Summary: The Kids Next Door can easily beat enemies like the Parent Teacher Organization using their electricity-powered 2 x 4 technology. However, when Numbuh 3 lets all the hamsters go, the KND lose their power source. They aren't too worried about it until Gramma Stuffum comes (well, except for Numbuh 1). Gramma Stuffum, who was sent by the DC, forces the KND to eat all sorts of icky, sticky foods, and she even defeats Numbuh 2, whose appetite is unmatched among the KND. Then the hamsters return from their vacation at the beach and are ready to eat any food they come across. Gramma Stuffums and her henchmen trip and land conveniently on Numbuh 2's rubber band food flinger. With a cheesy line, he sends them back to the kitchen...er...DC's house, where Ms. Stuffum finds more hungry mouths to feed.
Characters: Numbuhs 1-5, Parent Teacher Organization of Eradicating Youngsters, Toiletnator, DCFDTL, Gramma Stuffum, Liver, Onions, & other food
Favorite quote: "Feed the skinny one!"
Interesting facts:
- Gramma Stuffum has quite a collection of food, including... liverwurst head cheese casserole, spinach, pork feet or hocks, cheese balls (we think), cheese sandwich with olives, liver & onions, cabbage head, potatoes with mushrooms on them (at least they look like that), holey cheese, ice cubes with an urchin-like thing inside, meatpies, and gorilla pies.
- The lever to trigger #2's rubber band food flinger is a car's gear shift thingy. That's not that interesting, but oh well. �_�
- You get to see Numbuhs 1, 3, 4, & 5 fat and Numbuh 2 with his food-eating gear. They're all so cute!
- The hamsters get a well-deserved vacation, and they save the day, too.
- Liver and Onions are very cute too, especially at the end where the two Onions are giggling and bump into each other and continue giggling evilly.
- The DC's house again! We want to live there.
- Sometimes doesn't make sense. For example: the Cabbage head willingly gets rid of #2, but after Gramma Stuffum finishes off #1, 3, 4, & 5, Liver claims that he is "missing", but Liver purposely got rid of him.
- We know the food is supposed to look unappetizing, but just looking at them made us sick. Urgh...
Well, this episode doesn't really make sense that much, but it's pretty cute & funny (especially #5's responses to #2's lines). The idea of icky food wanting to stuff themselves down kids' esophagi is interesting but it isn't explained very well. Gramma Stuffum WANTS the KND to eat her food, but is worried when #2 actually likes to eat it. However, the episode overall is nice and cute.
Ika's rating:
I thought it was kind of weird how much the KND relied on power (haven't they ever heard of batteries?) and it was a bit confusing. Other than that, though, the episode was really cute--cute bumping Onions, cute KND--and I liked #2's cheesy jokes.

Summary: Numbuh 3 is skipping down the street after buying some candy from Mr. Jelly's candy store, when the sky suddenly turns dark and a mysterious man brushes her teeth until they shine. She returns and tells everyone what happened. Soon, they find #4 with reaaally big braces and a note from a person named Knightbrace. Then Numbuh 2 & 5 disappear and are found in a floss web. Suspecting Knightbrace is the local dentist, Sigmund Teef, the KND set a trap for Knightbrace. He retreats into the dentist's office. Using bright teeth, heavy braces, and tripping floss, Numbuhs 2-5 manage to knock Knightbrace down and #1 unmasks him, revealing that he is not Teef, but Mr. Jelly, who explains that he wanted to be a dentist but was forced to sell candy and watch it rot kids' teeth. He then tries to brush #1's teeth with bubblegum flavored toothpaste but Sigmund Teef stops him using taffy, which is very sticky and also Mr. Jelly's favorite candy. Dr. Teef then offers the KND a free dental check-up, but they decline and call him a freak.
Characters: Numbuhs 1-5, Knightbrace/Mr. Jelly, Sigmund Teef
Favorite quote: "In the name of fluoride, stop this...!"
Interesting facts:
- Knightbrace's weaponry: spider-man-like floss web and toothpaste squirting, boomerang brace, spiked toothbrush (that enlarges) and small mirror tucked in his belt, transforming dentist chair.
- When Knightbrace was a little kid, he had a dog. And the school he was kicked out of had the initials of DDSU and had a toothbrush sticking out the front of it. What does DDSU stand for? I think maybe Doctor of Dental Science University.
- Numbuh 1's decoy doll that holds a bunch of candy and has a sign saying 'I LUV CAVITIES' is pretty cute.
- Numbuh 4 was so mean calling Dr. Teef a freak. �_�;
Hm... This episode is okay. I think it has a lot of funny parts like when #3 says, "Hi!" to Knightbrace and he stops and says, "Oh, hi, how are--UAHH!". On the other hand, I felt really sorry for Sigmund Teef. Also, in the middle of the episode, I guessed that Knightbrace was Mr. Jelly, but I thought his reason for his actions was to get more money by brushing people's teeth, so that they would buy more candy from his shop, but it wasn't. I like my idea better. Oh well.
Ika's rating:
Numbuh 4 was too mean, in my opinion. Well, I liked the characters (Knightbrace & Dr. Teef) and I liked the Numbuh 1 doll. But I didn't really like the general idea that kids want to get icky teeth. It's kind of weird.
