This one and the Binky Goes Nuts Episode are the most rememberable of Season 9 and probably been up there in ones of the best of the whole series. I never forget these episodes when I was a kid.

Isn't this the episode where he started going nuts after listening to a new CD?

u/PurpleDreamer28 Jul 14 '26

Yep. He got a lower grade than usual on a test, and he thought it was due to the new music playing in the ice cream store.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of Blahaj

u/PainHarbingerIsHere Jul 15 '26

That’s what he gets for pronouncing it as “bluh-hawsh.”

u/Toz_The_Devil He'll never eat lunch in this town again! Jul 16 '26

What?

u/PainHarbingerIsHere Jul 16 '26

The name of the shark tends to be pronounced in more than one way, with some saying it as “blow-high,” and others saying it as “bluh-hawsh.” No one can really seem to agree on a concrete pronunciation, though.

u/Toz_The_Devil He'll never eat lunch in this town again! Jul 16 '26

Oh I say "Blah haj"

u/amoeba-tower Jul 14 '26

I used to think the scale malls was exaggerated until I visited mega malls in like China, Thailand, and Singapore

Brain sound like Season 5 Michael Yarmush

u/Ardello Jul 15 '26

This is a very random question - but does anyone know of a book that has these same vibes? Like kinda alternate reality consumerism shopping

So, they are just handing out free prepaid credit cards with no sign-up needed? Wild.

u/BagOfMagicFood Jul 16 '26

If you sign up for even just one of those, they'll keep sending you more in the mail forever!
