"Chicken Soup for the Troll" is an episode that premiered on May 7, 2016 with "The Family Pickles" on Disney XD.[2]
It is the sixty-sixth episode in the series.
Synopsis[]
When the Queen comes down with a case of Yodeladyflu, the 7D set off to find the cure.[3]
Plot[]
"We're Working on It!" |
The episode starts when Happy is announcing the beginning of an annual race. But before the race starts, the Queen has to sing the Jollywood anthem. However, as she is about to sing, she instead yodels, which brought confusion to the audience. Six of the 7D has then planned out to find the cure called "Jollywood Jane chicken noodle soup" while Bashful guards the queen so that she would not fly away.
Featured Song[]
Continuity[]
- Doc's Mohawk had appeared again. The first was "Bathtub Bashful", the third in "Dr. Jingleheimer", the fourth was "Nicely Done and The 7D", the fifth was "Planks, But No Planks", and the last in "Shapeshifter".
- This episode marks the first time the Glooms take days off, as well as one of the episodes where they do not plan anything evil.
- This episode might chronologically take place after "Jollyball Anyone?", as it features the Gnomes in the one side, and Jollywood in the other in the scoreboard, as shown in several shots.
Running Gag[]
- As Queen Delightful flies higher into the sky with the Yodelladyflu, Lord Starchbottom goes into a panic for a majority of the episode, continually running around stadium.
Trivia[]
- This episode reveals the national anthem for Jollywood. Unlike in real life, one must squat during the national anthem.
- Also according to this episode, the queen must sing the national anthem in any events.
Cultural References[]
- "Chicken Soup for the Troll" is a pun on the name of the popular book series Chicken Soup for the Soul.
- The voiceover as the chicken soup hut is introduced references Orson Welles' infamous "Frozen Peas" outtakes. Maurice LaMarche once again uses his Orson Welles impression for the voiceover. The words "Yes, always" are included, which was what Welles said in the outtakes.
- The songs "Who Swiped the Soupy" and "Did You Swipe the Soupy" are based on the song "Who Stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar?".
Goofs[]
- The overview of Jollywood Stadium in the opening shot of the episode shows a blank scoreboard. However, in subsequent shots featuring the scoreboard, it displays GNOMES on one side and JOLLYWOOD on the other. In an earlier episode, "Jollyball Anyone?", the 7D with Starchbottom square off against the gnomes in a game of Jollyball.
- When the 7D return to the stadium with the soup, the facade of the entrance appears disjointed compared to at the beginning of the episode.
- When Doc reaches Queen Delightful with the soup, the Queen is somersaulting through the air, with Bashful hanging on a fishing pole beneath her. Since she pulled Bashful up into the air with her, he should be flailing about madly, or at least bobbing up and down.
