Recap / Carl S 2 E 6 Toad Town Grammar

Go To

Blooper moves to a school for Toads, leaving the rest of the group feeling incomplete.

Tropes

  • Adaptational Villainy: Taken up to eleven with Toadette. In the games, she is one of the sweetest characters you could ever meet. Here, however, she's a vain, arrogant girl who has a burning hatred for the Koopas.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Toadette manages to slice off Carl's arm during their fight. Fortunately, it somehow returns to him after she is shot by Calvin.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Just as Toadette is about to kill Carl, Calvin suddenly shoots her in the chest with a Bill Blaster.
    Calvin: Take that, toad scum!
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Due to being a ghost, Boo is easily able to kill Quentin during their lightsaber duel. However, he is disappointed by how easy it is.
    Boo: Aw, that was too easy! Being dead sucks!
  • Evil Sounds Raspy: Archer, one of Toadette's closest friends, is constantly speaking with a deep, growly voice.
  • Fantastic Racism: Toadette and her group have an intense hatred for the Koopas.
  • Human Popsicle: Or Squid popsicle in this case as Blooper ends up being cryogenically frozen after he is found out talking to Grace and Roxanne.
  • No Sympathy: When Carl is worrying that Blooper doesn't want to hang out with him anymore, Calvin is less than concerned.
    Carl: Blooper's moved to a different school, and now it feels like he doesn't wanna hang out with me anymore.
    Calvin: The squid? Good, I hated him anyway! Kids that age are too old for sci-fi programmes!
  • Off with His Head!: During the lightsaber duel between Peter and Dry Bones, Peter manages to decapitate Dry Bones. Unfortunately for him, since Dry Bones is a skeleton, it doesn't stick as Dry Bones' head drops back onto his body and allows him to instantly return the favor.
  • Oh, Crap!: Quentin has this reaction when his lightsaber harmlessly passes through Boo, thus easily allowing the latter to kill his opponent.
  • The Password Is Always "Swordfish": To get into Toad Town Grammar, you need to know the password, which happens to be "Steelix is an Asshole!"
  • Pet the Dog: Calvin saves Carl from being killed by Toadette.
  • Rousing Speech: Carl gives one of these to Boo and Dry Bones when he decides that they need to rescue him from Toad Town Grammar.
  • Say My Name: Blooper shouts out the names of his friends after he is rescued by them.
  • Synthetic Voice Actor: The computer that Carl and his friends have to say the password to is voiced by Microsoft Sam.
