Race Against Time

**Race Against Time** is a song performed in the episode "Math Punch" during Hamster and Gretel's attempt to save the city from a cellphone tower-bound energy ball created by Rodney Thunderpants. It later plays again when Gretel uses math to save her brother from falling into Dead Person's Gulch on a runaway steam train.

## Lyrics

Now, here's an anecdote I've got

About a locomotive

Just to note, it may sound made-up

But it's true

We're not sure of his motive

But this villain is devoted

To a cowboy-themed aesthetic

That we're all still working through

He's a lightning-powered cowboy

Let's just wrap our brains around it

Though the imagery's confusing,

I guess that's just what we've got

We're on a crash course towards disaster

And this train is going faster

'Cause the brakes are broke, the throttle's down

and we've only got one shot

*(pace quickens)*

It's a race against time

(It's time to save the city)

With power on the line

(But they both are itty-bitty)

Oops, they hit that sign

Going to shift to overdrive

Don't want to turn the clock back to 1895

(It's a race against time)

*(spoken interlude)*

It's a race against time

(Mathematically exciting)

With power on the line

(Look at her dividing!)

She's also multiplying

They've got a brother to save

And a train to outrun

But first, carry all the ones (wow!)

*(spoken interlude)*

(Whoa-whoa whoa)

(Whoa-whoa whoa)

(Whoa-whoa whoa)

(Whoa-whoa whoa)

La Cebolla (song)

## La Cebolla

**La Cebolla** is a song performed by La Cebolla in the episode "La Ballad of La Cebolla."

## Lyrics

People know me from their TV

I was on the popular telenovela

So mellodramatic, my fans were estatic

till my character got salmonella

They wrote me out of the show

There was not a thing that I could do

For the writers, they all knew that my only shortfall

was that I just could not cry on cue

I thought that maybe

I could get my job back if I cry

There are seventy-five or eighty

onion-themed remedies that I have tried

But still, no tears

It was here in my darkest hours

when a light from the heavens shone down on me

and gave me this one superpower

Now, I talk to onions

'Cause the onions hear me when I speak

I guess to be truthful, it's not all that useful,

but at least I can say I'm unique

Call me La Cebolla

I have this power that came from the sky

*Por que no puedo llorar,* I'm no longer a star,

so the rest of the world's going to cry

Call me La Cebollaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

*Call me La Cebolla.*
Minivan

The **minivan** is a major recurring vehicle in *Hamster & Gretel*, being Kevin's primary mode of transport after getting his driver's license, as stated in the cold open of the first episode. The minivan is also stated to belong to his mother, which he uses to drive his sister Gretel around to several appointments (e.g. school), even before she and Hamster received superpowers.

It was briefly called the **Kevinmobile** in "Cutie and the Beast", when Kevin was trying to become a superhero himself.

## Trivia

* The fact that the minibus belongs to Kevin and Gretel's mother, Carolina, is accentuated upon in the Dutch version of the *Hamster & Gretel* Theme Song, with the lyric "And also Kevin in the minivan" being localized as "En Kevin in de suffe bus van Ma" ("And Kevin in the dull van of Mom").
* Kevin having to chauffeur Gretel around town for both daily life appointments and superhero duties is an aspect Dan Povenmire had based on his relationship with his youngest sister back when he was 16 years old: like Kevin, he also had to chauffeur his ten-year old sister around town for appointments.

The Earworm (character)

## The Earworm

* Super
* Casual

**The Earworm** is a villain in *Hamster & Gretel*. From a family of judgmental over-achievers, he was a hair stylist on an episode of *Tonight's the Night* guest starring Hamster and Gretel. Realizing the chance to become richer and more successful than the rest of his family, he seized that opportunity to take their DNA for extensive research, become a successful jingle writer, and create a catchy jingle with hypnotic undertones that only affect Hamster and Gretel.

## Physical appearance

The Earworm is a tall, lithe, fair-skinned man with blond hair, done in a rather tall flattop hairstyle. He also has dark brown eyebrows, yellowish brown eyes, and pronounced cheekbones and chin. He wears a pink and green outfit that mashes the literal equivalents of "ear" and "worm" together. The "worm" part of the outfit is a green onesie with thin, light green stripes, resembling caterpillar segments. The two pant legs are also replaced with a large tail that the legs fit in, making the suit difficult to walk in with. The "ear" part consists of a flesh-colored tank top that goes over the green onesie, and has a ginormous collar shaped like an ear. Additionally, the Earworm wears sunglasses and a green pair of headphones. The large, ear-shaped collar, the worm tail and the sunglasses make the Earworm's silhouette resemble that of a giant cobra.

The Earworm's civilian outfit consists of a pink dress shirt with a green vest over it, as well as dark brown pants and a pair of brown shoes. He also wears a pair of glasses with light blue temple pieces.

## Personality

Growing in a judgemental family of overachievers, Earworm has a low sense of self esteem and a high degree of pettiness. He is a ruthless opportunist who will go for great lengths just to one up his family, even if it means harming others for his own gain.

## Skills and abilities

The Earworm has no supernatural powers, but being from an overachieving family, he is talented in a slew of fields, which includes hair styling, science, and music writing. One feat includes searching for the sympathetic vibrations of Hamster and Gretel's specific DNA using strands of their hair, while simultaneously building up a new career as a successful jingle writer (to which he graduated summa cum laude). This, in turn, has him able to write a cereal jingle with hypnotic undertones that only affects Hamster and Gretel.

## History

In "The Earworm", the Earworm had Hamster & Gretel steal things because he used to be a TV hair stylist who used the DNA of Hamster & Gretel to hypnotize them into executing his plan to become rich and famous.

## List of appearances

### Season 1

* "The Earworm" (First appearance)
* "Two Girls, A Guy and the Council of Düm"
* "Exclamation Strikes Back" (Appears in flashback(s))

## Trivia

* He is the second villain to hypnotize people after Coach Haggerty.

Juggling Jack

**Juggling Jack** is a song performed in the episode "I Was a Teenage Mad Scientist". It plays during a VHS tape recording of Professor Exclamation's high school years, where it's revealed that he was widely known for his juggling skills, earning him the name "Juggling Jack."

## Lyrics

Juggling Jack is cool

He juggles all the time

He's the chilliest kid in school

No way he'd turn to a life of crime

Juggling Jack is fly

He juggles everyday

You know him, he's that guy

Who just puts juggling on his resume

All he wants to do is juggle

He's really such a carefree fellow

To Juggling Jack, it's not a struggle

To keep tossing objects in the air while catching them

While keeping at least one of those said objects in the air at all times

It sounds like a lot, but

Juggling Jack

He just stays mellow (mellow)

Yeah, he's so mell―

The Ballad of Bayou Barb

**The Ballad of Bayou Barb** is a song performed in the episode "Bayou Barb". It tells the legend of Bayou Barb, the original owner of the bayou diner the Grant-Gomezes visit during their vacation.

## Lyrics

Bayou Barb was hauling waffle irons

And skillets in her trunk

Along with mixers pots and pans

And other kitchen junk

The night was dark and stormy

She was going way too fast

Not knowing that that midnight shift

Was gonna be her last

Now coming up on Dead Man's curve

She hydroplaned, began to swerve

The car, it launched off of the curb

Into that old oak tree

The one thing that she never knew

A truck had spilt some toxic goo

In another single vehicle collision recently

**Male Narrator *(one line, spoken)***: And then there was a mighty lightning strike.

Then Barb, the tree, the toxic waste

And the kitchen stuff all interlaced

In one horrific medley

Of wood, and steel, and flesh

Barb was changed forever

But perhaps not for the better

Just a woman and her waffle iron

Forever intermeshed

Bayou Barb

Over you

## Lyrics

**Gretel:** Good things always come in twos

Like a pair of socks, or a pair of shoes

Like windshield wipers or skates or skis

Chopsticks are in? I'll take two, please

Two's a really nice, round number

Three's a little odd, it'll make you wonder (make you wonder)

It's gotta make you wonder

There's a third wheel on a two-wheel bike

It's an arrangement I find really difficult to like

'Cuz there's a third wheel, gotta add number three

But is the third wheel her, or is it me?

Too Cute to Clobber

## Video

**Too Cute to Clobber** is a song performed by Gretel in the episode "Cutie and the Beast". The song plays as she tries to fight the Giant Otter that is inadvertently causing destruction in downtown, but finds it too cute to do anything against it.

## Lyrics

(Boom boom-boom-boom, baby, bow-bow-bow-bow bow, bow-bow) *×2*

**Gretel:** He's wreaking havoc wherever he goes

He's stepping on cars, he's wrecking downtown

But he's got big eyes and a cute little nose

So it's logistically challenging to bring him down

The destruction he's causing is horrible

It’s too bad he's so freaky adorable

He's too perky to pound, he's too sweet to swat

I'm giving it my all, but it's all that I've got

He's an endearing monstrosity from out of the water

And he must be stopped, but he's too cute to clobber

I don't want to quit (He's too cute to clobber)

But he's too huggable to hit (He's too cute to clobber)

He's too pretty to punch (He's too cute to clobber)

I'd say we break for lunch

But why bother?

He's too cute to clobber!
Strawberry Festival

The **Strawberry Festival**, also called **Strawberry Fest**, is a traveling theme park that appears in the *Hamster & Gretel* episode "Strawberry Fest Forever". It is made in honor of, and founded by Jeff Strawberry, a daredevil stunt performer with an endless determination. As such, the theme park is filled to the brim with high octane, daredevil attractions and activities. Strawberry-themed iconography can be seen throughout the park.

In "Strawberry Fest Forever", the Starwberry Festival happens to be in town, with Gretel and Carolina spending the Sunday there, the latter expecting calm and safe activities such as picking strawberries, dismayed that the Strawberry Fest is quite the opposite of that.

## Notable attractions and activities

* A rock band concert, performing a song written for the park.
* A tent that hosts a documentary about the history of Jeff Strawberry, and the foundation of Strawberry Fest. Many dioramas and historical items are put on exposure as well.
* **Ferris Wheel of Fear** - A ferris wheel that atypically features two wheels instead of one, attached on a spinning beam akin to an Ali Baba pendulum ride. The wheels are able to spin ultra-fast, the beam can exhaust flames and features a pink inflatable tube man, and can also be split up to extend the wheels even further away from each other. The cabins are shaped like strawberries.
* **Balloon Carnage of Death** - A stand that hosts a balloon popping game, but instead of darts, attendees use giant axes or a flamethrower to pop the balloons. The stand appears to be medieval-themed.
* **Monster Truck Demolition Derby** - A demolition derby in which contestants drive in monster trucks in an arena, and try to demolish each other. The last truck standing wins a giant plushie of Jeff Strawberry.
* A variety of strawberry-themed catering stands, including one selling strawberry smoothies.

Jacques Cassoulet

**Jacques Cassoulet** is a character from the episode "Over the Hill". He is the proprietor of Coifs by Cassoulet, a hair salon for both dogs and their owner. He's also the inventor of the Prim-O-Matic, a special machine that can perfect a small dog's hairstyle even further (as long as the machine's setting is not turned up past the red line, lest the Prim-O-Matic shears a pup off its fur entirely).

In "Over the Hill", Kevin and Hamster's hair have become overgrown, and visit his boutique for haircuts.

## Trivia

* Keith Ferguson voicing Jacques has been mistakenly credited for the episodes "Saturday Homecoming Fever" and "Dr. Eelgood". It's possible that Jacques Cassoulet was initially supposed to debut in either of the two episodes.

Pi-Rat

**Pi-Rat** is a minor villain from "I'm Bored". It's the X-Terminator's trump card, which Hamster has to defeat before Pi-Rat eliminates him instead. Pi-Rat's name is a pun on a variety of things incorporated into its design, meaning that it works on many levels: it's a pirate-themed robotic rat with a large Pi symbol on its chest. On top of that, it bakes delicious pies. The X-Terminator initially wanted Pi-Rat to have a parrot with it, but he couldn't find one quickly.

## Physical appearance

Much larger than the previous cyborg rats, Pi-Rat has a bulky body with a rat head that features a metallic beard and an eyepatch, giving it an anthropomorphic design. It has a pirate hat, anchor symbols on its thick forearms, a left peg-leg, and a belt. It also features a yellow Pi symbol on the two hatches on its chest. Said hatches can open to reveal the oven within its chest.

It is unknown if Pi-Rat used to be a live rat like the other cyborg rats, or if it is an entirely robotic creation.

## Personality

Because of it being a robot made by the X-Terminator, Pi-Rat serves him loyally and will basically always listen to his commands, much like his Cyborg Rat brethren. Like the other Cyborg Rats, Pi-Rat serves to destroy all rodents, which includes Hamster.

## Skills and abilities

Unlike the horde of Cyborg Rats Hamster has faced before, Pi-Rat is a lot stronger on its own, or at least more difficult to deal with in comparison.

Pi-Rat also has laser eyes, which have shown to be able to fry the fur on Hamster's head. The lasers can also burn through the cables that keep the round cage it and Hamster were in suspended.

## History

### Season 1

In "I'm Bored", the X-Terminator decides to send Pi-Rat to destroy Hamster after the latter has defeated the army of cyborg rats in a cage fight. Pi-rat enters the scene by riding on a boat with a sail resembling a wedge of cheese, and gets into the cage. After explaining its name, the X-Terminator commands Pi-Rat to attack Hamster, as it begins to shoot lasers. The ongoing tussle makes the X-Terminator hungry for nachos, as he steps away from his booth to make some, commanding Hamster and Pi-Rat to resume the fight as they pause. During his absence, Hamster makes Pi-Rat shoot the cables with Kevin's help. With only two cables left, Pi-Rat begins losing balance, as upon Kevin's suggestion, Hamster snaps the remaining two by running in the cage as if it were a giant hamster ball, forcing Pi-Rat to run alongside him to remain balance. The cage rolls throughout the building, forcing Kevin and the X-Terminator to run away, leading them outside. As the impromptu hamster ball gets out of the building as well, it launches into the sky after hitting some parked cars, with Pi-Rat still inside and Hamster already having flown out. The cage then crashes on top of the X-Terminator, with Pi-Rat getting dismantled due to the impact.

Let's See What You've Got

**Let's See What You've Got** is a song performed in the episode "Let's Sea What You've Got", as Bailey assists Gretel in discovering new superpowers during their day at the beach.

## Lyrics

Can you freeze time?

And stop a clock from ticking?

Can you taste your favorite ice cream someone else is licking?

Can you stretch your arms

And make your legs all rubbery?

Can you control water?

Can you control sand?

Can you levitate a towel

Or grow an extra hand?

Can you use your mind

To sculpt a topiary

Out of this shrubbery?

Can you grow a fake mustache?

Can your eyes perform hypnosis?

If someone sneezes near you

Can you give a diagnosis?

Let's see what you got

What you got

Let's try something new

Even if it's inconsequential

Let's just see what you can do

Can you talk to fish

Or boss seagulls around?

Let's give it a shot

I don't want to put you on the spot

Let's see what you got

What you've got (Yeah!)

Let's see what you got (What you've got)

All right!

Let's see what you've got

List of image scene transitions in Hamster & Gretel

*Hamster & Gretel* has a frequent visual running gag in special **image scene transitions**. These are special transitions from one scene to another, that use a spinning comic book backdrop, a superimposed image that zooms in and out, and an action-themes musical sting playing over it. Commonly, the superimposed image is of Hamster and Gretel themselves, typically having a neutral expression, but often having another expression as well; however, the transitions may regularly use other characters like Kevin or Fred, or even different objects instead. The images used in these scene transitions are typically unique, and only a few of these images have been reused for later episodes. The image used for the transitions have typically been relevent to the scene that precedes it, or sometimes to the scene following it; rarely are they irrelevant to any situation.

These scene transitions are inspired by the scene transitions used in the 1966 *Batman* television series, which coined these kind of transitions. The transitions that *Batman* use, also involve a spinning backdrop with a zooming superimposed image (which, in this case, is typically Batman's symbol, found on Batman's suit and on the Bat Signal), and an action-themed musical sting, derived from the series' theme song. The incentive to use transitions inspired by those of *Batman* likely stems from the fact that *Hamster & Gretel* is a superhero-based comedy series as well.

This article lists every scene transition that has been used in *Hamster & Gretel* so far.

## Trivia

* *Milo Murphy's Law*, a previous show co-created by Dan Povenmire, also had a scene transition inspired by *Batman*, added in the episode "The Phineas and Ferb Effect" (a crossover with *Phineas and Ferb*, another show co-created by Dan Povenmire). The scene transition has an image of Milo, Diogee and Perry the Platypus superimposed to it, and the action sting is the same one that would eventually be used for *Hamster & Gretel*.
* Out of all *Hamster & Gretel* episodes so far, "Friday Night Fright" has used the most image scene transitions, showing a total of seven unique transitions.

Neighslayer Rap Battle

## Video

"**Neighslayer Rap Battle**" is a song performed in the episode, "Neigh, It Ain't So!", as Gretel challenges the Neighslayer to a rap battle in order to save Hamster from an acid dipping without actually fighting the villain.

## Lyrics

**Neighslayer**: So I took a couple apples, you can just lay off
I mean, they grow on trees, you couldn't take the day off
You agitate and irritate, you threw my game way off
But now, I'm here to tell you, you can just neigh off (Whoa!)

I'm a horse-themed villain, and I'm spittin' some rhymes
You're just a little girl and you're up way past your bedtime
I'm not playing with you, there's no ropin' or rangling
I've got your partner right here, precariously dangling.

**Gretel**: Don't worry about my bedtime, you are not my mom
And I didn't mean to interrupt your little horse prom
You stole a cart of produce, how are you the one that's mad?
And your rhymes are so corny, you remind me of my dad (Oh!)

Now you're gonna drop my partner in a vat full of acid
Well, I hate to break it to you, but that plan is kind of flaccid
You think that's a threat? I'm gonna help you out (Oh!)
You forgot he can fly, that's what I'm talking about!
**Hamster**: *Word.*

Ms. Jamanpour

**Ms. Jamanpour** is a recurring character in *Hamster & Gretel.* She is Gretel and Bailey's teacher at Eastside Elementary School.

## Physical appearance

Ms. Jamanpour is a lady who has wavy, dark brown hair, thick eyebrows, a brown skin complexion, and wears red lipstick. She wears a pink shirt with a blue jacket and wears purple pants. She also wears what appears to be gold earrings and a necklace.

## Personality

Ms. Jamanpour appears to be a bit eccentric, possibly to appear more as a fun teacher; as shown in "Sleepover with the Enemy", as when she announces special news to the class, she jokingly announces that her apartment still has termites, before introducing new student Tina. In "Romancing the Scone", she explains to the class why in English, a book is called "book" instead of "lawnmower" (an entirely non-sequential comparison). Also in "Romancing the Scone", when deciding her students should do their book reports in pairs, Ms. Jamanpour decides to do way with letting the students work with a friend and instead determine the pairs at random because "life isn't fair". As Gretel and Nordle are paired up and the students in question visibly groan, Ms. Jamanpour gleefully exclaims it as the first of life's many disappointments.

Ms. Jamanpour's decisions on who gets their turn may seem ironic. In "Dr. Eelgood", when at the Bring Your Child To Work Day event that lets students' fathers showcase their job, Dave comments on how he'd hate to follow after Roman and his impressive VR video game, Ms. Jamanpour immediately calls Dave to the stand to let him talk about his own job. In "Romancing the Scone", Gretel and Nordle plead to fate to not pair them up with each other, when that's exactly what happens.

Ms. Jamanpour may not be all to knowledgeable on how a VR technology-based video game works, as seen in Roman's VR game from "Dr. Eelgood", as she keeps walking against a lamppost while asking if anyone knows how to turn around.

## List of appearances

### Season 1

* "Dr. Eelgood" (first appearance)

Key To The City

**Key To The City** is a song performed by Theo and the Nepobabies in the episode "Exclamation Strikes Back". It is performed in honor of Hamster and Gretel receiving the key to the city.

## Lyrics

Hamster and Gretel
They got the key to the city
They got the power, they got the clout
If you don't like it, you can get the heck out!

You know, it's merely symbolic
It doesn't even open any doors
It doesn't mean the city's yours
Nobody's quite sure what it's for

*(interlude)*

So if you want the key to the city,
You've got to go through that committee,
'cause we're not some two-bit town anymoooooooooore
Oh yeah!

Taco Crunchies (jingle)

## Taco Crunchies

**Taco Crunchies** is a short song performed in the episode "The Earworm". It serves as a jingle for the eponymous, taco-based cereal, Taco Crunchies.

The person who wrote the song for Taco Crunchies, however, had ulterior motives with writing the jingle, as it actually serves to hypnotize Hamster and Gretel to do his bidding at night, as he orders them to steal goods and money, and do menial chores while under his control. As such, while hypnotized, Hamster and Gretel sing a slower mantra derived from the jingle.

## Lyrics

### Commercial version

When you've just got out of bed, and you've already got the munchies,

Taco Crunchies, Taco Crunchies, Taaaaaaco Crunchies!

***(spoken):** Taco Crunchies: when you like your tacos sweet, and drenched in milk!*

### Hypnotic mantra version

When you've just got out of bed, and you've already got the munchies,

Taco Crunchies, Taco Crunchies, Taaaaaaco Crunchies.

Tina

* Casual
* Super

**Tina** is a reformed antagonist in *Hamster & Gretel*. She is a spy from the new, technologically advanced nation of Bolgylvania, who had the mission to kidnap Roman Carter and have him design a video game for Bolgylvania, as the country's video game industry is lacking. In order to accomplish this, she posed as new student at Gretel's school and became fast friends with Roman's daughter, Bailey.

## List of appearances

### Season 1

* "Sleepover with the Enemy" (First appearance)
* "Game Changer"

## Trivia

* She is the first child character to be a super villain.
* Tina is also the first villain to have reformed, as she stopped antagonizing Gretel and aborted the mission (in turn letting Bailey and her dad go) once reunited with Grobla.
* The metal claw appendages on the back of her villain outfit may be inspired by Doctor Octopus from the *Spider-Man* comic series by Marvel, who has similar metal claw appendages.
Mrs. Maybank

**Mrs. Maybank** is a minor character from the *Hamster & Gretel* episode "Grounded." She is an elderly neighbor of the Grant-Gomez family, living in a house that is part of the same complex as theirs. She appears to be quite blind (even while wearing glasses), and forgetful as well.

## History

### Season 1

In "Grounded", as Hamster has lifted up the house complex in order for Gretel to investigate the trouble at the Old Appaloosa Campground while abiding to her grounding, Mrs. Maybank gets herself ready for an appointment with her optometrist. As she's about to leave, she is shocked, as if because of the complex she's about to leave being airborne. However, she actually just realized that she forgot her phone, and goes back inside.

This happens again when Hamster and Gretel have found the Sloppy Joe Monster attacking the campground: again, Mrs. Maybank appears to be shocked as if seeing the monster, only to go back inside because she forgot her glasses. This happens a third time during Gretel's fight against the monster, as Mrs. Maybank gets literally launched outside to then bounce back, as she goes inside because she realized she left the stove on.

Once Hamster and Gretel's whole adventure is over, and the house is back to its place, Mrs. Maybank is finally ready to meet the optometrist, only for her to realize her appointment is actually on the next day.

## List of appearances
