"Perfect"

By 4EverGreen, Sep 03, 2007

I can't believe nobody has written a review for this episode yet! :shock: I also can't believe that it took me this long to write my review for this episode but I've just been so busy recently! I have been Swamped with responsibilities that range from the really important to the really mundane! But now, I can talk about what I really love, this show and all it's funny moments! Birdman and Avenger part ways and Harvey tries to get a replacement. In the meantime, Speed Buggy is living up to his namesake, but to a dangerous degree! Or is he Not doing it on purpose as everyone thinks he is? One things for sure, the truth will be found out somehow! That's what I love about this show! It both honors And parodies the great Hanna-Barbara cartoons at the same time! How could anyone ask for anything better?! That's my review for This episode! Enough said, true believers! ;)moreless

- Reducto: So. Twenty years, huh? Avenger: Caw. Potamus: This blows! Who's up for a Hooter's run? Potamus: What? Hooter's? For the bird? It's an owl reference! Reducto: Big bosoms make me nauseous.
  EDIT SHARE
- Phil: You know what he needs? A mate. Finches are sad without mates; they won't type without them. Harvey: Plus, I don't think he understands English. Phil: Maybe I got a European Goldfinch by mistake. Crap! Nope! I think he understands plenty!
  EDIT SHARE
- Phil: What do you mean, he's not a good typist? Harvey: Well, he's too light. Can't push the keys down.
  EDIT SHARE
- Harvey: Does that make us criminal, or human... slash talking car.

  EDIT SHARE
- Harvey: So sorry we couldn't help out, but again, doing a will after you're dead is pretty much frowned upon. It's a legal thing. Phantom: That's not what the founding fathers intended. I know! I was there!

  EDIT SHARE
- This show contained some of the few shots of live footage we ever see in the show. Some of which was taken from the O. J. Simpsons chase.
  EDIT SHARE
- The original title for this episode was "High Speed."
  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (6)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Xandu/Zarog: Xandu and Zarog are from the planet Moger. Xandu and Zarog are using their ship to perpetuate a purple moss to cover Central City in an effort to take over the Earth.
  EDIT SHARE
- CHiPs: At the end of the episode, before the actual credits, all the characters freeze-frame while laughing and some fake credits begin to roll. This is a reference to the TV show CHiPs, in which almost all episodes ended with a freeze-frame with almost all of the characters laughing at something. The music and font used is also similar to the one from CHiP's.
  EDIT SHARE
- Speed Buggy: The title of the episode and the characters featured in it are from the the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Speed Buggy.
  EDIT SHARE
- Funky Phantom: The episode makes reference to one of the more popular, yet short lived Hanna-Barbera shows Funky Phantom. The ghost character shown talking to Harvey Birdman was Jonathan Wellington "Mudsy" Muddlemore. Daws Butler, who also voiced the Snagglepuss character, also voiced the "Mudsy" character, which is why Butler would reference Snagglepuss through the "Mudsy" character, and this is also portrayed in the episode through Mudsy's dialog.
  EDIT SHARE
- Scrappy-Doo: One of the objects Avenger throws into his box is a dead Scrappy-Doo from Scooby & Scrappy-Doo. The dead dog is from Johnny Quest.
  EDIT SHARE
- Bandit: One of the objects Avenger throws into his box is a dead Bandit, of Johnny Quest fame.
