The
Tick vs. The Terror
The
Tick vs. The Terror was originally filmed with the intent
to air it as episode #2, but Fox and the producers were
unhappy with the original version of it and asked that it
be rewritten and filmed and thus aired later in the series.
This is unfortunate for three reasons; first and foremost
because by being moved to the end of the run The Tick vs.
The Terror was never actually aired in the United States
at all. Secondly, airing The Funeral was never intended
to air second in the show; and when it did many people pointed
out continuity problems that arose because this episode
wasn't in between. Finally, the real shame is that we'll
probably never see the original version of this episode;
we'll only see the toned-down version that was finally aired
overseas. *sigh*
This
is, in my opinion, the funniest of the Live Tick episodes.
The Tick is clueless as always, but in this episode it works
in a way that is absent in most of these episodes. Although
Armin Shimerman wasn't tall and thin like The Terror from
the comics and cartoon, his portrayal was actually pretty
good; I was pleasantly surprised.

Tickisms:
The
Tick:
Arthur is broken! Give me 200 cc's of tender loving
care, stat!
Say, do you think you could sup him up a bit? Maybe
give him a metal arm with a laser or something?
I believe the talking box will come in handy…
Clearly another of one of your special talents we
need to add to our list of resources…Arthur's
driving obsession to organize…
Retain that anus! One day it's fruit may be the
only thing that stands between us and total oblivion!
I think it's time we grappled with the core of your
being.
You know me Arthur, you always have. I am the you
that you want to be. The only thing stopping you
from being me is you.
I've heard of fear…
Virtue man! You're fat with it!
Step one; we need an archenemy. The most powerful,
deadly, and brilliant criminal mastermind we can
find. Someone who will burn his fetid midnight oil
hatching up a thousand plots to annihilate us. Someone
within easy commuting distance would be a plus.
We'll put an end to your reign of Te…you're
reign of YOU!
Don't be an Adolf Quitler!
Inside that wretched nut of doom lies the life…the
very life you wanted!
Don't be a cry baby…be a try baby!
He was seven feet tall if he was a day!
I know you been around awhile, but Wow! You're extra
old!
Hindsight? You mean sight that comes out of your…
When you get in bed with evil incarnate, it always
takes the covers.
You can toast me till I'm burnt and crumby.

Nurse:
Shock, contusions, possible neck injury, second degree
teat singing…
Arthur:
Fire! Big cow…
Giving the Tick the Terror's phone number is like
giving a child a loaded gun…pointed at me!
Captain
Liberty :
He threw a dump truck at Apocalypse Cow. A dump truck!
(To the Tick) Frankly, I was just trying to kill you.
I'm gonna need a machine to poop that cake!
Batmanuel:
Batmanuel's hard earned savings don't grow on trees.
Vending machine coffee…it's come to this…
Hello! I got the poison lobster!
The
Terror :
I'll fold ya in my wallet and spend ya on a whore!
I'm gonna tuck you in for a dead nap, Betty!
You're gonna have a bootprint for a face, pansy!
Metcalf:
Life is a quantity vs. quality thing.
