"Whosoever loves money, never has money enough. Whoever loves wealth, is never satisfied with his income."
— Bok Choy


LarryBoy and the Yodelnapper! (sometimes known as The Yodel Napper or The Yodelnapper!) is the third episode of LarryBoy: The Cartoon Adventures. It teaches a lesson in the dangers of materialism.

Plot

LarryBoy is excited over the new Hula Heidi dolls, but Archie is less impressed considering LarryBoy owns all of the other "Hula Friends" dolls. LarryBoy is devastated that the dolls are sold out, but Archie tells him that his favorite yodeler, Einger Warblethroat, is performing. However, the performance goes wrong when Greta Von Gruesome kidnaps Einger and takes him to her castle and demands the delivery of all yodelers. With the help of Archie, LarryBoy sneaks into the castle under the disguise of a yodeler. There, he releases the trapped yodelers, but the group falls into a pit and are attacked by an army of Hula Heidi dolls. After defeating the dolls with the help of the yodeler Einger, LarryBoy apprehends Greta Von Gruesome and she is arrested for her villainous actions. The five rescued yodelers then put on a "Tribute to LarryBoy" concert, yodeling the LarryBoy theme song.

Remarks

  • The seating during the yodel event is somewhat odd. Archie was originally in the front, but he was then at the balcony with Larry.
  • This is probably the first time Larry develops a crush on Vicki.
  • How do Greta and LarryBoy know each other? It's possible Greta knows who LarryBoy is from reading newspapers, but it's never explained how LarryBoy knows about Greta.
  • This is also the first time in the LarryBoy series where somebody is heard crying. This will happen again in the Super Short that accompanies it.
  • Junior mentions that Awful Alvin, the Alchemist, and Lampy are in jail, but he forgets to mention Mother Pearl.
    • Speaking of Awful Alvin, his head appears as one of the members of the audience at the Bumblyburg Yodeling Festival, despite being in jail.
  • The audience member who shouts "C'mon, yodel already!" sounds similar to Scallion #3.
  • The toy sheep is different in the Daily Bumble image.
  • The continuity for the seating is off:
    • Herbert and Wally are seen in the back, but Wally is also seen next to Ma Mushroom.
    • Bob is seen on Vicki's right, but another character is seen on Bob's spot in a closeup.

  • During the Crazy Clay Monster scene, there are two characters look like a recolor of Bob without the hat. It is unknown if they are tomatoes or other fruits/vegetables. (see image)
  • Several websites state this episode was released in 1998, which is false.
  • Unless they're already sold out, Larry could just buy a Hula Heidi doll from an online shopping site.

Goofs

  • During the scenes of the yodeling festival, you can see that the second character next to the beet on the balcony is headless.
  • The words on Greta's newspaper are missing when she is first reading it, but they show up in the next shot.

Inside References

  • This is the second time Larry created a monster by accident.
  • LarryBoy's scream was reused from the previous episode.
  • This episode has Larry dressed up as a yodeler, which had happened before.
  • One of the dolls LarryBoy uses to attempt to stop the clay monster is Miss Pretty Pretty, Michelle's doll.
  • Just like Madame Blueberry, this episode talks about the dangers of being greedy.

Real-World References

  • The Crazy Clay Monster was based off of the Batman villain Clayface.
  • The drum riff that plays when the dolls glare angrily at LarryBoy and the yodelers sounds similar to that from the Terminator theme.
