2	'''The Cool Guy'''
3
4	Lord Hater's next invasion is put on hold when he ditches Peepers and joins Emperor Awesome to hang out, resulting in him acting like a party-loving dude like Emperor Awesome and making Peepers feel left out.
5
6	!!Tropes appearing in ''The Cool Guy'':
7
8	* AccidentalMisnaming: At the beginning, Emperor Awesome calls Lord Hater "Lord Harry".
9	* AnAesop: Being "cool" is relative. But what's not cool is looking down on others that don't fit one's idea of "cool".
10	* ContinuityNod: Hater mentions his pet, Captain Tim.
11	* CurbStompBattle: Hater vs. Awesome at the end, though to be fair Hater caught Awesome by surprise.
12	* DemotedToExtra: Wander and Sylvia only appear at the very end.
13	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Hater looks noticeably discomfited as Emperor Awesome starts to rag on Peepers, since they happened to run into the latter by accident.
14	* FailedAttemptAtDrama: Peepers attempting to march out of Hater's ship as Emperor Awesome laughs at him; Peepers slips and slides down. Hater's little second-in-command still tries to take over the planet.
15	* FriendlyEnemy: Peepers and Sylvia seem to be developing this sort of relationship, where they let out a simultaneous "sigh" after Hater chases Wander at the end.
16	* HannibalLecture: This counts since he is the villain. Peepers gives an awesome one when Emperor Awesome tries to mock him: he points out that "nerds" get things done in the world, because they set goals and make plans. Emperor Awesome in contrast has done nothing great because he doesn't have any goals in life.
17	* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Lord Hater blasts Emperor Awesome once he sees that he's about to pummel Peepers, yelling out, "Nobody picks on Peepers but me!"
18	* InsultBackfire: Peepers is proud to be a nerd, no matter what other people say.
19	* ModelPlanning: Hater and Peepers use models to plan out their invasion, which Emperor Awesome dismisses as toys. In the end, Wander and Sylvia join in with models of their own.
20	* RousingSpeech: Peepers gives one to the Watchdogs when they proceed with the invasion without Hater.
21	* TalkToTheFist: This was Awesome's response to Peepers's HannibalLecture; fortunately Hater intervenes.
22	* VillainEpisode: One that focuses mostly on Lord Hater and Emperor Awesome.
23	* VillainousFriendship: Peepers and Hater solidify this. They play together with mini-figures while planning the invasion of a planet, and when Awesome picks on Peepers, Hater comes to his defense.
24	* VillainProtagonist: Peepers and Hater for this episode.

27	'''The Catastrophe'''
28
29	Sylvia's attendance at watching a jellyfish migration is disrupted when Wander becomes obsessed with funny cat videos, resulting in him missing everything. But Sylvia discovers that the videos are part of a more fiendish plot.

31	!!Tropes appearing in ''The Catastrophe''
32
33	* AmusingInjuries: Sylvia suffers through several of these, first at the factory making Baby Cakes video players, then again while trying to out-do Lil Bits as a viral video star. She does end up rather roughed up and in a lot of pain by the end, however.
34	* BadassInDistress: Wander this time, and we know it's bad when he starts acting like a kitten.
35	* TheBusCameBack: Lil Bits returns, only now calling herself "Baby Cakes" and looking much cleaner.
36	* CallBack: Lil Bits is back to get revenge for the humiliation she suffered from Wander and Sylvia the last time they met in "The Stray".
37	* CuteKitten: "Baby Cakes", the cat in the videos that Wander falls in love with - who is actually Lil Bits acting out a new EvilPlan.
38	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Real vending machines in Japan carry items like the ones that Wander finds, including the cellphone. The planet seems to be modeled off Tokyo with its giant display screens.
39	* EpicFail: Sylvia at first when trying to snap the citizens out of their brainwashing.
40	* EyesNeverLie: This was how Sylvia was able to recognize Little Bits in the video.
41	* GotMeDoingIt: Upon confronting Baby Cakes, Sylvia repeatedly catches herself talking in her ElmerFuddSyndrome way of speaking.
42	* GroinAttack: During her slapstick to out-do Lil Bits, one of the injuries she suffers is a football to the groin. Unusually for this trope, it's realistically portrayed as just as painful for a female as it'd be for a male.
43	* HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight:
44	-->'''Baby Cakes:''' Making these videos is soooo insulting to my intelligence, but it'll ''all'' be worth it when the galaxy is under my control!
45	* HereWeGoAgain: After Wander and Sylvia leave after the battle with Little Bits goes viral, one of the town residents spots a turtle eating pancakes... and then ''it'' goes viral in their place.
46	* TheInternetIsForCats: Lil Bits attempts to conquer the galaxy by posting cute viral videos of herself.
47	* MindControlEyes: Wander and the citizens' eyes turn green when being hypnotized by the video.
48	* MissingTheGoodStuff: Wander is so enthralled by the cat videos he misses the jellyfish migration. Fortunately, he gets a second chance later.
49	* OverlyLongGag:
50	** Wander saying "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasseeeeeeeeee?"
51	** The end credits animatic has a single uninterrupted shot of the pancake-eating turtle as the residents all say "Ooh!" and "Ahh!" over and over.
52	* PuppyDogEyes: This is how Sylvia recognizes Lil Bits in her cat videos.
53	* ShoutOut:
54	** One of the "Baby Cakes" videos is a reference to the famous "Keyboard Cat", even including a SuspiciouslySimilarSong.
55	* TemptingFate: Right before deciding to go to the jellyfish migration, Sylvia asks, "What could go wrong?" Sure enough, Wander... wanders off.
