A not-so fantastic voyage.
"It's what's inside that counts!"

Airdate: December 17, 2006

Sniffles shrinks down to microscopic size to help heal a sickly Giggles, but accidentally goes inside Lumpy.

"I've Got You Under My Skin" contains examples of:

  • Accidental Murder: Sniffles kills both Giggles and Lumpy by pure accident.
  • Bottle Episode: In a sense. The only main characters to appear in this episode are Sniffles, Giggles and Lumpy, and the majority of the episode takes place inside of Sniffle's house and Lumpy's body.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death:
    • Lumpy's entire head explodes after Sniffles' vessel enlarges inside of his nose.
    • Sniffles has his organs slowly ripped out by a silly straw and then has head split in half by a table.
  • "Everybody Dies" Ending: No one survives this episode.
  • Eye Scream: Sniffles manages to disconnect Lumpy's right optic nerve, blinding him in that eye. Humorously, this is shown in Lumpy's Impairment Shot as his right eye getting the Snowy Screen of Death.
  • "Fantastic Voyage" Plot: Sniffles invents a shrinking submarine to help get rid of Giggles' sickness. However, Lumpy's allergy causes Sniffles to enter his body instead.
  • Idiot Ball: Even though he created a vessel that can shrink in size, Sniffles acts irredeemably dumb in this episode as he carelessly destroys Lumpy's body from the inside without even realizing it.
  • Injured Self-Drag: While Sniffles is exiting his shrinking submarine, he accidentally steps on the shrinking knob, causing it to start shrinking with him halfway out and thus cutting him in half horizontally. Having lost his entire lower body, he tries to drag himself towards a first aid kit on a table. Unfortunately, he fails to notice Lumpy's silly straw falling on his intestine and pinning it to the floor, meaning that his organs get pulled out one by one as he drags himself closer to the table. To add insult to injury, when he finally reaches the table, he accidentally tips it over, causing it to fall on his head and split it in half moments before the first aid kit falls into his hand.
  • Karmic Death: Sniffles gets this in the end after he unknowingly tortures and kills Lumpy.
  • Made of Plasticine: Sniffles' head gets split in half by a table falling over.
  • Mutilation Conga: For Lumpy.
  • Self-Harm: Lumpy injures himself on purpose throughout the episode in attempts to get Sniffles out of his body.
  • Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Sniffles didn't have to create a vessel to go inside Giggles' infected body as she would've been cured by just laying down after a while. Too bad they all died before even noticing it.
  • Smart Ball: Despite dying a painful death in the end, Lumpy was notably pretty clever in this episode; for example tightening his leg in an attempt to restrict Sniffles to his leg and using the silly straw to give himself a makeshift tracheotomy so he can breathe. Unfortunately, Sniffles proves to be incredibly dumb in this episode.
  • They Killed Kenny Again: Lumpy, Giggles and Sniffles die in this episode.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: After spending the entire episode incredibly sick, Giggles is finally cured! Unfortunately Sniffles kills her by accident after his vessel grows back to normal size.
  • Your Head A-Splode: Happens to Lumpy during his death.
  • Your Size May Vary: The size of Sniffles' vessel changes depending on the shot.
