Jason and Midgel play various pranks on the Rockhopper crew, who isn't amused at all. When they serve as substitute teachers at the Federation Academy, they get a taste of what it's like to be pranked.
Practical Tropes:
- Alternative Calendar: Implied when Fidgel said that Bert Bertman was part of the class of 2222. Judging from the model of the car that Jason and Michelle rode in on their way to Grandmum's cottage, the show takes place at the dawn of the 21st century at earliest.
- Bucket Booby-Trap: Jason successfully uses this to prank Michelle, much to her chagrin.
- Cuckoo Finger Twirl: One of the light bulb alien students does this when Zidgel monologues about his Academy days instead of actually teaching.
- Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: Zidgel hums the theme song when doing his hair.
- "Just Joking" Justification: Jason and Midgel claim this when confronted by Michelle about the pranks they played on the rest of the Rockhopper crew.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Cavitus' and his minions' disguises consist only of Groucho Marx glasses, thus Jason pretty quickly catches on to who they really are.
- Pain-Powered Leap: Midgel lets out a yelp of pain and leaps into the air the minute he fell for the old thumbtack on the chair prank.
- Pie in the Face: Fidgel receives one of these when he opens his laptop thanks to Jason and Midgel.
- Thumbtack on the Chair: Baron von Cavitus' first minion places a tell-a-liar (a dart-like alien) on Midgel's chair.
- Whoopee Cushion: Jason and Midgel use one of these to prank Michelle.
