"Me Time": The wombats try to create the perfect 'Me Time.'


"Me Time" contains the following tropes:

  • Argument of Contradictions: Malik and Zadie both want a peach, and they go back and forth on whose it is.
  • Bookcase Passage: There's a bookcase in the Creation Station that, when a book is pulled, turns around and reveals Leiko's guitar.
  • Classical Music Is Cool: Malik's intellectual side is pushed further when he reveals that he likes classical music.
  • Feud Episode: Malik and Zadie keep fighting throughout the episode. First they argue over a peach, and then their activities interfere with one another.
  • Heroes Gone Fishing: This episode reveals that every day, Super takes a break from her work and does relaxing things.
  • I Call It "Vera": Leiko's guitar is named Penelope.
  • Out Of Control Popcorn: Mr. E got a new popcorn machine that won't stop popping popcorn, and calls Super to help with the problem.
  • Poke the Poodle: Malik drinking Zadie's veggie smoothie.
  • Rule of Three: There are three things that go into everyone's 'Me Time':
    • For Super, it is comfy clothes, listening to her favorite music, and taking apart a motorcycle.
    • For Duffy, it's doing calisthenics, making veggie smoothies, and staring at the clouds.
    • For Leiko, it's turning off the lights, wearing a denim jacket, and getting out her guitar 'Penelope.'
    • For Zadie, it's wading her feet in water, collecting leaves, and jumping into them.
    • For Malik, it's putting on classical music, tidying his desk, and coloring.
  • Something We Forgot: When Malik and Zadie learn about Me Time and go to create their own Me Times, they forget something important: Me Time is supposed to be done by yourself. That's why they kept annoying each other with their activities.
  • Sour Grapes: When Zadie's Me Time gets ruined, she says she didn't want to do it anyway.
  • Split Screen: Used when Malik and Zadie go their separate ways.
  • That Cloud Looks Like...: Malik points out a cloud shaped like a peach. This inadvertently re-triggers Zadie and Malik's peach argument after they forgot about it.

"Zadie and the Really Big, Really Loud Noisy Thing": Zadie wants to make lots of noise.

"Zadie and the Really Big, Really Loud Noisy Thing" contains the following tropes:

  • Bookcase Passage: Like in the above segment, Leiko's bookcase reveals something. In this case, it's a soundproof room for Zadie to make a lot of noise.
  • One-Man Band: Zadie's Really Big, Really Loud Noisy Thing enables her to play multiple instruments at once.
  • Public Domain Soundtrack: "Morning Mood," part of Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt, Op. 23, is heard when the wombats wake up.
  • Running Gag: Zadie's loud music startling everyone.
  • Verbal Backspace: When Zadie finds her Big, Loud, Noisy Thing, Super says she thought she threw it away, then backpedals and says she thought Zadie lost it.
