Recap / The Secret Show S 2 E 6 Monument Racers

Go To

The world's landmarks are racing one another, and when Doctor Doctor gets involved, things only get more heated up.

Changed Daily's Name: Sammy Saucebox.

Secret Tropes uncovered:

  • The Cameo:
    • Alphonse returns as an "architecture consultant" on the monument races.
    • Sweet Old Grandpa is in the crowd in the Pisa versus Liberty race.
  • Borrowed Catchphrase: Sweet Little Granny using Special Agent Ray's "Run... The Secret Show!" line.
  • Eiffel Tower Effect: Weaponized. The episode's premise is that famous world landmarks are being used as rockets.
  • Gelatinous Encasement: After being subdued by Victor and Anita, Aaron and Darren have apparently run off with a "jelly-fier". Before anyone can inquire as to what that is, everyone and everything in the room becomes enveloped in green jelly.
  • Gratuitous French: Professor Professor says "Magnifique" after Anita wins in the first race.
  • Identical Twins: Aaron and Darren have the same character designs, with the colors of their shirts being the only things that can be used to distinguish the two from one another.
  • Meaningless Villain Victory: Doctor Doctor steals all the money in the world by rocketing all the banks in the world to the moon... but with nothing to spend it on and no way of getting back to Earth, she's stuck there.
  • Monumental Theft: The basic premise revolves around Aaron and Darren using experimental "weird little motor thingies" to uproot and race several monuments in the air. While U.Z.Z. works to put a stop to it, everyone else bets on which monument will be the winner.
  • Once an Episode:
    • Sweet Little Granny and the bunnies are buried under 28,610 acorns. In retaliation, she pelts Special Agent Ray with acorns and even gets to say "Run... The Secret Show!" in his stead.
    • Victor and Anita land on their skybikes after the title sequence.
    • Changed Daily's name is "Sammy Saucebox" for this episode.
    • The colorful codenames return with "Situation Celery!" being exclaimed by Ray.
  • Running Gag: Anita winning the races, and Professor Professor always asking Victor about it.
  • Skewed Priorities: Professor Professor ignores Victor and only cares about who won the race between Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower.
