The Muffin King

I remember those days after school back in the primary school days,when i wore those atrocious looking green shorts and that ridiculously heavy schoolbag,and the way i leaped out of those and out in front of the television as i waited for Dexter's Laboratory to come on at 6.30pm on Cartoon Network.

I was obsessed with Dexter's Laboratory back then,as chewed on my lunch or dinner,depending on what time the cartoon goes on tv.I knew every episode and the names of every character,and because Cartoon Network tends to repeat their cartoons i remembered the lines in some episodes.Back then the cartoon was just a harmless,innocent show with quirky characters.Hell,i even hummed the main theme of the cartoon wherever i went.However,i never actually realised the hidden messages in the cartoon,the subtle things they actually try to tell us under those lines,only now do i appreciate them as i watched them over at youtube.com.

Dont ask me how i even started watching it in the first place.Perhaps it was for nostalgia's sake,or the fact that i was desperate to kill time,but after watching old episodes of Dexter's Laboratory,it not only brought back fond memories but also the subtle messages hidden within.

I filtered the episodes,and "The Muffin King" is definitely one of,if not the best episode of Dexter's Laboratory.I love the stupidity of Dad,and how Dee Dee reminds me of Rachel and my sister combined.Dexter looks like See Hwee,and Dad like Martin.Haha,it just makes me laugh at the mere sight of them.Oh,and the Die Hard and the Star Wars parodies are just fabulous.I love Dexter's Laboratory to death,right up there with Transformers and Tom & Jerry!

[Dad hops into the kitchen while Mom is baking his favourite muffins,and creates a chaos around her]
Dad,"Oh,what's this?What's that?Oh,look at this thingie!And those (Something)!What does this button do?Ah,help i'm gonna die,im being eaten alive!"
Mom,"What have i told you about bothering me when i'm in the kitchen?"
Dad,"Erm,let's see.Er,dont?"
Mom,"That's right.So what do we do?"
Dad,"Er,leave?"
Mom,"Mmm-hmm."
Dad,"Haha,okay.What are these things?"
Mom"OUT!!!"

Dad,"Psst.Dexter,son.Could you come here for a moment?I'd like to have a word with you."
Dexter,"And just what do you want?"
Dad,"Dexter,i am your father."
Dexter,"Ah!That's not possible!Oh wait,no you are right."
Dad,"So join me!Come to the Muffin side!Dont resist Dexter,it is your destiny!"
Dexter,"Never!"
Dad,"You will get the muffins for me."
Dexter,"I will get the muffins for you."
