### Full name:

"Eastern Valley Intramural League Sparring Contest of High School Electronic Mascots" Robots

## Membership information

### Amount of members:

2

The **E.V.I.L. S.C.H.E.M.E. Robots** are a duo of animatronics in the episode "Friday Night Fright". Based on the Eastside Plumber, these robots were created for the Eastern Valley Intramural League Sparring Contest of High School Electronic Mascots (or E.V.I.L. S.C.H.E.M.E. for short; the last E being a typo), a robotic battle competition that the Eastside High School's engineering club qualified for. The animatronics have a glitch in their system that causes them to go hostile when being exposed to camera flashes.

Hiromi and Fred have found these robots when secretly following Principal Funderberk during the events of "Friday Night Fright", as they try to discover what's going on. The animatronics going hostile due to Hiromi's camera flash, along with the acronym found on their crate, the wording of the principal and him being accompanied by a shifty-looking scientist (which turns out to be a physics teacher), they were convinced that Principal Funderberk was secretly evil, and wanting to use these robots for some evil scheme.

## Physical appearance

The two animatronics are based on the Eastside Plumber. One is based on the plumber himself, using his appearance of a middle-aged man with a plump face, mustache, toothy grin, gray shirt, dark blue overalls, brown belt, brown boots, yellow gloves, and blue cap with a golden letter P. The other is not directly based on the plumber: instead, it appears to be a white toilet with eyes, eyebrows, a dark blue bowler hat with a blue and gold polka-dotted brim, and a blue and gold polka-dotted bowtie. When active, their eyes glow yellow and green.

Like the character it is directly based on, the plumber animatronic carries a plunger with him. Unlike the Eastside Plumber, however, his animatronic counterpart is able to carry the plunger in its right hand as well, or sometimes not having to carry it in any hand at all.

Churro's Day Out

**"Churro's Day Out"** is the second segment of the twentieth episode of the first season of *Hamster & Gretel*, and the thirty-ninth episode overall. It is paired with "Let's Sea What You've Got" and premiered on Disney Channel on June 24, 2023.

While the Grant-Gomezes are taking a family portrait at a high class photographer, Hamster accidentally lets Churro escape the house, and has to find him and return him home.

## Plot

Dave overdramatically bids goodbye to Churro as the Grant-Gomez family leaves the house to have their family portrait taken by Raúl, a man who has many strict rules regarding how pictures are taken, including prohibiting pets from joining the photographs. This leaves Hamster free to enjoy himself, only for Churro to escape when Hamster opens the door to receive a pizza he ordered. When he eventually realizes that Churro is gone, Hamster enlists the help of Fred to locate him via a tracking device Dave installed in his collar. However, each time the rodent comes close to catching the dog, he manages to escape once again.

As Hamster is on the verge of giving up, Fred suggests that he think about what Churro wants more than anything else. Hamster then finds Churro outside of the studio at which the Grant-Gomezes are having their picture taken and quickly realizes that Churro desires to be in the photo. Hamster admits that he wishes for the same and the two pets enter the studio, with Raúl being moved by Carolina declaring that they are part of the family.

I Got Beef

**I Got Beef** is a song performed in the episode "Grounded", during the fight between Gretel and the Sloppy Joe Monster, with Gretel trying other ways to defeat the meat monster after realizing her arms really are too short for her to fight it from her room window.

## Lyrics

I got beef

(You got beef)

I got beef
(You got a beef with beef)

And if you get a little sloppy when you're playing from the home base (You got beef)

I got beef

Momma said not to leave your room

But the timing of this punishment is inopportune

You got work to do, so you better push, too

**Gretel (one line):** She doesn't have to know about this little costume

It's the letter of the law, a technicality

You're not breaking rules, you're figuring out how to be

The kinda pint-sized hero you're proud to be

'Cuz this mean meat monster's your reality

I got beef

(You got beef)

I got beef
(You got a beef with beef)

And if you get a little sloppy when you're playing from the home base (You got beef)

I got beef

(You got a beef with beef)

So fly, she's gotta fight ground beef (You got beef)

Sloppy Joseph is explosive, had to find a way around it

It's a whole lotta fun when you stick to your guns

Trying to treat you like a burger, put you back in your buns

I got beef

(You got beef)

I got a beef with beef

(You got a beef with beef)

I got beef

I got a beef with beef

(You got a beef with beef)

Abuela's Rules

## Music information

### Writer(s):

Joanna Hausmann
Dan Povenmire

## Video

"**Abuela's Rules**" is a song featured in the episode "Abuelita's World".

## Lyrics

**Background Singers:** Abuela's rules

They're not open for negotiation

**Abuelita**: I keep my cool
Unless I see a little education
About responsibility!

Ay, mi amor, I told you both before

Don't leave your dirty shoes in front of the door

But first things first, we clean every room

A vacuum is lazy, here's a broom

Stop pouting, no smirking, and don't you slouch

Now take this plastic and cover the couch

Don't do it sloppy, we're not in a rush

Clean the mop with the sponge, clean the sponge with a brush

Don't give me that look, don't get defensive

We hang all the clothes, the dryer's expensive

And we do not use the dishwasher

You are the dishwasher

**Background Singers:** Abuela's rules

They're not open for negotiation

**Abuelita:** I keep my cool

Unless I see a little education

About responsibility!
Bailey Carter

**Bailey Carter** is a major supporting character in *Hamster & Gretel*. She is Gretel's best friend, and quite likely the biggest fan of the superhero Gretel. Because of this, she's quick to identify many similarities between the two Gretels, such as both of them having a hamster named Hamster. Despite this, she was cluelessly unaware that her best friend and her idol are one and the same, something which Gretel and her brother Kevin intended to keep it that way for as long as possible, from up until "My Invisible Friend" and "The Bitter Sitter".

## Physical appearance

Bailey is a young girl with a dark skin complexion, dark brown hair held up in two pigtails, and black eyes, she has a high-pitched voice. She wears a yellow long sleeve sweater with green shorts and yellow shoes. She also wears dark-red glasses.

*Click here to view a full list of outfits and designs for **Bailey Carter** throughout the series.*

## Personality

Bailey is an excitable, kindhearted and optimistic girl who is an avid and loyal fan of the superhero Gretel, having set up a fan club for her and being it’s president. A flaw of hers is that she can be clueless, as shown as she wasn’t fully aware of her best friend Gretel’s secret identity. This can also result in others, such as Tina, taking her kindness by advantage. When someone betrays her trust, she can be easily upset but quick to forgive.

At the Science Fair

**At the Science Fair** is a song performed in the episode "A Mammoth Problem", as Gretel and Kevin enter the auditorium where the Eastside Elementary School science fair is held.

## Lyrics

Did you wanna see crystals growing in a glass of sugar water

Or wonder which is faster, a beaver or an otter

You're impacted by the attraction of a magnetic field

In this auditorium it will all be revealed

And if you're a fan of chemical reactions, then say no more

I think we've got a baking soda volcano for your perusal

And if you want more

Just take a look around, and there are thirty-four!

At the science fair

**Boy 1 *(spoken)*:** *Potato batteries!*

**Girl 1 *(spoken)*:** *A volcano!*

At the science fair

**Boy 2 *(spoken)*:** *Balloon race cars!*

**Boy 3 *(spoken)*:** *And volcanos!*

We've got all the answers for which you strive

You might even see volcano number thirty-fiiiiive

**Boy 4 *(spoken)*:** *It's almost done, it's almost done!*

Yes, knowledge is in the air

At the science faiiiiiiiir

Ernie plans to launch this cake onto the whole city. He cuts the rope, causing the cake to fly out of orbit.

I Want Your Attention

## Video

**I Want Your Attention** is a song sung by Gretel in trying to get Kevin's attention. It is used in the episode, "The Opposite of Smart".

## Lyrics

**Gretel:** I don't like what's going on here

I can't help but feel demoted a little

I used to be your favorite, now there's something wrong here

Went from first chair cellist to a second fiddle

I don't like being an also-ran

A runner-up, an honorable mention

I want you to see me

I want your attention

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin

Look at me

I'm having tea

I'm in a tree

Hey, look, I'm on TV

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin

Listen, mister

I won't be ignored

I'm your little sister

And did I forget to mention?

I want your attention!
Billy

**Billy** is a character from the *Hamster & Gretel* episode "Hamnesia". He's a little boy that apparently found Hamster after losing his memory, thus had taken him under his ownership, dubbing him Peanut. The two have become fast friends.

However, it is later revealed that Billy was actually a disguise of a villain called The Imposter, who had deliberately given Hamster amnesia earlier in the episode, and only sought to gain his trust in order to get a prototypical superweapon. Because of this, it is currently unknown where the real Billy is.

## Physical appearance

Billy appears as a small boy with a medium skin complexion, dark brown eyes, and caramel brown hair. He wears a red sweater, bluish gray pants, and blue and white sneakers.

## Personality

Billy appears to be a sweet and innocent boy, kindly taking in Hamster to patch up his injury and keep him as a pet. Billy seemed to have a history of being bullied, and was never able to make a friend before meeting Hamster. He is shown to be a loyal owner, spending the day with Hamster as they do various activities.

All of this is later revealed to be a ploy, as Billy is actually a disguise by The Imposter in order to gain Hamster's trust.

Creepy Doll Factory

**Creepy Doll Factory** is a song performed in the episode "Finding Professor Ex". It plays while Gretel, Nordle and Tobor navigate through the abandoned doll factory in search for Professor Exclamation, solving riddles and encountering frightening hazards along the way.

## Lyrics

You better watch your step

'Cause the danger lurks ahead

With those plastic eyes

Waiting in ambush around the bend

With a jump scare, takes you out

Makes you want to scream and shout

Shattering your nerves like glass

But you won't hear them as you pass

These silent halls of creepy dolls

Their broken faces line the walls

Everything you've ever known will trap you here

Don't come alone

Creepy doll factory

Abandoned for half a century

With plastic and wood in every room

And booby traps to seal your doom

Creepy doll factory

If you're in pain or agony

They will not show you sympathy

They'll just keep smiling and staring

At yoooooou

At yoooooooooooou
Darren Dark

* Regular
* Imaginary

**Darren Dark** is a character in *Hamster & Gretel* that appears in the episode "Saturday Homecoming Fever". He's the host of an online video tutorial series called *Darren Dark's Disco Dancing Demo*, in which he instructs the hottest dance moves from 1973.

Darren Dark appears to be impatient, as he angrily yells when his pupils don't immediately follow his instructions.

## History

### Season 1

Darren Dark is first shown in "Saturday Homecoming Fever", as Kevin has watched his videos in preparation for the disco-themed homecoming school dance that same evening. He's already shown to angrily yell while Kevin was waiting for instructions. Throughout said homecoming dance, held in the school's PE auditorium, an imaginary floating head of Darren Dark occasionally pops up next to Kevin whenever he needs advice (such as when interacting with Hiromi; Darren Dark's advice usually boils down to "when in doubt, boogie-boogie-boogie", and still yells angrily when Kevin hesitates (unless it's about slow dancing, which Darren claims it's easy to the point he wouldn't yell about it).

Darren Dark's advice to "boogie-boogie-boogie" is actually helpful to Kevin when The Destructress and FistPuncher arrive at the dance to wreck it, as he challenges the two to a dance battle (with Hiromi joining him on her accord), in order for Hamster and Gretel to sneak into the auditorium with Fred without the villains noticing. As the dance battle commences, Darren Dark's instructions appear to have merit, as Kevin and Hiromi appear to be incredibly good at dancing. As it turns out, Hiromi has watched *Darren Dark's Disco Dancing Demo* in preparation for the homecoming dance as well, explaining why she and Kevin are so in sync compared to FistPuncher and The Destructress.

## Lyrics

Fighting facial hair (Do-bee-do-bop, da-do-bee-do-bop)
Fighting (Do-bee-do-bop)
Fighting facial hair

I know you think you've finally found your place,
but don't get all up in my face
Better watch yourself, you'd better behave
Or I think you're gonna get yourself a real close shave

Fighting facial hair
Listen up, my follicular fiend
You're about to get your dirty clock cleaned
You might want to stop (Stop!)
And take an inventory,
'cause I think you'll find I'm gonna get depilatory (On you)

I don't want to be a hater,
but I guess I'll see you a bit later
Never thought I had to do this any time, any place, or anywhere
Fighting facial hair (Do-bee-do-bop, da-do-bee-do-bop)

Oh yeah!

Listen!
If you're feeling like a fight, but you don't want to get punched in the face (Oh no)
There's an alternative to violence, and all you need's a thumpin' bass (Yeah!)
You don't have to resort to fisticuffs
Just get out on the floor and strut your stuff!

(Dance battle!)
You're less likely to bleed in a...

It's no time to concede in a...

Just shake whatever part you think is most effective (Effective!)
'Cuz let's be honest, the scoring is really subjective!

There's no weapons involved, it's a...

## History

### Season 1

Coach Mendez is first seen in the beginning of "Two Girls, A Guy and the Council of Düm", overseeing a dodgeball match with Gretel, Bailey and Nordle on one side, and Leroy on the other. After a flubbed formation with Bailey and Nordle, Leroy catches the ball as thrown by Gretel, causing Mendez to announce Gretel is out.

In "Nano a Nano", Coach Mendez interrupts Tucker's tormenting of Kelly as he announces to the class that they'll begin a basketball match, which he specifies he has not given his students any training in this sport whatsoever. When Kelly's inexplicable cyborg arm (which, unbeknownst to anyone was made by multiplying nanobots) not only catches the ball Tucker had thrown, but also manages to score a three-pointer by ricocheting the ball off of Tucker's face, Mendez was cheering along with the students.

During a vacation at a bayou-side town, Kevin and Gretel go on investigation in the swamps to prove to their parents that the legend of Bayou Barb isn't real.

## Plot

During a family outing to a bayou diner, Dave tells Kevin and Gretel the legend of Bayou Barb, a woman who fused with waffle irons and a tree laced with toxic waste after losing control while driving on a stormy night. Kevin and Gretel believe this is merely a hoax designed to attract tourists and attempt to prove it by following a lead from a bayou employee. Hamster leads the two down a trail of maple syrup, only for them to find that it originates from the employee, who tells them she is aiding the town in keeping the legend alive. After the encounter, however, Kevin, Hamster, and Gretel run into what they believe is someone pretending to be Bayou Barb before eventually realizing that the legend is true after all.

After a battle involving Bayou Barb continually throwing waffles at them, Kevin, Hamster, and Gretel convince Bayou Barb to expose her existence to the town and return to her diner job. Bayou Barb accepts this proposal and enjoys copious amounts of fame. Dave and Carolina then prepare to take Kevin and Gretel to Swampopolis, an amusement park they stated they wanted to go to originally, only for a townsperson to direct them toward a "half man, half goat, half lawnmower" legend.

You'll go to jail, you'll get no thanks
Don't steal from the banks

You'll end up doing real hard time,
so don't lead a life of crime

**Fred:** You don't want to end up with a past that checkered
This all goes on your permanent record!

No, don't commit felonies
You can't afford all the legal fees,

Frank's Discounted Discount Costumes

**Frank's Discounted Discount Costumes** is a rental costume company seen in the episode "The Bantam of the Elementary School Light Opera". As the name implies, the company sells and rents out various costumes for bargain prices. However, as the name also implies, the service and product aspects is also substandard, which the owner, Frank, proudly emphasizes in commercials for the company. Two known aspects are that the costumes that are sent to a client may or may not be the precise costumes they ordered or needed, and that the costumes they ordered may or may not smell like onions.

At the end of the episode, it is revealed that Christine DePoulet now works at Frank's Discounted Discount Costumes as the company's new mascot, which is in fact the Bantam mascot Christine had been wearing since the mid-1990s.

## History

In "The Bantam of the Elementary School Light Opera", Kevin had to order viking costumes for Hiromi's production of *The Vikings of Venzance*, and chose to order them at Frank's Discounted Discount Costumes because he was working on a budget. However, as the order arrived at the school, Kevin and Hiromi discovered they got astronaut costumes instead. As Hiromi asked where Kevin ordered them from, the episode cuts to a commercial for the company, in which Frank states he "got what you need, or maybe not", and that any client is guaranteed to "get something in a box", as the commercial ends on a jingle that reiterates the last part. Later, as Bailey asked why the astronaut helmet smells like onions, the episode cuts to another commercial, in which Frank states that any costumes orders might smell like onions, as a jingle similar to the first plays.

At the end of "The Bantam of the Elementary School Light Opera", a third commercial plays, in which Frank reveals that they got the Bantam as the company's new mascot. The commercial ends on another jingle, followed by Christine DePoulet, still wearing the bantam costume, clucking like a chicken.

You think you've got it?

You think you've got it handled

Well, I think that's cute

Now's you're chance

If you think you wanna dance

You've got a shot, take it

Baby, just shoot

If you think you're so bad

Step up and show me

'Cause I think you better take a step back

You don't know me

(Listen!)

I'm the bomb, I'm the best

I'm better than the rest

I think you'd better study up

'Cause this will be on the test

(Baby, I'm the bomb)

I'm the tip of the top

I say jump, you better hop

'Cause I'm the bomb (I'm the bomb)

I'm gonna blow you up

You keep on pushin'

Yeah, you keep on pushin'

Just push your luck a little more

You know it's gonna break

(You're gonna break)

Don't lose your head

'Cause you're hanging by a thread

Overconfidence is gonna be

Your last mistake

If you think you're so bad

Step up and show me

'Cause I think you better take a step back

You don't know me

(Listen!)

I'm the bomb, I'm the best

I'm better than the rest

I think you'd better study up

'Cuase this will be on the test

(You know that, baby, I'm the bomb)

I'm the tip of the top

I say jump, you better hop

'Cause I'm the bomb (I'm the bomb)

I'm gonna blow you up
Big Jen (jingles)

## Big Jen

The **Big Jen** jingles are a couple of short songs performed in the episode "Flake It Till You Make It".

The final variant at the end of the episode reveals that the short songs are preformed by Love Händel from *Phineas and Ferb*

## Lyrics

### Variation 1

Big Jen!
We don't know why people love her!

### Variation 2

Big Jen!
There's always traffic around her!
Whyyyy?!

Why does everybody trust her?

### Variation 4

Big Jen!
We thought you'd want to see her one more time!
Animus Machina

**Animus Machina** is a minor villain character in *Hamster & Gretel*. He briefly appears in a montage at the beginning of "Superhero Sibling Rivalry", in a second instance of Kevin and Gretel arguing during an attempt to stop villainy (following an attempt against a running villainess, and preceding one against a skeleton-dressed one).

As indicated by his name, Animus Machina commandeers an army of mechanical animals.

## History

So far, Animus Machina has only appeared in "Superhero Sibling Rivalry", being part of the second of three consecutive days in which Gretel and Kevin focus more on arguing with each other than the villain they're fighting. On this Tuesday, Animus Machina's robotic animals are terrorizing the zoo, and as Gretel is rounding up the robots, she's arguing with Kevin that she's not "always late" and that Kevin is "always early" instead. Their bickering has gone far to the point that Animus Machina, standing on a mechanical elephant, steps in and points out his presence as the evil villain that Gretel and Kevin need to be facing. Instead, he's being told to stay out of their arguing.

Don't you give me that talk back, slide under the wire
Don't you give me those rollin' eyes
'Cause I've got time to cool down, but I'm still on fire
And I'm in no mood to compromise

Just keep on swingin', you ain't hit nothin' yet
You can see me through the venomous fright
So, come on, baby, shake off the lutz
'Cause I'm tellin' you right now, it's just another Friday night!

Just another Friday night

I Think We'll Break For Lunch

**I Think We'll Break For Lunch** is a song featured in the *Hamster & Gretel* episode "The Bottle Episode." It is heard during the montage of Kevin, Hamster, and Gretel using the Muddy Bess' steam to write a message to Fred while trapped in a bottle at Tchotchke Jones' shop.

## Lyrics

Well, stump that furnace and shovel that coal
Just work your backs and bones
Need to make our situation known
Just work your backs and bones

We've been shrunk down to the size of ants
But if we're gonna stand half a chance,
we either get this engine rollin'
**Hamster**: Or go down with Davy Jones

Well, the ship is small, but the crew is smaller
No one can hear us when we holler,
and the glass is way too thick for us to break through
with just a punch

If we fill this bottle up with steam,
we could write a note that could be seen
But I'm getting hungry and feeling mean,
So I think we'll break for lunch

**Hamster**: *I think we'll break for lunch.*
