The 2nd episode of the show and a good one.

Talent Suckers: Ami and Yumi have their talent sucked from them by the Talent Suckers. It was funny how the Talent Suckers thought they can play music when they stink at it.

Yumi: Give up sucker

Vlad: Over My Un-Dead body.

Ole: The girls must be in a bull fight aganst El Diablo. Ami and Yumi looked cute in madador outfits, And it was funny that every time someone said Los Gatos Feo a cat screeches.

Yumi: Adios Los Gatos Feo(Cat screeches)

Mini-Puffs: Kaz replaces the girls with babys. How dare Kaz make the girls babysit those drooling little monsters, but a nice episode all in all.

Yumi: Kaz, we haven't slept in 5 days.

Talent Suckers was unusual, Ole was weird and Mini Puffs was highly original.

This episode for me was better than the pilot episode, but I wasnt so interested by the plots. This episodes plots mainly involved Kaz.

Talent Suckers was a very ridiculous short but I seemed to be slightly interested by the premise of it. The ending was scary when Kaz was some type of a vampire.

Ole had us seeing Ami and Yumi fighting their lives against a bull. They try to escape but with no luck from the nice music mexicans. Kaz here got into trouble again when the mexican guy wanted him to be the new "bull"

Mini Puffs was one of the best shorts in the series that I have seen so far. This time, Kaz decided to have babies to bring up Puffy's ratings, but he forgets who is Puffy. So, Ami and Yumi quit and later realise that they weont be famous. Kaz also learnt a lesson about his new contract.

An average episode for me, but better than the previous one... Kaz seemed to take things to far in this episode.moreless

Mini-puffs is OK, the other two cartoons pedestrian.

6.0

By jboice0, Nov 27, 2005

Second episode of the series has two cartoons with a storyline I don't particularly care for: the group travels to a remote spot in the world and runs into bizarre locals. Here they go to Slovakia and run into talent vampires. As noted by other, this plot's been done before- and here nothing new is added. The best part is when Ami and Yumi try to figure out what it is that talent suckers would steal, and we hear the "think" music from Jeopardy. It takes them awhile to figure it out!

The second cartoon has Ami and Yumi recruited for a bullfight in Mexico. Bugs Bunny wrote the book on bullfighting cartoons, in my opinion, so this wasn't really necessary.

The final cartoon is the best, as Kaz comes up with two mini-versions of Ami and Yumi- AmiYumi babies, anyone? This one has some originality to it. So watch this for the music, and for Mini-Puffs.moreless

This Episode Is Really Good. I Like Talent Suckers Because It Used 1 Of My Favorite Songs, Urei. Ole! Was Also Good. They Take A Trip To Mexico To See A Bull Fight, But, Instead, They End Up Fighting The Most Vicious Bull Ever. A Bull Known As El Diablo. Mini-Puffs Was Funny. Kaz Replaces The Girls With 2 Babies. After Feeling The Torture Of Babysitting, The Girls Decide To Quit. But After They Quit, They Realized That Puffy Would Be No More. So, They Decide To Go Back To Their Rock Star Lives But Only If Kaz Signs Their Contract First. I Give This Episode An A For Comedy & Music.moreless

ADD TRIVIA

  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (5)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- When Ami and Yumi are trying to figure out what the Talent Suckers stole from them, you can hear the "Jeopardy!" theme song in the background.
  EDIT SHARE
- "Talent Suckers" is nearly identical to the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Count Koopula." The only difference is the ending. In "Count Koopula," Luigi told a purely idiotic joke which caused all of the heroes (with the exception of Mario) to bust up laughing. Here, Kaz turned out to be a Talent Sucker himself. There is also the plot hole of "How is this character a vampire here, but a regular citizen in every other episode?" in both cartoons. Also in "Count Koopula," Italian food containing garlic saved the day.
  EDIT SHARE
- El Diablo in Spanish means "the devil". So when the bulls name is mentioned it is being refered to as "The Devil".
  EDIT SHARE
- Yumi: (After turning Ami into a dog) Uh-oh...
  
  Near the end of the 2nd "Remote" segment, Yumi accidently turned Ami into a dog. On The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, in "Cher's Poochie," Mario accidently switches minds with that of Cher's dog, and says the same thing as Yumi said, when he realized he switched minds. Uh-oh...
  EDIT SHARE
- Name: Gloomy Sunday
  The name Gloomy Sunday is a Hungarian suicide song written by Rezsô Seress. When the Hungarians heard the song, a lot of them committed suicide thus earning it the nickname "Hungarian Suicide Song".
