Recap / Clone High S3E08 "Cyranos: A Portmant-opus"

Go To

After Scudworth makes parent-principal night mandatory in order to raise money for Cloney Island, Confucius convinces JFK and Joan to go as his perpetually absent parents. However, Abe is forced to step in at the last minute despite having issues with Joan from the events of the previous episode. Meanwhile, Frida has Cleo institute a total personality change (under the tutelage of Harriet) before she meets Frida's dad for the first time.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Boob-Based Gag: Harriet suggests that Cleo get a push-under bra as part of her makeunder. It turns out that Cleo's current bra is actually one, as her breasts rise above her collar when it is taken off.
  • Continuity Nod: The "Makeunder" song reprises the melody from the "Makeover" song from "Makeover Makeover Makeover: The Makeover Episode".
  • Heh Heh, You Said "X": After finding out that Confucius' house is full of booby traps, JFK laughs at the mention of "booby".
  • Playing Cyrano: Harriet has a start-up called Cyranos, named for a Portmanteau of Cyrano and a documentary about Theranos, with an entire business model built around this trope. Their tagline is "Improving Lives by improv-ing lies". She offers to help Cleo impress Frida's father.
