Head Fruit (Teen Titans Go!)

Head Fruit
Beast Boy, this is why we can't get your brain to expand because of your horribly executed flanderization
Series: Teen Titans Go! Part of Season: 3 Episode Number: 342 Air Date: May 7, 2016 Previous episode: Kicking a Ball and Pretending to Be Hurt Next episode: Yearbook Madness

"Head Fruit" is the forty-second episode of the second season of Teen Titans Go!, and the ninety-fourth overall episode of the series.

Why We Can't Get This Episode Out of the Clouds

1. Bad Title: The episode has nothing to do with head fruit but is really about Beast Boy trying to get smarter. The title really comes from the fruit that is growing from the tree Beast Boy’s brain planted.
2. Rehash: This episode is sort of a rehash of Brain Food as it forcefully makes Beast Boy dumber than Patrick Star from the bad seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants and him trying to increase his intelligence to be well-liked.
3. Beast Boy’s head rattling because his brain is the size of a pinto bean makes no sense.
4. We also get Cyborg shaking Beast Boy and singing “La Cucaroucha” which looks rather painful.
5. Robin and Raven warn Beast Boy he should do brain activities because having a bean-sized brain is bad for him.
6. Beast Boy’s brain hating him makes no sense, it’s his brain and it’s already a part of his body, his brain should love him.
7. The episode also insults hobbies as the way Beast Boy puts it “It’s like a job without getting paid”, sure, hobbies are work but they’re often fun.
8. Plot Hole: How is Beast Boy’s brain able to plant a tree in Beast Boy’s head.
9. The scenes with the tree growing is very painful:
   • During the scenes, Beast Boy is shown to be severe pain and not being able to move. Viewers can’t help but feel sorry for him.
   • The Titans also ignore Beast Boy’s pain and suffering and play in the tree like young children, they build a swing and treehouse and Starfire harvest the fruit the tree produces to make juice. This is incredibly selfish because the Titans’ added weight makes the pain worse for Beast Boy.
10. After this, Beast Boy’s brain runs out of Beast Boy’s head, climbs the tree it planted and goes in the sky.
11. The Titans try to catch Beast Boy’s brain and it’s disgusting because it gets its fluids on the Titans.
12. Bad Ending: Beast Boy’s brain is gone forever and Robin replaces his brain with a maraca.

Redeeming Qualities

1. Despite his actions, Robin was a likable character.
2. Beast Boy’s brain getting Beast Boy pizza is admittedly heartwarming.
