Recap / Numberjacks S 1 E 5 One More Time

Go To

This episode provides examples of

  • Brainy Baby: One is only a one-year-old, yet she understands the concept of "one more" and "one less".
  • Contrived Coincidence: The four that Four lands on just happens to be on the toy train.
  • Dissonant Serenity: The man in the suit is completely unfazed by an anthropomorphic number jumping out at him, and his response to having a doppelganger isn't to wonder what the heck's going on, but simply to get peeved.
  • Expendable Clone: The man's doppelganger is sent away without fanfare.
  • Me's a Crowd: Five imagines a bird being cloned indefinitely.
  • No Antagonist: This episode's conflict isn't caused by a Meanie, but rather by One, who is just a clueless baby.
  • Non-Indicative Name: When Four turned into a 5 and a 6, he kept his name.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: When the man gets cloned, the two begin to argue.
  • Sizeshifter: Notably this is the first instance of a Numberjack changing size, which Three points out.
  • Straying Baby: One escaped from the sofa and caused the conflict.
  • Subverted Catchphrase: For some reason, Five says that "almost anything could happen" instead of her usual "anything could happen".
  • What the Hell, Hero?: When One is bought home, Six scolds her for causing the problem, calling her 'a bit of a nuisance'.
