History NightmareFuel / TheCrumpets

* "Sticks Stink": After waking up from his nightmare, amidst a percussive sound, L'il-One commits DisproportionateRetribution at his deceitful brother by angrily pulling the diaper he wants back (the pull being strong to move the crib) to the floor. L'il-One tries to pounce at King but Ma grabs the tail of the lion costume he is wearing and ousts him from his actual bedroom.

** Those sparrows who died from the first onslaught? The Crumpets eat their meat with minimal preparation (besides cooking them in a pot with vegetables and juice). There are feathered carcasses in the family's sparrow stew, and Blister plays one of them.

* In "Sticks Stink", L'il-One's nightmare consists of bombs falling and destroying an African jungle, followed by skeletal ghosts resembling King rising up on the red sky. The African-styled music transitions from a happy, female/child singing one to an upbeat violent drum tune sung by men.
** After waking up from the dream, amidst a percussive sound, L'il-One commits DisproportionateRetribution at his deceitful brother by angrily pulling the diaper he wants back (the pull being strong to move the crib) to the floor. L'il-One tries to pounce at King but Ma grabs the tail of the lion costume he is wearing and ousts him from his actual bedroom.

* Ditzy can be scary in the right situation, especially in "Ghost In The Attic", when her floating head gets separated from her body in the attic. As with the next scene, imagine yourself being one of the twins under a table in the attic and your sister's head pops through the cloth saying nothing and frowning before she departs with the cloth worn. Then after being buried in the earth outside the house, she emerges like a zombie (while wearing the table cloth), with bones exposed in the nearby dirt, reveals that she is also wearing the attic's blonde wig, and scares Ms. [=McBrisk=] with this surprise, in addition to Ditzy's walking headless body arriving.
* In "Taxidermama", it's without a doubt disturbing that one of Ma's children proposes to make his mother a taxidermic piece of art. Unfortunately, Ma becomes insane from her hopelessness at her broken MatterReplicator through the episode, feels useless and complies to his plan. Thankfully, Pa terminates his son's stuffing idea once he rescues his wife.
** Then there's the poor but annoying Ms. [=McBrisk=] getting her head caught by a lawnmower which had been catapulted by the man of her love obsession. It doesn't help that the lawnmower is activated and drags her body in a lengthy time out her lawn as she badly screams. Pa rides on her when he rescues Ma, without regard for his neighbor. Then as Ma utilizes her machine again, the lawnmower hits it and [=McBrisk=] faints, while the latter machine is still running. She survives this mishap, but the degree of her damage is never shown.
* It's dreadful for the Crumpet house to have ever been the site of a nuclear explosion at the end of "Acne Dents Happen" as a consequence of Ohoh stepping and squirting the radioactive acne cream to his mother's new power generator. Despite the call for evacuation, it doesn't show that any of the Crumpets fled, and none are to be heard once the house goes kaboom.
* José the octosquito proves to be a burden in the Crumpet house in the episode named after his accidentally-created species. He shoots ink that make his targets ill and faint. Then Granny throws him to the rotor of Hurried's helicopter, followed by his failed effort to escape the spinning blades and a GoryDiscretionShot of his chopped parts and splats of black ink. If one finds a FreezeFrameBonus of the last frame of José alive, the tip of one his tentacles was already chopped off.
** Also worth mentioning is José's capture of his owner Grownboy. As Blister's failure to rescue one of her older brothers, the monster catches a fairy-like dressed Grownboy and slowly pulls him to a room before locking the door. Consequentially, the implied BlackComedyRape was why Grownboy grows tentacles and wings in the ending.

* T-Bone's body getting sliced in his dog house "No Pffuture" isn't deadly, but the insides of his body halves can be seen, albeit not very detailed.

** Being ejected to the moon from losing the game show could as well be a punishment by death (kind of like the hosts promising them to become "nobodies"). The people however do breath air there.
** And in the episode's beginning, the idea of a game show host looking for the homes of potential incoming families with flying cameras and arriving inside in an instance can be unsettling.

* In "Murder Everywhere", Pa's character hilariously "dies" in the party game due to L'il-One trying to participate the game against Caprice's will into literally killing him. After Pa happily remarks that he is "dead", Granny finally appears in the party and ''stabs'' her son with a running chainsaw. His next appearance shows him as if he's never punctured by a chainsaw to his chest and clothing.
* While it's amusing for girls to grow long body hair in a malfunctioning wax machine in "Hairifying", things go downhill when Ms. [=McBrisk=]'s remedy for Ohoh's vomiting condition outweighs its benefits due to the side-effect of turning any female person into a zombie. Gradually, different female main characters, starting with poor Cassandra, are caught by the odor and zombify while Ohoh is taken by L'il-One across the house. The music's ominous percussion and violin sounds especially adds up the fright. And at the end when the zombie crisis appeared to be resolved, everyone screams loud upon finding [=McBrisk=] intact as a zombie.

* "Crumperchés": The episode takes a dark turn when, after the last musical number, Marylin's body sprouts electric mushrooms due to his long self-constraint on the ailing tree bearing the same condition. He had been ignoring Pa's recommendation to avoid the tree at all costs. He screams constantly from his electrical shocks as his friends figure how to save him.
* "Les sur-vivants": After Triceps' hallucination began from eating the berries in the woods, she kidnaps most of her group mates, her arms visible in the process.
* "Dans tes dents": Caprice keeps her mouth shut due to her fear of revealing her braces to her friends, especially Marylin. As Marylin writes a song about a withdrawn girl like Caprice, her mouth already has visible little wrinkles branching off, sort of evoking [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]]'s mouth.

** After waking up from the dream, amidst a percussive sound, L'il-One mistreats his deceitful brother by angrily pulling the diaper he wishes to wear again (the pull being strong to move the crib) to the floor. L'il-One tries pounce King but Ma grabs the tail of the lion costume he is wearing and removes him from his own bedroom in truth.
* Renato entering Ma's tummy hatch in "Croco-Deal" is a nightmarish experience, considering that a crocodile is essentially inside a woman. Fortunately, she gets Renato handled in the end.

* Ditzy can be scary in the right situation, especially in "Ghost In The Attic", when her floating head gets separated from her body in the attic. As with the next scene, imagine yourself being one of the twins under a table in the attic and your sister's head pops through the cloth saying nothing and frowning before she departs with the cloth worn. Then after being buried in the earth outside the house, she emerges like a zombie (while wearing the table cloth), with bones exposed in the nearby dirt, reveals that she is also wearing the blonde wig, and scares Ms. [=McBrisk=] with this surprise, in addition to the walking headless body approaching to the scene.

* It's dreadful for the Crumpet house to have ever been the site of a nuclear explosion at the end of "Acne Dents Happen" as a consequence of Ohoh stepping and squirting the radioactive acne cream to his mother's new power generator. Despite the call for evacuation, it doesn't show that any Crumpet did, and none are to be heard once the house goes kaboom.
* José the octosquito has proven to be a burden in the Crumpet house in the episode named after the type of creature he becomes. He shoots ink that make his targets ill and faint. Then Granny throws him to the rotor of Hurried's helicopter, followed by his failed effort to escape the spinning blades and a GoryDiscretionShot of his chopped parts and splats of black ink. If one finds a FreezeFrameBonus of the last frame of José alive, the tip of one his tentacles was already chopped off.

* Ohoh may not look like a horrible child, but it's realized in "My Family's Full of Losers" that he tries to murder nearly all the family in a game show round. Aunt Harried presents him the box containing a machine gun that almost looks too heavy for him to carry and suggests to eliminate the other family members present in the room. At her orders in the dark and after the kids shout his CatchPhrase, Ohoh fires the gun at the stand with no unwillingness, multiple rounds are heard as it just sound like the children are screaming to their deaths, not to mention the flashes appearing to illuminate the blood ejecting out the victims. Thankfully as it turns, nearly all children escaped to safety on the hanging lights near the ceiling, but only that Pfff is left behind and is injured with holes through his body, and doesn't die. Of course, this show gave the illusion of a deadly mass shooting and execution towards children.
** Being ejected to the moon from losing the game show could as well be a punishment by death (kind of like the hosts promising them to become "nobodies"). The people however do breath air there.
** And in the episode's beginning, the idea of a game show host looking for the homes of potential incoming families with flying cameras and arriving inside in an instance can be unsettling.

* In "Cheep Shot", there are two mass killings of birds. The first one is a flock of yellow sparrows in the greenhouse shot by the Gatling gun in Ma's new defense system, only one injured which escapes to the [=McBrisk=] yard. The other occasion is Ms. [=McBrisk=]'s ironic betrayal of her bird patients as a result of Grownboy's marriage to Steve. She shoots flames at the poor creatures and blocks the screen screen.
** Those sparrows who died from the first onslaught? The Crumpets eat their meat with minimal preparation (besides cooking them in a pot with vegetables and juice). There are feathered carcasses in the family's sparrow stew, Blister playing one of them.
** Then there's the defense system's target identification rounding up the family in the greenhouse starting with Pa. Just as Steve discovers the stranded Crumpets in the greenhouse, the system identifies him as a flamingo and fires and misses him. After the wedding, the bird that survived the flamethrower attack flies between the Crumpets and the Gatling gun. The episode ends just before the instance the stranded Crumpets are presumably wiped out amidst a red sky outside.
* When Ma discovers a letter as "proof" of her husband's affair with Ms. [=McBrisk=] in "Family Secrets", she becomes teary eyed, bursts into rage, and expresses gun firing flashes from her ears and tummy hatch prior to throwing Pa's suitcase through the window and spawning a security fence to bar him from the house's grounds. And Pa reacts by mumbling, amidst a black and white shredded background.
* In "Murder Everywhere", Pa's character hilariously "dies" in the party game due to L'il-One trying to participate the game against Caprice's will into literally killing him. After Pa happily remarks that is "dead", Granny appears after being late to the party and ''stabs'' her son with a running chainsaw. His next appearance shows him as if he's never punctured by a chainsaw to his chest and clothing.
* While it's amusing for girls to grow long body hair in a malfunctioning wax machine in "Hairifying", things go downhill when Ms. [=McBrisk=]'s remedy for Ohoh's vomiting condition outweighs its benefits due to the side-effect of turning any female person into zombies. Gradually, different female main characters, starting with poor Cassandra, are caught by the odor and zombify while Ohoh is taken by L'il-One across the house. The music's ominous percussion and violin sounds especially adds up the fright. And at the end, everyone screams loud upon finding [=McBrisk=] intact as a zombie.
* "Addicted": Granny's selling of her son's anti-addiction garden gas to Ms. [=McBrisk=] leads to the latter succumbing to the gas because it temporarily cures her allergy zits, and [=McBrisk=] chooses to invest more on them instead of her daughter. The Crumpet children's inhalation of their father's gas also makes them [[{{Irony}} addicted]] to the remedy in spite of wanting to cure their own hobby addictions. Their impatience leads to their destruction of the gas manufacturing machine, and they surround and moan at their parents like zombies. L'il-One signals his siblings of their fellow addicted neighbor's supply of the gas, then they rush outside, trespass her house, and consume hers. The children's dedication to this substance is evident after their final doses there.

* "Auto-graff": Caprice gets shocked from Pfff and Marylin's revelation that it was she who spray-painted spoiler:her friends and family the night before. The flashback shows everyone trying to pursuit a sleepwalking, seemingly unemotional Caprice with BlankWhiteEyes, who at one point makes a grin up close.

* "Crumperchés": The episode takes a dark turn when after the last musical number, Marylin's body sprouts electric mushrooms due to his long self-constraint on the ailing tree bearing the same condition. He had been ignoring Pa's recommendation to avoid the tree at all costs. He screams constantly from his electrical shocks as his friends figure how to save him.

* "Dans tes dents": Caprice keeps shutting her mouth due to her fear of revealing her braces to her friends, especially Marylin. As Marylin writes a song about a withdrawn girl like Caprice, her mouth already has visible little wrinkles branching off, sort of evoking [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]]'s mouth.

Then as Ma utilizes her machine again, the lawnmower hits it and [=McBrisk=] faints, while the latter machine is still running. She survives this mishap, but the degree of her damage is never shown.

* In "Murder Everywhere", after Pa's character "dies" in the party game due to L'il-One's violation of the game's rules and that the former isn't quite dead, Granny appears after being late to the party and stabs her son with a running chainsaw. But it's shown that in his next appearance he looks like he's never punctured by a chainsaw to his chest and clothing.

* In "Addicted", Granny's selling of her son's anti-addiction garden gas to Ms. [=McBrisk=] leads to the latter succumbing to the gas because it temporarily cures her allergy zits, and [=McBrisk=] chooses to invest more on them instead of her daughter.

The children's dedication to this substance is evident after their final doses there.
* In "Inside Li'l One's Brain", Pa is greeted inside his son's brain with a stylized shadow animation of Li'l One firing a DeathRay at Pa's shadow image. Li'l One's EvilLaugh is lengthy and tremendously menacing.
* In "Insectator", after Pfff's character is killed by a rabbit ninja in the video game, his opponent is revealed to the viewer as [[spoiler:Cassandra, who makes an EvilLaugh and has BlankWhiteEyes due to her obsession with the game]].

* In "Inside Li'l One's Brain", Pa is greeted inside his son's brain with a stylized shadow animation of Li'l One firing a DeathRay at Pa's shadow image. Li'l One's EvilLaugh is lengthy and tremendously menacing.

* Renato entering Ma's tummy hatch in "Croco-deal" is a nightmarish experience, considering that a crocodile is essentially inside a woman. Fortunately, she gets Renato handled in the end.
* In "Booty for Beauty", Granny's body transformations are drastically surprising and creepy. [[spoiler:L'il-One discovers her in the house all in a sudden, and there she just looks like a wrinkly Ms. [=McBrisk=], but with the voice and mind kept. It was Cordless' idea to transform Granny to resemble [=McBrisk=], but after his parents discover that the latter is a criminal, they revised the plan and transformed the old lady to a poorly-designed form akin to younger Granny. She's unable to talk, her new blonde hair and dress are stitched and comes off, and her body completely deflates as she finally utters a word.]]
* Ditzy can be scary in the right situation, especially in "Ghost In The Attic", when her floating head gets separated from her body in the attic. As in what happens next, imagine being one of the twins under a table in the attic and your sister's head pops through the cloth saying nothing and frowning before she departs wearing the cloth.

Ending up as Blister's failure to rescue one of her older brothers, the monster catches a fairy-like dressed Grownboy and slowly pulls him to a room before locking the door. There could be some [[BlackComedyRape horrific treatment of Grownboy]], and it's probably why he grows tentacles and wings in the end of the episode.]]
* Among all things in "Shake It Up" is the dead/fainted sparrow [[ABloodyMess coated in red paint]]. A dramatic note plays when Triceps discovers it fro Li'l One. In the next scene, Li'l One throws the poor bird and scares the heck out of Ms. [=McBrisk=].
* Ohoh may not look like a horrible child, but it's realized in "My Family's Full of Losers" that he [[spoiler:tries to murder his siblings in a game show round.

But it's shown that in his next appearance he looks like he's never punctured by a chainsaw to his chest and clothing.
* While it's amusing for girls to grow long body hair in a malfunctioning wax machine in "Hairifying", things went worse when Ms. [=McBrisk=]'s remedy for Ohoh's vomiting condition outweighs its benefits due to the side-effect of turning any female person into zombies.

* Ditzy can be scary in the right situation, especially in "Ghost In The Attic", when her floating head gets separated from her body in the attic. As she has become very quiet, the twins remain under the table, but suddenly she pops in, frowns at them, and carries the white table cloth to look like a ghost. [[spoiler:Then after being buried in the earth outside the house, she emerges like a zombie (while wearing the table cloth), with bones exposed in the nearby dirt, reveals that she is also wearing the blonde wig, and scares Ms. [=McBrisk=] with this surprise, in addition to the walking headless body approaching to the scene.]]
