"The Flibber Flabber Diet" is the fourteenth episode of the first season of Chowder and the fourteenth episode overall.

Synopsis[]

Truffles feels like she's put on a little weight, so she demands that the whole catering company go on a diet, too.

Plot[]

When Truffles thinks she (and the other three) are fat, she demands everyone go on a diet. Mung then makes Flibber Flabber, but it tastes terrible and only Chowder enjoys it. Believing the diet to be pointless, Mung and Shnitzel hope Truffles will call it off if she cannot eat as much as Chowder. However, she complains to Mung that she can't eat it, and he needs to make it taste better. Mung then makes lots of food including Flibber Flabber Pancakes, Flibber Flabber Sandwich, boiled Flibber Flabber and much more, but none of it pleases her and he soon refuses to cook anymore. Mung then decides to make the kitchen twice as big to trick Truffles into thinking she's lost weight. It worked. Unfortunately, when they shrank the place back down, they shrank it a little too small and made Truffles think that she got really fat then says they're going back on the diet.

Running gag: When Mung tried to make flibber flabber taste good, Truffles spits it in his face.

 Quotes[]

Truffles: I got a little junk-junk in the trunk-trunk! A little booty-booty, so fresh and fruity, mmm! I shake my rump-rump, and I'll do a little BUMP-BUMP!

Mung: Chowder, life lesson Number #1. Never tell a woman she's fat.

Shnitzel: Ooh!

Truffles: That's it! I can't eat this slop (to Mung) and it's your fault. You need to make it taste better.

Mung Daal: But this stuff is straight nasty.

Truffles: And I thought I marry the chef not a cry baby.

Shnitzel: (pointing at Mung) Ooh!

Mung Daal: Stop doing that.

Trivia[]

  • Truffles and Mung have broken the fourth wall. Truffles had broken the wall because when she and Chowder were in map form, she asked why are the dots following them. Mung had broken the forth wall by looking at the camera and said "...and get that camera out of my face." Mung broke the fourth wall again when he cut the path Chowder had gone.
  • How did Truffles hear Mung call him even though they are already gone?
  • The show writers originally planned to have Truffles be told by a friend that she was getting too fat around her backside.
  • Chowder loves the Flibber Flabber which everyone hates in this episode, but he hates the Mevilled Eggs in the Mahjonng Night episode which most of the people ate without hating it.
  • Truffles asking Mung if he "gets a sick kick out of keeping (her) fluffy" is likely referencing Gabriel Iglesias. "I'm not fat. I'm fluffy."

Goofs[]

  • If Filbber Flabber makes people lose weight, how did Chowder gain weight from all of it?
    • It could be possible that the diet part of the food was implying that it gave the feeling of fullness and made one eat less, two things that almost never has happen to Chowder.
  • Truffles could have easily figured out that the building was bigger or at least thought she was smaller than the building itself.
  • Truffles makes an error with food names by saying "Peanut and Butter," rather than "Smeanut and Blutter."
    • Truffles make two errors cause she technically already had Peanut Butter (correction Smeanut Blutter as shown above this), so there was no reason to have a stick of butter.
  • Mung refers to Chowder as a kitty in this episode.
  • This is the first puppet credit sequence without the phrase "Ya' don't know what you're missin' if ya' aren't in the kitchen".
  • This is the second time that He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is referenced in the show when Chowder calls himself as such. The first time was in Stinky Love.
