Recap / Fanboy And Chum Chum S 1 E 4 Dollar Day

Go To

Fanboy and Chum Chum each want a Frosty Freezy Freeze, but when Chum Chum spends their last dollar, they scramble to find a way to pay for their drinks.


Tropes:

  • Accidental Theft: Fanboy and Chum Chum go to the Frosty Mart to buy Frosty Freezy Freeze for one dollar, but Chum Chum spends their last dollar on an arcade machine right as they are supposed to make their payment. The duo are horrified by the thought of becoming "stealers" and spend the episode trying to find a way to pay. Luckily for them, a robot from the future that Fanboy mentioned wanting to build earlier in the episode arrives with a dollar to pay for the Frosty Freezy Freeze.
  • Big "NO!" Fanboy says it as Chum Chum spends their only dollar on the Chimp Chomp machine.
  • Bottle Episode: Aside from the opening scene, the whole episode is set within and nearby the Frosty Mart.
  • Brick Joke:
    • At the beginning, Fanboy talks about creating a Do-Anything Robot that makes burritos, display video games and function as a pinata; guess who comes to help pay for the drinks at the end?
    • At the beginning, Fanboy abruptly stops while walking which causes his brain to fall out. Later in the episode when he and Chum Chum are trying to come up with a way to get a dollar, he shouts "We've got to THINK!". Chum Chum then leaves the screen for a second and comes back with Fanboy's brain and puts it back in his head.
  • Second Episode Introduction: The first appearance of Lenny and Boog, as well as the first production order appearance of Oz (his first aired appearance was the next episode).
