Line #7 Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS1E43MysteryScienceFair201X


1	K.O. helps Dendy with her science fair project.
2	----
3	!!Tropes:
4	* {{Callback}}:
5	** Dendy and K.O. discuss Shadowy Figure and allude to K.O.'s two past encounters with him in "T.K.O." and "Let's Have a Stakeout", with K.O. expressing his hope that he's seen the last of Shadowy.
6	** When Dendy tries to trap T.K.O. in a energy cube, he punches through it like how he did with Rad's telekinesis ray in "T.K.O.".
7	* ContinuityNod: Dendy wants K.O. to trade his [[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS1E29AHerosFate Limited Edition Cowboy Darrell]] [[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS1E32KOsVideoChannel POW card]] to her. Then, when K.O. refuses because he cites this as the rarest card he has, Dendy points out that this isn't true; his actual rarest POW card is that of [[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS1E25TKO Shadowy Figure]].[[note]]Which is likely true, since we never see any other POW card of Shadowy Figure in the series except for the one that he personally gave to K.O., meaning it's possibly a one-of-a-kind card.[[/note]]
8	* DoesNotLikeSpam: It turns out that K.O. hates olives.
9	* EvilIsNotAToy: Dendy tries to harness and test T.K.O.'s power, but he trashes her lab.
10	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When T.K.O. says that K.O. would like to see Dendy get upset if he took out her first invention, Dendy tells him that K.O. would never want to watch his friends get hurt... [[JerkassRealization and then realizes that she's been doing just that to K.O. during her experiments]].
11	* FailsafeFailure: Dendy foresaw that T.K.O. would want to destroy her lab if she induced his transformation, and so set up a ForceFieldCage to contain him. He instantly shatters it.
12	* FunnyTerrainCrossSection: When Dendy and K.O. travel to her secret lab, a number of funny things can be [[FreezeFrameBonus seen around the tunnel to the lab]], including piles of buried treasure, Crinkly Wrinkly, and a skeleton in a fedora holding a cup of coffee.
13	* {{Homage}}: Several sequences in Dendy's lab are references to ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'':
14	** Dendy and K.O.'s footsteps make the same sounds as Dexter and Dee Dee, Dendy walks like Dexter, and K.O. breaks out some Dee Dee-esque ballet moves.
15	** Dendy speaks in Dexter's accent when T.K.O. is destroying her lab, even telling him to "Get out of my observatory!"
16	** T.K.O. laughs exactly like Mandark.
17	** K.O. makes a Dee Dee-like "oooh" when he's about to press the button on the capsule containing Dendy's first creation. He's also in the same pose as Dee Dee in her first WhatDoesThisButtonDo scene from the pilot.
18	** The monkey in one of Dendy's experiments resembles Dexter's lab monkey, who appeared on the "Dial M for Monkey" segments.
19	** Dendy's first invention - a device that turns on a light bulb - is similar in concept to Dexter's own first invention, as seen in the episodes "Lab of the Lost" and "[[Recap/DextersLaboratoryS2EP38 LABretto]]".
20	** "With apologies to the crew of WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory :)" appears under "THE END"
21	* InkblotTest: Dendy makes K.O. go through one. K.O.'s first two response seems normal until he starts seeing "[[DisappearedDad daddies]]" on the rest of the other images.
22	* MovingTheGoalposts: Dissatisfied with her class' quiz scores, Ms. Quantum changes entry in the school science fair from optional to mandatory ''one day'' before they were due.
23	* TheNotSoHarmlessPunishment: Ms. Quantum threatens that students who don't bring an experiment to the science fair on time will be "suspended from school", which is bad enough considering that isn't actually breaking a rule. Then she points out the window to a student tied up and ''[[VisualPun physically]]'' [[UnwillingSuspension suspended]] from the school building ([[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood which is several stories high]]).
24	* OhCrap: K.O.’s reaction when Dendy reveals her science project.
25	* ThePowerOfLove: Dendy's alternate science project demonstrates the (literal, electrical) power of positive emotions, but group four (Genesis and Nanini) did it better.
26	* SadisticChoice:
27	** Dendy runs a simulation in which Rad, Enid and Mr. Gar are trapped in the Bodega during a plasma fire and K.O. has thirty seconds to save only one of them. Due to K.O.'s unwillingness to choose only one, the simulation ends with all three dying... and results in T.K.O. being unleashed once more.
28	** Dendy has to choose between saving K.O. (de-powered from his T.K.O. state) or her first invention from falling. She chooses K.O., realizing that [[FriendOrIdolDecision losing a cherished memento isn't as bad as losing a friend.]]
29	* ShoutOut: The titular fair refers to ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''.
