"Everything Breaks" is the first half of the first episode in the sixth season of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.

Plot

As Billy behaves more reckless than ever and cannot stop breaking everything in sight, Mandy thinks he should go some place where he can release all his urge to destroy until he gets tired of it.

Why It Breaks

1. Billy is at his absolute worst here, as he keeps smashing almost everything he sees - including his bed, the ceiling, throws his cereal and bowl out the window, flattens the bus' tires and even burns down a town replica he made - causing water to flood the classroom. His voice is also very annoying and his screaming can get on your last nerve.
   • To add insult to injury, he doesn’t get punished for his actions making him a karma houdini.
2. Why would there be a place where you can destroy as much as you want? The psychologist could have just hypnotized him into not doing it, but instead he gets sent to a place where he can destroy as much as he wanted.
3. Billy shows no remorse at all for breaking almost everything he sees, along with flattening the bus' tires, flooding the school and throwing his bowl of cereal out the window - nor does he apologize or fix the broken things.
4. Bad moral: Billy says "It's fun to smash stuff", which is false.
5. A bit of gross-out humor, such as when Billy had multiple pencils up his nostrils and ears and him having a lot of snots when crying.
6. Lord Pain and the school psychologist serve no purpose to the episode but filler and why couldn't Principal Goodvibes call the police on Billy for using a laser gun on school grounds?
7. Bad ending: Billy reveals to Irwin, Grim and Mandy that he learnt it's fun to smash stuff from Lord Pain and then Grim, Mandy, Irwin and Harold (his father) run from them ending with Lord Pain smashing the screen.

Qualities That Doesn't Break

1. Grim, Mandy, Irwin and everyone else are still tolerable characters.
2. The animation and voice acting are still great.
