History Recap / AmphibiaS3E14HollywoodHopPop

* BigWhat: Hop Pop's commercial CatchPhrase is a dramatic shout of "Say WHAAAT?"

** Anne once said that Hop Pop's BigWhat exclamations were the '[[Recap/AmphibiaS1E06Stakeout perfect sitcom catchphrase]]'. She's proven right here, as letting out one of these is precisely what nets him the audition, and it later becomes his CatchPhrase on the commercial ad.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Anne and the Plantar children are surprised to learn that the actors for ''Frinthistle Manor'' have American country accents and their British ones are fake.
* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Hop Pop tells Anne that he successfully auditioned for a play, which Anne considers enough of a low-key event that she doesn't think it'd cause any trouble. It's not until she sees him appearing on every channel on the TV that she finds out the 'play' was actually a ''commercial ad'', which Hopidiah didn't realize the difference between.

* TheReveal: Agent Jenners is confirmed to be female.

** Mr. Boonchuy suggests that Mr. X, as a busy federal employee, is not going to notice the commercials with Hop Pop in them. [[GilliganCut Cut to Mr. X doing exactly that.]]

* VillainsOutShopping: Contrary to what Mr. Boonchuy thinks about his role as a busy government federal agent, Mr. X is introduced in this episode doing perfectly normal things around his house, feeding the Earth frogs the Boonchuy parents left behind for him from the theater and watching his favorite show ''Judge Julie'' in his dressing gown eating cereal.

Hop Pop takes the place of an actor who looks like him in an attempt to become discovered, only to attract unwanted attention from Mr. X and the FBI.

* OnlySaneMan: Anne is the only one concerned with how the situation they're in will inevitably draw a lot of attention, including possibly Mr. X.
