YMMV / Recess S 2 E 7 Gus Last Stand

• Genius Bonus: We get a humorous Surprisingly Realistic Outcome moment where Gus goes to his father for advice about how to deal with Gelman, and gets regaled with the story of Belgium attempting to stand up to Germany in World War I. Gus assumes that it's a David Versus Goliath story of "Little Belgium winning over big Germany" until his father informs him how it actually turned out ("Winning? Ha! They got the stuffing kicked out of 'em!"). But he doesn't tell him the rest of the story: Belgium may not have won against Germany, but Germany's actions persuaded a far more powerful country (Britain) to enter the war against them, as they saw the invasion of a neutral country as a Moral Event Horizon. The segment ends the same way: Gus doesn't beat Gelman in a fight, but the other kids all finally stand up to Gelmen and then Gus' parents arrive to break up the fight when they realize what a danger Gelman really is.
• Woolseyism: In the Spanish dub, after Gus mentions "little Belgium winning over big Germany," his father's reply is "Ha! Neither in war nor in football^* soccer!"
