[edit] Test of Time

While waiting for a school bus, Billy realises he hasn't studied for the history report. He refuses to go, thinking it must be some dream. After he realises it isn't, he asks Grim for a help. Grim gives him an Universal Remote Control which can control the time, so Billy can have all the time that he needs to finish the report.

However, Billy finds playing with the continuum much more fun. Mandy, who was at that point studing for that report, sees what Billy has got and take it. She uses it as a help for her history report, but as Billy finds American Revolution boring, he regains the controler and randomly takes them to the Stone Age. After some random time travelling, they end up in the future, and find 90-year-old Billy just finishing that same history report. Two Billies are occupied laughing their lungs off, and Mandy sees her chance to take the remote controler and get out from this nightmare.

At the end, Billy, Mandy and the future Billy fight over the Remote Controller and screw the reallity badly. Eventually, Billy ends up in the Stone Age with the broken controler. There he meets a cavewoman of his dreams and millions of years later, when the plot starts from the beggining, everyone is Billified. Nobody hasn't studied for the test, so Billy now doesn't need to worry much.

[edit] A Kick in the Asgard

Billy finds the joy of static electricity. While rubbing his feet on rugs, he shocks his cat, mom, and dad, until he gets kicked out of the house. While Mandy and Grim are on the sidewalk talking about beating up leprechauns, Billy exacts shocks Grim and grabs his scythe. Thunder hits the scythe and Billy is transported to Asgard, a sector of the Underworld. Also, scythe summons a Norse warrior from Asgard for an exchange. Grim and Mandy now search the Underworld to find Billy.

[edit] Trivia

In order to meet Wikipedia's quality standards, this article's trivia section requires cleanup.
Content in the trivia section should be integrated into other appropriate areas of the article.
  • The "Vikings" are supposed to be Norse, but at the entrance of the root beer fountain, the sign says: "Poort bewaarder" (Portbewaarder), which is a literal Dutch translation for "Gatekeeper" (in proper Dutch would be: poortwachter). When the Viking comes through the portal from the other dimension, he also says: waar ben ik? which is Dutch for where am I?.
  • According to the real Norse mythology, Asgard is not part of the Underworld. In fact, Asgard (the realm of the good gods, or Æsir, where warriors who died bravely feast and fight eternally in Odin's hall, Valhalla) and Niflheim (the underworld realm of the ignoble dead) are but two of the nine divisions of the Norse universe. Odin also claims that Loki left one of his eyes blind with a slingshot in this episode. In the Norse mythology, he lost his left eye sacrificing it for a drink of wisdom from Mimir's well.
  • The credits is a parody of the closing scene of Conan the Barbarian.
  • A Kick In The Asgard is a twist of the phrase, "A kick in the ass".
  • In Test of Time, the running gag is that Billy thinks the cavemen he and Mandy encounter in the Stone Age are monkeys.
