Recap / The Secret Show S 2 E 5 Victor Of The Future

Go To

U.Z.Z is being beamed up to the Floaty-head spaceship, and Victor from the future arrives to help.

Changed Daily's Name: Nibbly Nobbly Knock Knees

Secret Tropes uncovered:

  • Alliterative Name: Changed Daily's name for the day is "Nibbly Nobbly Knock Knees".
  • Awesome McCoolname: In stark contrast to Changed Daily's name being "Nibbly Nobbly Knock Knees", Future Victor's alias is "Jet Strong". NNKK, naturally, is jealous that Future Victor gets a better-sounding alias than the ones NNKK gets on a regular basis.
  • Borrowed Catchphrase: Future Victor uses Professor Professor's "Untested and Highly Dangerous" when he arrives, and also uses "My name is Changed Daily" used by NNKK, replacing "Daily" with "Pandimensionally".
  • The Collector: The Floaty-heads decide to beam up the U.Z.Z. base to add to their collection after Doctor Doctor sells it to them in exchange for a milkshake. When the U.Z.Z. base ends up badly damaged, however, the Floaty-heads decide to beam up the T.H.E.M. base with Doctor Doctor still inside instead.
  • My Future Self and Me: Future Victor travels back to the present day in order to warn his past self and stop the Floaty-heads from beaming up the U.Z.Z. base. Future Professor Professor also comes along by stowing away in a secret compartment in Future Victor's pod and gets to hang out with his past self for a bit.
  • Never Mess with Granny: Sweet Little Granny whacks Ray over the head with her banjo after Ray tells the camera to run The Secret Show.
  • Once an Episode:
    • Sweet Little Granny is evicted by Ray killing the lights, and when Granny gets out a candle, she gets told "for very secret reasons", and a fumble in the dark ensues.
    • After the title sequence, Anita and Victor enter the episode from jumping down the rafters of the U.Z.Z. base.
    • Changed Daily’s name in this episode is "Nibbly Nobbly Knock Knees".
  • One-Steve Limit: Future Victor calls himself "Jet Strong", but everyone else calls him "Future Victor", which leads to confusion early on when talking about both Victors.
  • Skewed Priorities:
    • NNKK berates Victor and Anita for their lateness at the start of the episode even though they were being chased down by the pod that turned out to contain Victor of the future.
    • NNKK is more concerned about his clock than Future Victor being knocked out after the clock hits him on the head when the latter slams his fist on the mantlepiece.
  • Time-Travel Tense Trouble: Present Victor and Professor Professor have a lot of trouble with this when talking about Future Victor.
  • Time-Traveling Jerkass: Future Professor Professor turns out to be an even bigger asshole than his younger self. When asked by present Victor how the Floaty-heads were defeated back when this was happening for him, he trolls him by having him play a guessing game and then throw potatoes at their ship.
