A villainous half-man, half-baby named Mr. B gives the Kids Next Door a television series of their own.
Original air date: 1/24/2003
Now loading tropes:
- Bad "Bad Acting":Mr. B: Hey, girl-kid! Don't just stand there. Read your lines.
Numbuh 3: (In a very stilted tone) Oh no, It's Homeworko. The robot who doesn't want kids to do their homework. And he's about to... knock me out with one of his terrifying claws. - Berserk Button: Despite looking and dressing like one (sans the suit), Mr. B hates the word "baby", regardless of whether the phrase is used towards him or not.
- The Diaper Change: After going into a short tantrum about being called a baby by the KND, Mr. B accidentally wets himself. His client (and mother) proceeds to change him in front of the KND as they introduce themselves.
- Foreshadowing: See Sequel Hook below.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Or rather "Karma-Guided Laser". For using the KND's satellite for nefarious purposes, the KND trick Mr. B into standing in the path of his baby ray and becoming a real baby (mentally as well as physically).
- Mirrors Reflect Everything: Numbuh 1 uses his sunglasses (which are like mirrors if you wanna get technical) to reflect Mr. B's baby ray.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Numbuh 1 finds nothing good about an age-changing cigar and chucks it outside and into the hands of the DCFDTL instead of keeping it in the treehouse for safe-keeping. Let's just say that this really bites him in the ass.
- Only One Finds It Fun: Numbuh 3 seems to be the only one enjoying performing.
- Only Sane Man: Numbuh Four was against the idea of the TV show from the beginning and was the first to storm off the set.
- Potty Failure: Mr. B gets so angry that he... uh...Mr. B: I have had it with you stu-
[sloshing noise is heard]
Mr. B: Ohh, now look what you've done, you made me wet myself!
[Sector V stares in astonishment/disgust] - Pre-Mortem One-Liner:Mr. B: I... AM... NOT... A... BABY!!
Numbuh 1: You are now.
[Mr. B is hit with his baby-fying ray] - Raise Him Right This Time: Once Mr. B is changed into a real baby by his own baby ray, the KND are at a loss of what to do with him. His clients (who are really his mother and father) tell the kids they'll take it from here and decide they'll use the opportunity to bring up their son to be a nicer person this time around.
- Sequel Hook: Numbuh 1 decides the age-changing device is of no concern and tosses it out the window. But when the DCFDTL pick up the device and laugh ominously, it sets up the season 1 finale.
- Taken During the Ending: After stopping Mr. B from turning everyone into babies using his Age Cigar, Numbuh One takes the cigar and throws it out the window, believing it's no concern to them. Unfortunately, the Delightful Children From Down The Lane find the cigar on the ground, pick it up and start laughing evilly once it's in their hands.
- Tempting Fate: Numbuh 1 questions who would want an age changing device and tosses it to the window. Let's just say he’s going to regret this in a few episodes.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: It seems the people working under Mr. B try to take his being a baby as best they can. The KND are more than a little confused, though Numbuh Five seems to take it in stride ("Check it out, a talking baby.").
