Episode Discussion: "Bloo Superdude"

["C" the Dragon]

I FINALLY saw the episode, and it's the BEST one I saw in Season 5!! And oh, man! I don't even know where to begin! Well, first off, the part when Frankie is using short tirms of what's happening and what to do was funny, and when Frankie showed a screenshot of the key to the "Magic Potato", Bloo just CRASED through the jail and tried to get the holographic key! Oh man, I laughed so hard! And the cheerleading part, OMG, I just wished that Wilt would wear that outfit again without the cape!! I spotted a whole lot of refrences, from the ones that I know to the ones that I don't! If you ask me, it's the best episode yet!!!!

Out of the four new episodes that aired, I watched this one last. (I was working through them backwards you see.)


I think it's always nice to see an animated program once in a while do something that deviates from the norm and gives itself an excuse to get away with things they normally would not be able to do in a regular episode.

Bloo Superdude.... was a shining example of everything an experimental episode should be.

Everything just clicked together and nothing seemed pointless or out of place, the myriad of pop culture gags actually helped to move the story along at a brisk pace rather then used as a way to pad things out while waiting for the next plot point to come up.

And it was also nice to see there was actual reasoning behind the way the story played out the way it did. It wasn't just, Bloo was bored so he randomly decides to make this story up as he goes along...blah blah blah, boring.

So all in all, this was another great episode, and that's all there is to it.

I DIED. XDDDDDD This episode is so terrible, and in the BEST WAY.

This just hit me...OK, not literally, but in a "why didn't I think of that earlier" way-I've been wracking my brain trying to recall what that opening scene from this episode reminded me of, with the Bloo Superdude riding through the desert on his "Hog", with that severed doll head dangling from the handlebars. My first inclination was the post-Apocalyptic world of Mad Max, but that still didn't seem accurate. Last night, in bed, my long-term memory finally kicked in, and I realized what that scene(the baby doll head especially)reminded me of. Anyone seen the Nick Cage/Holly Hunter movie, Raising Arizona? Remember the bounty hunter dude? He rode a big Harley, was huge and muscular(played by "Tex" Cobb), wore a sort of armor plated outfit, and had a severed doll head hanging from the bike's handlebars, just like Bloo!

Yeah I love that movie (great soundtrack too). The doll head made me think of it, although I wasn't sure if maybe Raising Arizona had borrowed that from some other, earlier movie. He had a pair of bronze baby shoes too right or am I thinking about another movie?

I'm gonna need to rent that movie, or buy it on DVD. I haven't seen it in several years, so my memory needs refreshing, but I'm pretty sure that it was a doll head, something rather macabre.

So, I finally saw this episode, and you guys are right. It's awesome. No the best of this season, and nothing made me laugh out loud per se, but I was thoughroughly amused the whole way through. What with Mac's reaction shots (priceless) and the constant "familiar, but seen through warped glass" feel to it, I found it really enjoyable. I feel the best part is how this is an episode that emphasises the "wrecklessly imaginative" side to Bloo's personality, as opposed to his simple "jerkish" side usually prominent.

Also, a Duchess cameo in the cantina scene. Yays!

The Bloo showboating scene was amusingly Cartman-esque.
