Written by Lindsay Katai

Ryan, Min, and Kez have to make the perfect dessert for a very fussy baby.


Tropes:

  • Dramatically Missing the Point: Min-Gi concludes from their numbers lowering after Ryan learns to take things slowly that their numbers must be linked to him. When the number immediately reverts because Min-Gi doesn't assume himself responsible, he figures Ryan just has to demonstrate the lesson again later to prove it stuck.
  • Eagleland: The cookbook Ryan and Min-Gi have to use is full of extremely fattening, messy and gaudy dishes involving strong, clashing flavors. The boys naturally assume all the recipes must be American.
    Ryan: He's a pig, right? He probably loves gross American food.
  • Gravity Screw: The Pig Baby Car has various objects and furniture suspended in mid-air, leading to a hole in the ceiling.
  • Macro Zone: Everything is giant-sized in the Pig Baby Car, including said pig baby.
  • Moving the Goalposts: After successfully making brownies for Pig Baby, Cow Creamer explains that they'll never be allowed to leave. They'll be forced to make food for Pig Baby until he dies, after which they'll become the new Pig Baby.
  • Stealth Pun: The pig baby is also, literally, a big baby.
  • Truth in Television: The post-war American recipes mentioned in the episode are actual recipes created in that exact context.
  • Unsatisfiable Customer: Passengers in the Pig Baby's car are forced to cook for him, using a cookbook of gross recipes he doesn't like.
  • Was Once a Man: The talking dairy creamer says that Ryan and Min-Gi will cook for Pig Baby until he dies, at which point they will become the new pig baby, implying that this is a recurring cycle.
