This is just from what I remember of the episode it came from, since it isn't found online. God, I wish someone was able to get in contact with the creators about this cause I have had no luck whatsoever.

Too confused by the situation to figure out who it is they're supposed to be rooting for and worried that they might destroy their friendship, Winchell and Maxine decide to enter in disguises, although they themselves end up becoming a little too competitive with each other while trying to win.



* VoteEarlyVoteOften: One episode has Duane becoming the new mayor of Mischief City by voting for himself a million times ([[LampshadeHanging despite doing so being illegal as Maxine points out]]) with Winchell taking advantage of the situation by appealing to Duane's ego to manipulate him into making the city better and more fun by implementing various things. The end of the episode has Winchell and Maxine tricking Duane into signing a document that will make him officially step down and hand the position to Hey Hey and Mr. Cube.

!!Tropes:
* AdvancedTech2000: All of the devices Winchell brings out end in a number in the thousands. Duane once created a device and puts ten million at the end of the name to emphasize how great it is.
* AmbiguousSituation: It’s unclear whether Winchell actually physically travels to Mischief City or if it is all just [[MrImagination in his imagination]]. The fact that he often knows more about the setting than the inhabitants, how he just pulls impossible inventions seemingly out of nowhere and some of his actions near the end of the episode in his world implies that it might be the latter.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Winchell’s baby sister Cleo. She’s usually the cause of a lot of Winchell’s problems back in his world.
* BigBrotherBully: Duane.
* BigEater: Hey Hey and Mr. Cube are capable of consuming mountains of food without breaking a sweat. Duane steals this trait from them in one episode so he can win an eating contest.
** One episode has Cleo consuming Winchell’s huge bag of Halloween candy all in one night, although she suffers from a huge stomach ache by the end of it.
* TheDitz: Hey Hey and Mr. Cube, which is putting it rather mildly.
* FantasticVoyagePlot: One episode has Winchell and Maxine shrinking down and going inside Mr. Cube after the latter accidentally eats Maxine’s glasses in his sleep.
* EvilCounterpart: Mr. Square to Mr. Cube.
* GagNose: Hey Hey sports a large bulbous nose in contrast to the noseless Mr. Cube.
* GirlishPigtails: Maxine sports these which give her the ability to fly.
* HelicopterHair: Maxine can fly in the air using her pigtails as propellers.
* TheNoseless: Mr. Cube in contrast to Hey Hey. Becomes a plot point in one episode when he becomes the one to deal with getting rid of a pair of Duane’s extremely smelly socks.
* StrictlyFormula: The episodes usually go like this: Winchell is confronted with a real-world problem, but before he can solve it, he is whisked away to the fantasy world of Mischief City. There he is immediately greeted by Maxine, Hey Hey and Mr. Cube. Maxine usually informs Winchell of some trouble or event occurring in Mischief City which the group attends to, resulting in an adventure. When the adventure concludes, Winchell returns to the real world and is able to deal with the initial problem.
* TooDumbToLive: Hey Hey and Mr. Cube a lot of the time.
* ToonPhysics: Mischief City and its inhabitants run on this, with Maxine being a frequent user of it. Winchell is also capable of it, but only when he is his superhero alter-ego Captain Kookamunga.
* VoteEarlyVoteOften: One episode has Duane becoming the new mayor of Mischief City as he voted for himself one million times. [[LampshadeHanging Maxine even points out that he shouldn't have been able to do that since it's illegal]]. The end of the episode has Winchell and Maxine tricking Duane into signing a document that will make him step down and hand the position to Hey Hey and Mr. Cube.
