Gold can't buy everything...

"Perfect"

By amdragrocs, Nov 30, 2007

Jake is not happy because Brad has more money than he does. But, when he protects a leprechaun clan from some hobgoblins, they give him some of their gold. Jake's grandpa warns him to return it before he gets a taste for it, but, as usual, Jake doesn't listen. He gets a part time job with the leprechauns, and for a while everything seems great, but when it all goes terribly wrong, Jake will have to confess to his Gramps or the magical world is one step closer to its doom. It was a really funny episode in my opinion. Jake learns that gold will buy a lot of things, but that true respect will never be one of them, because that can only come from within. Just remember that money isn't everything, and you will save yourself all the trouble Jake had to go through. An amazing episode that was very well written.moreless

Love this ep!!

I love this episode! How Jake gets a thing for gold, and ends up working for Brocamus to earn some extra cash. (I also love the beginning when their at the acarde, and Jake's last dollar won't go into the machine :D). I love how he gets into the whole 'bling bling' lifestyle, with his gold track suit and scooter xDD so cute! But I also liked how they tied in the Huntsclan into this episode, so cool and that the Huntsman actually sees Jake as a human, not knowing that it's actually the American Dragon. And Jake almost blows it, but Rose saves the day! And in the end, Jake learns that gold isn't a way for respect. Lesson learned, yet funny!moreless

Jake's sad that he has no money, so he goes to work for a leprecaun for gold. He's foolish because the leprecaun was working for the Huntsman.

I loved this episode because it was exciting and cool. What I didn't like about this ep. was that Jake was foolish enough to do all of this because having no money got to his head. But this was my favorite ep. of them all for some reason and it seems no one else likes it which makes me soooooooooooooooooo mad but I liked it alot anyway.

"Superb"

Its all about the bling-bling for Jake in this episode were Jake learns money can buy alot of things but not respect. This was a funny and action packed episode everyone will like.

It starts out after Jake is teased by Brad because Jake has no money. On the way home Jake runs into some leprechauns in trouble. After Jake saves them they give Jake some gold and offer him a job. Jake declines at first but then later decides to work for them despite Grampa's warning. After a few jobs Jake, Trixie and Spud are totally golden. But after a bad deal that involved the huntsclan Jake must right his wrong.

A very shiny episode.moreless

"Superb"

By CancerTheCrab, Sep 18, 2006

i liked this episode, the begining was funny with his crumpled doller, i hate when that happens. the gold clothes was a little to much but i thought he looked cool with the gold sun glasses and the gold in his hair was cool too. he kinda turned into a snob once he got the gold, which i didnt like. it must have sucked to have given the skull to the hunts man, and i was suprised that the hunts man fell for such a obvious trap, but it all worked out int he end and i like that. so really good episode!moreless

Attack the dragons instead! Jake: Did I mention, the signing bonus? (Trixie and Spud bring out two gold scooters) But a little extra hurt on the big dude (talking to a giant) and there's a pair of golden boxer shorts for you.
