Recap / Kaeloo S 2 E 29 Lets Play Curse Of The Pharaoh

Go To

Kaeloo, Stumpy, Quack Quack, and Pretty go looking for the tomb of an ancient Pharaoh who was rumored to have discovered the secret of eternal youth.


"Let's Play Curse of the Pharaoh" contains the following tropes:

  • Annoying Arrows: Kaeloo, Quack Quack and Pretty get impaled by arrows, but they don't take it as anything more than a minor inconvenience.
  • Batter Up!: Pretty hits Stumpy with a baseball bat out of anger, making him fly into the air. This actually proves to be a good thing since he lands on top of the hidden mechanism to open the next door.
  • Delayed Reaction: Mr. Cat offers to demonstrate the ancient Egyptian technique of removing the brain through the nostrils on Stumpy, but then says he can't because Stumpy probably doesn't have a brain for him to remove. Stumpy concurs that he must be right, and Mr. Cat gets up and leaves. After he leaves, Stumpy finally realizes that he was insulting him.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Kaeloo warns the others that there could be scorpions in the desert. Pretty screams in fear. Stumpy makes fun of her for getting scared, but then Kaeloo mentions that there could also be rattlesnakes. Stumpy screams even louder and starts to panic.
  • Leeroy Jenkins: At one point, they go into a chamber with horizontally suspended ropes. Kaeloo says that if they touch the ropes, it might trigger a trap, so they have to move slowly and carefully. Stumpy picks up a knife and runs through the chamber, cutting them all and triggering the trap. Stumpy escapes the trap, but the other three are impaled by Annoying Arrows and get mad at him.
  • Misplaced Sorrow: Stumpy starts drowning in quicksand in the middle of the desert. Everybody panics and pulls him out... because their supplies are in his backpack.
  • Riddling Sphinx: The cast come across one when they reach the pharaoh's tomb. It bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Cat.
  • Security Cling: Stumpy jumps into Pretty's arms after Kaeloo says there might be rattlesnakes (which he is terrified of) in the desert they're walking in. Pretty proceeds to throw him on the ground and wipe her feet on him.
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: The "secret of eternal youth" doesn't give you eternal youth after all, and to top things off, it's actually cursed.
