Go To

Victor and Anita have to rescue a satellite that Professor Professor deems important from an island within the Bermuda Trapezoid (dun dun dun...) that's run by intelligent pigs. Meanwhile, Doctor Doctor also seeks to get her hands on the satellite.

Changed Daily's Name: Honda van Lampgurgle

Secret Tropes uncovered:

  • Big "NO!": Professor Professor yells this out when Victor and Anita have to let go of the satellite.
  • The Chief's Daughter: Porka-Worka is the daughter of the island leader. Victor and Doctor Doctor have to fight in order to get her hand in marriage.
  • Civilized Animal: The island is run by pigs that are bipedal, wear clothes, and act like humans. However, they don't speak English, which means Professor Professor has to translate what they're saying.
  • Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: Victor and Anita and Doctor Doctor have a dance-off to win the trust of the island's leader. The choice of music for the U.Z.Z. side is literally the show's theme tune.
  • Left the Background Music On: Omnious music plays every time someone mentions the Bermuda Trapezoid. A band is revealed to be doing it when Victor asks them if they're going to do that every time someone says "Bermuda Trapezoid." And yes, they do repeat it after Victor asks the question.
  • Once an Episode: Changed Daily's name of the day is Honda van Lampgurgle.
  • Pig Man: The islanders are descendants of pigs that were mysteriously stranded on the island a century ago.
  • Running Gag: Ominous music will play every time the words "Bermuda Trapezoid" are spoken.
