Go To

Professor Professor's hair threatens to cover the entire planet following an experiment gone wrong. U.Z.Z.'s only hope in reversing this is to have Victor and Anita retrieve the baldy gene from Professor Professor's identical twin brother Maestro.

Changed Daily's Name: Broccoli Spears

Secret Tropes uncovered:

  • Alleged Lookalikes: Professor Professor and Maestro are supposedly identical twins (and Professor Professor even claims as much), but they don't look all that identical apart from having the same head shape.
  • Continuity Nod: The Mayor of Helsinki and Robert Baron's son Bobby are shown attending Maestro's opera.
  • Concert Climax: Halfway through the episode, U.Z.Z. decide to stage Maestro's opera in order to lure him out and hopefully reverse Professor Professor's hair growth before it overruns the world. It works.
  • Creator Breakdown: In-Universe, Maestro was unable to finish the opera he'd been working on for years, so he ripped it to shreds and then ran away, presumably to never be seen again. He only comes out of hiding when U.Z.Z. stage his opera.
  • Lice Episode: It's not long before giant lice start showing up while Professor Professor's hair is growing out of control.
  • Once an Episode:
    • Sweet Little Granny is swept off by a flying carpet. Ray and the other U.Z.Z. agents then proceed to clear away the time-slot.
    • Changed Daily's name of the day is Broccoli Spears.
  • Screaming Woman: Frau Frau's cries tend to shake everything around her and even give way to avalanches.
  • Sibling Rivalry: One-sided on Maestro's end, as he was convinced for years that Frau Frau favored Professor Professor over him. When Maestro's come out of hiding, he's proven wrong when Frau Frau sings about not playing favorites with her children.
