It was a overly average episode which seems kinda disappointing compared to the other 2 episode. But it wasn't a bad one has it had some decently amusing moments. Overall its this season's first really "Average" episode IMO so overall a 3 out of 5.

This was a really good episode, not one of the best but it had a lot of great moments.

SHAVE:
It was ok. Started with alot of suspence that drew you into it, then there was the expitition, then the final battle. It was Soso but better then Tapioca, (the episode, not the pudding, although I'm not too keen on the pudding either) The best part had to be Numbuh 3. She was so cute and funny the whole time, she gave this episode and extra point. And the CHOP-SHOP was really cool too. Oh, and may I add, numbuh 5 is the Macgyver of the KND.

Best quotes:
"You will be avenged!" ~Nigel
"This won't hurt a bit." ~ Kuki with an evil smile.
"Oooh, poor kitty!" ~Kuki talking about the mustach creature

"We're helping the kitty!!!"
"Uhhh, I vote we help the kitty..."~ Kuki and Wallabee

"Uh, just for the record, I'm a boy mustach" ~ Mustach creature


OOMPPAH
Ah this one was alot better, espeacily for a Nigel fan like me. We get to meet his dad! although I was a bit concerned at the beginning that he was going to be another Goof-ball dad like Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 5's but the scene in the boot soon changed that. We learned more about Nigel's dad in those 11 minutes then any of the other dads in the series. He's a good well meaning guy who just wants to be an ideal dad but finds himself stumbling over his own personality. The fact that we see his face adds a new dimension to him too, being able to see his whole face and all his emotions we can feel for him. plus you can see the beginnings of Nigel's own personality espeacily when his dad gets apologetic.

We learn so much about Nigel here, that he loves his dad though he doesn't admit it. And we learned that all dad's love the sousaphone and the business section. The sousaphone battle was fairly reminisint of "dueling banjos" in fact, you can hear a banjo during part of the song. As for the song itself, I felt it ate up alot of time, I closed my eyes and just listened to it until it was over. Was it just me or did that sousaphone kid (Willard?) look like a male version of Lizzie? What is it with the Uno men and attracting freaks?

Best parts:
"Eww, this can is full of worms!" ~ Mr. Uno
Mr. Uno being clueless when fishing.
Nigel dunking his head underwater to escape his dad.
"Now son, you can't catch fish like that." ~ Mr. Uno pulling Nigel's head out of the water.
"You... are my friend dad." ~ Nigel, all alone :(

I want to strangle the Kids Next Door!

Uh.... any reason why?

[Youko Recca]

What...you would stop me?

[wrenchien]

What...you would stop me?

..... is it too late to go back out!?!? :eek:

[Youko Recca]

The look on their octogon faces as they gasp for what little breath they have left would be...invigorating!!!

I agree with this statement. I'll even admit that the Shave episode had some character development, but the storyline still tells us "Kids rule Adults suck". No real big changes. Most of the gags are putting me to sleep and offend the knowledge of both kids and adults. Number 4 is still a cocky little brat. And the rest are still very anoying.

I'm getting tired of this crap and most of us believe that this show wouldn't of even made it to the second season if it wasn't for the over abundent advertising.

The rest of you will be saying this phrase for my statement. ;)

"So when do I get to punch him again?"-The Tick

Could we get back on the topic of the episode now? We don't want to listen to people's fantasies of killing fictional children. We wanna hear episode reviews.

If you have a gripe with the show start a new topic. ok?

amen!

in the meantime, i saw some of that shaved episode.. downer about texas, though, since i live there.. but seeing kuki-oni 's expression at the end made up for more than this.

the 2nd part i just .. didn't see much of. or want to.

[Xfox]

These episodes were disappointing. After last week's sharks and this week's mustache creatures, the writer's are making the plots too surreal.

Though I did get a chuckle from Numbuh 3 suddenly sprouting sharp teeth while shaving the other kids.

Why...did I bring up bad memories!?

[Numbuh 4]

Not as good as it could of been, but not awful. 3.5/5 Mainly cause the 2nd one didn't have any other KND.

I could tell you I was out on Halloween, missed taping the Kids Next Door Episode Review of "S.H.A.V.E"/O.O.M. P.A.H" and could only see it now, but I'll just mention it.

"Operation S.H.A.V.E"- A lot more intresting then I thought it would be. Instead of the typical evil adult plan, it was more of a survival plan made by... moustaches? Hey, it's a cartoon, deal with it. Anyway, the highlights would be the opening scene of Numbahs 1, 4 and 5 entering the other K.N.D base (and the first new KND of the season are in this episode. Note it), using shavers on the guards, the moustache that took over that lady, a very pissed off numbah 3, and the end where they gave the penguins moustaches. Short on some laughs though. B

"Operation O.O.M P.A.H"- Hmmm, a full solo Numbah One episode. So this pretty much means that there can be episodes where only one of the team is present. I like that idea. Anyway, a pretty intresting episode. Once again, the villian is not an evil adult, but rather a lonley kid who wanted a dad (Since his went to the store to get milk for 10 minutes. Kid needs to buy an attention span). Highlights include the opening Numbah 1 in space scene, Nigel's Dad playing the Tuba (Susaphone!!) and the other dads enjoying it, the little emotional moment Nigel had with his dad before the kid took his dad away, Numbah 1 and the kids' "Susahpone" battle (for the record, as an intrsumalist, the tubas I heard sound more like the one's Nigel played. It's more realistic) and the end where Nigel's dad wants him to take more "Susaphone" lessons. Good episode, but nothing outstanding. B+


Overall: B+
