Plot
Eric and Alan switch their bodies, causing Eric, in Alan's body, to show popularity.
Why It's Not Amazing
- This is an Alan, in Eric's body, torture episode, due to Eric switching his and Alan's body, for the sake of popularity.
- Misleading title card: The title card features a first half containing a man having white hair and an ugly face, especially the pink eye, but in this episode, it features Eric and Alan switching bodies.
- The opening scene starts with students from Sidekick Academy jeering Eric for his unpopularity, which heavily implies that he is an absolute jerk in many episodes.
- This episode is also mean-spirited to Eric, including Alan in Eric's body:
- When Eric asks Vana about going on a date, she slams on Eric using a locker, likely due to her falling in love with Alan.
- Master XOX uses a weapon to shoot Eric, because of his unpopularity, and it happens twice.
- Pamplemoose gives Eric in Alan's body an F- for being unpopular.
- The next day, Alan, in Eric's body becomes tortured during his routine; such as not functioning the snooze button and mechanical arms ruining his face.
- Eric and Alan fight, because they wanted to switch their bodies, using XOX's gadget that sucks people's brains, since Eric, in Alan's body refuses to.
- When Maxum Brain refuses to let Alan in, he ripped off his shirt.
- As a result of Alan being stupid, Vana becomes disgusted, Pamplemoose gives him a failing grade, and the mayor gives back the key.
- There are some gross-out moments:
- Eric vomiting in the opening scene, albeit off-screen.
- Eric, in Alan's body shows his ear hair, filled with a small amount of earwax.
- During the bathroom scene, when the robotic hands remove Alan's face, he shows his skinless face.
- If Eric, in Alan's body is popular for not being amazing, he is shown to be fat, and defecates his pants.
- Alan, in Eric's body and Trevor pick their noses.
- Stupid ending: After Eric and Alan revert back to their normal bodies, the former states that he will no longer need his respect, expectations, nor his personal hygiene; showing that he will lose a life and get sick often.
Amazing Qualities
- Trevor, Vana, Kitty, Pamplemoose, and the Mayor are the only likable characters in this episode.
- The scene where Alan, in Eric's body nervously plays the piano is hilarious, alongside the scene where he acts like a monkey.
- While the ending is stupid, at least Master XOX shoots a cannonball at Eric, creating a satisfying ending.
