Armless
but not Harmless
|
This
episode is another potential classic. I didn't really like Venus
or Milo too much, but the antics
of The Tick and Arthur
without arms are hilarious, as is the new superhero, Plungerman!
Venus
is an evil love goddess who hypnotizes men and forces them to
do her bidding. Her permanent stoolie is Milo, who is her little
whipping boy who also seems to be some sort of scientist. The
evil couple's first robbery is foiled by Plungerman, who is actually
just a plumber but Venus and The Tick both assume he must be a
superhero.
The
embarrassing defeat at the hands of Plungerman cost Venus her
inviation to the Enemy awards, so she plans to go on an epic evil
spree. Her plan fails and The Tick and Arthur are about to defeat
them, but Milo's invention causes The Tick and Arthur's arms to
fall off.

Whoa!
This could be serious!

But
Arthur...you know...
|
Milo
uses the arms to build evil robots that aid Venus on a crime spree
while The Tick and Arthur (without their arms) try to avoid capture
as fugitives. Eventually, Tick and Arthur manage to corner the
evil couple at the Enemy Awards and Plungerman reattaches their
arms, but not until much hilarity has already ensued...
Final
note; The Evil Midnight
Bomber makes a short cameo appearance trying to get into the
Evil Awards but he's kicked out by the evil doormen (although
it looks like he is sitting behing Venus in the audience...? You
know that any sighting of The Evil Midnight Bomber is enough to
gain 1/2 star for the episode...

Tickisms
The
Tick:
Villains,
I say to you now, Knock off all that Evil!
Villain love goddess, you toy with the hearts of men!
When evil sees a twin headed Arthur powered flying engine of justice
barreling down upon it, great will be its trembling!
Hey! You splattered my sidekick
all over your windshield!
All right! This is quite a pickle,
but no reason to panic, Arthur
We don't have hands; we can't possibly comply with their demands!
Remember, we're unarmed!
Don't make us bite you in hard to reach places!
Unhand my hands, you mechanized menace!
You know, Arthur, when Evil is afoot
and you don't have any arms, you gotta use your head. And when
Evil is ahead, and you're behind, you've gotta do the legwork!
But, when you can't get a leg up, you gotta be hip! you gotta
keep your chin up and kick some...
The
Forehead:
OK,
if you guys are evil, eat this kitten!
Venus:
Milo,
the only lost male around here is you!
