"The Moldy Touch" is the 22nd episode of Season 1 of Chowder and the 22nd episode of the series overall.

Plot[]

Chowder tries to help Mung Daal make Nomidoes but ends up ruining it every time. After the fizzel spice runs out, as Mung and Schnitzel are too scared, they send Chowder to go to the cellar. Chowder is excited but gets scared when swarms of rats run out and a giant talking one runs to freedom. Mung quickly catches and tosses Chowder in the cellar, while getting Schnitzel to lock it after he tries to run. Chowder protests but is swayed when Mung and Schnitzel trick him with flattery.

While in the cellar, he discovers Funjl, a mold pixie that gives Chowder mold, saying, "It's way better than any other spice around!". Chowder decides to use the mold on the nomidoes. When Mung sees them the next day, he cries (Funjl lies and says he's crying tears of joy.) Chowder decides to spread the mold to make everything “better,” and fuses with the pixie, making a giant mold monster. Mung Daal decides to use the Emergency Yeast and becomes a monster himself, and fights Chowder and Funjl. The pixie, in turn, reveals his plot that he'd cover the whole world in mold, not spice. He prevents Chowder from breaking free and duels Mung.

After a long grueling fight that destroys half the city, Chowder and the pixie defeat Mung and the latter reveals he once used the pixie's 'spice', in order to impress his cooking master, Lo Mein (his name was not mentioned in the episode.) Funjl is not interested in Mung's story and tries to proceed with his plan. However, Chowder, now infuriated, takes back control and beats up the shocked pixie while unknowingly returning to his normal self. Mung ends up putting the pixie back in the jar, so he doesn't cause anymore trouble. Chowder shakes the jar until Mung tells him the conflict is over.

Mung praises Chowder for his efforts and says he'll make a great chef, but punishes him for the trouble by “putting him in charge” of being grounded in his room.

Trivia[]

  • The battle between Chowder/Funjl and Mung/Yeast parodies Japanese monster movies, and Mung represents the hero like Godzilla or Rodan.
  • When Chowder is looking for the fizzle spice, he walks past a skeleton wearing the same clothes as him.
  • When Mung mentions that the only way to get the fizzle spice is to go down the cellar, dramatic music plays showing reactions by Truffles, Gazpacho, Panini, Endive and a mugger turning to where the cellar is, with the mugger's victim quickly running away during his reaction.
  • This is the last puppet credit sequence to end with the phrase "Ya' don't know what you're missin' if ya' aren't in the kitchen".
