YMMV / The Powerpuff Girls S 6 EP 16 See Me Feel Me Gnomey

• Fridge Brilliance: The reason the Powerpuff Girls got overwhelmed is exactly because they were that outnumbered. Not in terms of numbers but in terms of power. Among them are the 'Beat-Alls' which consist of Him, Mojo Jojo, Princess Morbucks and Fuzzy Lumpkins, four villains enough to overpower them in the episode with the same name. Both episodes involved references to real life singers, namely the Beatles for the former and Jess Harnell who did a Jack Black-like impression in that order as Jack Black was in high demand at the time.
  • Question: What was with one song saying that there's no good without the bad, and the ending song saying we should get along? Answer: It's not "getting along" as in "We're all on the same side" but rather "agree to disagree". You see, at the start of the episode, the villains and Girls wanted each other gone forever and even the Girls began to wish evil could be gone forever so that there'd be world peace and no need for them to continue fighting crime, but they learn they need each other for their world to work. "It takes all kinds guys, to make the world go round".
• He Really Can Act: Jess Harnell, doing his best Jack Black imitation when voicing the Gnome, is awesome enough with his stellar singing voice, but his delivery on the Gnome's Heel Realization Last Words as he meets his demise via Disney Villain Death is absolutely chilling.
• Magnificent Bastard: The Gnome seeks to create a utopia revolving around himself. To this end, he manipulates the Powerpuff Girls into making a deal with him promising to get rid of the town's villains if they gave him their powers in return. Quickly asserting himself as the ruler of Townsville after vanquishing the other villains, the citizens of Townsville worship the Gnome and establish a cult dedicated to him. In his final moments, the Gnome realized the error of his ways, and willed himself to die, concluding that he couldn't exist in his perfect utopia.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?: While the episode was written as nothing more than a pastiche of Rock Operas like Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar, many audiences interpreted the plot as an anti-Communist allegory thanks to the Gnome's red garb and his idea of a utopia revolving around making him the authoritarian leader of Townsville. The pro-Red Scare interpretation became so popular that fans assumed that it was what led the episode to be banned.
