History Recap / TheDreamstoneS03E05TheDreamBeamInvasion

** RestrainedRevenge: Frizz and Nug's retribution on the Noops on the other hand is to...scare them away, causing them a mild pratfall compared to the lengthy HumiliationConga they inflicted them. And they ''still'' don't catch a break since the Dream Maker then pops the bubble over the lake in response.

** DisproportionateRestitution: Frizz and Nug's retribution on the Noops on the other hand is to...scare them away, causing them a mild pratfall compared to the lengthy HumiliationConga they inflicted them. And they ''still'' don't catch a break since the Dream Maker then pops the bubble over the lake in response.

* BullyHunter: Of the HeWhoFightsMonsters sort. After finding out Frizz and Nug have been (unwillingly) ruining kids nightmares, the heroes corner them in the dream and teach them a good hard lesson. This is taken too far however, ending up giving the two the upper hand and making the Noops look like cowardly bullies instead.
* CurbstompBattle: Deconstructed. The Noops start one against Frizz and Nug as per usual. When it stops being this for once, the former ''retreat terrified'', unequipped to fighting a real challenge.

* IdiotBall[=/=]JerkassBall: The heroes plan to capture Frizz and Nug would have almost certainly have worked had they not decided to give them a lengthy revenge beating first.
** Or better yet if the Dream Maker hadn't [[ForgotAboutHisPowers forgotten he could literally just magic away the bubble]].

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: An arguable downplayed case for the Noops, who suffer a small humiliation for another KickThemWhileTheyAreDown tactic. They noticeably rarely use DisproportionateRetribution again after this episode.

* VillainBall: A rare example of the ''heroes'' of a story holding it, losing the opportunity to finally capture two of the RoguesGallery because they wanted to give them [[GoodIsNotSoft a long, painful and ironic enough punishment]] first.

* WildTake: A rare case the heroes provide one when Frizz and Nug scare them off.

* IndecisiveDeconstruction: Given the serious narrative and music accompanying the heroes, it's hard to tell if their scare was meant to be karmic or not.

* CurbstompBattle: Deconstructed. The Noops start one against Frizz and Nug as per usual. When it stops being this for once, the former ''retreat terrified''.

* CurbstompBattle: Deconstructed. The Noops start one against Frizz and Nug as per usual. When it stops being this for once, the former are ''terrified'' of them.

And they ''still'' don't get off since the Dream Maker then pops the bubble over the lake in response.

* DisproportionateRetribution[=/=]KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: A rare case of it [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard backfiring]] onto the heroes, initiating another NoHoldsBarredBeatdown onto the already defenseless Frizz and Nug for ruining a Noop's dream, just long enough for their shrink spell to wear off. Reversed around afterwards, since their revenge on the heroes is to...scare them away.

Reversed around afterwards, since their revenge on the heroes is to...scare them away.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: An arguable downplayed case for the Noops, who suffer a small humiliation for once again using DisproportionateRetribution. They noticeably rarely use overkill retaliations again after this episode.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: An arguable downplayed case for the Noops' DisproportionateRetribution tendencies. They noticeably rarely use overkill retaliations again after this episode.

* WhosLaughingNow: Frizz and Nug get the pleasure of making the Noops and Albert cower and retreat before them for once during the climax.

* SmugSnake: Rare heroic case. And of course Urpgor as usual, especially when his device works.

** Frizz and Nug as usual try but fail several times over.

* LostAesop: It's hard to tell whether or not the narrative is siding with the Noops in the end, treating the Urpney's attack dramatically but still punishing them for using DisproportionateRetribution (albeit in a comparatively mild form to what Frizz and Nug suffer).

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: An arguable downplayed case for the Noops' DisproportionateRetribution tendencies. They noticeably rarely do so again after this episode.
