[edit] Plots

[edit] The Wrongest Yard

Billy and Irwin are, yet again, abused by Sperg, so they come up with an idea: to join the Endsville football team in the hopes of not being beaten up by bullies anymore. As they practice, Irwin throws the ball far, leading the coach to keep him as his quarterback and have Billy as a training dummy. Meanwhile, Mindy is ousted from her spot as a cheerleader, being replaced by Mandy. Mindy begins to scheme to bring her down, with the help of her Carrie Ann trophy, leading to somewhat disastrous results.

[edit] Druid, Where's My Car?

Billy gets his kite stuck in a tree, and trying to take it back, throws a lot of things in the tree. These things include Mandy, and after no sucess he gives up and asks Grim for help. Grim tries, but his powers are useless due to there being too much nature in the tree. Grim says that this is a job for a druid, as "They are down with all that nature mumbo-jumbo, they can talk to trees." Billy and Grim ask Basil Terragon of The High Order of The Wilted Shrub for help. He agrees, but needs three druids for the ancient ritual. He teaches Billy and Grim druid skills and after the training, they perform Basils's ridiculous ritual with no results. Billy suggested using a chainsaw earlier. While Basil goes to obtain it, Grim and Billy meet Mandy who possesses the kite and various other items. She then states that the tree possesses no supernatural powers and they all leave. In the end, Basil enthusiastically cuts down the tree with the chainsaw, and the police arrest him. In the end, Billy finally finds his spirit animal--fried chicken.

  • The penguin sequence in Druid, Where's My Car? is a reference to a similar scene in the movie Fight Club.
  • Irwin & Mandy make a reference to Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Irwin says "Is it possible to learn this power?" Mandy then replies "Not from a Football Coach". In the movie, Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious tells Anakin about how a Sith Lord has the power of limited immortality, with Anakin replying "Is it possible to learn this power?" and Palpatine stating "Not from a Jedi". The sound of a lightsaber igniting can be heard afterwards. Soon after that, Irwin makes another Star Wars reference when he is hiking the ball. He says, "Hut-hut one, Hut-hut two, red hut, Jabba the Hutt." Which refers to the gangster Jabba the Hutt in Star Wars.
  • The girl on the right-side of the audience when Mindy becomes head cheerleader again resembles Princess from The Powerpuff Girls, with two red-head buns and a yellow shirt with a black stripe across it.

[edit] Goofs

  • Marks the second time Mindy has mistakenly been referred to as Cindy. The first time was by Billy in My Fair Mandy.

[edit] Miscellanea

  • Billy's spirit animal in the second episode, a (probably) cooked turkey, is a refrence to the domesticated turkey supposed as being the least intelligent animal on earth, and coincides with Billy's unintelligence.
  • Grim's spirit animal is a penguin, although he expected that it would be a Tyrannosaurus.
