An ancient pair of clown's trousers are capable of absorbing physical matter every thirty million years. Victor and Anita try to find them before Doctor Doctor can use them for evil.
Changed Daily's Name: Fudgy Burtles
Secret Tropes uncovered:
- And I Must Scream: The episode ends with Anita tricking Doctor Doctor into sucking the entire universe into the Trousers of Doom. Since Doctor Doctor happens to be wearing them at the time, she's forced to float through the void all alone where no one can hear her. She's also unable to use the pants on herself.
- Artifact of Doom: A pair of clown's trousers is granted incredible power once the stars align every 30 million years. These trousers are responsible for the disappearances of the dinosaurs and Atlantis. Doctor Doctor plans to use them for evil.
- Artifact of Power: The Vest of Enlightenment is supposed to enlighten anyone who wears it. Victor has to wear it for part of the episode, mostly due to the vest fusing itself to him.
- The Bad Guy Wins: Subverted. While Doctor Doctor does manage to get her hands on the Trousers of Doom and use them for evil, it doesn't take long before she's tricked into sucking the universe into them.
- Chekhov's Gun: The oldest man in the world asks "Is not the cheesecake still a cheesecake after it has been consumed by the ox?" Anita figures out how to defeat Doctor Doctor after hearing that.
- Clingy Costume: Victor ends up having the Vest of Enlightenment fused to him for part of the episode. The vest eventually disappears after Anita tricks Doctor Doctor into sucking the entire universe into the Trousers of Doom.
- Dem Bones: At the beginning of the episode, a skeleton comes to life after Victor steals the Vest of Enlightenment off it and tries to trap him for all eternity.
- Ice-Cream Koan: Subverted. The saying "Is not the cheesecake still a cheesecake after it has been consumed by the ox?" turns out to actually be a plot point. Anita interprets it to mean that everything can be restored to normal by tricking Doctor Doctor into sucking everything into the trousers.
- Mundane Utility: The trousers are found being used by a birthday clown for a party trick.
- Oh, Crap!: Doctor Doctor gets one of these when she realizes she's just been tricked into sucking the entire universe into the Trousers of Doom.
- Once an Episode: Changed Daily's name of the day is Fudgy Burtles.
- Pocket Dimension: Anything that gets sucked into the Trousers of Doom ends up in a pocket dimension. Things are made somewhat better when the universe is sucked in as well.
- Phlebotinum Killed the Dinosaurs: The dinosaurs never went extinct. Instead, they were all sucked into the trousers. Because everything is sucked into the trousers at the end, they're back on Earth again.
- Split-Screen Phone Call: A scene employs this with a phone conversation between Anita and Doctor Doctor, but the split screens move around each other.
