Recap / Johnny Test S 5 E 19 Fangs A Lot Johnny

He'd feel more lucky if it wasn't the fangs.

Johnny turns Susan and Mary into vampires to get Gil to fall in love with them. But it turns out the girls want to bite Gil, and now, Johnny and Dukey must save Gil and get his lovestruck vampire sisters back into the lab so they can change them back to normal.

And vampire tropes, here we go!:

• Broken Pedestal: Xeandra to Gil after she abandons him when Susan and Mary show they're real vampires and are after him.
• Daywalking Vampire: Once the girls become vampires, Johnny and Dukey try to head outside where the sun is up, thinking they're safe. But the girls follow them, no worse for wear. When Johnny questions how the sun isn't harming them, they claim the sun just makes their skin sparkle.
• Didn't Think This Through: Midway through Susan and Mary's transformation, Johnny and Dukey realize too late that splicing their DNA with those of vampire bats and turning them into real vampires is a bad idea.
• Evil Is Hammy: Susan and Mary take it up to eleven here with them talking about how they will get Gil, especially with this exchange
  Susan: You can't stop us little slayer brother!
  Mary: Gil will be ours.
• Expy: Xeandra is based on Kristen Stewart.
• Glass Smack and Slide: This happens when Susan and Mary thought of the idea to break into the theater, trying to bite their way inside. Mary even lampshades it herself.
  Mary: Huh, I guess vampires can't bite through glass.
• LEGO Genetics: The twins became vampires in the first place by splicing their DNA with that of vampire bats. This happens again at the end, when Johnny and Dukey splices them with frog DNA.
• Nice Character, Mean Actor: Xeandra, whom Gil is smitten with her film persona. However, in person, she turns out to be a huge brat who abandons Gil when Susan and Mary show up, and threatens to make Johnny and Dukey pay for ruinning her movie premiere. Johnny responds by zapping her into the lab with the transporter gun, then zapping one of the theater seats after her, which promptly falls on top of Xeandra.
• Oh, Crap!: Johnny and Dukey get this as the girls are going through the transformation, realizing midway through what a bad idea it was to tell the girls to turn themselves into vampires. Even moreso when, unsurprisingly, having two vampires as twin sisters turn out to be utterly dangerous as soon as the process finishes.
  Susan and Mary: (Once the transformations finishes, to Johnny and Dukey) WE WANT TO SUCK YOUR BLOOD! (Hisses)
• Our Vampires Are Different: In this episode, Susan and Mary turn into vampires via their lab experiment (in this case splicing their DNA with a vampire bat) though from their words, they can still turn people from their bite, although we never see it. Likewise, they wear gothic black dresses, their eyes turn a cat-like green, and in Mary's words.
  Mary:: Hip teen vampires glitter in the sun now.
• Perky Goth:
  • Susan and Mary definitely look this way with their dresses.
  • Xeandra however, looks a bit more emo, and has the moody, conflicted personality to match. She's not even a vampire to begin with.
• Power Floats: Susan and Mary can fly automatically without having to turn into bats.
• Pun-Based Title: "Fangs a Lot Johnny" is similar to the phrase "Thanks a Lot."
• Shout-Out: The bandana and shades Johnny and Dukey sport are an allusion to the Frogg brothers in The Lost Boys.
• Take That!: This episode shows a few references towards Twilight, like how Susan and Mary glitter in the sun, and Xeandra is a caricature of Kristen Stewart.
• Transhuman Treachery: Once the girls become vampires, they instantly claim they want Johnny and Dukey's blood and go after them. Johnny's only able to get them back off for the moment by reminding them they really want Gil which they agree and fly off. Giving the boys time to think of a way to get them back to the lab to get them back to normal.
• Vampire Episode: Johnny convinces Susan and Mary to turn themselves into vampires to appeal to Gill's newfound love for a Twilight-esqe series. He realizes too late what a bad idea that was and, along with Dukey, is forced to stop them when they become dangerous.
• Vampire's Harem: Inverted when Susan and Mary accidentally turn themselves into vampires. They seek to make Gil as their male mate.
• Vampire Hunter: Johnny and Dukey become vampire slayers to stop the Vampire Twins, but Johnny is only keeping the wooden stakes around because they make them look cool. The real goal is to save Gil first then get the girls back to normal.
• Wall Crawl: When Johnny and Dukey try to escape outside, Susan and Mary scale the side of their house to the roof and drop down on them from the air.
• Yandere: This episode is the biggest example of the twin's obsession with Gil in the entire franchise to date, with the twins trying to bite Gil, turn him into a vampire, and have him for eternity.
