Knitting Pretty

I have to say, I love a good cartoon. Among my absolute favourites is The Powerpuff Girls. So I figured, where better yack endlessly about PPG than here! I first noticed this cartoon when promos were being shown for it on Cartoon Network. I didn't have cable back then myself, but my aunt did, and I happened to see that the show was coming, but then didn't get to see it when it actually started. A year or so later, I happened to catch the show, and have thought it great ever since! I am going to go through some of my stand out episodes from the 80 that have been created.

In season one, there is an episode called 'Cat Man Do' where a really cute - seriously this cat is obsurdly cute - who is evil uses some form of mind control to have the Professor help it to steal a diamond and try to shoot Townsville with a lazer. When the cat is using it's claws to cut the class case housing the diamond, it is just so very, very cute, that this has always been a favorite episode.

Two episodes that go hand in hand as stand outs here, because the centre around the same amusing topic. The way Mojo Jojo talks. His redundant double-talk is hilarious, at times, and both these episodes really play on that. In Season two, there is an episode called 'Los Dos Mojos' Bubbles - my favourite character -  is hit on the head, and when she awakes, she believes she is Mojo Jojo. So she talks like him, steals his clothes, and has a confrontation with Mojo about who is really Mojo, with the both of them repeating themselves over and over. Mojo's adamant denials of speaking in this way is pretty funny, but honestly, it's Bubbles with her attempt at a sinister voice that really makes me giggle in this one. The other Mojo episode I was referring to is in Season six, called 'Mo' Linguish'. Mojo has been ordered to teach a class at a community collage, so he teaches his pupils, and eventually the entirety of Townsville, to talk like himself. I thought this was pretty damn funny, if at times somewhat irritating. I really liked the way they ended the episode, with Talking Dog teaching Mojo to speak properly. That's very much a giggle inducer for me.

The other PPG episode that has always been hilarious to me is actually the special 80th episode, 'Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!' which I personally thought was just awesome. I really laughed when Blossom detailed her plans to the other two about how to stop all the bad guys getting their hands on the 'Key to the World'. It was just so funny, a really tightly crafted episode, I thought. So there you have it, my favourite episodes! Now go watch some of the show, you won't regret it!
