Information[]

Summary[]

Numbuh 4 uncovers an insidious baseball-like game where fragile objects are smashed.

Plot[]

Wallabee Beetles is charged with protecting his mom's prized/priceless koala bear vase, or he'll have to go to Ballroom Dancing School for ballroom dancing lessons. This becomes increasingly hard as the vase is stolen by a kid. He follows the robber, which takes him to a baseball stadium and used for a baseball-like game called "Vaseball", where kids use glass and pottery as the balls. Numbuh 4 thinks he must play, and turns out to be very good. But then, the pitcher throws the vase he was supposed to protect. He tries to get away with the vase, only to find himself in a room of bullies. In the office, Wallabee uncovers an insidious plot by his old friend turned enemy Ernest (the commissioner of Vaseball) and his band of bullies, who plan to rat the kids out for their misbehavior, so they can get the kids grounded that way no one can tattle on them as they and the other bullies vandalize every house in the neighborhood with toilet paper and eggs. He accidentally knocks over a bookshelf -- "Uhh... Does that count as a home run?" Ernest, recognizing Wallabee from a previous circumstance when he ruined his Bully Fight Operation, sends his friends after Wallabee. He gets away by an elevator, only to find himself in a match to the death with Ernest. They duel with plates, vases, and all sorts of breakable china. The only thing they don't destroy is the vase Wallabee is supposed to protect. Finally, he knocks a bookcase on Ernest, knocking him out cold. He saves the vase, but the message Ernest had recorded sends out before he can stop it. Every kid (including Ernest, and presumably the other bullies) is grounded except for Wallabee. "He will always live in the hearts of kids who love to break things." As the screen goes black, we can hear the vase finally breaking and his mother angrily screaming "WALLABEE!". It's unknown if she follows through with her earlier threat.

Operation: B.R.E.A.K.U.P./Transcript

Trivia[]

  • This episode implies that Wallabee can play the electric guitar.
  • Wallabee's undercover name is the same as his code name but spelled with "ER" instead of "UH".
  • This is Wallabee's only solo episode as he is the only member of Sector V to appear in this episode.
  • This is the first time Mrs. Beetles' face is revealed in the series.
  • Vaseball is an obvious portmanteau on "Vase" and "Baseball".
  • When Mrs. Beetles yells "WALLABEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" over the "End Transmission" card, her voice is just like Fanny's.
  • The ways in which Wallabee has successfully or unsuccessfully destroyed his mother’s vase are, in order: a soccer ball, a kite, a skateboard, a bowling ball (presumably his father’s), 2 shoes (again, belonging to his dad), an electric guitar, a watermelon, a telephone, a tire, a monkey, the television, a flaming arrow (intercepted by his mother), a bicycle (intercepted by a child), a bat (intercepted by Wally), and finally an unseen method.
  • Oren Kaunfer is named and modeled after the series' Post-Production Supervisor, Oren Kaunfer.
  • Though the red and white Vaseball team was never named, the "C" on their uniforms indicate that they are likely named after one of the following baseball teans: "Chicago White Sox", "Cleveland Guardians", "Chicago Cubs", "Cincinnati Reds" or "Colorado Rockies".

Continuity[]

Cultural references[]

  • The fight between Wallabee and Ernest is very similar to the lightsaber duel between Anakin Skywalker and Count Dooku near the end of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
  • Vaseball is a clear parody of baseball.
  • The Vaseball team, "Bustin' Glass Sox", is a parody of the real baseball team "Boston Red Sox".
  • One of the kids is designed after Ash Ketchum, main character of the Pokémon series.
  • Chip says "mazel tov" after Numbuh 4 steps on a light bulb; "mazel tov" is a Jewish congratulatory phrase and is used in this case as a joke because it is also a Jewish tradition to step on and crush a glass object during a wedding ceremony.

Goofs[]

  • When Numbuh 4 shoots the flaming arrow at the last vase, we can se most of the living room and Joey's carriage is not there.
  • The inside of Numbuh 4's house change between scenes.
  • Numbuh 4's skateboard was actually shooting away from the house, but somehow it still crashed through a window.
  • Hooves appears twice in the queue outside of the stadium, and then in the crowd inside only a moment later.
  • When Ernest appears in the commentary booth with Nick and Chip, a third microphone has suddenly appeared from nothing.
  • The size of the Vaseball pitch change between scenes.
  • The lights on top of the stadium also switch between existing and not existing between scenes.
  • The big catcher behind Numbuh 4 is missing when he catches the vase and runs off.
  • When Numbuh 4 exits Ernest's office, he opens the door the wrong way.
  • The elevator behind Numbuh 4 in the hallway appears out of thin air, as the wall was blank a second earlier.
  • When Numbuh 4 and Ernest are fighting in the smoke, Numbuh 4's silhouette shows that his vaseball jersey has a hood like his normal outfit does. Immediately after this clip, you can see that there's no hood on his jersey.
