Premise
*"Stephanie wants to throw a thank-you party for Sportacus, but she's afraid that her friends' bad manners will ruin it. the supervillain Robbie Rotten poses as Miss Roberta, an expert in manners, and teaches the children to misbehave even more and tempt every single one of them and even worse crash the thank you party for Sportacus. When Robbie accidentally falls and ends up with a bush on his head, it's up to Sportacus rescues him before he trips over."*

Trivia* The kids made a cake for Sportacus, but he can't even eat cake because it would give him a sugar meltdown.
* On July 19, 2010, when this show was pulled from Nick Jr.'s lineup, this was the final episode to be broadcast. The series moved to Sprout in 2011.
* Once Stephanie has finished doing her chores for the party she decides to dance to some music. The music she plays is "We're Dancing" and she sings the first verse, followed by the last later in the episode. The full version of this song isn’t featured in any episode.
* This is the first time that Robbie disguises himself as a woman to trick the kids. He disguises himself as a woman in "The Fortune Teller" and in "Robbie’s Dream Team".
* This is one of the few episodes where Robbie Rotten wins, even where it is exposed and not fulfilling the main goal.
* This is the second episode where Stephanie cries.
* This episode's title may be a reference to the film **"Mrs. Doubtfire"**.
* Stingy and Robbie Rotten's dialogue "For how long did you say?"; "FOREVER!" from Sports Day and Dr. Rottenstein is reused, only this time, Robbie stops himself before he yells.

Quotes* Stephanie: (After hearing Ziggy burp) Ziggy, you promised.
* Ziggy: I know, but the burp came before I could stop him. Or her. Maybe it was a girl burp.
* Stephanie: Last time we had a party, the kids went kinda wild. Ziggy kept burping, and Stingy hid all the presents.
* Milford: Oh yes. I remember I found one of the presents in my breadbox.
* Robbie: Whoever invented high heels must've been very short.
* Robbie: (Reading) "Rule #3 Don't eat with your fingers." What are you suppose to do? Eat with your toes?
* Robbie: (as Miss Roberta, egging on Stingy to open presents) Yeah, that's my boy! Rip the paper! (as Miss Roberta) Rip the paper, my son. Rip the paper.
* Robbie: (to Ziggy, as Miss Roberta) Release your inner burp.
* Robbie: (normal voice) And now my evil plan begins.
* Kids: Huh?
* Robbie: (as Miss Roberta) And now the lesson in manners begins.
* Robbie: (as Miss Roberta) Just leave everything to Miss Roberta and your party will be a huge success.
* Milford: Oh, I love parties. And I love bacon, too.
* Robbie: (Reading) "Rule number 2" (Holds up four fingers) "Always chew with your mouth closed." (Attempts to do as the book says) Hmm... If you chew with your mouth closed, how are you supposed to jam more food in?
* Robbie: WHATEVER! IT'S NOT POLITE TO STARE! GIVE ME THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* The shot where Stephanie was dancing is mirrored, you can see it by the pink bracelet on her arm. The bracelet is worn on the right hand, and in the frame on the left
