Time to make a bittersweet Robotboy review this time.
15. I Want That Toy.
Written by: Andrew Rheingold.
Aired: UK: 10 November 2005. US: 25 February 2006.
When Kamikazi opens a toy store to attract Tommy and Gus, Tommy is falsely caught for stealing a robot toy (Robotboy). Robotboy is left inside the store for Kamikazi to snatch. After being helped out by Gus and Lola, Tommy arrives at the toy store and gets Robotboy back. Kamikazi is defeated and the episode ends.
Ah, Tommy and Gus watching The Human Fist.
Tommy has stolen a toy?
Ha! Dwight and Deb have been wet!
Now Lola and Goose are ninjas.
So Kamikazi has a remote control to control Robotboy?
Gus is upset that his buttkisser is dead?
Welcome to the first Robotboy episode with major plotholes, Brobotboys. Alright, first of all, how did the security of the toy shop get Tommy Turnbull's phone number? Second, how did Doctor Kamikazi and Constantine know the ad would attract Robotboy? Third, why would Gus be attracted to a weak talking toy like that? Though I did get good chuckles from Kamikazi and Constantine's stupid moments.
This is my least favourite of Season 1 and I feel it could have had more effort put into it. A lot more.
My rating: 4/10.
16. Sweet Revenge.
Written by: Robert Mittenthal and Michael Rubiner.
Aired: UK: 10 November 2005. US: 25 February 2006.
After a terrible accident Tommy is sent together with his family and Gus to the city's hospital to check his injure. When Gus grabs the candy, Robotboy wanted some and ate some. This made him malfunction and into Kamikazi's hands. Gus shoots Kamikazi's hot air balloon down, and Robotboy is cleaned and defeats Kamikazi.
Hmm...could Donnie have been responsible for Tommy's lump?
Donnie in a wheelchair!
Gus really wants that sweet sweet confectionery.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, anyone?
Cute! So cute!
Gus finally got the confectionery!
Alright, for those of you who think this Kazi-Crunch bar is made of chocolate, it's not chocolate. It's just ordinary confectionery. Confectionery=sugar=dissolves in water. And this is why you don't put confectionery into machinery.
Another cute moment.
Yep, this is one brilliant episode! We get to see Gus further prove himself to be a goose, and we get a cute moment with Lola and Tommy. Not to mention that delicious Kazi-Crunch bar. This is among my favourites of Season 1. Hmm...could go for a Kazi-Crunch bar right now.
My rating: 10/10.
Final thoughts:
Who would have known? A meh episode and a fantastic episode put together! Tommy getting Robotboy confiscated for no reason, and Gus being the typical goose he is as well as dying for the Kazi-Crunch bar. This is still a full decent episode.
Episode rating: 7/10.
