Gravity Falls: Double Dipper

Reviewed: 10/14/2017

Between Dipper & A Mystery Force!


All right; so I decided to take a detour from Phineas & Ferb since Halloween is fast approaching us and Gravity Falls is like a year round Halloween show anyway. So here's the plot for this episode: When Stan throws a party, Dipper uses an off-kilter copy machine to make clones of himself so he can impress Wendy. Meanwhile, Mabel stands up for her friends, and she fights for the Party Queen title in their honor. This was actually the second highest viewed episode in the first season, which is the official debut of annoying Mabel foil Pacifica Northwest; whom is a really popular character among the Internet fans of this show. Let's rant on shall we...?!

Double Dipper is written by Tim McKeon, Michael Rianda and Old Man McGucket. Storyboards were done by Mark Garcia, Matt Braly and Alonso Ramirez Ramos; while direction is done by Joe Pitt and Aaron Springer. Animation is done by Digital Emation Inc.


Episode opened with inside the mess hall with Soos on a step ladder putting a green party hat on the horn of a rhino's head. Wendy is blowing up balloons while Stan is looking around with a clipboard; with Dipper and Mabel sitting on the couch doing nothing. Dipper is selling stomach pains, while having a can of something behind his back as he "vomits" silly string onto Mabel. Mabel sells it awfully as she sprays silly string on Dipper in response. They sell, they giggle, Stan is picking his nose, Wendy goes to break it up; because something terrible just happened. She then shoots lime green silly string. Yawn. Stan is now frowning and it's only a 0.2 Rock Lobster Yeti as Mabel is throwing gold squares of paper claiming that it's comedy gold. No; it is not. Stan finally has enough and steals the party item as they are now off limits. Cut to Soos putting up a flag banner asking who's birthday it is and Stan admits that this is a scummy scheme to make kids spend that MONEY, MONEY, YEAH, YEAH at the shack. He shows off the jackass named "un Burro" which means "like a donkey" aka "like a jackass". How fitting for Stan, eh? Stan wants to smother them with fun as Dipper and Mabel set up the glasses and Diet Pitt soda bottles up; as Dipper points out that this isn't a good business plan. Stan blows him off and gives Dipper the clipboard with a pink flier that is pretty generic with a deer and party hat on it. The only thing of note is the "Free?" thing, which is clear false advertising. Stan basically wants Dipper to go to the copier store to make copies of the fliers, probably with Dipper's money; knowing Stan. Mabel is giddy about this as Soos cuts a promo that is not used by the copier store; but he feels it should be. Stan tells them to stay here because he has an old copier in his office and claims that he has fixed it up, good as new. Jump cut to Mabel and Dipper peeling the cover from the copier...and Stan has screwed them again. Mabel loves the butterflies and I don't blame her since that's the only thing of note here. Dipper opens the door to the copier and it has cobwebs as Dipper questions if this even works. Dipper pushes the far right white button on the console and leans on it assuming that it won't work. But it scans Dipper's arm and after some coughing, somehow; Dipper's arm is shown on paper, albeit very faded. Riiiiiggggghhhhttttt. Mabel calls this a success, but the paper falls to the ground and turns into a colored arm. IT'S ALIVE~! IT'S ALIVE! POW! OUCH! Ummmm...

Dipper has a cup of soda out of nowhere and throws it onto the arm as it was stalking Dipper and Mabel; and the arm disintagrates. Dipper thinks the copier can copy the DNA of human beings and make them come alive. You don't say? Shadow effects ensue as we DA-DA-DAAAAAA! Sadly; no martial arts zoom in, so this was lame. Mabel asks Dipper if he realizes what this means and then out of nowhere purple silly string hits Dipper's face. Of course! We have to turn a serious matter into a vomitting joke. Of course! WE HIT THE OPENING~! We return to outside the shack with a ticket table and some balloons and banners on the trees. We head back to the mess hall with Stan, Soos, Wendy, Mabel and Dipper. Stan is reading from a clipboard with Stan calling everyone a party person...except Dipper. HAHA! Since Soos works for free and he begged the most, he's DJ. Sounds reasonable to me as Soos claims that he won't regret it; which means Stan is already regretting it. Case in point: Soos' DJ teaching book he shows seconds later. Mabel is wearing a black sweater with yellow thunderbolt in the middle as Stan wants Wendy and Mabel to work the ticket stand; with Mabel whining about it. Dipper voluteers to take Mabel's place in this as Stan talks to him about commitment to the ticket stand and not getting himself out of this. All this happens as Soos is being used as a stomach dancer with more silly string antics from Wendy and Mabel. Dipper claims that he promises and we scene change to Dipper looking in the mirror with a black bowtie on. Dipper is spraying arm pit cleaner on himself and Mabel suddenly appears at the mirror (and not just in the mirror) out of nowhere; and Dipper drops the bottle. Uh-oh! Mabel mocks Dipper for wanting to work the ticket counter with Wendy, and accuses Dipper of wanting some kissy-kissy. Dipper blows her off because he has a Krackpotkin Plan which he seals with a gun cocking sound which sounds similar to the clicking the tongue. Mabel accuses Dipper of making a convoluted, way too complex list to wooing Wendy's heart and Dipper reveals the Krackpotkin Plan. I'm going to read the plan ad verbtium:

Step 1: Smile
Step 2: Wear clean pants
Step 3: Compliment her looks
Step 4: Laugh at her jokes
Step 5: Be nice
Step 6: Block Robbie
Step 7: Wear fitted clothing
Step 8: Wear a tie
Step 9: Talk to her like a normal person
Step 10: Describe how she smells
Step 11: Make her laugh
Step 12: Agree with everything she says
Step 13: Pretend you're fun
Step 14: Pretend you're confident
Step 15: Mop up sweat (in private)
Step 16: Lose "burrito smell"
Step 17: Pretend to read smart books
Step 18: Use deodorant everywhere
Step 19: Display monstermon knowledge
Step 20: Do not display monstermon knowledge

Step 21: Just do your job at the ticket counter. That should be the punchline to the whole thing; but it isn't. And then Dipper proceeds to lie as step one is according to him: Getting to know each other with playful banter, so yes; the list is just there for show and has nothing to do with what Dipper said. Mabel calls this a dumb idea for poop-heads; which this was edited out on Disney XD Asia. Dipper claims that he wants to avoid banter and just dance with her as we get a dream sequence (which is much faker than my sex life) with Wendy and Dipper dancing in formal clothes (well; except for Dipper's truckers' cap). Somehow; Dipper has romantacized himself to being the same height as Wendy wants to see the checklist. Geez; Dipper's hyperbole is worse than Nintendo Switch haters is. Oh; and there are 11 steps instead of the 20 steps listed on the list. Something tells me the animators and the writers are on completely different planets in this sequence. Mabel claims that only Dipper is screwing Dipper and just talk to her, which Dipper points out is step nine. Ummm; Dipper?! Mabel's telling you it's step one. Mabel is not impressed and we head to the DISCO DANCE PARTY OF DOOM almost five minutes in. Soos is DJ as the spotlights are on and out comes Stan in a plain white shirt and golden necklace dancing like a fool. Dipper is wearing a purple sweater with triangle green earrings as Soos's electronic keyboard makes him like a fool. There are a number of people on the dance floor dancing, some others are sitting. Stan ups his scumbag levels even more by charging an exit fee of fifteen dollars if anyone leaves the party. Lee returns and he has only thirteen, so he's trapped. Here's a clue; when there is a question mark beside free, always assume it's not free. Do not attend this party. Lee and Nate press their faces on the glass window and knock on it while we see Dipper and Wendy at the ticket counter sitting down. Wendy is giving tickets to the guest as it shows that the exit free is not included. Wendy is eating popcorn as spooky music ensues as we begin the Krackpotkin plan with (not) witty banter as Wendy is confused about Dipper's totally lame punchline, causing Dipper to sweat like he's in an Oscar convention. Dipper stuffs popcorn in mouth; and Wendy continues her work without a care in the world. See; Mabel was right all along, Dipper; should have went with step nine right away and then proceed to step twenty-one. Har, har, de-har har!

Dipper nearly chokes like the Cleveland Indians did last week and fetches for a new topic; when he really needs is two clicks in the making of a clue. Jump cut to Mabel on the glass dance floor, dancing and snapping her fingers. So Mabel heads to a chair next to two girls in chairs. One of them is huge in an awesome COOL pink shirt with blue shorts and sneakers; and a paler girl with glasses, black hair, wearing a green striped shirt, white socks and black shoes. Grenda is the one with the lizard on her right shoulder (as Mabel points out) and is voiced by the same person who voiced Papercut Peterson in Kick Buttowski. The other is Candy Chiu; who is known for speaking Korean and voiced by Niki Yang; who also did work on a couple of Fish Hooks episodes. Considering that the creator of this show is also the voice of Clamantha, I'm not surprised. Grenda has a really deep voice and Candy's gimmick is that she speaks Korean and has forks attached to her fingers like claws and sees trying to improve the human being. I approve of this gimmick as the lizard gets fed and they laugh. Grenda's voice is a deep improvement from dealing with Clamantha; so I approve of her gimmick as well. Soos still sucks at both reading and DJ'ing. So the one who gets the highest pop at the end of the night wins the party crown which he shows. Everyone is in awe, and I'm shocked Stan isn't in awe of this; because you should Stan by now. I'm calling the finish right now: Mabel wins; but loses the crown thanks to Stan being a scumbag. Prove me wrong, writers; prove me wrong. And in comes three girls looking cool as a blond haired girl with shades, wearing a lot of purple with purple hooped earrings; towards Soos, and the blond haired girl instantly declares herself the winner, while looking at her compact mirror. Candy points out that she is Pacifica Northwest, the most popular girl in town. Apparently; she's also the most popular Gravity Falls character on the internet, even though like Don Karnage in TaleSpin, she is supposed to be the heel. Jackie Buscarino voices Pacifica; who is another one who worked on Fish Hooks. Grenda literally sounds like Papercut Peterson that I swear that line he cut was cut out from another show. Soos no sells the deal and Pacifica decides to call his bluff claiming: Who is going to challenge her. 2:1 odds is that it's Mabel; because she's Mabel. Pacifica then calls Candy "fork girl" and Grenda "lizard lady". This was so offensive that they are forced to hug each other as the two girls with Pacifica laugh their asses off so badly that even I want to see Mabel kick their asses.

Mabel storms in; pushes the briefcase closed (so yes; Pacifica was going to bribe Soos into giving her the crown with money. She is the kid version of Stan now) and accepts the challenge. She offers to shake hands with Pacifica, Pacifica no sells and calls her name one that an old fat lady would say. Wait; I thought Baloo was the old fat lady's name. POW! OUCH! Ummmm... Mabel seriously has no clue that this was an insult and takes it as a compliment. HAHA! Pacifica accepts in kind and snaps her fingers as she and her dancing partners dance into the shadows and Mabel waves back. HAHA! And then proceeds to say in the most unconcerned look on her face that Pacifica is going down. HAHA! So we head back to the ticket counter as more money is being exchanged and at least one little kid has lost his arms in this shot. Music tempo picks up as we head inside as Soos proclaims that the party crown even has begun. Mabel is breaking the ice and coming out strong as Wendy loves this so much that she wants to get in on the fun, and wants Dipper to cover for her. So yes; it's Wendy who breaks the promise of Dipper. I betcha Dipper gets blamed for all this; because Stan has a personal grunge against Dipper, for some reason. Wendy enters the party and dances on the floor like she teleported; all while flipping Dipper's hat in return. Dipper flips the sign to closed and will be back in a few minutes; but Stan cuts him off and reminds him of his promise; complete with out of nowhere audio recording in case the children who just tuned in moments ago before Dipper said that. Still; good for Stan to make sure Dipper didn't skirt his word, but he has a personal grunge for no reason. At least when Rebecca was harsh on Baloo; we knew Baloo was irresponsible and thus any attacks on Rebecca without due cause was just sexism. Stan leaves and he also got a great line where he claims that the kids are not going to rip off themselves. Funny since; that means, there are no fanboys in this world. Dipper turns the sign as he looks at Wendy dancing on the dance floor. Dipper wonders if he could be in two places at once. Somehow; Dipper was able to get to the copier without Stan noticing him this time. Dipper lies down on the copier's scanning part as he wonders if this is a good idea. Ummmmmmm...nope. So we do the scanning part as the paper image of Dipper appears. Image Dipper rises from the paper and turns color; but is missing the tree logo on the cap, the bowtie and is paler than Dipper. Dipper is shocked and that ends the segment nine minutes in.

After the commercial break; they look at each other and they copy each other. And yes; the copy can sell pain like the original even though the original wasn't selling pain. Stop stalling and advance the plot already! So Dipper writes a 2 with black marker on the hat; which even Stan shouldn't be fooled with; but I betcha he would. Copy no sells the name change, but does accept Tyrone; which Dipper accepts. Dipper wants to get down to business and wants Tyrone to take over the ticket stand while he's gone. Tyrone is all cool with that and they do dueling computer sheet plan outlooks; which Dipper then accuses the copy of being jealous and might try to turn on him. Tyrone points out that the clone cannot turn on him and even if that happens; he can just destroy him with water, and then they do dueling poking at each other. So Tyrone takes over the ticket counter while Dipper goes inside and breathes a sigh of relief. Dipper sees Wendy to make small talk as Wendy introduces as to Robbie Valentino (from "The Inconveniencing") complete with violin case and red bicycle. Robbie of course has completely forgotten the incident at the convenient store and shows off his guitar by playing it. It looks completely generic; but his playing is all right, I guess. Dipper gasps in horror as he has a dream sequence of Robbie and Wendy dancing, which is a total nightmare for Dipper; but straight out reality for the rest of us. Wendy calls Robbie a stupid, arrogant, fraud; which is equal to Nintendo Switch hater claiming that Switch can only run 5 FPS at 240p.. She loves him for the guitar and then walks over and punches Dipper in the stomach on-screen and Dipper goes down. Odd since face shots are allowed in the new Disney. And why should it matter? It still considered punching down on the child due to Dipper's age in comparsion to Wendy's. Wendy wants to marry Robbie and we return to reality (no, not really) as Dipper's cell phone rings. It's Tyrone claiming that he has the same jealousy fantasy now. So yes; Tyrone is going to turn on him, like that's a shocker. Anyhow; Wendy and Robbie decide to chill out on the couch and Dipper panics...AGAIN! So they notice the bicycle; and Tyrone agrees with the plan; but they need help. So they create a third clone in the copier room and it's number three. However; they realize that one isn't enough in case Robbie catches them; so Dipper goes back into the copier and scan's a third copy of himself.

However; the paper gets jammed; forcing Tyrone to peel him out and number four looks like a mess. Number three blows him off and Tyrone basically calls him out on ableism as he holds #4 like an infant. Number four makes noises; so Dipper wants to make another clone instead. Bigot. Scene change back to on stage with Soos and Pacifica Northwest singing Always Means Forever and Always is sung in such a high pitch that she breaks a plastic mug; which still causes the crowd to pop anyway. Grenda tells us that she used to be a singer; but she got the puberty genes that changed her voice into Papercut Peterson. That's kind of tragic. Pacifica gives Mabel the microphone and dares her to beat that one. She also claims that Grenda's voice sounds like a professional wrestler. Yeah; it sounds like Papercut Peterson from Kick Buttowski; who was also a professional wrestler. I'm just begging for Grenda to say "That little girl's mad" now; at Mabel. Grenda wants to put Pacifica in a headlock and make her feel pain! Just like third party developers want to see Nintendo is. Sadly; the Nintendo Switch sort of did that for them, bunch of morons...all of them. Mabel isn't done yet as she gets on stage and starts singing "Don't Start Unbelieving" and she is on point with this damn song. In a way; I'm disappointed, because "C Is For Cookie" would have been hilarious as Mabel swings the microphone cord and faceplants into the floor having no idea what a flip is. HAHA! Everyone is popping louder; which would have been funnier if "C Is For Cookie" was the actual song. One of the kids is swinging on the disco globe and I'm shocked Stan (almost said Stand for a second there) didn't just run in to peel her off. Pacifica is shocked and appalled as Dipper comes on stage and whispers to Soos. Soos then informs Robbie to go outside because his red bicycle is being stolen. Robbie (Why am I typing Roobie?) is pissed as he goes to the window and we see number three and number four riding Robbie's bicycle away; and somehow they remembered to ride helmets. Memo to BS&P: If soda can kill these guys; then head injuries are the least of their worries. This is what happens when you don't think your ideas out through. Robbie runs out of the house and chases them, and that is that. We will never see #3 and #4 again...(Until the end of the series, believe it or not) although Robbie will likely come back before this episode is over.

Dipper calls this a tough break. Geez; that is an understatement pal. I'm shocked Stan hasn't tried to bill him the $15 exit fee for this. Wendy's just confused as Soos decides to slow it down and it's a romantic theme being played. Everyone holds hands and we dance, dance, dance to their doom. HEEHEEHEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! POW! OUCH! Ummm...Wendy grooves to the beat, while Dipper is on the arm rest drinking the soda; which just gives away his age in a nutshell. If you wants to be a grown-up Dipper; sit on the seat of the couch. Mabel calls in and calls Dipper a goofus and tells him to ask Wendy to dance...after screwing him by Dipper trying to shut her up before hence. Ummm; Wendy can hear you Mabel. Oh wait; she doesn't care as she has her back turned to Dipper. Dipper stammers with the list like a stupid idiot. Chris Jericho, he is not. Dipper teases going over to her; and then runs stage left like a coward. Mabel is stunned as we jump cut to Dipper's room with Dipper and Tyrone doing dueling opposite pacing. Dipper calls the dance floor a minefield; which is a totally stupid analogy, even by stupid analogy low standards. There is Robbie and Stan to contend with. Spoiler Alert: We never see them again in this episode; which is odd for Stan actually. So they decide to just make more clones. Of course! There are now eleven clones (including Paper Jam Dipper) doing a montage with Dipper and generally yelling at each other in his room. Here's the biggest logic in this whole episode: If the copier is in Stan's office; how can Dipper make all those clones and not have Stan noticing? It took almost fourteen minutes for me to realize this. Dipper taps the pencil on the torch light to bring everyone to attention as Dipper asks if they know what to do. All the clones nod and the shadowed caps go into the party; one of them uses a green laser to put a dot on the wall to distract Soos. I don't know why; it's not like Soos cares about Dipper dancing with Wendy anyway. So they set up the scene with Wendy's CD mix and then I stand corrected as Stan is at the floor table grabbing with tongs what appears to be after dinner mints. One of the clones is fishing with a dollar bill as bait. Stan blows it off; and then proceeds to destory the table of marshmellows and chases after the dollar bill like a goddamn idiot. Still doesn't explain the big logic break in this episode; but at least they explained how they got rid of Stan in this episode instead of writing him out by teleport. So we head inside Dipper's room as #6 (whom I'm certain will be the leader that makes all the clones turn on Dipper) rings a bell and both Dipper and Tyrone are smiling at each other; because it's time...to dance, dance. POW! OUCH! Ummmm...

Oh; and Dipper claims that he has a plan. Yeah; I'll bet. Dipper pats his pocket and rushes downstairs into the hallway; and there is Wendy drinking soda next to a wooden chair. Dipper is panicky because they were suppose to meet on the dance floor in forty-two seconds. Wendy claims that she's waiting for the bathroom as Dipper got to his stupid idiot list as Wendy asks a question: If everyone was stuck on a desert island, who would the leader be. Dipper stammers like a stupid idiot, showing who it isn't. Wendy points out a man doing karate moves on the dance floor and calls him a lunatic. Bigot; and even more because Dipper laughs at it. Dipper talks about stretching for coconuts as we see a tall guyon the dance floor doing the moonwalk. Wendy shows off a picture of her looking like Anne Shirley with braces and large pants with her three brothers and Dipper calls her freak; and then catches himself. HA! Wendy don't care as Dipper talks about a birthmark on his forehead and he catches himself again in such a funny manner that Wendy is so inspired that she commands Dipper to show her right now. She chants it ev-an! Dipper then shows it and it's the birthmark of the Big Dipper; thus the nickname he has. Because Mason is such a bland and boring name, you see. Not a surprise; a lot of Kit fans don't think Kit Cloudkicker is his real name either, although the ones we gave him aren't all that bland. Wendy thought his parents hated him; and decides that they are freaks now. Apparently; Wendy got her braces taken out as a child later because she seems to not be wearing any now. So they toast on soda and laugh as out comes Pacifica looking like she wants blood. Uh-oh! Wendy goes into the bathroom and closes the door. Then all the clones storm in and demand answers to this outrage as they have been distracting Soos for fifteen minutes. Soos of course will never get tired of chasing that dot; but his body might. Okay; all Dipper had to do is say: "I found Wendy; we'll be out on the dance floor in two minutes." That's all he had to say. Of course; he says something so awkward that the clones instantly smell that he's holding them back and not going through with the plan. The clones admit that they were lying and they turn on Dipper and drag him away to end the segment nearly seventeen minutes in. Well; I'm not shocked at this; clones alway want to be human.

After the commercial break; we see Dipper thrown into a closet with a coloring book and cheese and crackers; just to show up Dipper for trying the "I can't breathe" spot. HAHA! Dipper angerly eats the peanut butter and crackers, as this was mistake #2 on my part. Tyrone proclaims that Dipper is unfit to lead; so he'll lead to dance with Wendy since he was in the longest in this world. I think we all know where is this going now. So yeah; all the clones turn on each other as Paper Jam Dipper is making noises again. Tyrone feeds him cheese and crackers to show his empathy side; but his mouth screws that up. Of course, Tyrone asks about Dipper breaking out of the closet and he just did. Tyrone is flustered; but Dipper runs towards the up of the stairs leading to the dance floor; and waves at Wendy. Number five grabs him and drags him back into the hallway so they can surround him again. Then we get a great moment: Dipper cuts a promo about being equals in every single way and if they fight; it will go on for infinity, so just give up. The clones sell among themselves and Dipper then punches Tyrone in the face and knocks him out! I think it was Tyrone. So everyone turns on everyone, as this is the most absurd clone fight in history, while Dipper channels Homer Simpson in like "That's it, I'm outta here!" while taping on his baseball cap the number seven. The clones realize it's Dipper despite Dipper claiming he's number seven. Even though number seven in on the floor getting beat up. No shock; the real number seven gets beaten down. Or; that would have happened, if Dipper's number seven paper was stapled! Then Dipper backs up as the clones stalk him; and he brings out a party popper and pops it. Golden paper flies; but the clones no sells it. Somehow; this causes smoke and sets off the sprinkler system. Yes; of all the things this shack doesn't work; the sprinkler system works like a charm. Maybe it's time to hire a photo copier inspector. So it rains and this destroys the clones, including poor Paper Jam Dipper whom they translated his noises into English and he's glad he died. What a monster Dipper is?! Dipper is relieved, until Tyrone shows up from behind and invokes the POINTY FINGER OF DEATH on him. Uh-oh! So we return to the dance floor as Mabel is literally hopping like a bunny as a dance move. Not the Bunny Hop; she's literally hopping like she is a bunny rabbit.

Pacifica is not impressed as Soos finally nails the sound effects board with the "BOOM~! You're roasted!" sound effect. So we have one more song left and the winner of this takes the crown. Mabel still wants to shake hands on this super fun party; but Pacifica simply insults her and walks out, and Mabel continues to listen with her ears the entire time. HAHA! No surprise that she doesn't have a clue as we return as Tyrone is trying to kill Dipper as Tyrone wants to dance with Wendy while Dipper refuses. They then hear Wendy giggling as they look out; and somehow Robbie has returned and they are having a blast together; causing Tyrone and Dipper to simply give up. HAHA! Both slide down the railing as Tyrone asks if Dipper wants any soda; Dipper is fine with it and they walk out. So we head back to the dance stage as Pacifica and Mabel are on stage with Soos. Stan returns as he got the dollar bill in his pocket. There is an applause-o-meter; just to assure us that Doofen did not invent it. Mabel gets a reasonable pop from the crowd in her first attempt at this; so a great effort all around. As for Pacifica; she does eye contact violence, and the crowd pops the exact same as Mabel, so it's a draw. But wait; if it's a draw, then Pacifica has to CHEAT TO WIN~! So she basically bribes Old Man Gucket; who somehow is sleeping on chairs in the shack, covered in flies and probably drunk; with a dollar bill, and he cackles and claps; and that's enough for Pacifica to win the crown. Mabel feels bad about this as Pacifica accepts the crown and addresses the crowd, calling Soos, Jorge. Pacifica offers an after-party at her boathouse right now; as they grab her, give her the football victory spot and run out of the shack, just like that. Mabel feels awful as she'll understand if Candy and Grenda want to leave. However; they want to call their mothers and sleep over because they loved how Mabel stood up to Pacifica and actually got a draw victory out of her legit, even if Pacifica had to cheat to win this one. Consider it a chink in Pacifica's armor. Candy shows off a magazine of cool boys and Mabel is so happy that she calls on Soos to DJ one more song as they are going to dance all night long. Apparently; Stan left for Pacifica's party as well, because he's a slimebag uncle. So Candy, Grenda and Mabel dance to their doom some more as we head up to Wendy's hiding place on the roof as Dipper hands out soda to Tyrone.

Now; if anyone has been following the storyline, you can predict the finish to this without even seeing it: Tyrone drinks the soda and dies because soda melts him into a mess; like all of the other clones. They see a shooting star as they open their cans of soda. They exchange notes on Wendy and agree that the Krackpotkin Plan was exactly what it says on the tin. Tyrone and Dipper agree with Mabel and Tyrone does an explosion noise to indicate that his mind blown. Which is really prophetic considering what is going to happen to him now. They toast (with Teddy Ruxpin sound effect, only more modern) and drink up. Tyrone dies in dramatic fashion as he yells at Dipper to not act like a wimp for his sake and Tyrone finally melts to death and that is that. Dipper pours out some soda pop, saying that he was the only one who understood and drinks up. Cut to the front of the shack as Dipper climbs down and looks into the window as Stan is counting money, Wendy is propped against the wall and having a great time; while Mabel is dancing with Candy and Grenda. Dipper looks at the list and rips it up for good. Dipper opens the door and goes in as Mabel already wants Dipper to meet Grenda and Candy as we jump cut to Soos on the keyboard testing out the sounds to end the episode at 21:34. Outside of a stupid logic break; this was fine. Although I was not impressed with Pacifica's debut. *** 1/4 (65%).


THE REVIEW LINE

Well; this episode was kind of all right and nothing really offended me or anything, even though the logic with Stan being a hawk on Dipper was completely stupid since he was dumb throughout most of it. Most so when the copier is involved since that was in Stan's office. Mabel carried this episode really well as usual; but I was not impressed with Pacifica's debut. There's little to distance her from Kendell from Kick Buttowski and she's just another "I'm not as good as I say I am and I need to cheat to beat the rookie" type of person, which annoys me now since I have seen this character way too many times and unless there is chrisma behind it; it becomes lazy. I hope later episode prove me wrong; but I'm getting the feeling right away that the love of Pacifica is mostly because they cannot stand Mabel, whom has proven her worth on this show already. Dipper was actually pretty entertaining in this; most so during the third act. The episode was animated really sloppy (the lack of arms in one scene was comically bad); but otherwise a solid episode. Oh; and the different planets list Dipper had was also stupid; but not as stupid as Stan. So....

Thumbs in the middle for this episode and I'll see you all next time.
