Information[]

Summary[]

Numbuh 1 has a secret girlfriend who he often neglects because of his Kids Next Door responsibilities, forcing her to use a boyfriend helmet to mind-control Numbuh 1. If the helmet stays on for too long, it will start to merge with Numbuh 1's head and stay on forever.

Plot[]

Nigel gets a message and lies to the others that it's a mission he can take on all on his own, which makes the others have a day off. Kuki suggests them going to the carnival, so that's what they did. But sometime later, they find that Nigel isn't on a mission after all, but he's at the carnival with a young chubby girl named Lizzie (which talks harshly). Hoagie and Wallabee insult him with a song (Hoagie and Wallabee: Nigie and Lizzie sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!). That lead to an embarrassed Nigel saying that he and Lizzie, who didn’t mind the teasing, weren't going 'out' out which makes her angry and pushes him in chocolate. After she leaves, Wallabee makes a comment on women and gets punched by Kuki and Abigail long into the night. The next day, Nigel, Hoagie, and Wallabee are going to get new comics and Kuki and Abigail's girl magazines. On the way there, they see Lizzie and she gives Nigel a gift, apologising about the bad date yesterday. It turns out that the gift was a boyfriend helmet. Nigel puts it on and Lizzie controls his romance feelings using a remote. Lizzie grabs Nigel and tells him he's taking her on the most romantic date ever.

Hoagie and Wallabee buy the comics and magazines and return to the treehouse. While Wallabee is complaining about buying the "cruddy girl magazines", Hoagie tells Abigail about the helmet. After realising it was a boyfriend helmet and if they don't stop it, Nigel will be forced to love Lizzie forever, the team goes to a fancy restaurant to help Nigel. At the restaurant, Nigel and Lizzie were eating some food. Lizzie was telling Nigie about being engaged, getting married, and not seeing his stupid friends anymore. Suddenly, Hoagie, Kuki, Wallabee, and Abigail appear, punch the waiter, and prepare to take Nigel home. Lizzie uses the remote and commands Nigel to destroy his friends. Nigel, controlled by the helmet, agrees to do it. Nigel battles Hoagie, Kuki, Wallabee, and Abigail and he lands on the table. The team shoot a bunch of things at him until he's covered by lots of goop and nets. Lizzie grabs the remote and turns the knob to maximum power. Nigel escapes and pins everyone to the wall using forks.

When Nigel returns to talk to Lizzie, the check comes. Nigel gets enraged over the overly expensive check and goes ballistic, causing the Boyfriend Helmet to go haywire and explode, returning him to normal. When Nigel tells Lizzie not to do that again, he looks around and sees his friends on the wall. Nigel asks Lizzie if she wants some ice cream. She says yes and they leave the restaurant, leaving Hoagie, Kuki, Wallabee, and Abigail there.

Trivia[]

  • Numbuh 1 demonstrates that he has ice sculpting skills in this episode. It is unknown if the ability was from the helmet or if it was a natural talent.
  • In the Carnival, one of the lesser Ice Cream Men is seen at the "Fat Chance" food stand.
  • When Numbuh 5 shows the others the ad for the YesDear 5000, she has her little finger extended while holding the magazine.
  • The restaurant Lizzie and Nigel goes to is called "Le Ball du Shane"; the name is a reference the term "ball and chain", which is most often used about a partner who won't let you do anything or go anywhere without them.

Production Notes[]

  • Although this episode premiered in 2003, it has a 2002 copyright date in the credits. It is also the last episode to have a copyright date of 2002.
  • Lizzie's first design was deemed too mean and unlikable by Cartoon Network, forcing Mr. Warburton to change her design through all the storyboard pages for the episode.[1]

Series Continuity[]

  • This is the only episode where Lizzie is the main antagonist. She also played an antagonistic role in Operation: R.E.C.E.S.S.. These antagonistic roles would end up foreshadowing her role in the GKND.
  • This is not the only appearance of the YesDear 5000 (Boyfriend Helmet). It would reappear reverse engineered as a girlfriend helmet in Operation: S.N.O.W.I.N.G. by Jimmy Nixon.
  • This the first appearance of Lizzie Devine.
  • This marks the first time Numbuh One is referred to as "Nigie".
  • The funfair in this episode is the theme park Hap-Happy-Land from Operation: C.A.N.N.O.N..
  • Numbuh 1 activates his J.E.T.A.B.O.O.T.S. by touching his shoe. He later in the series change to click the heels together to activate them.

Pop Culture References[]

Errors/Goofs[]

  • When Kuki suggests to go to the funfair, her socks are white when they should be green.
  • After Numbuhs 2-5 exit the spinning attraction and Numbuh 3 suggests taking it again, they all groan despite all having their mouths closed.
  • When Numbuhs 1, 2, and 4 go to find new comic books, they exit Numbuh 1's house with Numbuh 4 in the front, followed by Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 2 last. But in the closeup shot, Numbuh 2 is instead in front.
  • When Numbuh 1 puts on the Boyfriend Helmet, the straps are inexplicably tightened without him having touched them.
  • When Numbuh 1 tells Numbuhs 2 and 4 to go on without him to the comic store, their exact placement changes between standing on a corner, to standing further down the sidewalk, without moving.
  • The remote to the Boyfriend Helmet disappears from Lizzie's hand when Numbuh 1 starts walking with her, only to reappear in her hand when the shot changes angle.
  • Numbuh 5 flips through her magazine to find the ad for the Boyfriend Helmet and points to one of the pages. But when she shows the ad to the others, she shows the back cover of the magazine.
  • Numbuh 3's comic disappears out of her hands while Numbuh 5 is showing the Boyfriend Helmet ad to Numbuh 2 and 4.
  • The black line on the side of Numbuh 4's T.A.N.G.L.E.R. is missing when they first appear in the restaurant. This is corrected in the next shot.
