Clone High Episode 2: Election Blu Galoo Review

Synopsis

The episode opens on Cleopatra working on the final ceremony she can do as class president, due to reelections coming up, and her being a president for the largest amount of terms she can do. She wants to continue this though, so she runs out crying over it to get the attention of JFK, who she manipulates into running for class president so that she can get him to change the amount of terms someone can do, then relinquish the power to her.

Meanwhile, Principle Scudworth is busy with his multi-million dollar idea, dubbed "Cloney Island". This idea involves him stealing all the clones and putting them in a $2,000,000 amusement park right under the board of shadowy figures noses, though there is one problem with this plan. He doesn't have $2,000,000. So, in order to get this cash, he hires a corporate sponsorship for "X-Stream Blu" (Which is nothing more than pancake batter mixed with Blue house paint, advertised as a sports drink), turning the school into a large ad.

Scudworth and his robot pimped out with the sponsorship money.

Back with the clones, Abe decides to run for president as well, though, he focuses on important things such as helping the students with their needs, rather than JFK's popularity keeping him ahead, so Abe ends up failing, until "X-Stream Blu" decides to help him in order to advertise their product even more than it already is, this includes advertisements, X-STREAM stunts and having Gandhi chug down the bottles of the "X-Stream Blu" sports drink. This makes Abe go far ahead in the polls, making him become popular (along with Cleo swapping sides to Abe), and Gandhi turn into a smurf from his Blu goo chugging.

Brainy really let himself go.

Joan retaliates with Abe getting with Cleo from selling out by working with JFK to sabotage Abe's campaign, creating videos of Abe eating babies and such for slander.

What a monster!

Election day comes, and Abe and JFK argue over the campaign, while some special guest judges (Including Marilyn Manson), which ends with Abe doing one last stunt. Before Abe can kill himself of a large destructive ramp, Gandhi's poor eating choices catch up with him, and he falls off of the tall beginning of the ramp. Marilyn moves over and diagnosis Gandhi with malnutrition, and a discovery of what is really in the Blu Goo is made, along with Abe taking away his sponsorship of it, and the company taking back the money given to Scudworth. Gandhi asks how he can become relieved of malnutrition which causes Mariyln to break into song.

Then the election starts, with Abe winning the election until a stray dog walks on stage, causing everyone to applause for it, which made the dog become the winner of the election, which caused Cleo to walk over to the puppy and hit on it to continue her scheme, but this is where it ends.

Rating

I found this episode to be hilarious, more so than the first episode, as it was a tad more developed, though, unlike the first episode, they didn't have as many jokes relating to the historical figures themselves, such as how one of the Elvis twins ate a thermos of tranquilizers in the first episode, or how Van Gogh was calling a teen help hotline for his troubles about how he cries when he is by himself and how he clings to his sanity. Due to this, I rate this to be:

Clone High Episode 1: Escape to Beer Mountain: A Rope of Sand Review

Way way back on November 2002, a television show first aired on MTV, this television show was called "Clone High". Despite being a fairly well animated and written show, it only got mediocre reviews, and the station cancelled it after 13 episodes. The plot revolved around 5 teens that were cloned from famous guys and ladies, as the show says. These characters are (from left to right) JFK (The jock), Cleopatra (The beauty queen), Abe Lincoln (The awkward person), Joan of Arc (The goth), and Gandhi (The party animal).

Synopsis

In episode one, we start off at what I presume to be the beginning of the school year for them, as Abe, Joan and Gandhi remark about how much they have changed over the summer. After this, Abe and the gang see Cleopatra in the hall as Abe ogles over Cleo, speaking of how beautiful she is to Joan, while Joan "subtly" drops hints about how she is in love with Abe. Cleo sees Abe and invites him to JFK's party, in which he has to provide the beer for according to JFK.

Meanwhile, the principle of the school (Named Cinnamon Scudworth) is informed by a group of shadowy figures over seeing the clone project that he must write an essay proving that he understands how it is to be a student at Clone High, or he will be terminated immediately.

Everything goes as you would imagine, with Abe bringing non-alcoholic beer when his efforts get thwarted to bring real beer (though, no one actually notices, and infact still do stupid things in the name of being drunk), Cleo making out with Abe which makes JFK get jealous (not to mention that Joan was just about to confess her love to Abe when he did that), the police arriving to shut down the party, and Principle Scudworth and his robotic assistant who calls everyone "Wesley" crashing the party to get an inside look of teenagers.

I found the first episode of clone high to be enjoyable and a nice hook into the television show, not to mention it's kickin' theme song. Personally, I will be watching the rest of it to see if it gets any better from this point forward, and I will be doing a review of the rest of the episodes.

Episode Rating: 7/10
