When the friends win a squeaking rubber elephant at the Game Hive Arcade, Bloo's obsession with it - mostly for it's squeaking - goes too far and he ends up breaking it. And now he's got to win the tickets to get a new one and replace the damage one. Will Bloo be able to get enough tickets in time?
What'ya think? This is Bloo we're talking about.
Tropes:
- Brick Joke: Bloo tries to intimidate Frankie by hissing, but it fails to work, with him griping that it would if he had the glow-in-the-dark Dracula teeth. Later, he tries the same trick against a little girl he lost a skee-ball game to, this time with the teeth, but it fails just as badly as last time, with the girl punching him in the face and taking the fangs and the replacement elephant.
- Broken Treasure: The pink rubber elephant. But it turns out it's very cheap as Mac bought a new one at the dollar store.
- Chekhov's Gun: The glow-in-the-dark Dracula teeth. They are the original prize Bloo wants before the gang decides to get the rubber elephant instead. Bloo then selfishly purchases them instead of a replacement rubber elephant. When challenging the little girl to skee-ball for the elephant, Bloo wagers his Dracula Teeth, and as soon as he mentions their glow-in-the-dark feature she becomes interested in them enough to agree.
- Eat the Camera: Near the end where Bloo swallows a squeaking elephant from its point of view.
- Facecam: When Bloo dances with Baby Taco.
- Gilligan Cut: When Bloo loses a game of skee-ball to a little girl that won the squeaking rubber elephant - Bloo challenged her to a game of skee-ball, with the winner getting both her rubber elephant and his Dracula teeth - Bloo acts like a Graceful Loser and says that he's a man of his word... only for the cut to happen and show that he kept the teeth and instead snatched the elephant from the girl.
- Insane Troll Logic: Bloo insists on throwing his skee-balls instead of rolling them like they are meant to be, because he insists throwing is the new rolling. All this does is get him hurt and get him the lowest possible score. He never learns his lesson though, and ends up losing to a little girl at the game because she actually played it the right way.
- Not Helping Your Case: When Mac rightfully calls Bloo selfish for getting Dracula teeth instead of a new rubber elephant, Bloo tried to reason with Mac and give him his Dracula teeth, saying their his... when Bloo's done with them.Mac: I rest my case.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When Mac sees Bloo selfishly got Dracula teeth instead of a new elephant for his friends, Mac leaves in disgust and tells Bloo he's on his own.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: Bloo tries unsuccessfully to win a new elephant, first getting distracted by Dracula teeth and buying them with his tickets, then challenging a little girl to both their prizes when he finds out she won the last one. After trying unsuccessfully to keep both prizes for himself anyway and getting beaten up by the little girl, Mac decides it's not worth his time to wait for Bloo to learn his lesson and gives him a replacement elephant that he bought at the dollar store.
- Smug Snake: Bloo swaggers up to the prize counter and arrogantly behaves as though his single ticket is enough to buy any prize he wants—with leftover change! The man at the counter is not impressed and proceeds to casually knock the wind out of Bloo's sails.
- The Stinger: The credits show a loop of Bloo riding a Bee ride from Act 3.
- Troll:
- Mac does this to Bloo by purposely refusing to squeak the rubber elephant toy in front of Bloo, since he knows Bloo wants to hear it squeak, while taunting him he can do whatever he wants with it because it's his turn with it.
- Bloo takes the opposite approach during his turn, running around the house squeaking it nonstop to annoy everyone. He particularly likes torturing Eduardo with it by squeaking it in violent ways. Although it is likely that Bloo is doing this as payback towards Eduardo for taunting Bloo when he didn’t have his turn yet.
- Whack-a-Monster: One of the games at the Game Hive arcade is "Whack-A-Bee". When Eduardo gets frightened by the bees that pop out of the hive, he whacks them out of fear, earning himself a large amount of tickets as a result. When he cashes them in at the prize counter, he tells Coco "Si, it does pay to be a scaredy-cat."
