Are wounded expressions always so funny? Huh?

UTOPIA
Whoa. This has to be Chester's greatest scheme yet. The plotline was pretty cool. I didn't even remember Four can't swim until One mentioned it (now it isn't like it was thrown there randomly by the writers anymore). Now, this is what happens when you have nearly the same voice actors as other characters - the four fake KND started taunting him sounded JUST LIKE the Delightful Children! Creepy. I actually thought they were behind this, too.
But unfortunately, like others have said, it won't be as good after the first-time viewing due to how everything's set up and stuff. It was still good, though. But if the utopian island plus Katie were real it probably would have generated quite a few fanfics about them. I know I'd probably do it. This won't lower what I thought about the ep though.
ROBBERS
This episode was good, too. Quite funny at many points. I actually thought the Delightful Children were the HW Bandits in disguise when I saw the ending, until I thought "wait, they looked too different." So now I see the DC must have paid/forced the bandits to give them the homework. Cheaters. At least they got what they deserved. ^_^ It's weird seeing the KND in school though, after seeing two seasons of them being, um, school-less. And the DC are in the same class as Wally and Abby? And sit at the same seat and desk? Too weird.
Sadly, though, this may generate more "Numbuh Four is an idiot" spiel throughout the fandom or at least in fanfics, if there has been any. It's strange, though, 'cause I thought the KND have a bigger vocabulary than normal kids and thus would have better spelling, being operatives in a worldwide adult-fightining tech-using organization and all.
EDIT- Numbuh183: I'm guessing you don't like Looney Tunes or Tom & Jerry cartoons...

l It's strange, though, 'cause I thought the KND have a bigger vocabulary than normal kids and thus would have better spelling, being operatives in a worldwide adult-fightining tech-using organization and all. At least two members of this thread are in high school or College and have claimed to be bad spellers, so this isn't really that unusual. I frankly agree with him on that one. Tom and Jerry is just evil. I mean practically every episode is Jerry being basically a jerk to Tom for little or no real reason, or more typically for very selfish reasons. Tom, on the other hand, is just doing his job and trying to keep his place in life, yet for some reason we're meant to believe that the greedy, selfish, snobbish Jerry is the hero while humble and dutiful Tom is the villain. It's made even worse by the fact that Jerry usually wins (he once even got Tom f---ing BEHEADED). The only episodes of that series I can even stand to watch are the episodes where Tom is a legitimate bad guy, or where Tom wins. Jerry just deserves to be caught in a mousetrap and eaten. Looney Tunes wasn't always that mean-spirited though. One third of them are, one third of them aren't, and the remaining one third is... just plain out there (anyone remember that episode about all the books that came to life?)

I rather say that's some good episodes.
Operation Utopia: Not a good example of the mission but it's a virtual reality episode. Also a Numbuh 1 episode. We introduce a new KND Vehicle, Gargocycle. Nice one. It looks like some Star Wars Cycles. I still noticed that Numbuh 4 can't swim. But it's not a real world.
Screenshots: N/A Funny Part: Nothing but I stayed quiet. Score: 7/10
Operation Robbers: Nothing but a train heist. Or should I say bus heist. Get it? Heh? Okay. So it's a bus but has a train body kit. The robbers are just stealing the homeworks. But wait. Could it be? Isn't that Lizzie in that bus? She's in that bus on the second bus room. Now we introduced Splanker on TV! First the web, now on TV. They show the weapon during season 1, but now they show the tech on TV. It's a 4/5 episode but no romance. They're partners. The DC came back for revenge! Likely... Hehehehe. That's the first mission in Season 3 that the KND failed the mission. But needs work.
Screenshots: N/A Funny Part: I rather say when the other robber got bailed out and he's stuck on a mailbox, then the person gets the mail from inside the robber's mouth. Score: 8/10
Overall: 7/10. Good work but needs more partnership on 4/5.
That's the review.

i saw the delightful children at school in the episode R.O.B.B.E.R.S for my first time i was so happy when i saw that part i love that part i watched that part over and over again i recored both of the new ones i all ways do recored KND Sad part is, they don't know how to do their own homework. That's why they hire the gum gang to steal everyones homework. That way they get all the credit and everyone else gets Fs. I never thought they would actually allow them to sit at just one desk. That was kindof freaky. I wonder how the other kids treat them in school?

I felt kind of neutral on UTOPIA. Didn't love it. Didn't loathe it. However, despite my 4/5 hatred, I loved ROBBERS. Wally's spelling skills cracked me up. And the scene at the end was really good too. For my full review-ish thing, go hyah --> kawaiilildevil.deviantart.com/journal/2736405/

In fact, my bro thought pretty much the same thing, and he's in his mid-20's (he still watches some cartoons like me). I think I used to think "Tom bad, Jerry good" when I was little, but now I think, "Man, I can't stand that little rat." And that episode where Tom was executed via beheading? That part sucked big time. I felt sorry for the poor guy. By the way, I was talking about how Numbuh183 got mad at Scone because she (Scone) laughed at how Four looked with his "wounded expression," even though you see it millions of times in Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry.

I don't even watch Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry. I just think it's cruel to laugh at other people's (characters in this situation) misery.
I think we all saw Lizzie on the bus Grandslam.

I typically never participate, but the heck...
U.T.O.P.I.A. Now this was a lot better than expected. That bit at the end where Wally turned on the machine and made Chester realise his dream was fake was hilarious. And yeah, I'd find Kate attractive if I was his age, too. I know the whole thing was fake and all, dang...who wouldn't find her attractive when you first saw her?
R.O.B.B.E.R.S. Uh...this one turned me off somehow...I was hoping there'd be a scene where the delightful children scolds the bandits for their incompentence of getting into trouble. Sadly, this doesn't happen...
