12 | |
13 | Bimbo and Koko are mixing up potions in a lab with crazy results. Their work is interrupted when they spot in a nearby penthouse, swimsuit-clad Betty Boop tending to her garden. Unfortunately, their gawking is also interrupted when a concoction in their lab creates a [[FrankensteinsMonster monster]] that sets its sights on Betty. |
14 | ---- |
15 | !!Tropes Used in This Short: |
16 | |
17 | * AshFace: One concoction ashes up Koko's whole face, resulting in... |
18 | * BlackFace: Koko removes the burnt layer that enveloped his face like it was a mask, then the face yells out, "{{Mammy}}!" to Koko's annoyance. |
19 | * BonesDoNotBelongThere: Upon seeing the monster, a pair of flowers jump out of their... skin(?) and leave behind two flower skeletons. |
20 | * ElectricSlide: The monster walks on a pair of telephone wires to get to Betty and continues going even after Bimbo and Koko cut the wires; surprisingly, no one gets shocked. |
21 | * EvilLivingFlames: One is placed under the potion that would spawn the monster and animates in order to light a cigar with a match. It somehow ends up burning its finger. |
22 | * ExplosiveResults: The cartoon opens with Bimbo and Koko exploded out of their laboratory due to their chemistry mixtures. |
23 | * {{Fanservice}}: Betty spends the entire short in a skimpy swimsuit. |
24 | * ForcedTransformation: A cat accidentally drinks one of Bimbo's concoctions and has its head transform into an ape, a lion and a dragon before changing back to normal. |
25 | -->'''Cat:''' Gee, that's good stuff. |
26 | ** The monster is also forcibly transformed into a flower at the end, but seemed perfectly content in it's new form. |
27 | * FrankensteinsMonster: The monster born from the potion looks like a caricature of the monster from ''Film/{{Frankenstein|1931}}''. Upon seeing it, Bimbo even yells out, "It's alive!" |
28 | * FurIsClothing: Upon seeing the monster, a bird flies out of its feathers as if they were a coat. |
29 | * GravityIsAHarshMistress: Even after Bimbo and Koko cut the power lines that the monster was walking on, it still continues walking in the air. |
30 | * {{Hammerspace}}: Koko absorbs some liquid into an eyedropper and it gets dispersed as two huge drops that fill up two jugs big enough for a water cooler. |
31 | * ImagineSpot: Koko imagines himself getting a kiss from Betty in a thought bubble; Bimbo pops it. |
32 | * LivingClothes: Betty's lingerie and stockings, upon seeing the monster, stack one over the other as if someone was wearing them and walks away. |
33 | * MickeyMousing: The monster doesn't speak but has horns from the music in the background go off at the same time that it roars. |
34 | * OrganicTechnology: Bimbo and Koko use a bird as a pair of shears to cut the wire the monster was walking on. |
35 | * OutdoorBathPeeping: Bimbo and Koko spy on Betty on her penthouse roof taking a shower using a water hose; of course, she's still wearing a swimsuit. |
36 | * ReflectiveEyes: When the monster looks out the window, Betty's image appears in the monster's eyes. |
37 | * StrippedToTheBone: A potion Koko drinks creates a fire that strips his whole body from the neck down into bones, then oddly enough, it immediately reverses itself with Koko being perfectly okay. |
