Recap / Mao Mao S 1 E 21 The Truth Stinks

Go To

Due to Badgerclops not taking a bath after finding some crystals, he begins to smell, causing most of the people to be disgusted, especially Mao Mao and Adorabat. Since Mao Mao and Adorabat do not want to make Badgerclops angry for pointing out the stench as Badgerclops can’t take personal criticism, the two decide to make him clean and remove the stench. Unfortunately for Mao Mao and Adorabat, it's easier said than done, and Badgerclops gets suspicious of the actions of the two.


This Episode Contains Examples Of:

  • Can't Take Criticism: the main conflict of this episode lies in the fact that Badgerclops simply cannot accept other people criticizing him, as doing so makes him erupt into a violent tantrum in which he ravages everything around him in a rage.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: After several failed attempts to lure Badgerclops into a bathing, Adorabat decides to abandon subtlety in favor of a bucket of bath bombs...and a lit stick of dynamite.
  • Hates Baths: Badgerclops has let himself get all smelly because he thinks that his crystals are taking all the toxins out of his body and thus doesn't need to bathe. Once he admits he does smell, he also admits that he hates taking showers and was just using the crystals as an excuse to not take one.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: When Badgerclops reveals that he was only using the crystals as an excuse to not take a shower simply because he hates showering, Mao Mao and Adorabat forcibly give him one in the most demeaning way possible.
  • Rage Breaking Point: After the below-mentioned Trail of Bread Crumbs gambit fails, Adorabat is...frustrated.
    Adorabat: I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I HAVE TO END THIS!!
  • Trail of Bread Crumbs: Mao Mao and Adorabat leave a trail of beignets to lure Badgerclops into a series of traps to try and clean him, but he evades each and every one. The last one is in the bathtub, where Mao Mao and Adorabat are ready to force him to take a shower. Badgerclops takes a long time reaching for it... but then decides he's full, leaving Mao Mao and Adorabat taking the shower themselves.
  • Visible Odor: Badgerclops' stench is depicted as a green mist surrounding him.
