And in [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8lZ9tx7QQ1M this one]], Nigel makes a bog witch's head smooth so she'll stop rubbing everyone else's heads out of jealousy, but [[spoiler: he ends up accidentally removing part of her brain in the process]].

* BringMyBrownPants: [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KHDUBzlZLXE In one short]], Marmalade does this after noticing that the flesh-table he and Nigel are riding is approaching a cliff. Nevermind his apparent lack of pants.
--> '''Marmalade:''' I'm currently wetting myself.
* CurseCutShort: In one short, where Nigel and Marmalade [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GSeRVdPQGlY help a sentient apple get revenge on the horse that tried to eat it]], the apple does this when it realizes it's about to be eaten by said horse.
--> '''Apple:''' Oh, fu-- [CHOMP]
