History Recap / ThePowerpuffGirlsS3E2TownAndOutChildFearing

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The whole episode is about what would happen if heroes like the girls were put in a more realistic setting.

* AnAesop: If you don't like something, it's important to tell someone or you'll make it worse.

'''Town and Out''': The girls and the Professor move to the town of Citiesville, but the girls quickly grow to dislike their new home, but don't have the heart to tell the Professor who downright loves it.

* ChildishPillowFight: Mojo finds himself on the receiving end of one of these, [[Recap/ThePowerpuffGirlsS2E13SomethingsAMsSlumberingWithTheEnemy again]].

* WorldOfJerkass: Everyone in Citiesville are portrayed as [[ApatheticCitizens apathetic,]] [[{{Jerkass}} mean-spirited jerks.]] There isn't a single person in Citiesville that is nice or remotely sympathetic towards the girls and the Professor. They are forced to live in a poorly-maintained apartment, they get [[KidsAreCruel laughed at by the kids at their new school,]] stared down by a nasty teacher. To add to it, the "Town of Citiesville" is a complete reverse of the "City of Townsville".

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The girls [[ShownTheirWork read Mojo the riot act]] over his bedtime story of Napoleon Bonaparte after he gives them a short and ''highly'' inaccurate story about him.

* ShoutOut: The Mayor is playing ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' on a Nintendo 64, right down to the mini boss music and Navi's portrayal.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While the mayor and police of Citiesville are very cruel and incompetent, their anger about the destruction of the Citiesville bridge is justifiable. The bridge of Citiesville costs a ''whopping'' $3,000,000, compared to a measly $400 the robbers stole.

** The scene with the Mayor neglecting his duties was taking potshots towards the show's crew. During production on the show, everyone was occupied playing ''Ocarina of Time'' that the studio was shut down for a month. It was likely added by Genndy Tartakovsky due to him being mad at the time.

* Blarney is basically a Loch Ness Monster version of ''[[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]]''.

* WorldOfJerkass: Everyone in Citiesville are portrayed as [[ApatheticCitizens apathetic,]] [[{{Jerkass}} mean-spirited jerks.]] There isn't a single person in Citiesville that is nice or remotely sympathetic towards the girls and the Professor. They are forced to live in a poorly-maintained apartment, they get [[KidsAreCruel laughed at by the kids at their new school,]] stared down by a nasty teacher, and are forbidden from using their powers after they accidently destroy their bridge to stop a robbery. To add to it, the "Town of Citiesville" is a complete reverse of the "City of Townsville".

* HateSink: All the citizens of Citiesville are reviled among fans for being total douchebags for no good reason. Special mention goes to the mayor, who makes a law forbidding the girls from using their powers after they destroy a landmark bridge to stop some robbers.

* BabysitterFromHell: Mojo Jojo is the girls’ baby sitter this episode. And he uses his new position to try and make the girls help him take over Townville.

* ArmourPiercingQuestion: "At what point did it seem like a good idea to blow up the Citiesville bridge?" Unfortunately, this is a rhetorical armor-piercing question, as the mayor does not give the girls a chance to answer.
