The Angry Beavers E 24 You Promised

Go To

A race that the Beavers have ends in a tie. The prize is supposed to be a "Lickety Split" treat, so Norb tricks Dag into handing over the prize in return for doing whatever Dag tells him, for one whole day, a year from now. Dag accepts, and one year later, Dag remembers the promise (because he wrote a reminder on his underwater eyelids), much to Norb's surprise and horror.


Tropes featured in this episode:

  • Blatant Lies: Norb takes advantage of Dag's order to act "like a farm animal". Norb acts like a bull and starts ramming Dag in the air. Dag yells, "I command you to stop!" Norb rams him again. When Dag lands back on the ground he exclaims, "You just went back on your promise!" Norb's response? "No, I didn't. I even said okee-dokee, Daggy!"
  • Deliberately Painful Clothing: Dag makes Norb take Super Solemn Beaver Promise, which, if broken, the perpetrator would be banished to the top of the highest mountain and made to wear an itchy sweater.
  • Exact Words: Norb's promise to Dagget was that he would do anything Dagget wanted for one whole day. During their "Lickety Split" race rematch where Dagget ordered Norb to lose, the clock stroke midnight, freeing Norb of the promise.
  • Felony Misdemeanor: Some of the things Dag orders Norb to do are just stupid and meaningless
  • Furry Reminder: Dag wrote a reminder of the promise that Norb gave him on the second pair of eyelids that all beavers have (which they use to see clearly underwater).
  • Out-Gambitted: To be fair, it wasn't much of a gambit to begin with, as Norb was merely relying on Dag's stupidity and forgetfulness. He didn't count on Dag writing a reminder down!
  • Reverse Psychology: Norb attempts to act like he really wants to do everything Dag orders him to do, in an attempt to creep Dag out, and get out of the promise. It works for awhile, until Dag sees through him.
  • Wager Slave: Norb is forced to do Daggett's bidding for a day thanks to a Super-Solemn Beaver Promise he made.
