TTG Episode 133

Before I start, two thoughts based off of tonight's We Bare Bears and Power Puff Girls Reboot:

Bears thought:  There needs to be a show (probably on food network) called "The next great Benihana's Chef" (Title pending) where it's a game show with the Chef's having to compete by showing off their cooking moves.

Power Puff thought:  If there isn't one already (which I'm pretty sure there might be), there should probably be some sort of porn fan fic or manga series based off of the Power Puff Girls where a lonely/younger (in his 20's) Professor Utonium tries to make the perfect girlfriend/wife/woman, but then adds in the Chemical X and gets that, but with super powers...and I may or may not have just summed up the plot to the manga "A.I. Love You" by "Negima" and "Love Hina" creator Ken Akamatsu...hunh...

...on with the review!

Finally A Lesson:

Robin is sad that no is taking his suggestion box seriously by just writing stuff about he smells.  So he resorts to writing his own about teaching life lessons.

Raven:  Can it be about friendship?
Beast Boy:  Screw that, I'm gonna hang out with some cool skater dudes.

But, it turns out that the cool skater dudes are also taggers, which Beast Boy doesn't want to do, so they ditch him, but the other Titans come back for him because true friendship.  However, Robin's not giving out that life lesson because it's boring and already been done.

Cyborg:  What about how cheating is wrong?
Starfire:  Or not to play in abandoned refrigerators because they'll close and kill you because you can't get out.
Robin:  Those are also boring and have already been done...except the fridge one, that's good to know.

So Robin gives an actual life lesson that won't become BS when you're an adult, how to make money through rental properties.

Aw, this is the unnamed rental property episode?  I thought it would be them playing Monopoly.

The other Titans don't like this because it's boring and Robin uses words like Equity.

Starfire:  Which is another word for the horses.

But then Robin says that equity means money, so they're in.

Step 1:  Location.

Robin shows the Titans a big swanky place with a door man...which is right next to the run down apartment complex that they're trying to get to build equity with.  Also, villains live there.  Robin still goes with it though and puts in a low ball offer, which eventually gets accepted, so now they own a building for the cost of $500,000, which freaks the other Titans out since that's a lot, which brings us to the next step.

Step 2:  Financing.

In actuality, they only have to pay 20% of that, which is still $100,000.  They get this by tricking Batman into giving them money to build a crime lab.  The other 80% they get from a bank loan, but first they have to see if they have good credit.  By now the other Titans are bored, so Robin sicks dogs on them named "Bad Credit" and "Not planning for the future" and other such names that bite BB, rip off Cyborg's arm, and bite Raven in the butt.  So now they're on board since Robin's speech is less painful.

Step 3:  Being Landlords

Or, given the condition of their rental property, slumlords.  Because they now own a rental property, they must also be handymen and fix the various problems of their tenants, or else they won't give them money.  So they do in order to get that money that won't really mean anything until 30 years from now, which they will use to pay for their old people medication.  But, Robin finds out something that he didn't know before buying the place, the building is rent controlled.  For those who don't know what that means, it means that their rent is below market value, and they can't do anything about it, since evicting them would be illegal...but then they do it anyway by beating them up and saying that them paying such low rates is criminal.  So with the villains gone, they can rent out apartments at market value, which they do to the cool skater dudes from earlier.

The episode then ends with Robin saying you can learn more about this by going to your local library or talking to a real estate agent.  And with that, we have learned a life lesson.

No new updates on upcoming episodes, except that ninjitsu in one title is spinjitsu in another, so maybe legos are involved.  I don't know, either way, see you Saturday.
