She's back with another review, her name is Lily, and she's ready to tear this episode to shreds! Seriously though, these episodes are so bad. What happened to this show I once loved back in the day...
The first episode in this pairing, Let's Break a Deal, is Time Trap levels of jumping the shark. Thankfully, this episode is better than Time Trap but only because it's 11 minutes instead of a bloody 22 minute special that aired on my birthday. From the start to end it is absolutely insufferable. For one, this episode stars another character from the Morticians Club. After What Lies Beneath? Yeah, this is sure to go well. Well, it starts off thankfully just like any other episode, it can only go down from here. When Rusty runs into Morpheus, they make a deal for Rusty to get good at a dance game... but in exchange Morpheus wants "a favor". This is exactly how he says it, just "a favor". Why leave him in suspense as to what it is in real episode logic? Are you trying to put him off the edge?
He goes around casting spells for Rusty with "cOmEdIc" effects as a result. However, this Harry Potter ripoff wants Rusty's hair in exchange for the 3 or so sentences he read out to cause things to happen. When Rusty understandably says no, Morpheus goes around casting spells on Rusty like a psychopath, with a scary laugh and all.
After this part when he goes on his date with Amber, it seems like he has rightfully gotten the point. But no, we just have to hammer in the fact that Rusty did a bad thing and for some reason tortures both Rusty and his date when Amber didn't even do anything. It wasn't even her fault that she fell in love with Rusty. After she gets trapped in a freaking claw machine, Amber's 1 brain cell thinks that Rusty's the one doing all this, making me feel even more sorry for him. What? You expect me to be against this man all because he didn't want to give this creepy kid his hair?
But of course, we have to end the episode in a "funny" way. Rusty shaves off all his hair when Harry Potter only needed one strand, saying "what's the fun in that?" referring to Rusty asking why he didn't just say that. Ok writers, We GET IT. Rusty's in the wrong and that kid that can easily mind control the whole planet is the good guy. It ends with Rusty not getting the girl and no hair... but still happy because he got a giraffe. What a cheap way to make everyone happy in the end. I hope the 7 year olds take what you want from this episode. Everything's cupcakes and rainbows, right?
1/10. This episode is such a piece of trash. Makes no sense, flawed writing, everything you could ask for in a bad season 7 episode. Half of these episodes in this season could easily qualify for my worst cartoon episodes list, shaking my head.
A Dish Come True... where do I start with this absolute trainwreck. I don't know if this will be a hot take, but this is one of the worst episodes in the show and the worst episode of season 7. Before you put up your pitchforks, I have my reasons. Have you guys ever wanted to see what Attention Deficit + Cooked + Brawl in the Family + Out on a Limo would be like? No? WELL TOO BAD because this episode takes elements from all of these episodes and makes one of the least enjoyable things I've ever watched since "Captain Underpants and the Dastardly Deeds of the Devious Diddlysaurus".
All throughout this episode I was in a bad mood. It starts off just like episodes such as Much Ado About Noshing and Dine and Bash (both 1/10 episodes as well) but do not be fooled, this is the least annoying thing in this episode. Very conveniently Lincoln hears about the "employee of the month" that Lynn is hosting and whoever wins gets a dish named after him. This is where Out a Limo comes in, Lincoln is a little demon and a kiss up throughout the entire episode. He starts off fine, being only a kiss up by taking all the dishes at once and accidentally destroying them (similar to DW from Arthur) or by taking all of the tables. The other employees seemingly have it out for him by their faces, knowing "he has a plan", which is a weird thing to assume knowing he hasn't used the man with the plan schtick since like last season or so.
Here is where Attention Deficit comes in, as Lana snoops on Lincoln talking to Clyde about winning the contest... which leads to Luan, Luna, and Lynn Jr. Also overhearing it when asking Lana what she's doing. So then they all start working and the Cooked part of this episode comes in, because then Lincoln the little demon child starts sabotaging them and then they all get in on it. WHICH LEADS TO A FOOD FIGHT and where Brawl in the Family comes in. Also, the reason they started sabotaging each other was because Lynn Sr. Left... which he immediately blames the only two people with slight intelligence for causing the fight. The two adults? Oh yeah, they totally started it, not your 5 children who are known to break out into fights regularly.
So the episode goes to a cheap little apology and they make both Grant and Kataro the employee of the month... who the heck could've seen that coming? If this isn't one of the most predictable shows ever, oh my gosh. The episode also ends on a really bad joke about an animal just like Cooked and Much Ado About Noshing... thanks for reminding me, I need to go cry.
This is so obviously a 1/10. I really hope people hear me out when I say this genuinely is one of the worst episodes in the series. Maybe check out my Captain Underpants reviews if you have a minute...? And as always, thanks for reading.
