Imagine that as time continues into the future, the past starts to unravel, with various points in history coming out all wrong: Abraham Lincoln leaves his presidency to pull pranks, Eli Whitney invents flesh-eating robots instead of the cotton gin, Winston Churchill becomes a nudist, Ludwig van Beethoven becomes a professional wrestler, Edgar Allan Poe writes cheerful children's stories, Amelia Earhart is too afraid of germs to become the first female pilot, Al Capone uses circus clowns to run his crime syndicate, and so on.Enter the Time Squad, who travel through time making sure that the past stays right on track. The show follows one section of Time Squad: Buck Tuddrussel (Rob Paulsen), who likes to shoot first and forget the questions, Larry 3000 (Mark Hamill), an uppity, effeminate, snarky robot who originally worked with kings, senators, and diplomats, and Otto (Pamela Adlon), an orphaned history buff from the 21st century picked up along the way who assists with his knowledge of the past. "Enforcing the past to protect our future."Unless you count Otto's exposition, this show doesn't even try to be historically accurate, In fact, the basic premise revolves around the inaccuracies. And yet, most of their "successes" often leave behind many more inaccuracies...A sort-of modernised take on the Peabody's Improbable History segments from Rocky and Bullwinkle, the show was created by Dave Wasson and premiered on Cartoon Network in June 2001 and was canceled in November 2003, being the first show produced by Cartoon Network Studios after its former parent Hanna-Barbera was dissolved. It reran for a time between November 2003 and August 2005 in the US, but since then, the show has all but disappeared from the airwaves. Cartoon Network did air clips of select episodes on their website as part of the channel's 20th birthday in October 2012, but that was a "limited time only" deal. Cartoon Network had added the first episode to their app and website in April 2020 to promote the HBO Max service but it was never confirmed to be included on the service and Cartoon Network removed the episode only a couple weeks later. Fans are waiting to see if WarnerMedia will add the entire show to the service.In March 2022, a new trademark for Time Squad was registered on Trademarkia. Whether this means a reboot is in development or it is for something else is currently unknown.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Buck and Larry's hug after their fight in "Hate and Let Hate" which can be inferred as Vitriolic Best Buds or a romantic relationship.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Time Squad / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: There's all sorts of Ho Yay and Ambiguously Gay behavior. Examples: In "Larry Upgrade," Tuddrussell and Larry argue like a married couple (but not before sending Otto out to play). Then, there's the "break-up" between Lewis and Clark on "Lewis and Clark and Larry," along with Clark getting jealous that Lewis "went exploring" with Larry. "Ex Marks the Spot," from Larry's unusual behavior that's reminiscent to a stereotypically devoted housewife who has an amazing sex life with Tuddrussel to Larry declaring that Tuddrussel is sleeping on the sofa (even though Tuddrussel did nothing to deserve it). A rare example that has nothing to do with the homosexual undertone of the show occurs in "Child's Play," where Shakespeare gets into creative differences between his agent (who wants him to do kids' plays for merchandise) and Larry (who acts as a Moral Guardian and keeps objecting to the plays' content). Another non-homosexual example: the two times Larry has acted drunk (in "Eli Whitney's Flesh-Eating Mistake," where his Non Sequitur, *Thud* after being beaten by angry townspeople is "I'm okay to drive. Just help me to the car." and in "Pasteur Packs O'Punch where Larry experiences wild mood swings after being electrocuted, where he drunkenly tells Tuddrussell that he loves him, offers to drive despite being in no condition to operate anything, telling off Otto with a slurred, "Hey, don't tell me what to do!", and embarrassing himself at a party by standing on a table and declaring himself, "The Queen of France"). In a similar vein, on the first episode "Eli Whitney's Flesh-Eating Mistake," there was Fantastic Racism in the form of the townspeople who were attacked by Eli Whitney's flesh-eating robots attacking Larry because he may be a flesh-eating robot and Tuddrussell taking offense to being called a "robot lover" (though the rampant, mostly one-sided Ho Yay begs to differ). However, the whole scenario could be taken another way, because Tuddrussel only takes offense ("Hey! You watch who you're calling 'robot lover'!") when a townsperson labels Otto as a 'robot lover' ("This must be some kind of flesh eating robot lover trick!") right after Otto explains that Larry doesn't have any teeth. Tuddrussel having taken offence to someone other than himself being labeled as such can vaguely be interpreted as pure jealousy. "Daddio DaVinci" (season one, episode three) had Otto opening Larry's gear box on his chest and Larry covering himself in the same way a woman would if her breasts were exposed.

 Time Squad / int_14fbe67f
comment
Godiva Hair: Subverted with the legend herself on "If It's Wright, It's Wrong." Larry shows Otto some past videos of Buck trying to arrest historical figures, one of which is Lady Godiva riding naked on her horse. Rather than use her impossibly long hair to cover her nudity (as it was depicted as being a realistic shoulder-length), Godiva's nudity was covered with black censor bars.

Gone Horribly Right
 Time Squad / int_1994ba0b
comment
Gone Horribly Right: When the Time Squad successfully (and inadvertently) return Edgar Allan Poe to his original manic-depressive (emphasis on "depressive") self, they feel bad about it and leave without saying a word. This actually happens quite a few times, while most of the people Time Squad helps have simply gotten sidetracked or are missing some inspiration of idea that will put them on the right path, several historical characters don't WANT to take on the tasks that history dictates for them and are actively trying to avoid it, and its up to the Time Squad to force them to do it to prevent history from getting screwed up. Most noteable with Poe, but also with Plato, who has become a health nut and has to be physically threatened to become a philosopher instead, Blackbeard, who prefers saving the environment over piracy, and Montezuma, who wants to be a stand up comedian. Some are visibly disheartened by being forced into a role they don't want.

Can't Take Anything with You: Larry often lectures Tuddrussel in the dangers of taking artifacts from the past, but this doesn't stop him from stealing things such as the U.S. Constitution. And once he left the schematics to a military grade laser cannon for Kubla Khan to read and have made for his own campaign for a new comic book.

Black Comedy

comment
Black Comedy: On "The Clownfather," Larry and Tuddrussell fight each other over who gets to entertain kids at a party. Tuddrussell wows the kids by balancing a piano on his nose. Larry throws down a banana peel and Tuddrussell slips on it. The two almost get into a pie fight until a panicked mom finds her son crushed by a piano and the mobsters (including the Time Squad, who joined Al Capone's gang because Capone mistook them for three gangsters who look like them) bail before the cops can come. The many times Otto has been beaten up or abandoned — both when he lived in the orphanage and when Larry and Tuddrussell "adopt" him. From Napoleon The Conquered its implied that Josephines general incompetence is what led to Napoleons crushing defeat at Waterloo, despite showing prowess at fighting minutes before.

Personality Swap: Buck and Larry enter one by accidentally switching their usual areas of habitation and going native in "Hate and Let Hate." Worth noting because this wasn't done as the usual Freaky Friday switch in which some magical or scientific third party switches Larry's and Tuddrussell's personalities into each other's bodies, they just happen to be stuck on each others side of the sattelite and try the other's hobbies out of boredom.

Anachronism Stew
 Time Squad / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew: Tons and tons of it, operating solely on the basis of Rule of Cool and Rule of Funny. "Betsy Ross Flies Her Freak Flag" has Betsy Ross leading a New-Age Retro Hippie commune, a good 200 years before there was any such thing as a hippie. In one episode ("Kubla Khan't") Otto lampshades this. "I didn't know comic books even existed back then." Not to mention how Khan managed to find the materials to construct the laser rifle from the schematics in the magazine that Tuddrussel had on him. Cleopatra attempts to convert the pyramids into a modern shopping mall, complete with escalators, movie theaters, and fashions that are centuries too early. Then, of course, is the fact that she has any concept of what a shopping mall is. In "Nobel Peace Surprise", Alfred Nobel forms a Legion of Doom consisting of Lizzie Borden, Jack the Ripper, Black Bart the pirate, Rasputin, and Mrs. O'Leary's cow. While most of them did actually live in the same time, Black Bart lived in the 17th century, well before any of the others were born. And no, Alfred Nobel did not travel through time or anything of the sort in the episode, nor did any of the other members.

Spiritual Successor
 Time Squad / int_27a42ebc
comment
Spiritual Successor: The whole show is a 21st century spin on Peabody's Improbable History, which featured a similar plot, with things in the past being twisted, and the characters going back in time to set things right, or close to it. Also Otto looks and acts a bit like Sherman, and interestingly enough have a similar backstory- both were orphans living in abusive homes before being "adopted." Also, the idea of an orphan boy and a member (in this case members) of a group dedicated to traveling through history and keeping it on track, with the boy’s knowledge of history proving invaluable, makes this out to be a comedy-flavored spin on the early 80’s sci-fi series Voyagers!.

Ever. He'll wear things over it but the uniform can always be distinctly seen — even in the shower, as seen in "Larry Upgrade."

Feud Episode: "Hate And Let Hate" featured Tuddrussel and Larry getting into a fight after Larry cleans Tuddrussel's phaser guns in the dishwasher, which results in an ungrateful and infuriated Tuddrussel shoving Larry into the dishwasher and setting the water temperature to high heat. Larry and Tuddrussel then go on to pull numerous pranks at each other such as replacing deodorant with spray paint and tying shoelaces together and during their feud, they accidentally maroon Otto in the 16th century after a mission involving Hernando De Soto but they are both too blinded by their feuding to realize their mistake and it goes to the point where Tuddrussel uses white paint to divide up the ship and he and Larry end up on the wrong sides. After getting comfortable with doing each others hobbies, Tuddrussel and Larry make up and realize their mistake in abandoning Otto.

Conspiracy Theorist: Buffalo Bill of all people, who is too busy writing his own conspiracy newsletter to found the Pony Express. He's eventually talked into it by Otto who points out that he can circulate the newsletter along with everyone elses mail if he starts the postal system.

Adventures in the Bible: Mentioned in passing in an early episode is that Tuddrussel had stolen King David's sling-shot in a previous mission, and Otto wonders how David could've ended up defeating Goliath as described in the bible if he didn't have it after all. Also, a script for an early episode involving the Time Squad going back to the Garden of Eden to get Adam and Eve to partake of the forbidden fruit from The Tree of Knowledge was written, but never made But can be viewed on Carlos Ramos' Tumblr blog.

Pursue the Dream Job: Many episodes involve a historical figure changing to another field of work - such as Beethoven becoming a pro-wrestler or Albert Einstein a used car salesman - and it's up to the Squad to get them back in track and keep the timeline stable.

Noodle Incident
 Time Squad / int_3c0a4666
comment
Noodle Incident: There are often moments where the show's humor relies on the characters bringing up past events for one reason or another: Sheila and Buck have an entire conversation in "Ex Marks the Spot" about their past missions and the fights that Buck got involved with various historical figures. It's never established WHY Buck threw Pablo Picasso down a flight of stairs or HOW he got into a brawl with Florence Nightingale, they just happily remember that it happened. Before "Cabin Fever" occurs, the guys are looking like they were savagely beaten up while watching Jazz musician Louis Armstrong and his band play. They proceed to discuss how Armstrong "sure gave them a run for their money" and were relieved that Armstrong gave up what was apparently a plot to "drill into the center of the Earth". While trying to get Montezuma to abandon stand up comedy, Tuddrussel and Larry finally snap and throw insults at each other, with Larry to snidely ask Tuddrussel, "What about that time you went to get a drink and got your head stuck in the toilet?"

Going Native: Both Tuddrussel and Larry are EXTREMELY prone to this, as soon as they identify with a historical inaccuracy in the slightest, they'll happily abandon their mission and join up with the madness, and leave Otto to straighten things out. Sheila refers to this trope as “Committing a code 646” in the Nobel episode.

Another non-homosexual example: the two times Larry has acted drunk (in "Eli Whitney's Flesh-Eating Mistake," where his Non Sequitur, *Thud* after being beaten by angry townspeople is "I'm okay to drive. Just help me to the car." and in "Pasteur Packs O'Punch where Larry experiences wild mood swings after being electrocuted, where he drunkenly tells Tuddrussell that he loves him, offers to drive despite being in no condition to operate anything, telling off Otto with a slurred, "Hey, don't tell me what to do!", and embarrassing himself at a party by standing on a table and declaring himself, "The Queen of France").

Compressed Vice: Larry being a Moral Guardian in "Child's Play", which seems particularly bizarre given how much violence and sexuality the show had put in, far beyond the things Larry objects to. Larry's obsession with "minimal interference" in "Planet of the Flies", even though the whole plot of the show is about a kid who he and Tuddrussel took out of his time period to help them on their missions.

That's What She Said: The phrase itself wasn't said on the show, but one line from "Nobel Peace Surprise" might as well as have that phrase tagged at the end of it. When the XJ5 shows off his footprint detector, Larry scoffs, "It's not the size of the equipment. It's how you use it." Tuddrussel makes it into this trope too with his line in "Horse of Horrors". While reading a magazine "Burgers and You", he exclaims; "Man! Will you look at the size of those buns! Mm-mm!"

Comedic Sociopathy
 Time Squad / int_4a4d6f7c
comment
Comedic Sociopathy: With Amusing Injuries, Tuddrussel and Otto enjoy playing games like "Super Extreme Spy Tag" where the object of the game seems to be to try to murder the opponent player. Tuddrussel has attempted to club Otto to death and smash him with a washing machine, only to be disappointed that he crushed Larry with said object. He did succeed in getting Otto with hit with a bookcase though. And Otto in turn enjoys spraying shaving cream into Tuddrussel's eyes and laughs at his misery. This type of violent pranking is also done while working on missions, and unsurprisingly some historical figures get into it. Such as the time when Tuddrussel teaches Abraham Lincoln about atomic wedgies and the President proceeds to give one to an old lady who then blindly goes onto a busy street and gets trampled by a horse. Abe and Tuddrussel look on, proceed to laugh, and then high five each other.

Artistic License – History: Self-described as a "C- Student's guide to history" — which is frankly being generous — the show often doesn't even try for historical accuracy, opting for Rule of Funny instead. It also treats "Common Knowledge" myths about history as accurate. The actual list of historical inaccuracies would be way too long to list, even on its own page.

Fantastic Racism
 Time Squad / int_57b80b45
comment
In a similar vein, on the first episode "Eli Whitney's Flesh-Eating Mistake," there was Fantastic Racism in the form of the townspeople who were attacked by Eli Whitney's flesh-eating robots attacking Larry because he may be a flesh-eating robot and Tuddrussell taking offense to being called a "robot lover" (though the rampant, mostly one-sided Ho Yay begs to differ). However, the whole scenario could be taken another way, because Tuddrussel only takes offense ("Hey! You watch who you're calling 'robot lover'!") when a townsperson labels Otto as a 'robot lover' ("This must be some kind of flesh eating robot lover trick!") right after Otto explains that Larry doesn't have any teeth. Tuddrussel having taken offence to someone other than himself being labeled as such can vaguely be interpreted as pure jealousy.

Only they find them having a literal tea party while wearing powdered wigs and acting all sophisticated, not willing to resort to violence. It's only when they switch to drinking coffee that the Colonists turn into Fratbros and begin the American Revolution as intended.

Real Men Wear Pink: If the show wasn't doing jokes about how Ambiguously Gay the Larry 3000 is, then it's doing jokes about how seemingly macho men have unmanly hobbies and interests. To wit: "Tea Time for Time Squad" had the Sons of Liberty having an actual tea party instead of throwing the taxed tea into the harbor (which they ended up doing after Otto offers coffee to everyone). "Every Poe Has A Silver Lining" had Edgar Allan Poe as a cheerful children's writer who decorated everything in pastels (and even wore a pastel purple suit that looked more like something teenaged boys from the '70s and '80s would wear to senior prom). "Floral Patton": General Patton running a florist shop, though his Drill Sergeant Nasty personality didn't change. "Forget The Alamo": Tuddrussel is shocked to find that his ancestor, Jeremiah Tuddrussel, is a party planner instead of one of the fighters of the Alamo. "Hate and Let Hate": Tuddrussel teaches himself how to cook with Larry's books after accidentally sequestering himself on Larry's side of the satellite. "Blackbeard Warm Heart" and "Repeat Offender": Bloodthirsty pirate Blackbeard (real name: Edward Teach) is an environmentalist and animal lover. Beethoven is shown to be a muscular and macho guy with an Austrian accent who loves wrestling but also loves and excels at doing classical musing

Politically Correct History
 Time Squad / int_7e74d66f
comment
Politically Correct History: All over the place, fitting with the Anachronism Stew of the setting. In the pilot (which deals with Eli Whitney), "Dishonest Abe" (which shows Abraham Lincoln giving the Emancipation Proclamation), and "Father Figure of our Country" (which has Otto spending a great deal of time on George Washington's estate), there's not a slave in sight, and slavery isn't given even a passing mention. The century's worth of segregation is never mentioned either. Episodes that take place during any modern war won't even reference the war in question. Even World War II is only barely mentioned in an episode centered around Winston Churchill, and another centered around Patton. note A certain someone is never a subject of the episode, as putting him on the proper historical track would be an extremely uncomfortable subject to broach in a children's show. That said, they did manage to show Joseph Stalin. Black and female American historical figures are noticeably rare, likely to gloss over America's difficult history with race and gender. One exception is The Theme Park Version of George Washington Carver, who was regarded as a super-popular celebrity In-Universe. In the early 1900s. Yeah... "Keeping it Real With Sitting Bull" makes reference to the Battle of Little Bighorn (which, as it tends to be, is Played for Laughs), but the actual context of Indian Removal is not present.

Broken Pedestal: Tuddrussel is devastated to find out that his hero, his ancestor Jeremiah who fought at the Alamo, is a wimpy party planner who wants to roll over for the Mexican army because he's afraid of fighting the massive odds. He doesn't get redeemed either: Larry just inadvertently ruins the party with his crappy ideas and gets the Texans killed.

Ultimate Job Security: Despite their complete incompetence at their job before they enlisted the help of a 21st century 8-year old, Tuddrussel and Larry are never fired or even reprimanded. Presumably they make themselves look better in their reports, but you'd think theyd have a supervisor or something who'd notice the wildly inaccurate timeline errors they tend to leave behind, even with Otto to help them.

Parody Episode: The season one episode "Larry Upgrade" seems to be a parody of The Stepford Wives, but with a happier resolution than in the book or movie. "White House Weirdness" is a full-episode parody of Scooby-Doo. "Houdini Whodunnit?!" is an affectionate parody of the 1960's Batman television series.

Close-Enough Timeline
 Time Squad / int_aadcbbe4
comment
Close-Enough Timeline: This happens frequently in the show. Like in the episode featuring the Trojan horse, the Greek army had tried sending a wooden horse filled with candy, a wooden giraffe filled with chocolate soldiers, and finally in an effort to please the Time Squad's wishes for real soldiers to be sent to the King of Troy, the Greek army sends in a wooden solder filled with wild horses. The wild horses end up murdering people and effectively destroy the city of Troy. Otto comments that this outcome isn't exactly what's supposed to happen in the history books, with Tuddrussel to retort with, "ah, close enough." And once in an effort to get Paul Revere to make his historic ride to warn the colonists that the British were coming, they had Sigmund Freud hypnotize him into thinking he was a horse and forced the Austrian shrink to ride Paul like a horse and warn the Americans himself.

Small Reference Pools: The bulk of episodes take place either in what will become the US or dealing with historical figures that the average American will be familiar with. Also, despite taking place in the year 1,000,000, no historical figure after the 20th Century is shown. The latter is justified in universe as this being about the time at which history starts to unravel.

Speaking of Larry and Hypocritical Humor, there's most of the episode, "Child's Play," in which Larry acts like a Moral Guardian (and shatters the fourth wall by pointing out that Tuddrussell's catchphrases "Go time!" and "Get some!" are inappropriate for children and making two speeches about how people have lost their sense of morality) and even gets involved in censoring Shakespeare's plays — and also reveals that he reads novels by Jackie Collins, which aren't exactly what you would call "child-friendly."

True Companions: The Time Squad are a sort of dysfunctional family, with Buck and Larry's spats coming off as being akin to marital bickering. They pretty much adopted Otto from the moment they met him.

Exiled to the Couch
 Time Squad / int_c3782352
comment
Exiled to the Couch: Larry told Tuddrussel that "Tonight, [he was] sleeping on the sofa!" when he thought that Tuddrussel and his ex-Sheila were getting back together even though Tuddrussel did nothing wrong to deserve being sent to the couch. It Makes Sense in Context. No prior episode — unless you count the part on "Old Timers' Squad" where Larry's, Tuddrussel's, and Otto's older selves are shown in the same bed — ever established that Buck and Larry shared a bed. In fact, previous episodes showed that Tuddrussel and Larry had their own separate rooms and beds on the ship, so the line indicated that their relationship had become, er, closer (see the Fridge Brilliance tab on this page for an alternate interpretation of this scene).

Awkward Father-Son Bonding Activity
 Time Squad / int_c6d0ce84
comment
Awkward Father-Son Bonding Activity: A slight variation seeing that it's paired with Hilariously Abusive Childhood, and that Tuddrussel acts more like an uncle or a brother and rarely shows any sort of "paternal" emotions for Otto (outside of saying "That's my boy!" during the birthday party sequence in "Love at First Flight"). At the beginning of the episode "Father Figure of Our Country", Tuddrussel tries to bond with Otto by teaching him how to play baseball, ride a bike, and fish. This goes about as well as you'd expect: disastrous. At the end of the scene Otto is completely battered and bandaged up because of Tuddrussel's blind negligence.

Only One Finds It Fun: At one point, Edgar Allan Poe makes the squad listen to his stories, which aren't the horror stories he's famous for writing, but rather romances and kids' books. Tuddrussel and Larry find them extremely boring and saccharine, but Otto takes a strong liking to them and claps excitedly when Poe finishes his story.

My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels: Larry speaking French while trying to reason with Napoleon in "Napoleon the Conquered" apparently didn't work, as the three are then sentenced to die by guillotine. In "Out with the In Crowd," Henry Morton Stanley (the explorer known for the memetic quote, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?") tries to get the jungle natives to stop attacking him, but whatever he said translates to "My name is Silly Suzy and I am wearing rubber underpants."

Refuge in Audacity: As mentioned in the Karma Houdini entry, Sister Thornly regularly abuses and uses her orphans as cheap labor (doing everything from harvesting sugar canes to mining coal to cleaning the windows of the Empire State Building) and even had them pack government cheese on a bus during a trip to Washington, D.C. (which is densely packed with all manner of security officers) without getting caught. In fact, she's never punished for what she's done. Whether it's because Police Are Useless or her status as a nun lets her get away with such atrocities is up for debate.

Vitriolic Best Buds: This is one way to interpret Tuddrussel and Larry's friendship. Any fans who believe that there is actually nothing funny about Tuddrussel and Larry's relationship think of them as another pair of friends with gallons of vitriol filled up in both of them. They both banter like an old-married couple, and Tuddrussel would often berate Larry for his effeminate behavior and would sometimes do cruel things to him and Larry in turn shows disdain towards Tuddrussel for his selfish, childish, and condescending behavior but they both are committed to working together in attempting to fix the timeline and give Otto a better life.

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Most of the historical figures they visit take the idea of a Time Police visiting them to make sure they behave according to history with surprising indifference. The main issue tends to lie in getting them to do what they' re supposed to be doing. The only ones who tend to be really shocked or scared of the trios appearance are civilian bystanders.

In "Nobel Peace Surprise", Alfred Nobel forms a Legion of Doom consisting of Lizzie Borden, Jack the Ripper, Black Bart the pirate, Rasputin, and Mrs. O'Leary's cow. While most of them did actually live in the same time, Black Bart lived in the 17th century, well before any of the others were born. And no, Alfred Nobel did not travel through time or anything of the sort in the episode, nor did any of the other members.

Criminal Doppelgänger: Three of Al Capone's henchmen- Tuddrussio, Lenny, and Blotto- bear a striking resemblance to Tuddrussel, Larry, and Otto. Both Tuddrussel and Larry share voice actors with their respective doppelgangers, albeit with diferent regional accents. Even Capone cannot tell the duos apart, resulting in the Time Squad reluctantly joining his birthday clown gang. And as for the real mobsters... Guess who gets the blame when Tuddrussel and Larry's clown antics get out of hand at a birthday party?

Historical Villain Upgrade
 Time Squad / int_e16217f8
comment
Historical Villain Upgrade: Many examples, but perhaps the most obvious would be Rasputin, Lizzie Borden, and Mrs. O'Leary's cow in the episode "Nobel Peace Surprise". Grigori Rasputin never actually did anything evil historically, which is simply a common misconception. Lizzie Borden was declared innocent, and even if one were to assume she actually was guilty like many people did, she would have only murdered her abusive father and stepmother as opposed to killing innocent people or being a Card-Carrying Villain like she is erroneously depicted here and in many other media. Mrs. O'Leary's cow, assuming she did start the fire which is highly debated, was just an animal that could have had no comprehension of what it had done, whereas this episode depicts the cow as being outright evil and having intentionally caused the Chicago fire.

Ambiguously Gay: Larry has shown off tons of effeminate mannerisms that make him look a lot like a Camp Gay as well as show a a lot of questionable subtext towards Tuddrussel and several other men. At the same time he doesn't seem to show attraction to any women as he only admired Cleopatra for her fashion sense. Despite all of this, Larry has never been outright stated to be gay. Also Lewis and Clark in the shows interpretation of them as their friendship was played off a lot like a romantic relationship.

Children Raise You: Otto often resorts to being the parent to Tuddrussel and Larry, who can act like bickering siblings (or, in a lot of cases, husband and wife). Even Dr. Freud makes a comment on the dysfunctional relationship, saying that the poor kid is slowly being robbed of his childhood and will be traumatized by this in his adult life (this, by the way, is all Played for Laughs). But while Larry and Tuddrussell have a lot of problems, they still manage to give Otto a better life than he would have had in the twenty-first century (when he was in the orphanage and kept getting harassed by the other kids and forced to do chores by Sister Thornly).

Drama-Preserving Handicap: Tuddrussell has an arsenal of powerful laser guns that he often brandishes but rarely uses. It's heavily implied that Time Squad officers are not actually supposed to use them except as an absolute last resort, and Tuddrussell simply keeps them for show because he has a borderline erotic fixation on guns. The few times he does use them, he's either about to die or gets told off by Larry. When he gifts one to Otto, he predictably fails to impart this restriction, and havoc ensues.
