Rewatching Nightmare Time And Listing Things That Aren't Appreciated Enough (3)

Rewatching Nightmare Time and listing things that aren't appreciated enough (3)

Jane's A Car

the opening music video, most of them are at least a little underrated, but this one is both a banger and hilarious

Jeff's literature professor character, who, as far as I'm concerned, after his treatment became the principal of Hachetfield High

All the double entendre in the first half of the story

The "Intimate" joke at the start, and also Paulkins

Call back to Santa Claus Is Goin' To High School

Tom actually gets it on with his possessed car, I know that's he joke, but we really should take a moment to process this fully.

The car puns from both Tom and Jane ("behind my back seat", "drives me crazy")

For that matter, the whole plot is a backseat driver joke

The way Jamie and Kim did that last line

The Witch In The Web

Pamela is an awful person but I commend her choice in men

The fact that the mantra of the Hachetmen is literally Sam Reimi's three laws of horror

Wiley's jacket is stolen from one of the alternate timeline Holloway's he's murdered

Willabella's monster form is likely a reference to the other mother from Coraline

The credits track is basically a distrack Webby wrote for her brothers

Hachetfield as reddit sleep talking

The Hatchetfield Ape-Man

the British accents

Joey staying in character as Konk while muted pre-twist

Hidgens hating the British (seriously, this feels like something we need to talk about more)

"It's hopeless, Ted. You never learned how to yes-and!"

Jeff portraying Chumby as an actual ape-man by putting on a fuzzy vest that matches his hair color

Watcher World

Watcher World has a snack literally called eye candy, I want it.

All of Blinky's park characters, just, they're all so good.

Blinky's sniggles living in pure agony even compared to other sniggles.

The Papa Sniggle glasses.

Quiplash being described as a teen aphrodisiac

Madam Iris gets a distinct mention from the other park characters.

Blinky taking a moment aside from his murder plot to kiss Bill and tell him he loves him.

barker!Blinky being the objectively best Blinky voice.

"And Blinky can't stand this contrived sappy-dappy bullshit!" <- me when I'm watching something and no one's died in a while

James miming the gooey blood gushing from Blinky's wound.

Daddy

That last shot of the opening song where the care-bears turn in the Lords in Black, brilliant

They gave Frank a dog just to kill it, seriously, the fuck?

The brown and blue color pallet of Sherman's regular clothes actually working really well

How well they set up the in-universe toys as believable brands

Jaime being the goat this episode

Barry Swift manages to be developed past just The Man In A Hurry while still entirely revolving around being in a hurry (his ex-wife left him because he was in a rush to start a family, that's fucking amazing comedy writing)

Ted "Doomed by the goat's narrative" Spankoffski appearing just to die by several gunshots (one of which being to the nards)

The specific use of the phrase "inbred" to describe the Hachetmen who killed Sherman's father makes me think the Metzgers were directly involved.

Sherman's "I've outgrown you, mother" line is raw as fuck and a great climax for the reveal that he was more aware than anyone knew

Killer Track

Jae's performance as Kale

False Lashes needs to be another fandom in-joke

How good the black book prop is

Duke owns a cat, seriously, why does no one talk about this?

How damn cool the idea of a sentient, predatory sound is

"By popular demaaa-AA-aaa-AA-aand"

Kale's death, that was badass

Forever and Always

The fact that at least this version of Hidgens can legal officiate weddings.

Sylvia, seriously, we need to talk about this character more.

The shitty fan metaphor.

Paul refuses to live a life without cheese.

"It's the cheapest place in town without bed bugs, it wasn't rocket science, Ema."

"She doesn't love you!" "WHO KNOWS I JUST MET HIM, HE SEEMS ALRIGHT!"

Corey, on mute, dabbing his eye with a hankie at the ending like he did at the beginning.

Time Bastard

Hidgens is in some way utensiphilic and has somehow had relations with Siri, also, this was enough to make TED uncomfortable.

Jeff being the best Tinky (fight me)

The fact that the future CCRP never considered the fact that people would want to screw a perfectly obedient artificial humanoid that could look like anyone (This might actually be the most unrealistic Hatchetfield thing ever)

Joey's overall extra hammy performance this episode.

Nick's unique ending narration that almost gives the vibe that Tinky is the one telling the story.
