Harrison Philtrum

* Regular
* Possessed by Van Dyke

**Harrison Philtrum**, also referred to as **Harry Philtrum**, is a character from the episode "Over the Hill". He is presented as a charming fellow working for Action News, whose good looks and wits allowed him to get promoted to lead serious correspondent over Veronica Hill. But the truth behind his charming intelligence is that he was actually possessed by Van Dyke, who wanted to get close to and possess Mayor Meyer as part of another harebrained scheme to take over the world. Without Van Dyke controlling him, Philtrum is in reality nothing more than a dim-witted underwear model.

## Trivia

* Since Gretel realized Van Dyke was controlling Harrison Philtrum because his name sounds similar to "hairy philtrum" (a mustache), this puts into question if Harrison Philtrum was this person's actual name, or if it's a rather unimaginative pseudonym created by Van Dyke. If it's the latter, this also puts the name of Van Dyke's previous target, Mr. Chabner, into question.
Give Me Your Voice

**Give Me Your Voice** is a song performed by the evil librarian in the episode "Shush Hour".

## Lyrics

**Librarian**: If you like to party

And make lots of noise

Gathering together

The girls and the boys

I guess I should warn you

It's one of my joys

To hush you, and shush you

And silence your voice

It might not make you happy

Might ruin your day

But I love the quiet

It's there I must stay

Books are my treasure

And reading's my job

And thinking's required

So shut your big gob

Listen to me

You don't need to verbalize

You know silence is golden

But my peace has been stolen

From now on, you'll speak with your eyes

Give me your voice

That's what I'm after

I'll take your chitter, your chatter

It does not matter the noise

Give me your voice

Be silent forever

I'll have no remorse

When this world is hoarse

My life will be better

Give me your voice
Dave (jingle)

Bayou Barb (character)

## Bayou Barb

* Normal
* Transformed

**Bayou Barb** is a character from the episode of the same name. She used to own a diner in the bayou town that the Grant-Gomez family is visiting during the episode and was well-known for her delicious waffles. However, due to a freak accident during a stormy night, she and her kitchen utensils merged with an old oak tree laced with toxic waste, turning her into a tree-like being with kitchen appliances stuck on the branches. Following the accident, she fled deep into the nearby bayou and became a hermit, believing herself to be an outcast.

The accident has made her a legend in her old hometown, to the point that the myth had to be exploited by the townsfolk in order to attract tourists and bring a sense of community in it.

Inga the Ice Queen

* Current
* Before

**Inga the Ice Queen** is a villain in the *Hamster & Gretel* episode "The Ice Queen Cometh". Formerly a poor dairy farmer from Switzerland, she is the proprietor of an exclusive ice cream parlor known as Ice Queen Ice Cream; Inga decides who is cool enough to be allowed entrance, then she freezes them solid using a special compound she excavated known as Eïysze and makes them part of her clique known as The Kül Krü.

## List of appearances

### Season 1

* "The Ice Queen Cometh" (First appearance)
Itsy Bitsy

* Current
* Without mask
* Without mask, hair down
* Before superpowers
* Before superpowers, without mask

**Itsy Bitsy** is a villain in the *Hamster & Gretel* episode "No Sprain, No Gain." After failing to fill a jewel thief opening, she encountered the same ailens that gave Hamster and Gretel their superpowers, giving her the ability to shoot spiderwebs from her underarms. With this new ability, she attempted to secure a South American spider broach, seeing it as a chance at redemption.

## Powers and abilities

Thanks to the aliens, Itsy Bitsy has been merged with a spider and received the ability to shoot spider silk and create spiderwebs from her armpits. With this ability, she's able to spin webs to ensnare her opponents, and wrap them in silk to immobilize them further; even Hamster and Gretel, due to her silk being about 2% stronger than either of them. She also can use her silk to traverse quickly around town by swinging herself from building to building like a skilled gymnast. Her merger with the spider seems to have made her super agile and athletic, and a very adept jewel thief; which is ironic, since she has not yet become a qualified jewel thief due to a failure at the final test prior to receiving her superpowers (implying her thieving skills used to be below average).

Itsy Bitsy has a couple of weaknesses, though. Her spider webs can be dissolved with lemon juice, stated to be nature's solvent, and her armpits can be clogged up with Pore Blocker 4000 deodorant, disabling her ability to shoot web from her armpits. Like most other people, Itsy Bitsy is susceptible of temporary blindness from bright lights, such as the flashlight Kevin has used against her to hold her off.

## List of appearances

### Season 1

* "No Sprain, No Gain" (First appearance)

## Trivia

* Itsy Bitsy shares many of her abilities with Spider-Man and similar heroes from the Marvel universe. This is alluded to even further, when Itsy Bitsy reveals that her current name wasn't the first choice she had, but had to settle on it when she discovered many other spider-themed heroes and villains already exist with a trademarked name.
	+ Incidentally, this may even include Spider-Man himself, since *Hamster & Gretel* takes place in the same universe as *Phineas and Ferb*, which had a crossover special that included Spider-Man among several other Marvel characters in "Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel".
* Itsy Bitsy's spider silk appears to be about as strong as the film roll trap from Arthouse in "An Arthouse Divided". Like her silk, the film is 2% stronger than Gretel.
Hugh Jorgenson

**Hugh Jorgenson** is a minor character from the *Hamster & Gretel* episode "A Mammoth Problem". He is a Scandinavian-accented student at Eastside Elementary School who used to live in a mountainous area and finds his current home in the United States "depressingly flat". At the science fair in "A Mammoth Problem", Hugh has made a very impressive baking soda volcano.
Danny Jacob

**Danny Jacob** is an American composer, songwriter and guitarist. He is best known for composing original songs for *Phineas and Ferb* and *Milo Murphy's Law*.

For *Hamster & Gretel*, he is a composer and song producer. This is the third time he's working with series creator Dan Povenmire.

Almost Almost There

**Almost Almost There** is a song performed in the episode "Empower Failure". It plays during a movie Gretel and Bailey are watching, as the former is being warned about Professor Exclamation. Since it plays only for the duration of the scene it appears in, only a small excerpt is known.

## Lyrics

[...]-e there

And I am almost, almost there
And I have always known I *(unintelligible)*
Business People

The **Business People** are a group of two men (one black man, and one brown-skinned man named Willie), and two women (one medium-skinned woman, and one white woman), who have appeared in "Superhero Sibling Rivalry" and "Churro's Day Out".

The black man, who is the presumed leading person, tends to prefer carefully and properly following procedures in need for evacuation, even when something is about to crash into their building at a rapid pace. Naturally, this causes the medium-skinned woman, who tends to warn her colleagues about those dangers in the first place, to grow impatient, until the perilous situation has been averted by Hamster and Gretel.

## Quotes

### Woman

* Oh, no! A boat! We've got to get out of here!
* Can you hurry up!
* We're saved!

### Man 2

* Now, hold on, everyone. We've got a procedure for this. (pulls out a handbook) Let's check the evacuation manual. (searches through the manual) Avalanche, bear attack, bee attack...
* Do you want to do this fast or do you want to do it right? Oh, no. I lost my place. Okay, let's start over. Avalanche, bear attack...
* Thanks to the manual!

**Abuelita Gomez** is a character that debuts in the *Hamster & Gretel* "Abuelita's World". She is Carolina and Melissa's mother, and Kevin and Gretel's maternal grandmother. Abuelita is a caring, but very strict person, and can come over as a little scary because of that.

### Fred Grant

Abuelita doesn't seem to be fond of Fred. She calls Fred by her birth name "Winifred" and upon seeing her Abuelita immediately tells her that girls were not allowed in the house despite Fred being her granchildren's cousin and shut the door on Fred's face before calling her and the Grant side of the family "odd".

## List of appearances

Eastside Cheerleaders

The **Eastside Cheerleaders** are the cheerleaders for the Eastside Plumbers sports clubs at Eastside High School, formerly led by Coach Haggerty. Naya appears to be the cheerleading captain, and all six of them happen to be fans of *Yuko Cheerleading Warrior Attack 7*, an anime Fred happens to be a huge fan of as well. Like most of the Eastside Plumbers, their cheerleaders wear uniforms in the colors blue and gold; these uniforms also bear the letter P.

This group of teenagers first appear in "Cheer Cheer Bang Bang", at it appears they may be behind a string of bank robberies; Fred is tasked to go undercover as a tryout cheerleader for any motives. As it turns out, Coach Haggerty was the true mastermind, using a special whistle to put the cheerleaders onto mind control.

A flashback in the episode "The Bantam of the Elementary School Light Opera" shows the cheerleader team in the mid-1990s, back when the sports clubs were called the Eastside Bantams, and thusly the school's mascot was a bantam instead of a plumber; as such, the outfits were orange and green instead, and bore the letter B. One of these cheerleaders happen to resemble one of the current cheerleaders (whose name appears to be revealed Sheila in "Saturday Homecoming Fever"), except she has slightly different hair and skin colors.

* Ronnie Gutcherson, one of the art-passionate troublemakers from the Break-Stuff Club, also appears to resemble Sheila.
I Can Be Bad

**I Can Be Bad** is a song performed by Kevin in the episode "The Break-Stuff Club". During the song, Kevin attempts to commit various malicious acts in order to gain Saturday detention and seek out the vandal who ruined Hiromi's art piece.

## Lyrics

**Kevin:** I know I've got a reputation

Sadly, it's not tarnished at all

They're not even paying attention

But I really need detention

So, today I'm going to show them all

I can be bad

If I want to, baby

I can be awful and unlawful

Don't you try to save me

I can be bad

And you think you know me

But you shouldn't trust me any further

Than you can throw me

I can be bad (bad), oh (bad)

I can be bad (bad), oh

(I can be bad)

I can be bad (bad), oh (bad)

I can be ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ad

I can be bad

Disney Bubble Burst

**Disney Bubble Burst** is a game on DisneyNOW that features different Disney Characters, including Hamster and Gretel for *Hamster & Gretel*.

## Subject of Game

A puzzle game where you have to pop bubbles on boards in order to rescue the characters that have been trapped in them, and after our team has had a lot of fun playing this game, we're sure that you will do as well.
The game features characters from shows and movies like *Mickey Mouse*, *DuckTales*, *Disney's ZOMBIES*, and many more, with us being sure that you will love clearing one level after another, until you complete the whole game, which is quite big, so we recommend coming back to play it as often as possible.

You will have colored bubbles in front of you, and when you find groups of at least two of the same color together, click on them to burst them, aiming to accomplish the goals. Know that you are required to burst bubbles of certain colors in each level to clear it, so concentrate on those, especially because you have a limited number of moves to make.
When you see a special bubble, click on it, since they are usually power-ups that help you pop and clear multiple bubbles in one go, without their color being criteria. It is that simple to have fun with the game, so do it right now, and leave nowhere, since we would love to see you play even more of our awesome games of the day!

The Little Lulu Show Theme

The main theme song that played on every episode at the beginning of HBO's The Little Lulu Show.

## Lyrics

Men:

Baum, be doom, ba di di di baum

Oh, Lulu!

Little Lulu, Little Lulu, with freckles on your skin,

Always in and out of trouble, but mostly always in.

Using Dad's necktie for the tail on your kite,

Using Mom's lipstick for the letters you write.

Little Lulu, Little Lulu, there's no one quite as smart.

Doesn't matter what you're doing,

You're doing it with your heart!

Shining curls, a dance, and there's a sparkle in your eye.

When can we look forward to your next surprise?

What a surprise!

So, the clock says 7:30, it's really after ten,

Looks like Lulu's been repairing it again.

Though you're wild, (Why?)

You know it's true-lu.

And you're very hard to tame.

Little Lulu, We love you-lu just the same-the-same!

Little Lulu, we love you-lu...

Just... the... same!

Baum, be doom, ba di di di baum

Lulu!

## Trivia

* The beginning of the intro, it appears "*A Cinar Presentation*". All post-2004 airings replaced it with "*A Cookie Jar Presentation*". This same goes with the Cookie Jar logo plastering over the old Cinar one in the credits.
	+ The intro has a lyric change from the original Paramount version of the song. In the original song, one of the lyrics was "Though you're wild as any Zulu and you're just as hard to tame", but The Little Lulu Show introduction changes it to "Though you're wild, you know it's true-lu, and you're very hard to tame" due to the former line was considered too racist for those writers.
	+ Sometimes, the beginning of the intro has ''Home Box Office Presents'', ''Cinar Presents'' or ''Cookie Jar Presents''.
Angry Clown

The **Angry Clown** is a character in the *Hamster & Gretel* episode "Birthday Besties". Due to his scowling expression, Kevin and Gretel suspect him to be the culprit behind a string of ruined birthday parties, and try to prevent him from ruining Bailey's birthday party as well. As it turns out, however, the clown is not the culprit, and only appears angry to create his own niche and stand out among other clowns, as no angry clowns seem to exist.

## Physical appearance

The Angry Clown has a medium skin complexion, curly orange hair with a bald forehead, thick taupe eyebrows, and blue eyes. He also has a visible earlobe. His outfit is typical for a clown; wearing a light green vest with a pink-petaled flower over a sky blue shirt with a purple tie, as well as gold-yellow, knee-length shorts, white gloves, purple and sky blue striped stockings, a purple bowler hate with sky blue brim, and large, yellow and red shoes. His face features a red, oval clown's nose, as well as red triangles below his eyes and a white maw for face paint.

A signature feature of his is his scowling expression, which initially led Kevin and Gretel to believe he's up to no good; but this is merely to differentiate him from other clowns, and is just an act.

## List of appearances

### Season 1

* "Birthday Besties" (First appearance)
* "La Sombrerona" (Cameo)
Break-Stuff Club (group)

## Break-Stuff Club

The **Break-Stuff Club** is a trio of teenagers from *Hamster & Gretel* that first appear in the eponymous episode, "The Break-Stuff Club". They are presented as a bunch of troublemaking delinquents that put Eastside High School under pressure with a variety of elaborate pranks, including glitter-bombing the football team, releasing skunks during a pep rally, and steering a homecoming float into the river; that stunt in particular earned them Saturday detention for the rest of the school year.

In "The Break-Stuff Club", Kevin suspects that they must be the defacers of Hiromi's mural, "Plumber Pride", as the graffiti covering it spell "BSC", which match with the initials of the Break-Stuff Club; thus, Kevin plans to deliberately get Saturday detention to catch the Break-Stuff Club in the act. However, the Break-Stuff Club actually planned to restore the mural; as it turns out, the Break-Stuff Club actually are passionate art enthusiasts who pulled all those pranks in the first place to protest against cuts to the school's art budget. The name of their club also comes from the fact that they plan their *stuff* during school *breaks*; not actually breaking stuff. After they and Kevin restore the mural and capture the real culprit – one Unknownzy, a.k.a. Bob Cashwell – all of them are pardoned from Saturday detention.

How Much Can You Lift?

## Video

**"How Much Can You Lift?"** is a song sung by Kevin. It is used in "Superhero Sibling Rivalry". The song is presented as a theme song for a faux game show, as Kevin tricks FistPuncher and The Destructress into freeing Hamster and Gretel from the twin supervillains' own trap, under the pretense of seeing which of the two is stronger.

## Lyrics

**Kevin:** If you irritate your sibling

'Cause you both are so competitive

If the bickering and quibbling

Is just getting too repetitive

You can't wait any longer

You gotta know which one is stronger

Just play:

How much can you lift?

If you want to find a winner

How much can you lift?

And still be home in time for dinner

How much can you lift?

If you want to prove that you're superior

How much can you lift?

And in the process, kick a little posterior

How much can you lift???

Belle

**Belle** is the main antagonist of the *Hamster & Gretel* episode "For Whom the Belle Trolls". She is a young woman who wants to make it big on the internet, but didn't get a lot of views until she made claims about Hamster and Gretel being mean. From that moment, Belle began spreading false rumors about the superhero duo, as well as editing recorded footage to make Hamster and Gretel look bad.

## Physical appearance

Belle is a young woman with light skin and a slender build. She has long, wavy blonde hair, blue eyes with slanted eyelashes, flat eyebrows, and a pointed nose. She wears a white sweater with a pink collar, a teal green skirt held by a brown belt, gray boots, and a purple headband. She also wears light red lipstick, gold earrings and a golden necklace.

## Personality

As a social media influencer, Belle is portrayed as considerably vain, only caring about her mission in becoming popular and famous. She is overly fond of attention and has no qualms with how she may acquire it, leading to her making up various false accusation of the local town heroes with forged video evidence to support her lies. She is crafty too, being able to manipulate people with wordplay leading them to self incrimination. Belle competes in the online world with her sights solely on her goals, and she'll use any dirty means to acquire it no matter how many lives she ruins; after all, controversies get views.

## Skills and abilities

Belle doesn't have any superpowers, but being a media user, she has cunning prowess in video editing and public speaking. Belle achievement in villainy is how she handles her computer and camera able to turn Hamster & Gretel acts of nobility into heinous crimes, plus she heavily encrypt her files in her system cause she is cautious around hackers. Also she is an expert in public communication, during the talk show interview she bombarded her with questions that made Gretel to stumble on her words and preventing her to give a clear answer, until finally she tricks her into admitting her false crimes by admitting one true crime of "resisting arrest" twisting Gretel's truth to her advantage.

## List of appearances

### Season 1

* "For Whom the Belle Trolls" (First appearance)

## Trivia

* Belle's behavior appears to resemble that of a typical tea channel: a social media account (commonly on Twitter, YouTube or Instagram) reporting on internet gossip ("tea" being a slang term for gossip). Tea channels tend to be controversial for building an ecosystem based on drama, and escalating them to scandalous levels, and some particularly bad ones may even make up their own rumors to incite more drama.
It's a Big Big World

**It's a Big Big World** is a song performed in the episode "The Earworm", performed during the eponymous ride at Giddyland. It is said to be one of the catchiest earworm songs ever written (even more so than the Taco Crunchies jingle), to the point that the Grant-Gomez family had agreed upon never mentioning it again.

Only a small excerpt of the original song is known (which Dave partially sung along with it). However, a complete version has later been recited by Kevin, Fred, and the entire police department, in order for Hamster and Gretel to snap out of the hypnotic trance caused by the Taco Crunchies jingle that put them under the Earworm's control.

## Lyrics

### Original version (excerpt)

It's a big, big world, but there's lots and lots of us

**Dave *(singing along)*:** If it was any smaller, we would be superfluous

*(record scratch)*

### Recital (full)

**Kevin:** It's a big, big world, but there's lots and lots of us

***(joined by Fred)*:** If it was any smaller, we would be superfluous

***(joined by police officers)*:** If we told you it was little, we'd be disingenuous

'Cause we know it's a big, big world!

**Officer *(spoken)*:** *We need backup!*

**Everyone *(joined by backup)*:** It's a big, big world, but there's lots and lots of us

Like there's more than meets the eye, there is much inside of us

But there aren't many sizes, there's not much to discuss

'Cause we know it's a big, big world!

**Kevin *(spoken)*:** *Key change!*

**Everyone:** It's a big, big world, but there's lots and lots of us

Yeah, we know it's a big, big world!

## Trivia

* The song is a parody of *It's a Small World* from the ride of the same name at Disneyland (which Giddyland itself is a parody of). Just like It's a Big Big World, *It's a Small World* is said to be one of the catchiest songs ever written.
* This is the second song used to snap hypnotized people out. ("Don't Steal From The Banks")

Ice Queen

**Ice Queen** is a song performed in the episode "The Ice Queen Cometh". It is used to introduce the backstory of Inga the Ice Queen.

## Lyrics

**Inga**: I grew up poor in Switzerland

On a dairy farm

Learned discipline

Milking cows, churning butter

Had to escape one way or another

The cool kids always teased and taunted

But all I ever really wanted

Was to be one of them and not one of me

So I vowed to my cows that one day I would be

**Background singers**: The Ice Queen

She's the Ice Queen

I scream, you scream

We all scream for the Ice Queen!

**Inga**: I'm the Ice Queen, I'm the one who chooses

Who stays, who goes

Who wins, who loses

Now I'm the center of all the trends

'Cause I surrounded myself

With frozen friends

Now I'll never have to be alone

Chilling like a villain

In the arctic zone

So come on in

But put on a sweater

'Cause cool is cold (Cool is cold, cool is cold)

But frozen is better

Frozen is better!

If You Wanna Be President

**If You Wanna Be President** is a song performed in the episode "President Fred".

## Lyrics

It's a race full of pride

So open up your eyes

'Cause only looking forward puts you on top

The competition is fierce

But if you wipe off the tears

They'll love 'em back and make you stop

So if you're strapped for cash

You don't look good in a sash

You might as well give up

Before you try to make a splash

Before you dream that you can win

You're gonna have to learn to spin

If you wanna be president

Well, your intentions are good

But if you're misunderstood

They don't wanna hear you clear your throat

You can promise their dreams

Against the soda machine

But neither one can guarantee you the vote

The crowd will cheer or they'll boo

But they're still looking to you

You better tell them you're the best

And pretend you have a clue

The game is how you schmooze

And get the likes and get the views

If you wanna be president

No matter what the cost

You gotta show 'em who's the boss!

If you wanna be president
Chad Goldenboy

**Chad Goldenboy** is a character from the episode "President Fred". He is a snooty teenager coming from a rich family of uncontested runners for student body council at Eastside High School; a position he too is running for in "President Fred". Much like previous Goldenboy, however, Chad is unconcerned about the school's current state and thus unwilling to improve it, causing Fred to be his lone opponent in the race for student body council.

Gotta Get Away

**Gotta Get Away** is a song featured in the episode "Exclamation Strikes Back". It is heard during Professor Exclamation's pursuit of Kevin, Fred, Hamster, Gretel, and Bailey after their failed attempt to restore Hamster and Gretel's powers.

## Lyrics

We don't need a GPS, we don't need a destination
Well, we're not looking for a permanent vacation
On the run (Don't wanna cause you dismay)
We're on the run (And we just can't stay)

We gotta get away!
We gotta get away

No time to rest, no time for hesitation
We're scared, but we still feel the need for musical narration
We're on the run (Will we end up okay?)
We don't know 'cause there's no time to read the screenplay

We gotta get away!
We gotta get away
We gotta get away!
We gotta get away!

**Abuelita *(spoken, one line)*:** *Hey everybody, it's time for the hora loca! That's the best part of the party. Follow!*

Set up the tables, stand on the chair

Finish a portrait using your hair

And then double-dutch with the kangaroo

Juggle your niece, and your nephew, too

*Oge!*

It's time to throw depression to the wind

Good times are coming, grab your *ese*

Have you been?

Into an airplane upside down

Play a banjo away with an out-of-work clown

Been told you've been moping and feeling down

Come along with us, we're gonna turn it around

Like *whoa!*

Now is the hour to go cra-azy

That's just a direct translation

So the lyrics are lazy!

Tell your *madre* to

Tell your *padre* to

Tell everybody

To live it up at *la Hora Loca*!

*Esta fiesta*

*Chuál de gresta*

Don't be depressed, 'cause

We're living it up at *la Hora Loca*!

## Lyrics

*Lines displayed in orange are only heard on the soundtrack and the credits sequence.*
Who's the improbable duo that you've heard about?

Faster than a scooter, stronger than metal

Who's the little girl and her domesticated rodent?

Who's still standing when they see the dust settle?

It's Hamster (Hamster, Hamster)

Hamster and Gretel (If they can't do it, then nobody can)

Hamster (Hamster, Hamster)

Hamster and Gretel (and also Kevin in the minivan)

*(interlude)*

(Hamster and Gretel!)

*(cont. interlude)*

There's Hamster (Hamster)

Hamster and Gretel

*(Instrumental finish)*

### Short version

Hamster (Hamster, Hamster)

**Also He's A Genie** is a song, performed at the end of "Strawberry Fest Forever", when Dave notices Jeff Strawberry with the rest of the Grant-Gomezes at the dinner table, asking who he is and what he's doing here. The song plays like a life-action family sitcom theme song, parodying TV shows that suddenly introduce a new character to the main cast.

## Lyrics

She saved his life with a mighty squeeze

Now he's like a member of the family

He's forever indebted

He won't let them forget it

'Cause he's living in their garage

And also, he's a genie!
