00:00Episode 4. Wow, only two to go. Let's boogie.
00:04Future Shock from Season 4. I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
00:08Almost like... I'm really going to hate this episode or something.
00:12So we see Clover and... Mandy doing cheerleading practice,
00:17only for Mandy to botch a Tower of Doom spot.
00:20It's broken! It's broken!
00:23Yeah? Your arm? Your leg?
00:26My manicure!
00:28Oh no! She broke a nail and now her cheerleading career is ruined?
00:35Chalk up another one.
00:37So David, that hot-looking dude that just about every girl this season was thirsty for,
00:43suggests that Mandy join the high school's TV station until her nail grows back.
00:47Since they only shoot from the waist up, no one will see your hands.
00:50That is a brilliant idea! After all,
00:53what more do you need to get through life than a pretty face?
00:55You know, every time you speak, you weaken the nation.
01:00Truer words never spoken after what we're about to witness.
01:03Later on, Jerry has the girls do inventory on all the gadgets,
01:07only for Alex to accidentally use his time machine thingy,
01:11which transports the girls to the faraway distant year of 2025.
01:16Okay, Jerry seriously couldn't find a better place to put that thing.
01:21He just had all that stuff out there in the open that they
01:24could have accidentally touched or used.
01:27Eh, what the hell.
01:28I look forward to seeing what Kamala's America looks like in 2025.
01:33Orange man is in jail, gas is under $2.
01:38I hope this video ages well.
01:40Well, one thing's for sure, everyone's fashion sense is certainly unique.
01:46Purple and white jumpsuits with white bike helmets?
01:50And later on, we actually see the older versions of the girls wearing
01:54chrome miniskirts?
01:55There, sure glad I don't look stupid in this.
01:58How can you feel good if you don't look good?
02:00Totally, it's what's on the outside that counts.
02:05Wait a minute, that voice, that laugh, it, no, it can't be.
02:12Then how can you know who to date?
02:14Tune in tonight for a very special live edition of As the World Revolves Around Mandy.
02:19No, that's not true.
02:21That's impossible.
02:23Girls, I don't think we're in Beverly Hills anymore.
02:31Well, we're fucked.
02:34We're 15 years in the future?
02:3720.
02:37Who cares about math?
02:38I just lost my youth.
02:42Boy, they're not kidding when they say it goes by fast.
02:45I don't blame you, Clover.
02:46To think, American Idiot is now considered classic rock.
02:5120 years just goes by so fast.
02:54So somehow, by Mandy joining the school's TV station, she managed to garner so much
03:00fame and power that she has now mandified all of Beverly Hills.
03:06You know, if you think Project 2025 is going to be a horror show, no, no, no, no, no.
03:13This, this, this, this, this, this.
03:16Mandy ruling the world.
03:18Mandy shall rule the world.
03:20It's going to be the worst thing that's going to come out of this thing.
03:23It'll be the end of mankind.
03:25It'll be Mandykind.
03:28Well, at least they have flying cars.
03:30Yay.
03:31The girls go to Whoop HQ only to find it long abandoned.
03:35Gladys still works, but she explains that Jerry had himself cryogenically frozen for
03:39100 years so he could figure out a way to make himself live longer.
03:43Have you ever heard the song Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen, Jerry?
03:47Immortality sucks.
03:49You'll be, you'll be around for the rest of whenever, but everyone around you will be
03:53gone.
03:54It sucks, man.
03:55So the girls decide to head to the TV show Mandy was hosting where we meet totally moms.
04:02Yes, we now have the girls all grown up in their late 30s in these giant canister things.
04:11So, uh, Sam, would you marry me?
04:17Now.
04:18Okay.
04:18Okay.
04:19Nevermind.
04:20Nevermind.
04:21So it turns out Mandy has the adult spies locked up in this weird device that she uses
04:26to mandify everybody and brainwashes them into becoming her own Mandy minions.
04:32Well, well, well, what freak of nature do we have here?
04:39Future.
04:42Future.
04:45Look at her.
04:46She looks like she raided Blackfire's wardrobe.
04:49So now that she's mandified all of Beverly Hills, she now plans to mandify the whole
04:54world and the next world and the next world and every multiverse and Mandy-verse and God,
05:00it will be a level even lower than hell.
05:02The girls try to fight off the Mandys, but are quickly losing their energy due to being
05:06in the future too long.
05:07They all get jobbed out and put into the machine.
05:10Could this be the end of our heroes?
05:13Of course not.
05:14Because Sam just so happens to have her super wind tunnel hairdryer thing to just blow a
05:20hole into the glass.
05:22And you needed your adult counterpart to help you out with that?
05:25What else do you have in that backpack, Sam?
05:27A bazooka?
05:28So our totally spied out crew finally step in to make an end to mandywars.com.
05:34I am the number one megaglobal celebrity!
05:37You can't do this to me!
05:39So Mandy's defeated, the girls revive Jerry, he decides to reopen Whoop, and sends the
05:44young trio back to 2005.
05:47Clover tricks Mandy into using her nail restoring polish thing, and Mandy decides to go back
05:52to cheerleading again.
05:53So the moral of the story, everybody?
05:56Don't give Mandy power!
06:00This episode was terrifying, but thankfully it's over.
06:03And I hope we never, ever, have to deal with Mandy ever again.
06:11Because I believe in Steve.
06:14Great, great Steve, what's the final...
06:20Mother ape ass!
06:26You owe me another commission, Steve.
06:28Oh, and by the way?
06:30Alrighty, so Clover is getting ready for the Miss Beverly Hills beauty pageant, but she
06:35isn't sure what she wants to do as a talent.
06:38I guess she forgot how to play guitar since the first season, but whatever.
06:43Um, maybe we should actually enter the pageant first.
06:46Or better yet, don't bother!
06:49Yeah, Mandy's entering the pageant too.
06:52It's like she's latched onto Clover like an ugly cyst.
06:55She just won't go away!
06:56Sorry, girls!
06:58Gotta run before too much of your uncool rubs off on me!
07:02Excuse me!
07:03Oh, oh wow.
07:05She's even worse than before.
07:08Oh, we definitely saved the best episode for last, everybody.
07:12So to get an edge over the competition, Clover decides to go to a spa.
07:16Only to find out that Mandy is there too.
07:19Better make my hair, smile, eyes, and attitude bigger.
07:24Because bigger is all that matters when it comes to winning pageants.
07:27Yes, Mandy wants to make her hair, smile, eyes, and attitude bigger.
07:35Those are totally the only things she wants to make bigger.
07:41We all saw that one episode of Brace Face, Mandy.
07:44You're not fooling nobody.
07:46Oh, and remember Diminutive Smalls from Shrinking?
07:49Yeah, that little bastard is back.
07:51And he wants revenge on a certain blonde in red.
07:54I may be small, but let's see how you like being really, really tall.
08:01Well, I'm checking her wiki page now, and it says that Clover is only five foot five.
08:06I'm sure making her taller would just give her a new sense of confidence, no?
08:10Unless you're...
08:12Oh, no.
08:14So Clover gets her makeover and comes to the school with a new sense of confidence.
08:18Only to find that Mandy got herself the same treatment, but is now as tall as Raka Khan.
08:25Somewhere Brian Alvarez is having a seizure right now.
08:28So not only has the treatment increased Mandy's physique and agility,
08:32but also her bitchiness as well.
08:35Just absolutely beating the shit out of everybody without mercy.
08:48Oh, this is just getting ridiculous.
08:55Where is that referee?
08:57He is trying to fuck on Mandy.
09:00Later that day, the girls are hanging out at a new mall called The Groove when...
09:13And she destroyed the Dippin' Dots too!
09:16Not the Dippin' Dots!
09:18And to finally cement Mandy as quite literally the biggest megabitch of all time,
09:23she kidnaps several of the pageant members and takes them hostage.
09:28And no, no, no, no.
09:31I do not care that her ass is now a quarter inch bigger.
09:35She is, was, and will forever be a massive bitch.
09:43You have done well, megabitch counter.
09:46Run along now.
09:47So yeah, it turns out the reason for Mandy's growth spurt
09:52is because Small's microchip he intended to use for Clover
09:56ended up getting used for Mandy.
09:58But fear not, he eventually does get to use it on Clover.
10:01Oh, and apparently he altered it so that it doesn't work on clothes.
10:19Horny little bastard!
10:21So we finally get the big epic showdown between giantess Clover and giantess Mandy.
10:27Cue the appropriate battle music!
10:32So let me get this straight.
10:45Small's big revenge plan was to make Clover into a giantess,
10:50and in the process he inadvertently helped her fight off Mandy.
10:56You're telling me, Smalls!
10:57Eventually, Sam is able to get a hold of Smalls in larger gun thingy
11:02and reverses it to shrink mode, so Clover and Mandy are shrunk back down.
11:07Smalls gets sent back to jail,
11:09and Jerry has whoop-erased Mandy's memory of today's events.
11:12Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
11:14She cost millions of dollars in damage, kidnapped people,
11:18hurt people, probably killed people,
11:21and she destroyed the Dippin' Dots,
11:23and the only punishment she gets is mind wiped out?
11:29Where's my Mandy is a bitch counter when you need it?
11:31Not that it matters, because they both lose the pageant anyway,
11:35and the episode ends with the two of them having another catfight on the stage.
11:39I give this fight a star and seven eighths.
11:41And that, my friends, is Totally Spies.
11:46What a weird show this was.
11:48Between all the fan service, the weird gizmos,
11:51and all the crazy and bizarre antics,
11:53it's definitely one of the strangest spy shows you'll ever see.
11:57It's like something you would watch with Safe Search turned off.
12:01Even though it's technically supposed to be a kids cartoon,
12:05but it certainly doesn't feel like it.
12:07But, you know, as weird as the show is, I will say this.
12:12I wasn't bored watching it.
12:14In fact, I dare say this show is actually kind of fun.
12:19I mean, it has action. It has comedy.
12:22It has those crazy gizmos.
12:24The animation looks vibrant and colorful.
12:26The main characters are likable and brimming with personality.
12:30And you know what?
12:31That's what you want in your spy cartoon.
12:33If you want to watch more Totally Spies,
12:36currently the official YouTube page has all of the first six seasons uploaded for free,
12:40while season seven is still airing in France.
12:43Granted, I've seen clips of season seven and it has problems.
12:48Particularly with the Aaron Esheron's looking animation.
12:52Yeah, how is it we're 20 years in the future and everything looks somehow worse now?
12:58I'm telling you, if they start using AI animation, I'm gonna get mad.
13:03But I don't have time to discuss it.
13:05Just be careful what episode you watch because you never know what they'll throw at you.
13:10So I hope you guys all enjoyed this little extended review
13:14and watch out because that pyro might be a spy.
13:18I'm the Hardcore Dude.
13:20Peace out and cease.
13:23Oh hey, my pizza's here.
