraying him with water.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: Oscar apparently got away with spraying Jumbo for shits and giggles, but when he comes back as a man, Jumbo sprays him with his trunk and sends Oscar flying into a crocodile pit. Karma moves slowly it seems…
  • Killer Gorilla: Oscar invokes this by feeding his snacks to a gorilla, who goes ape over the bad taste and beats the daylights out of him.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Oscar’s comments and actions at the zoo leads to one injury after another.
  • Like Father Like Daughter: As Penny stubbornly continues to accuse Wizard Jr., Suga Mama remarks that she sees more of her daddy in her every day.
  • Mama Bear: Suga Mama is not only furious upon learning that Penny was fired but won't stand for anyone accusing her grandbaby of any wrongdoing.
  • Never Smile at a Crocodile: Oscar is sent flying by Jumbo spraying him with water to the crocodile exhibit, where one of the crocs swallows him whole.
  • Riddle for the Ages / The Unreveal: How did Bebe and Cece steal the zoo animals without their parents knowing? The world may never know.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Oscar keeps mocking an elephant that he used to harass as a kid and feeds a gorilla a bag of his awful snacks. He ends up getting his just desserts.
  • Witch with a Capital "B": "We should have flattened the tires on that witch's broom before we left." says Zoey after Randi fires her friends.
