Recap / The Powerpuff Girls 2016 S 02 E 30 A Slight Hiccup

Go To

Due to drinking tons of soda in order to teach Bubbles how to burp, the girls come down with super-powered hiccups. They try wait for it to pass over but when the Gnat comes to attack Townsville, the girls have to try to stop him while trying to avoid causing more trouble to the town.


Has the following tropes:

  • Art Shift: When Bubbles lets out a mega burp, it shows footage of real life buildings being knocked over.
  • Burping Contest: The girls gain their hiccups due to trying to do one of these.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
    • The girls arrive to stop the Gnat from destroying the Jar Factory, only to end up doing it themselves accidentally with their hiccups.
    • The girls create a tornado to blow away the Gnat and do so....except they now have a runaway tornado to stop.
  • Serious Business: Jars. It's mentioned that it's a the lifeblood of the town.
  • Shout-Out:
    • One of the tour passagers is designed like Dipper from Gravity Falls.
    • When Bubbles goes flying into the Jar Factory due to her hiccup, the music that plays is similar to Louis Armstrong song "What A Wonderful World".
    • When the tornado comes back, one of the citizen exclaims "It's a twister! It's a twister!"
  • Slow "NO!": Bubbles does this when she goes flying toward the Jar Factory thanks to her hiccups. The Mayor likewise when it goes up.
  • Theme Music Power-Up: Parodied. An ersatz version of the Popeye theme plays as the girls drink cans of soda in order to produce a burp strong enough to stave off the tornado they created.
