Recap / Foxy's Family E16 "Do as I Say Not as I Do"

Go To

Airdate: June 29, 2018

Fang loses cool and hits Foxina, in a fit of rage, after she plays with a drone he told her not to touch.


Tropes:

  • Berserk Button: For Fang. Do not touch his drone or mess with R2-D2 or he will put in a incredibly bad mood at the point of hitting you.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: When Fang's anger is justified, hitting Foxina and Todd would very much qualify.
  • The Dog Bites Back: After being constantly harassed by Foxina, culminating in the destruction of his drone, Fang finally punches her in a fit of rage.
  • Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: Foxina complains to Fang that he didn't build his drone correctly, as it doesn't fly at all. Fang starts explaining that he built it properly, then realizes with horror what she had done.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Fang puts up with Foxina constantly pestering him over his drone, and when she flys the drone into the wall, he only gets slightly mad. But when she keeps explaining that he built it wrong (instead of apologizing for what she did), he outright snaps and punches her.
  • Talk to the Fist: Played for Drama and Deconstructed. When Foxina has her Never My Fault speech over the drone being destroyed, Fang punches her straight in the arm, only to get himself grounded for this act. This happens again when Todd has his Never My Fault speech R2-D2 and he punches him straight in the arm.
  • Whole-Plot Reference: This episode's plot is a reference to the Arthur episode "Arthur's Big Hit".
  • You Are Grounded!: After Fang punches Foxina and he refuses to apologize for it, their parents ban him from watching TV for the rest of the day and the next day.
