  • Danny has to get a passing grade on his english exam in order to get on the computer and stop Technus from taking over the web.

    Even though I'm not too big of a Technus fan, I thought this episode was very exciting. Danny and Lancer bonded a little bit, and after working hard, Danny earned a good grade with his help. I liked how Sam turned out to be the better Doomed player of all three, and she helped her friends stop Technus before he could retirve the last key in the game. Jack was so funny when he thought he should give Danny back his completely destroyed cell phone, too. Plus, Virtual Reality Danny was really way cool. I really enjoy watching this episode.moreless

    Cool! Virtual reality is even better when ghost powers are involved! I wish I could do that to my computer. And virtual Danny is soooo cute as Fenton AND Phantom! I liked the line that went "Master of long-winded introductions! Do you ever stop talking about yourself?!" LOL! It was funny! And I can't believe Danny aced a test that the other kids had way longer to study for...oh, wait yes I do. He's really smart! And it was so nice of him to be so sympathetic about Lancer's "sister". Smart and nice! Yet another fantastic episode I really, really enjoyed watching! Survey says...I'm done!moreless

    Wowzers!! This was a great episode, even though people don't really like it that much! Technus is sooo boring and Danny makes such funny jokes about it! "Master of long-winded speeches. Do you ever stop talking about yourself?" Hehe!! danny cracks me up and this episode was no exception! Oh and the virtual Danny Fenton and Danny Phantoms were really good-looking!!:D Hehe!! I absolutely thought this was a terrific return of Technus and that game looked awesome!! I loved how Tucker didn't notice how Technus was in the game!! HA!! People thought this episode was mediocre, but I thought it rocked!moreless

    This is was an okay episode. Like I said before, I don't care too much for Technus or the way he announces all of his plans to the world. The part about this episode that I enjoyed, was the part where Tucker and Danny were treating Sam as if she didn't know anything about video games, but she was really a master at this game called Doomed and she was able to beat every opponent. It was funny to see Danny and Tucker's reactions when they found this out. A part I didn't like, was when Technus was trying to be 'hip.' That part annoyed me greatly.moreless

  • Whenever I watch this episode I wonder what my teachers really think of me like how Mr. Lancer really thinks of Danny. I mean I feel sorry for the big guy, he's like Vlad, an old guy in his probably over fourties, all alone. I just wish Danny figured it.moreless

    In this episode Danny has to Ace a make-up test while defeating technus in the Cyber World. Like most Cartoon Teachers who you might think is a total pain like Professor Rotwood from American Dragon, or Denzel Crocker from Fairly Oddparents, but Mr. Lancer is just a teacher who wants all his students to succeed in life

    • How did Danny know how long it would take Technus to get to the final level of Doomed? Edit
    • How was Danny able to start playing Doomed so fast on Mr. Lancer's computer? He would have had to log in and get a game started. Edit
    • Danny was wearing the Fenton Helmet when he realized that he could also use his ghost powers in the game like Technus, but when he goes ghost, the helmet suddenly disappears. Edit

    • The hat Tucker wears on his head is revealed to be a beret. Edit
    • This episode can be seen on the "Nick Picks Vol. 4" DVD. Edit
    • Apparently, if Danny goes invisible and goes into the computer, he will go iside it. He won't just go right through it and go through the wall. Edit

  • Quotes

    ADD QUOTES
    • Technus: I, Technus, shall use my ghost powers and new found gaming prowess to win the game and spread my intellect to every machine in the world! My, that was a long speech. Edit
    • Danny: (In the video game) Sweet! My powers are the ultimate cheat code! Edit
    • Danny: (After Technus escapes from his house, after he escapes the Ghost Zone) Oh, great. Constantly getting zapped in Doomed is bad enough, now I have to go after that loser?! Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Technus: Power Cube The power cube that Technus got in Doomed was similar to super mushrooms on the Mario Bros. games. Both make the user larger and more powerful and, like both, when you are hit, you shrink in size. Edit
    • Episode Title: Teacher of the Year Teacher of the Year is an award given to teachers who put a lot of effort in teaching their students. Edit
    • Tucker: You need to get the seven keys to the apocalypse. The seven keys to the apocalypse is likely a parody of the "seven chaos emeralds" in the famed video game, Sonic the Hedgehog, where you get the chaos emeralds to gain ultimate power, but here, it gains you ultimate access to the World Wide Web.
