Beyond the Thundermonkey Dome
The Warrior Monkey returns with wedgies for all the kids in the hood! And that stinks, but not as much as Thor's diaper, which Milo must change, and soon, before it, like, explodes. How will the Captain save the day?
Tropes in this episode:
- Caught in a Snare: Milo attempts to trap the Warrior Monkey by tying his grandmother's undies to a flagpole so when he sees it, he will pull the string and trap him. But since Thor really wants the undies badly despite not being his which Lizbeth tries to catch him, it lead to her being caught in the snare rather than the Warrior Monkey.
- Chekhov's Gun / The Diaper Change: Milo has to change Thor's dirty diaper as instructed by his mother, which he eventually does near the end of the episode and throws out the dirty one into the Warrior Monkey's tail, causing him to run away from the smell.
- Didn't Think This Through:
- To stop the Warrior Monkey from wedgie-ing all of the kids, Milo uses his itching powder to make the Warrior Monkey scratch himself to prevent him from wedgie-ing. However, just when he traps him with his silly string, he then ties Milo into a merry-go-round and starts spinning it, causing the powder to fly out, landing on a kid and starts scratching himself, leading to the Warrior Monkey to give him a wedgie.
- As the Warrior Monkey used to be an organ grinder's monkey, it could mean that his super weakness is music, so Milo gives Thor a jack-in-a-box in order to try looking for something musical from his Power Pack. Just when Thor starts playing the jack-in-a-box, it starts making the Warrior Monkey start dancing, which a few little kids later joins him to start dancing. However, the jack-in-a-box pops out, causing the music to stop, leading the Warrior Monkey to also give them wedgies.
- After finding a giant pair of his grandmother's undies since after he and Thor lands in the laundry shoot, causing his Power Pack to be filled with laundry, Milo has an idea by tying the undies to a flagpole so when the Warrior Monkey sees it, he will pull the string so he can trap him. The plan didn't work out as due to Thor wanting to get the undies which Lizbeth tries to catch him, it lead to her being caught in the snare rather than the Warrior Monkey.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Sanjay and Tabitha both make cameo appearances when Milo saw that multiple kids were being wedgied by the Warrior Monkey, before being properly introduced in "Run Milo Run" and "Appointment Terror!" respectively.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Tabitha originally had no glasses during her brief cameo appearance. When she properly made her debut in "Appointment Terror!", she now gains glasses.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Milo realizes that he still didn't change Thor's diaper so he decided to do just that, and throws out his dirty diaper into the Warrior Monkey's tail, causing him to smell the horrible stench and starts running away. Just when he lands on a playground rocket ship, he realized that the smell was coming from his tail so he uses his monocle to check the diaper, but the mirror from the sun, causes it to hit the unstable poop from the diaper, eventually exploding the rocket into space.
- Here We Go Again!: Shortly after the Warrior Monkey flew up to space as a result of the unstable poop from Thor's stinky diaper exploding which lead to the playground rocket ship to blast off, although he is now unable to continue giving kids wedgies, he is still able to give an astronaut a wedgie in space.Astronaut: Mission control: We have a wedgie problem!
- Mind-Control Music: Since the Warrior Monkey used to be a organ grindor's monkey, music could be his only weakness. Just after Milo gives Thor a jack-in-the-box to play with while he tries to find something musical from his Power Pack, the music makes him hypnotic and starts dancing which led to a couple of little kids joining in shortly after. However, after the jack-in-the-box pops, the music stops and is no longer hypnotic, leading for him to give out wedgies to them.
- Organ Grinder: During his backstory, the Warrior Monkey becomes this shortly after an organ grinder bought him since Rutger sold him back to the pet store at the end of "Pancake Panic", which forced him to wear a humiliating hat and start dancing continually, which led to his revenge against little kids by wedging all of them so he can make a giant flag full of little kid undies for the entire world to see.
- Stock Audio Clip: Rutger's "Uh-oh! Flamingo!" call from "Pancake Panic" was reused here.
- Stock Footage: The same panorama shot of multiple kids getting wedgied at the playground was reused three times in this episode.
- Wedgie: The Warrior Monkey spends the entire episode giving all the kids in the neighborhood wedgies.
Gum Control
Right when Milo's in the middle of a Space Slacker card trade with Wendell, Kirsten pops the biggest bubblegum bubble ever all over her face! And stuff's like, sticking to it! And not just bugs and dandelion fluff - cats and bushes and school buses, too! Can the Captain save Kirsten and wow his heroes, the Space Slackers, at the same time?
Tropes in this episode:
- Bookends: Milo is seen trading off his clothes in order to trade his Space Slacker cards with Wendell for the rarest card of all at the beginning of the episode but however, Wendell decides that the trade is off. At the end, Milo decides to deal with Wendell again to trade off his Space Slacker cards with his clothes this time, which he accepts but he will only keep the newly-issued collectible card featuring him and the slackers.
- Bubblegum Popping: This happens to Kirsten after blowing a huge bubble, leaving her face stuck with popped gum.
- Chasing a Butterfly: Kirsten follows a butterfly shortly after popping a huge bubblegum bubble, causing a lot of stuff such as cats, bushes, and even humans to get stuck on her while chasing it.
- Didn't Think This Through:
- Due to the problems multiplying as a result of Kirsten collecting stuff with her gum-covered face around the neighborhood, Milo uses his Einstein bobblehead as he thinks that the problem will be solved with math. However, the bobblehead only nods his head down meaning he will answer "yes" every time you ask him a question which wastes time.
- Milo then fills a water balloon with a lot of water so he can slingshot it to Kirsten to get rid of the stuff stuck on her gum-covered face. The water balloon indeed got rid of everything on Kirsten... except for her gum-covered face, causing the plan to backfire.
- Milo uses a toilet plunger to plunge the gum off of Kirsten, so he decides to run far away in order for all of the gum to completely come off after it hits her. However, due to him unable to reach the limit to go even farther, the plunger then slams back all the way back the park and hits Kirsten's head, which still didn't get her gum out of her face.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Milo decides to call the real Space Slackers in person to try to get rid of the gum stuck on Kirsten's face. However, she suggests for the Captain to find a way to get it off, which lead to him taking her to the hockey rink in order to stay away from the slackers. Although Milo tells her to not move while he thinks of a solution, she accidentally slips into the rink during a hockey game, causing all of the hockey pucks to get stuck on a her gum-covered face, but eventually, the gum freezes over and breaks, finally freeing her from the gum. When the slackers later returned at the rink so they can use scrapers to get the gum out, she tells them that she already got it off thanks to the Captain, which led to them leaving her alone.
- Moose and Maple Syrup: During the hockey rink scene, the rink has the Canadian flag hanging over in the background.
- Stock Audio Clip: The same audio of Kirsten's "Uh-oh! Flamingo!" call was used twice when Milo was in the middle of trading his Space Slacker cards to Wendell.
- Vocal Evolution: Kirsten sounded plain and normal in this episode unlike all of her other appearances (due to being voiced by Vanessa Thompson, an actual child actor).
- Water Guns and Balloons: One of Milo's failed solutions to get the gum out of Kirsten's face was to fill up a water balloon with lots of water so he can slingshot it to her to get rid of not just the gum, but also the stuff that her gum-covered face has collected. The water balloon indeed got rid of everything on Kirsten... except for her gum-covered face, causing this plan to backfire.
