Danny Phantom

King Tuck

Season 2, Episode 13, Aired 3/17/06

Episode Summary

Tucker's running for student body president, but no one's paying his campaign any notice, and that includes his campaign managers: Danny and Sam. On a field trip to a museum to look at ancient Egyptian artifacts, everyone is surprised that the pharaoh in question looks just like Tucker. And when Tucker looks in a ghostly mirror, his image brings the pharaoh's minion, Hotep Ra, to life! Hotep Ra bows before Tucker and becomes his servant, urging him to not stand by anymore and be ignored. Tucker's new attitude -- with help from his new king's scepter -- gets him even more respect than he expected when he accidentally transports his friends and classmates to ancient Egypt during a school debate. Now, Tucker is a king, and it's hard not to enjoy the perks. Unfortunately, the servant Hotep Ra has his eye on Tucker's throne and some sinister plans in mind for the students of Casper High.moreless

I think the plot could have been more creative, but the animation sure was awesome! :) I liked seeing everyone in their Egyptian outfits. I was also glad to see Danny use the ghostly wail and proud of him for how he tricked "King Tuck" into giving up the Septer. ^_^ Go, Danny! But I think Tucker should have at least learned his lesson in the end (not to be so stubborn and selfish) and that this episode could have had a better storyline overall. But at least it had time travel in it! Now I think of this every time I read about Egypt.moreless

This was an okay episode, but it wasn't my favorite. I don't like Hotep Ra and I don't care for the sphinx. My favorite scenes include: Danny and the gladiator fighting in the Circus Maximus, Danny fighting the sphinx and the other ghost animals, and the scene where the ghost dog was dragging Danny across the sand and his pants were coming off (lol). My least favorite scenes include: The debate between Tucker and Dash and all the scenes where Tucker is yelling at Danny and Sam because they were changing his campaign. They were only trying to help, he didn't have to be so mean.moreless

I like when Sam is trapped under the coffin lid. "I love a coffin as much as the next Goth, but the novelty's wearing thin." The episode just did not have much to offer to me. Other ones have been better. It is still Danny Phantom so that will never change. In that case I will always watch the episode if it is on. But get more excited when other ones are on. I love the history part of it because I love history. But I do not Tuckers friends would not listen to him. And I did not like how Dash would pound people if they did not vote for him or cheer.moreless

Well in this episode Tucker turnes evil. The students and teachers at Casper High get sucked back in time to ancient Egypt and have to work for him (Tucker). Danny battles a spinks (sp?) and an evil mummy. In the end it all turns out ok. Pretty boring right. I didn't care too much for this one. I've seen better episodes then this on Nick and Danny Phantom.

At a meuseum, Tucker finds out that he is a descendent of an ancient Egyptian pharoah. A ghost servant appears and says Tucker is master, but he is actually evil and using Tucker. Danny must save him from his own anger from not being listened to.moreless

Another episode where Tucker causes problems just because he gets mad at something. Last time he was jealous, and this time he was mad at not being heard or listened to. Still, I thought it was okay. It wasn't exactly the same scenario. Oh, but we got to see the ghost wail again. Too bad it wasn't effective against that sphinx. BTW, that sphinx is the exact same one from FOP in Abracatastrophe when Crocker made it come to life. Again it proved to be a powerful thing. I thought this ep wa kinda funny with the whole mini-skirt Fridays and toenail clippings. Not my favorite storyline, but I thought it was above-average.moreless

- When Danny is being dragged around by the dog you can see his boxers. How can this be if the suit he put on is a one piece jump suit? Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Title Picture: Tucker is holding the Scarab Scepter and has glowing red eyes. Hotep Ra is wrapping Danny in mummy wraps. Edit
- This is the second time Butch Hartman made a sphinx come alive in the two series he has directed, the first being in the Fairly Oddparents movie, "Abra-Catastrophe." Edit

- (As a ghost is attacking the school) Tucker: Danny? Listen-- Danny: Not now, Tucker, I'm busy writing in your voice! (hands paper to Sam) Would Tucker say it like that? Tucker: But-- Sam: A little more nerd, and a little less suave. Edit
- Tucker: (Referring to his technology) It was hand-made in Japan! Star & Paulina: Did you say "hand-maiden"? Star: Why does that make me want to beat him up. (She & Paulina angrily stomp towards Tucker) Did you just call us hand-maidens? Paulina: And why do I feel like I know what your feet smell like? Tucker: (To himself) Stupid scepter. I specifically asked for a total mind wipe! Why doesn't anyone listen?! (To Danny & Sam) Hey, guys! Wait up! (Tucker dropps his technology and runs out of the auditorium; Star & Paulina chase after him, screaming) Edit
- Tucker: (To the "gladiator") Congratulations, warrior, on defeating your ghostly opponent. How did you accomplish that? Danny: I just had the advantage of surprise. (Danny pops out of the gladiator's armor and snatches the scepter from Tucker) Like I do now! Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Hotep Ra: (Turns into locusts) Similarly to the Marvel Comics Villain, Swarm, Hotep Ra can turn into a swarm of insects. Unlike Swarm, he turns into locusts instead of bees. Edit
- Hotep Ra: Appearance He seems to be loosely based on the Spider Man villian, Doctor Octupus. The loose wrappings on his back resemble the four mechanical appendages connected to that back of Dr. Octupus' back. Hotep Ra can even use these wrappings to pick up objects, similar to what Doctor Octupus would be able to do with his mechanical arms. Edit
- Comicbook: Captain Marvelous The comic book the the boy was reading "Captain Marvelous" is most likely a parody of the short lived Marvel superhero "Captain Marvel" Edit
