Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero is an animated series on Disney XD created by Sam Levine (Tarzan, Bolt) and Jared Bush (Zootopia, Moana).When his parents get stuck in an alternate dimension called The Most Dangerous World Imaginable, suburban teenager Penn Zero learns a few things. First, that his parents don't sell life insurance, but are actually "part-time heroes" who travel to other worlds to save the day when that world's heroes aren't able to accomplish the task, thus keeping the multiverse in balance. Second, he has inherited their job while they're gone and will now be going on missions with his friends Sashi Kobayashi and Boone Wiseman. And third, he'll be facing off against "part-time villain" Rippen and his minion Larry every step of the way, who just so happen to be his art teacher and school principal, respectively.The inspiration for the show is a combination of the two creators' childhoods. Levine's father worked in a New York City movie theater, while Bush thought his father was a generic government worker, only to be told one day in his teens that he was actually a field agent for the CIA, as was his grandfather. The concept was developed during a lunch break and later pitched to Disney Television Animation.The series premiered with a Christmas episode on December 5, 2014, with the show beginning its regular run on February 13, 2015. On July 16th, 2016, it was announced that the second season will also be the last, with said season premiering on July 10th, 2017 and concluding two weeks later with the one-hour Grand Finale "At the End of the Worlds".Most of the show's staff went on to Tangled: The Series and Big Hero 6: The Series.

comment
Tempting Fate: When the heroes are turned into stuffed animals in "Baby-Pocalypse", Penn comments that they can't get hurt, only for Boone to accidentally rip Penn's arm off when they high-five as a result of Boone's palms being covered in Velcro. In "Brainzburgerz" the kids are hanging from a banner in the mall and Penn assumes they're safe because zombies can't untie knots. Cue zombie sailor. Penn and Rippen both do this in the last episode. Rippen tells the heroes return to Middleburg and he'll spare their lives. Penn responds its three against two with the odds in his favor. Rippen zaps in several villains from the other universes. Rippen asks if they have any last words. Captain Super Captain zaps in and triumphantly asked if someone called for him. Rippen scoffs at the idea of one superhero only for other allies to zap in as well.

comment
Exactly What I Aimed At: In "Larry Manor", Phyllis fires a blast that doesn't hit Phil and he mocks her for missing. It's then revealed she was aiming at a stalactite that falls on Phil. At the climax of "Plantywood: City of Flora", Penn seemingly misses when throwing a cactus-dart at Rippen. He cut a slit in the pesticide bag, giving Rippen a dose of his own medicine.

All There in the Manual
 Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: The creators occasionally reveal interesting details that aren't mentioned in-universe. The machine the heroes use for interdimensional travel is called a "Multi-Universe Transprojector" (or MUT for short). "MUHU" stands for "Multi-Universe Hologram Uplink". The student president from "Balls!" is named Alex and the bespectacled girl Penn dances with in "Lady Starblaster" is named Matilda. The seahorse warrior Sashi zaps in as in "Chicken or Fish?" and "Fish and Chips" is not a Oceanaquariopolis citizen but an outsourced army general who works for the prince. Similiarly, the crab creature Boone zaps in as is not part of any existing species. Argelblat isn't evil but is percieved as such due to culture clash. The mass-scale brainwashing in "Brainzburgerz" was only the first step in a much larger plan that ground to a halt once the serum was discovered.

comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The promo for "The Princess Most Fair" and "Hail Larry" convinced viewers that both episodes would be musicals, forming a "musical event". However, the latter did not have any singing. Promotional material described the eponymous heroine of "Shirley B. Awesome" as one of Sashi's childhood idols but the actual episode establishes that Sashi had never heard of her before their first meeting.

 Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero / int_20a14df0
comment
Wrong Genre Savvy: Happens as often as the gang are Genre Savvy. In "Plantywood: City of Flora", Penn follows a chain of clues starting with a mysterious female client at the start, while Sashi wanted to investigate Redwood's (Rippen) last known whereabouts. Penn's plan does ultimately work, but following Sashi's plan would've been much faster and more direct. In "Chuckle City", the heroes are cops in a Cloudcuckooland dimension. Throughout the episode Sashi continually tries to use Cop Show tropes like Hot Pursuit and Car Fu, despite Penn pointing out that they won't work because this particular world runs on Rule of Funny rather than Rule of Cool.

Evil Teacher: Whenever he's not teaching art class, Rippen is a part-time villain (who aspires to be a full-time one). Larry is both the principal of Penn's school and Rippen's minion. He's not very evil in either capacity, though.

Gender Bender
 Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero / int_2d88e42c
comment
Gender Bender: In the episode "The Princess Most Fair" the main cast get hit by this because of the forms assigned by the MUT (Penn is a princess, Boone is a fairy godmother, Sashi is a knight, Rippen is an evil sorceress and Larry is a female magic mirror). Similarly, in "Rip-Penn" Boone is a housemaid while Sashi is a male chemist. Larry is a female general in "The Ripple Effect" and a blonde cheerleader in "Ultrahyperball". Brought up but defied at the start of "Zap One"; Penn mentions that he won't be switching genders during his 50th zap. At the end of Penn's 2nd Zap as the Prince of Oceanaquariopolis, his inability to tell the genders of his subjects makes him unsure about his own gender.

comment
Hidden Depths: Boone seems carefree but is actually very self-conscious and has anxiety issues. He's especially sensitive about people perceiving him as obstructive or useless because he thinks it's partly true. "The Princess Most Fair" reveals that serious, cynical Sashi sometimes feels lonely and wants Penn and Boone to be more affectionate towards her. Penn is surprisingly manipulative, often exploiting opponents' emotional weaknesses to defeat them. Larry's not as oblivious as he seems and has a few Stepford Smiler tendencies.

False Flag Operation: In "Totally Into Your Body", Boone tells Rippen and Larry that he was going to shoot the cure syringe into the heart to save Penn (with the villains realizing that if he does that it will kill Penn and hence letting him do so). Once they move out of the way Boone shoots the sub into the heart instead, letting him enter the bloodstream and travel directly to the brain.

Out-Gambitted: In "Cereal Criminals", Penn offers to give Rippen a good teacher evaluation in exchange for information on how to find the Milkman before 3pm. Rippen agrees to this and goes off on a ridiculously long speech about villainy that seems like it's going to lead into something important. However, once the clock strikes three he reveals that there was no point to the speech and that he was only stalling for time. The heroes reply that they had predicted the trick, and had set the clock forward an hour beforehand in preparation for it.

Pinball Projectile: "Brainzburgerz" has one of the zombie-turning burgers ricocheting inside Rippen's helicopter, reaching the cockpit and landing in Larry's mouth. In "Flurge Blurgle", a shot reflected off Penn's collar ricochets around and breaks both Sashi and Boone's handcuffs and shackles. In "3 Big Problems", during a game of dodgeball, Sashi returns Boone's serve so that it ricochets and hits Boone from behind, leaving him confused as to who hit him.

Actor Allusion
 Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: Rippen's forms and dialogue occasionally allude to Alfred Molina's previous roles. He's an octopus in the ocean dimension. " That Purple Guy" reveals that the Konkrod People are octopus-like creatures in mech suits "Temple of the Porcelain God" has him repeating his famous line from Raiders of the Lost Ark. In "I'm Still Super!" his Powered Armor has four robotic tentacles. In "Lady Starblaster", the title character is voiced by Sigourney Weaver; the episode thus makes a few references to the Alien series, such as somebody telling her "Get away from her you witch!", and revealing at the end that she has a second mouth similar to the Xenomorphs. Blaze is voiced by Sean Astin, who played Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Naturally, he nearly dies by falling into a volcano. Sashi's father, played by George Takei, takes part in a mission as the captain of a spaceship. Super Amazing Bouncy Ball, voiced by Curtis Armstrong of Dan Vs., has an anger management problem and lashes out at those who wronged him.

Catastrophic Countdown: "Flurgle Burgle" has what appears to be this (much to the heroes' shock), but turns out to be just the microwave counting down to when the popcorn is done.

Bait the Dog: At first it appears that Rippen's parents Axalon and Hedwin and younger sister Vlurgen were calling to celebrate Rippen's birthday in the episode "Mr. Rippen". But it becomes clear they were using calling on his birthday as an excuse so they can mock him for his failures as a villain while rubbing his sister's success in his face.

Interdimensional Travel Device: The Multi-Universe Transprojector (or MUT) is the machine inside an abandoned theater that the heroes use to zap into different dimensions. The villains' equivalent is in the Fishstick on a Stick restaurant next to the theater. "Save the Worlds" introduces a Super Wrist-Gadget version of the MUT that can zap a group freely between worlds.

Combat Pragmatist: Mission only have one specific objective that needs to be fulfilled, so the heroes often circumvent unnecessary fights by fleeing the moment their opponent is even briefly incapacitated. Additionally, in situations where a confrontation can't be avoided none of them fight fair: Penn uses tricks and distractions, Sashi uses below the belt attacks, and Boone uses Loophole Abuse.

Body Horror: During "Ninki Ninja Fight Town", Rippen eats a special hors d'oeuvre that greatly increases his muscle mass. However, it increases his left arm so much, it explodes and a sickly purple arm pops out in its place. He also grows a small leg out of the back of his head. However, he is still able to beat the Giant Mecha trying to defeat him.

Awesome all maintain their appearances and abilities, regardless of the universe they appear in.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: There's a quick shot of Dr. Hissy's schedule when he tells his secretary to cancel his lunch; the most prominent activities listed on it are pilates, yoga, "me"-time, brunch with Mrs. Hissy, pottery class, and "private snake business". The title card for "Totally Into Your Body" is an anatomy diagram accompanied by Walls of Text. Pausing and zooming in will reveal that the text starts off formally describing the functions of specific organs then segues into unrelated topics and Buffy Speak.

Never the Selves Shall Meet: In "Back to the Past of Future Balls", all characters who go back in time wear disguises to avoid being recognized by their past selves. The good guys wear fake mustaches and the bad ones wear fake beards.

Game-Breaking Injury: "Mr. Rippen" reveals that Boone's mother, Wendy, was the wise man for Brock and Vonnie's team, but suffered a leg injury that prevented her from helping them when they were trapped in the Most Dangerous World Imaginable.

Penn, Brock and Vonnie volunteer, but Rippen goes instead to redeem himself. He is joined by Larry and several others, mostly against his will.

Intrepid Fictioneer: Averted with one exception; the heroes aren't traveling to any worlds that exist as fiction in their own, even if they often run on the same logic that fiction would. Only on one mission did they ever travel to what they know as a fictional universe, a world where everyone is a mascot for cereal (or cereal related products).

Formula-Breaking Episode: "Temple of the Porcelain God" opens In Medias Res and revolves around the heroes being stuck in the theater while Phyllis evaluates their performance during the last mission. In "Larry Manor" the mission is cancelled due to a power-outage, so Rippen and the heroes kill time by visiting Larry's estate. "The Ripple Effect" is about Penn discovering that Phyllis knows where his parents are.

Improbable Weapon User: Penn's good at defending himself with whatever's lying around, be it a clipboard, a flare gun or, at one point, bacon grease. Vonnie shows shades of this as well, though her weapon range is severely limited by the lack of resources in TMDWI. One episode has her attacking a creature with a stick she'd previously been using as an eating utensil while another has her fighting off a giant monster with a tooth that she had apparently ripped out of its own mouth.

The Reveal: In "Fish and Chips", the heroes discover that Oceanaquariopolis, the underwater city from "Chicken or Fish?", is just a well-decorated fish tank in a restaurant. In ""Plantywood: City of Flora", Boone takes the form of an omnipresent narrator, much to the annoyance of Penn and Sashi. When they return to that world in "Rootilda", we learn that Boone was actually a seed in Penn's trench-coat pocket the entire time.

Affectionate Gesture to the Head: In "The Fast and the Floor Rugs", Sashi (currently a small monkey) climbs onto his head to pet his hair, then starts grooming it. In "Flurgle Burgle", Boone can be seen petting his head while he's stuck as the Flurgle to try and cheer him up. In "Brainzburgerz", an army general ruffles his hair while congratulating him on coming up with a way to cure the zombies. Penn swats the hand away, then apologizes and explains that the negative reaction was only because the general had french fry grease on his hands. In "Plantywood: City of Flora", Penn tips Sashi's hat over her eyes while he's congratulating her on knocking out two goons.

Comic Role Play: At Principal Larry's sensitivity training, the main trio is required to do this. It ends with Boone doing a shockingly accurate version of Sashi, complete with a pitch perfect imitation of her voice. It's actually effective in convincing Sashi she needs to manage her anger better.

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever
 Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero / int_7ccd3698
comment
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: In "Baby-Pocalypse", the heroes fight giant baby versions of Rippen and Larry. In "The Ripple Effect", Penn gets zapped into a dimension as himself instead of an existing denizen. This wouldn't be much of a problem if the dimension's occupants didn't happen to be really tiny and really alarmed about the "giant" that just showed up. In "The Last Mountain Beast", the beast itself is a literal mountain. Also, when Phyllis enters the dimension to pick up one of the shards that could lead them to Penn's parents, she does so as a Giant Woman. When she gives the shard to Penn, she is somehow still giant. In "The Most Dangerous World Imaginable", Penn's dad Brock goes inside a giant fire-breathing chicken, whose crop holds an entire town.

Stating the Simple Solution: The spy-themed "Rock and Roll" is rife with James Bond references, so naturally Rippen indulges in some Bond Villain Stupidity by creating a death trap where the heroes will slowly be crushed to death under a carriage of rocks being pulled by a saber-tooth tiger. Penn is more confused than impressed.

Dame with a Case: In "Plantywood: City of Flora" upon arriving in a film noir inspired world populated by Plant People Penn (who is inhabiting a detective) is immediately met by a mysterious attractive rose woman who has a case for him, which he insists on following despite Sashi suggesting they simply go investigate the area Rippen was last spotted as stopping him is their real priority, with Penn repeatedly insisting that the seemingly minor investigation in these stories always links to the bigger crime. Only for it to turn out this one actually doesn't, and whilst he does eventually stumble on Rippen by chance, it would have all been resolved a lot faster if he just did what Sashi suggested.

The "Cereal Criminals" world is designed to look like a cereal box illustration, with the cartoony brand mascots having thick pencil lines and flat colors while the scenery is textured and realistic. "Ninki Ninja Battle Town" takes place in an Animesque world, the look and feel of Japanese animation replicated almost exactly.

Phlebotinum Breakdown: Rippen fails to completely destroy the heroes' MUT in "Save the Worlds", so instead it randomly zaps people from the worlds it's projected to, which severely imbalances the multiverse causing a chain reaction that would lead all of reality to bleed into Void Between the Worlds.

Set Right What Once Went Wrong: In "Back to the Past of Future Balls", the part-time heroes revisit the world they visited in "Balls!" and find out Rippen used a Time Machine to create a bad timeline where he took over. Penn and the time machine's inventor try to use it to undo the changes. They instead go back further in time and prevent the incident that started the war Rippen took advantage of in the first place.

Not Me This Time: "Defending the Earth" has both the heroes and villains getting abducted by a third party mid-battle, which Penn initially assumes is just Rippen's plan taking a strange turn. Penn is surprised to find that the bad guy in "Cereal Criminals" is not Rippen, who is instead the bad guy's former cellmate. The villain in "I'm Still Super!" is Professor Evil Professor, while Rippen is The Dragon. Professor even betrays Rippen, which leads Rippen to help the heroes.

Heroic Bystander: In "The Old Old West" the gang get zapped in as ordinary citizens and are expected to stop a bank robbery. Penn is surprised by this. "Brainzburgerz" has Penn getting zapped in as a fast food employee who's supposed to find and deliver a cure that will stop the ongoing Zombie Apocalypse. When Penn wonders why the MUT selected such an ordinary person for such an extraordinary task Boone theorizes that it's because the world runs on movie logic, and zombie movies usually feature everyman protagonists who rise up and save the day despite the odds being stacked against them.

Foreshadowing: The theater marquee is always covered in scrambled letters that can be arranged to form clues about the day's mission. In some cases the marquee also hints at future episodes: In "The Old Old West" one of the words is AMBER. In "Chicken Or Fish?" two of the words are RUFUS and RESTAURANT. "Chuckle City" has a word and a number, MAYOR and 500. Boone is seen painting a portrait of the Pig-Oilet a few episodes before the statue's debut. The titles for episodes that take place in Oceanaquariapolis, "Chicken or Fish" and "Fish and Chips", hint at the reveal that the kingdom is a fish tank at a seafood restaurant run by a tricloptic cat giant. In "The Princess Most Fair", Sashi admits that Penn and Boone are the best of pals and that this makes her feel left out. The origins episode reveals she had only recently become their friend.

comment
Continuity Nod: A Flurgle appears among the alien audience in "Defending the Earth" and another appears in "Lady Starblaster". "Amber", being a Sequel Episode, has several nods to events that happened in "The Old Old West": Rippen's T-Rex is in Briggs' custody. The farrier who was previously swallowed and then spat out by a dinosaur immediately ducks and covers when it seems like it's going to happen again. Rippen reverses the keyring trick that Briggs used to defeat him the last time they met. Rippen reminds Larry of his hatred of musicals (which was established at the end of "The Princess Most Fair") when the latter starts singing in "Fish and Chips". At the beginning of "Fish and Chips", Boone brings up the fact that he wasn't able to swim when they first visited Oceanaquariopolis ("Chicken or Fish?"). The giant whoopee cushion from "Chuckle City" can be seen in the background during "Chuckle City 500". Penn and Sashi's overcompetitiveness when it comes to dodgeball (see "3 Big Problems") is brought up in "Boone's Apprentice". Both Hogarth ("Boone's Apprentice") and the Milkman ("Cereal Criminals") briefly appear during the world-saving Montage in "Save The Worlds."

Non-Lethal Warfare: Actively invoked by the heroes, who have apparently killed non-human entities in the past but always strive to find non-lethal ways to defeat Rippen and Larry. This ends up becoming a plot point in "I'm Still Super!", where the Professor challenges Penn to kill Rippen in exchange for Boone and Sashi's lives. Frequently averted or subverted by Rippen, who is completely fine with the idea of killing the heroes and even tries to shoot a crossbow bolt through Penn's head in "Number One, Number Two".

Year Inside, Hour Outside: Some dimensions have time flow differently. Most missions last an hour from the main dimension's perspective, but the "Ultrahyperball" world had three years pass during the mission, as evidenced by Penn, Rippen and Sashi's hair growth as the episode went on.

Save the Villain: In "Hail Larry" the heroes decide let Larry have a Near-Villain Victory so that his mutinous skeleton henchman won't kill him. Penn rejects the Professor's offer to let him kill Rippen in exchange for Boone and Sashi's lives in "I'm Still Super!". Rippen returns the favor by intentionally pressing the wrong button on the Death Trap's control panel. Penn saves Rippen from falling into a sea of fire in "At the End of the Worlds", just as he was about to rescue his parents. This leads to Rippen making a Heel–Face Turn.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Larry temporarily replaces Rippen as part-time villain during the "Hail Larry" mission and would have won if not for Rippen zapping in at the last minute and sabotaging the mission because he didn't want Larry to become a full-time villain instead of him. Phil gets one in "The Ripple Effect", where he hires Penn as a part-time villain, allowing him to use the villain's portal to enter TLDWI and save everyone. In "It's a Colorful Life," Rippen decides to ditch the Drabs and continue on his own after atealing all the color stones. This allows Penn to convince both the Drabs and Hues that they're not that different, causing them to work together to foil Rippen.

He was also the one that realized that Penn had to be in a Christmas-like environment to get his Santa powers to work in "North Pole Down".

So Proud of You: Sashi's parents don't know she's a hero so she's unable to tell them about all her achievements, the sting of which is made worse by the fact that they often reward her brother's (ordinary) ones with cake. When Penn and Boone find out about this, they decide to bake her a congratulatory cake themselves; the cake ends up tasting terrible but Sashi still appreciates the sentiment behind it.

Hook Hand: Crossbow, the villain Rippen acts as in "Number One, Number Two", is named after the crossbow he's replaced his left hand with. It's smaller and lighter than an ordinary one but also gives him deadlier accuracy. He gets an actual hook in "The Pirates, The Parrot, The Puzzles, and the Talking Boats" as Woodbeard.

Horrible Judge of Character: In "The Ripple Effect", Phil hires Penn as a part-time villain, thinking he has an "evil face". In "Cereal Fugitives", Rippen thinks the Milkman is too "simple-minded" to betray him, but is ultimately proven wrong.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: When Boone nearly gets the team killed in "The Fast and the Floor Rugs" (because he was too busy being entertained by his genie powers to help out properly) Penn loses his temper and chews him out for his irresponsible behavior. At the start of "Flurgle Burgle" Sashi shoots the Flurgle in a fit of annoyance, knocking it into Penn's teleportation pod and causing a Merging Machine accident that nearly jeopardizes the entire mission. When she complains about this incident later on Boone is quick to remind her whose fault it was. In "Temple of the Porcelain God" the heroes assume this trope is the reason why Phyllis is showing them clips of their last mission, so they spend the entirety of the episode pointing out the various minor mistakes they made in the hopes that Phyllis will then allow them to leave. In the end Phyllis reveals that she just wanted to tell them that it was their best mission yet (and that she secretly left the theater and ate Boone's mom's meatloaf while they were watching the aforementioned clips).

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: No one in Middleburg notices Sashi's futuristic-looking glasses/specs. Nobody finds the MUHU or it's holographic display strange. One civilian seems to think it's a type of television screen, but it's unclear if this is an individual opinion or a widespread one. "North Pole Down" features Penn looking out his window to see Sashi violently destroying a stuffed reindeer, then casually greeting her as if this is a daily occurrence (which, knowing Sashi, it probably is).

Ship Tease: The following exchange in "Balls!": Larry and the President in "3 Big Problems". In "Totally Into Your Body", Boone pretends that an unconscious Sashi tells him that she 'hearts' him more than Teddy (her crush). Boone then thanks her but tells her to keep things professional. Sam Levine reveals in a Twitter post that Matilda might have a crush on Penn. This is hinted when she looks smitten after Penn dances with her in "Lady Starblaster". Penn is extremely irritated about Sashi's crush on Blaze, though it's unclear if this is because he likes Sashi or because he really dislikes Blaze. The serenade scene in "Where Dragons Dare" ends with Blaze and Sashi leaving the club holding hands. They also attempt a kiss in "Save the Worlds". The end credits have Sashi and Penn sit next to each other isolated from Boone and Phyllis.

comment
Their situation is revisited in "That Purple Guy", where the trio have to get the princess and the monster, revealed to be named Grinkon, to fall in love to save their world. The princess is too disgusted by his outward appearance to want anything to do with him, which provides the problem. Of course, then it's revealed that Grinkon can turn into a total Hunk who is equal to her in height.

With a Shout-Out to Say Anything.... Zig-zagged in "Where Dragons Dare". The birds that fly out of Blaze's hair are real but the beams of angelic light are just Sashi's imagination.

Plot-Irrelevant Villain: Rippen is this in "The Ripple Effect". His goal in that episode is to convince the cutelings to move to a planet named Ploopiter and he's not responsible for the catastrophe that made them need to move from their home planet in the first place. Penn is the one who caused the trouble.

Make Wrong What Once Went Right: In "Back to the Past of Future Balls", Rippen used a Time Machine to create a timeline where he accomplished his evil goal in "Balls!" After Penn's first attempt to restore the original timeline fails, he tries to go five minutes back in time but overshoots and goes back to the day the feud between the balls (Penn's side) and the racquets (Rippen's side) started and changes history to create a timeline where both sides keep a peaceful co-existence.

comment
Never Say "Die": Exploited by Genie!Boone in "The Fast and the Floor Rugs", when he uses Rippen's word choice (expire) to turn Penn into expired milk instead of killing him. Averted in "Totally Into Your Body". Sashi explicitly states that Penn will die if the cure they're carrying isn't administered correctly and Rippen later comments that injecting the serum into Penn's heart instead of his brain will kill him immediately. Also averted in "Rip-Penn", as Penn panics over the thought of dying after drinking poison.

Platonic Life-Partners: The main trio are portrayed this way, aside from the occasional Ship Tease. Their affection for each other is very obvious and it's rare to see them apart; "North Pole Down" establishes that Boone and Sashi usually visit Penn's house before he even wakes up and that the rest of Penn's family treat them like they're part of the household.

Drives Like Crazy: Penn's half of the "Chuckle City" chase scene is extremely chaotic and involves stunts like loop-the-loops and tilting the car onto its right wheels to cross a rope bridge — all while he grins cheerfully.

Running Gag
 Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Sashi getting poor transformations compared to Penn and Boone, although this was occasionally averted, and in "Cereal Criminals" it happens to Boone instead (he's turned into the mascot for a kale-based cereal). The gag was dropped entirely later on. Larry's anecdotes about his life. Plushie!Penn's arms getting ripped or cut off in "Baby-Pocalypse". In "Rip-Penn" every time Penn turns into Hyde-Rippen his suit gets destroyed, and every time he turns back to normal he walks behind a screen and redresses. Most of the worlds the three zap to have at least one running gag specific to that universe. For example, in the Dinosaur Cowboy world, Sheriff Scaley Briggs insists on being referred to by his full name and title, and the town of Big Butte is consistently pronounced "Butt" — which, as it turns out, is the correct pronunciation of it.
