The Wool is Not Enough

Original air date: 3/3/2002

In the twenty-first episode of Sheep in the Big City, General Specific enlists the help of Dr. Oh No No No in capturing Sheep. However, the Doctor has own his agenda.

"The Wool is Not Enough" contains examples of:

  • Bond Gun Barrel: The famous James Bond gun barrel sequence is spoofed at the beginning of Chapter 2, where Sheep is seen walking in a gun barrel before white liquid pours over. It then turns out that General Specific and Dr. Oh No No No are spying on Sheep through a telescope and the Angry Scientist spilled milk in front of the telescope.
  • Call-Back: Thrombo Creeros makes a reappearance and his movie "Deadly Powerful" is mentioned after appearing in the stinger of Baah-Dern Times and a cameo in a video store in Party of the Shear.
  • Enemy Mine: General Specific and Sheep team up to stop Dr. Oh No No No, who plans to conquer the globe by using an elephant to power the Sheep Ray Gun.
  • The Name Is Bond, James Bond: Thrombo Creeros (from the stinger of Baah-Dern Times makes a cameo a the end and introduces himself as "Creeros, Thrombo Creeros".
  • Not That Kind of Doctor: Dr. Oh No No No explains that he is not a medical doctor when General Specific asks him to check out his rash.
  • Rattling Off Legal: An Oxymoron skit has a fake Shrimpola Cola contest and... well the contest rules and details weren't so much as rattling off so much as rambling, as it also brings up hilariously irrelevant things like banning people named Timmy from participating in the contest.
  • Shout-Out: From the episode title to the various set-pieces to the credits sequence, the entire episode is a love letter to James Bond flicks.
