Fractured

Episode Number: 24    Season Num: 2    First Aired: Saturday August 7, 2004    Prod Code: 257-331
When Robin accidentally wrecks the R-Cycle while pursuing a nasty thug named Johnny Rancid, he winds up with his arm in a cast... and doubt in himself. Lucky for Robin, he gets a helpful visit from his number one fan: a short little weirdo from another dimension known as Larry the Titan. Unfortunately for Robin, Larry's reality-bending powers cause more problems than they fix.

Quotes

add »
Starfire: Robin, you are feeling okay?
Robin: The universe is falling apart because I made another stupid mistake. How would you feel? (edit)
Beast Boy: Edud! Sruoh rof taht erats nac I! (Dude! I can stare that for hours!) (edit)
Starfire: Beast Boy, wonderful! You have recaptured your mouth!
Raven: Yeah, but I think he put it on backwards.
Beast Boy: Pleh! Gniyas m'i tahw dnatsrednu t'nac I!
(I can't understand what I'm saying! Help!) (edit)
Raven: I've been able to reduce your injury to a minor fracture. You're still going to have to wear that cast for a few weeks, though.
Robin: Grr! How could I have made such a stupid mistake? (edit)
Cyborg: It was an accident, man. Accidents happen.
Robin: Not to me they don't. (edit)

Trivia

add »
1960s Robin - While Larry is bouncing around the tower celebrating his name, in one short sequence he appears as Robin from the animated introduction to the 1960s Batman TV show, starring Adam West and Burt Ward. (edit)
Robin shouldn't have his cast on over his glove. He should have taken off the glove first. (edit)
Starfire calls Larry a dopple-ganger, but dopple-gangers are supposedly evil. But Larry isn't evil. (edit)
One of the fleeing citizens seen after Larry "breaks reality" is a young man who resembles Gilligan from Gilligan's Island, complete with red sweater and white floppy beach hat. (edit)
Just before the Titans are swallowed by a whale, Beast Boy's mouth is back on for a second, when it was meant to be separated from his face. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Beast Boy: Backwards Speech
When Beast Boy speaks backwards, it's an allusion to the backwards speaking dwarf in Twin Peaks. (edit)
Robin: Yay...
When Robin twirls his finger in a sarcastic show of excitement, it's a lot like in Austin Powers when Austin says "Whoopdeedoo Bazil." When he doesn't understand what Bazil is talking about and why everyone else is reacting excitedly. They twirl their fingers the exact same way. (edit)
Robin: Chainsaw Arm
When Larry tries to fix Robin's arm, Robin's arm turns into a chainsaw. In The Evil Dead, the character Ash had a chainsaw replacing his hand when he also lost function of it (he hacked it off with said chainsaw). (edit)
Starfire: Welcome to Earth, small amusing doppleganger!
A doppleganger is a mythical creature from Greek Mythology. It is the shadow creature that every person has. Only the owner of the doppleganger can see it. It stays directly behind the head of the owner and does not appear in mirrors, so basically, you don't see dopplegangers. Seeing one's doppleganger is a sign of bad luck. They are friendly and warm to their owners and give feedback on ideas in a sort of telepathic way. It rarely appears to friends and family, and it is a sign of ill fortune to the owner when it does. Larry even appears in Robin's head, and in addition has that squeaky annoying voice. Larry appears right after Robin fractures his arm, as well. (edit)
Raven: Hairstyle
While they were running from a T-Rex, Raven's hairstyle looks simlar to Marge Simpson of The Simpsons. We can even go as far back as The Bride of Frankenstein. (edit)
