Reality TripEpisode Number: 37 Season Num: 2 First Aired: Friday June 9, 2006 Prod Code: 996 |
School's out and Danny has nothing on his mind except a relaxing, fun and a ghost-free summer vacation. His dream is quickly destroyed when Freakshow, the villainous ringmaster with ghostly minions, escapes from jail. Danny, caught off guard, is forced to forfeit his summer plans when Freakshow manages to reveal Danny's secret identity to the entire world! To make matters worse, Freakshow kidnaps Danny, Sam and Tucker's families and uses them as pawns in this evil game of revenge. Now, on the run and hiding from everyone, Danny must rely on his powers to stay free, fulfill Freakshow's ransom demands and save his parents. With Tucker and Sam by his side, Danny travels cross-country to track down three "Reality Gems," which, when combined, will give Freakshow the power to turn Danny's world into his very own nightmare circus! As the sun sets in the west, Danny's enemies close in on him and Freakshow forces the hands of time closer to the fate of DOOM!

Look closely: When Dash and Paulina ask Danny and his friends if they were supposed to be on a cross country trip at the end, Dash has his arm around Paulina. This could mean that they're a couple or really close friends.
(edit)
George Goodchild uses a different style of drawing starting from when Danny, Tucker and Sam fall after being transported to Freakshow until Freakshow starts changing the world with the Reality Gauntlet.
(edit)
Starting with this TV movie, each Main Villain of Season 1 has reappeared in the series at least once.
(edit)
This is the first Danny Phantom TV movie, in which the main villain is both human and a main villain of a previous episode.
(edit)
We learn in this episode that Amity Park is not Florida.
(edit)
Danny: The explosion for the gauntlet must have messed up my ghost powers.
Sam: I'll get us out of this one...MOSH PIT!!! (throws Danny into the crowd) (edit) Tucker: But Thursday's All-You-Can-Eat-Night!
Danny: Not if we're in jail! (edit) Sam's dad: (Tucker's dad) This is Fenton's fault, pass it down.
Tucker's dad: (To Jack) This is Fenton's fault, pass it down.
Jack: (To Maddie & Jazz) This is- WAIT A MINUTE!
Maddie: Settle down now Jack, it's alright. This whole business about Danny being the ghost boy has got me baffled and confused as... you!
Jack: Imagine... our own son has had ghost powers all this time and has kept then a secret from us, but we love him. I wonder why he didn't trust us enough to tell us?
Jazz: Hmm let me think... (Does an impression of Jack) "Hey Maddie, let's destroy the ghost."(Does an impression of Maddie) "No Jack! Let's disect the ghost!" (Does another impression of Jack) "I know, let's catch the ghost and rip it apart molecule by molecule!" (Speaks in her regular voice) You guys are so understanding. (edit) Danny: (After the Gem of Fantasy transforms three nerds) Awesome!! The Gem of Fantasy turned three regular nerds into superheroes! They can help us rescue or parents!
Tucker: You need to read more comic books, those aren't superheroes! THEY'RE SUPERVILLAINS!
(The three geeks start attacking) (edit) (After Danny saves everyone on the roller coaster and changes everything back to normal with the Reality Gauntlet)
Jack: Danny!
(Danny gasps and sees Jack & Maddie walking towards him with stern faces)
Maddie: Young Man....
Danny: I...I'm sorry. (Jack suddenly hugs him)
Jack: We're very proud of you, son.
(Maddie hugs Danny)
Maddie: Oh! Oh, my baby boy! (Gives him kisses on the cheek)
Danny: But I lied to you. Over and over again for a really long time. If I were you guys, I'd be furious.
Maddie: Well, of course you lied to us. We never gave you a reason not to.
Jack: All this time, we've been yammering on about destroying and disecting ghosts. I'd have been terrified too if I were you!
Maddie: We love you, sweetie. You.
(Danny smiles warmly)
Jack: Whether you're ghost, boy, or something in between.
Danny: And I appreciate that. More than you guys will ever know. (Hugs both of them, then looks down at the Reality Gauntlet; frowns) Or will ever remember. (Erases their memories of him being half-ghost) (edit)
Sam: I'll get us out of this one...MOSH PIT!!! (throws Danny into the crowd) (edit) Tucker: But Thursday's All-You-Can-Eat-Night!
Danny: Not if we're in jail! (edit) Sam's dad: (Tucker's dad) This is Fenton's fault, pass it down.
Tucker's dad: (To Jack) This is Fenton's fault, pass it down.

When Danny, Sam, and Tucker were at the transformed Goth-a-Palooza, Sam actually tore up some of the teddy bears, does this mean she just murdered someone? Those bears are all really Goths, as in flesh-and-blood humans.
(edit)
At the end of this episode, Paulina and Dash look like a couple, but at the end of the pendant episode when Paulina turned into a dragon, she looks annoyed with him.
(edit)
Now that Danny knows his parents will accept the fact that he's half-ghost, why did he erase their memories about it? Wouldn't be better for him to let them know it?
(edit)
When Danny is hanging onto the outside of the space shuttle, he rips a huge hole in the side. He shouldn't have been able to do that; space shuttles have many layers of metal and other forms of insulation to protect it during the flight throught the atmosphere into space, and the flight back to Earth. You can see the metal is extremely thin, and Danny is able to dig his fingers into it. THAT is also not possible.
(edit)
At the end, Freakshow uses the Gem of Life to change the world into his twisted version. Shouldn't he have used the Gem of Form, or the Gem of Fantasy?
(edit)
Danny: From now on, it's: no more pencils, no more books, and no going ghost so my parents can't tear me apart molecule by molecule.
This is reference to the famous summer vacation chant "No more school, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks." (edit) Mr. Manson: We were watching "Extreme Nanny Makeover" when we found out your son was a ghost!
This is probably a parody to Extreme Makeover. (edit) Freakshow & Lydia: The Joker & Harley Quinn
These two have a partner ship similar to that of The Joker and his female partner, Harley Quinn, from Batman. Both Lydia and Harley dress in a similar manner to their male employers and are questionably loyal to them. (edit) Auto Jack: Appearance
This is a reference to the auto pilot in the movie Airplane, when an inflatable pilot flew the plane. (edit) Dash: Hey! Fen-Tony, Orlando, and Dawn!
This is a reference to the popular (though notoriously cheesy) '70s band Tony Orlando and Dawn. This possibly refers to Tucker's horrible singing ability and/or Sam's voice-over Grey Delisle's professional singing career. (edit)
