We gotta get Teardrop to talk.
 
Liy

"Getting Teardrop to Talk" is the 1st episode of Battle for BFDI, the 4th season of BFDI, and is the 32nd (by release date) or 37th (by in-universe order) episode overall in the series.

It was released on Friday, November 3, 2017, after a 1-year, 2-month, and 3-day hiatus since the previous episode.

Two strange creatures named Four and X visit Goiky and convince 64 objects to participate in a game called "Battle for BFDI", where the prize is "A BFDI". The first challenge is to race to retrieve X's baskets that went missing after X let go of them, and they floated off into the air.

Plot[]

Cold open[]

GTTT 007

Pen showing to Eraser the pentagon he found, which Eraser is afraid of.

Pen starts running up to Eraser, but not before tripping over Rocky, and shows him a rectangle that he found. Eraser corrects Pen and says that the shape is a parallelogram and that he would know. Then Pen shows Eraser a pentagon, to his horror. Eraser tells Pen that pentagons are extremely scary. Then the pentagon rattles in Pen's hand, which then puts them in a state of terror. Pen calls Blocky to help them, and he uses Saw to cut the pentagon into a quadrilateral (trapezoid) and a triangle. Pen and Eraser are both relieved that the pentagon is penta-gone.

Foldy is talking to Tennis Ball, who says he is helping Golf Ball look for Leafy. Foldy sees Leafy off in the distance and tells him that she is there. Tennis Ball tries to tell Golf Ball, who is too busy concentrating until she sees Leafy. While walking up to her, Golf Ball knocks into Pin, who drops her blueberry seeds.

Then, the seeds land next to Coiny, who wants to know if Snowball can throw them into a way away pot. Snowball tries but accidentally breaks Cloudy's window. Firey tries, but he drops them. Firey gives the seeds to Taco, who gets the seeds into the pot. Firey and Coiny cheer, then Pin and Needle come over. Pin asks where her blueberry seeds are, as they grow fast when in a pot and are explosive. Suddenly, the blueberry seeds instantly grow, and Coiny and Firey sweat, but Pin leaves to keep looking.

GTTT 060

Gelatin and his fork structure.

Pin asks Ice Cube and Remote if they have seen her seeds. Remote instead shows her a fork, which Yellow Face takes and dumps in a pile. Donut notices the forks, confused as to why Yellow Face has so many forks. Gelatin then takes the forks from Yellow Face's pile and adds them to his Sierpinski Triangle with some help from Puffball. Bell swings on her rope, sending the forks flying.

Bubble is counting to ten in front of Ruby, Pencil, and Match until one of the forks knocked down flies over and pops her. She is revived by the Bubble Recovery Center. After being popped and revived again, Match and Pencil set out to find who's popping Bubble. They all pass by Book, who is playing a game on the ground with Cake and Pie. Pencil tells Book to help, but she declines. Pencil threatens to expel her from the alliance, but she points out that she's an alternate, to Pencil's dismay.

GTTT 083

Loser appears.

Book watches Cake and Pie play tic-tac-toe, and Cake wins. Cake apologizes to Pie for winning, which Pie is fine with. Pencil and the rest of FreeSmart's members walk over to Naily, to which Pencil asks if she popped Bubble. Naily says no, which Pencil thinks she's lying, and picks up Naily. Bomby is scared for Naily when suddenly a high-toned voice saying "STOOOOOOOOOOP," which is revealed to be Loser, who orders Pencil to put Naily down. Pencil and the others are excited and cheer for Loser. Loser tells Pencil to apologize to Naily, which she does. Grassy and Basketball discuss how great Loser is. Loser is walking down when Tree asks Loser to say hi to him, which he does. Tree then says that Loser is his hero.

Liy walks up to Tree and says that they need to get Teardrop to talk. Tree says it's not worth it, but Liy tells him her plan anyway: to have Tree wiggle Teardrop's vocal cords, while she holds her mouth open. Tree refuses, and Liy goes to Ice Cube and asks her if she is cool. Leafy answers that question for Ice Cube, and then says that everyone is cool. Then, Liy and Ice Cube proceed to make Teardrop talk. Bracelety cheers for Ice Cube, and Clock asks why she is cheering Teardrop's "abuse". Fanny tells Clock she hates him, and Clock asks her why she would hate him, as he is standing up for Teardrop. Fanny responds with the fact that "self–improvement only occurs when we acknowledge that our own behaviors are far from perfect, and, dare I say, worthy of hate." Bracelety says that Ice Cube isn't worthy of hate, and Fanny says she is; Bracelety says that Fanny is worthy of hate, to which she admits that she is true. Bracelety, surprised, says that what Fanny said was "very thought-provoking" and thanks Fanny for opening her eyes. Clock tries to tell Liy and Ice Cube to stop "abusing" Teardrop, and only Ice Cube stops. Clock is proud of her decision, but Liy isn't. As Ice Cube continues her "abuse" of Teardrop, Liy and Clock argue, and Bracelety continues to cheer Ice Cube on.

GTTT 128

Ice Cube becoming part of the truce with Clock and Liy.

A fork stabs Teardrop, causing her to bite down onto Ice Cube's legs. Ice Cube shrieks in pain, with Fanny hating her and Bracelety still cheering on. Clock berates Teardrop for "chomping on poor innocent Ice Cube". Teardrop slaps Clock and Liy and runs off. Liy tries to have a truce with Clock, trying to shake his clock hands. Clock doesn't want anyone to touch his clock hands, so Liy shakes his leg. Ice Cube also becomes part of the truce. Fries, looking on, comments that Ice Cube "is good at negotiation after all", and Bracelety cheers Ice Cube on again. Fries tells "Ringy" (Bracelety) that he never said he was a fan of Ice Cube, and when asked, he belittles her, calling her a "mere follower", adding that followers "never win". Bracelety says she hates Fries, and so does Fanny.

Leafy shows up and says she loves everyone, but Fries tells Leafy to be quiet. She interprets this as Fries not wanting to be friends with her and turns to Nickel, Cloudy, Gaty, and 8-Ball and asks them to be friends; Nickel and Cloudy accept, but Gaty doesn't. When she asks Gaty why she says that she doesn't know much of Leafy. Leafy shocked, walks off, assuming Gaty chose to take things "the hard way". 8-Ball then asks Gaty her favorite number, and she replies with "three"; when she asks why 8-Ball says that he wanted to tell her that he doesn't have a favorite number (previously mentioned in "The Reveal"). Cloudy reveals that he has 37 favorite numbers, as he "collected them over the years".

GTTT 153

Pillow telling about her research on arm fluttering gesture.

Teardrop, enraged, sits down at the edge of a cliff. Eggy tries to comfort her with the fact that once, she never spoke. Teardrop flutters her arms in excitement, but Eggy dismisses it, stating that Teardrop wasn't curious. Lollipop asks her why she did that, and she tells her that she tried to get Teardrop interested in one of her life stories, but she wasn't interested. Lollipop tells Eggy about what happened earlier; she tried to sell Teardrop her fork repellent, but she didn't utter a word; she fluttered her arms in excitement instead. Pillow tells them, according to her research, that if one flutters their arms, they do not care. When Lollipop asks her if she and Eggy can get Teardrop's attention, Pillow tells them it may be impossible.

Barf Bag then tries to correct Pillow, stating that Teardrop did care, but she didn't say anything because she can't. Pillow calls Barf Bag's idea "ludicrous", and Lollipop tells her to make sure her "barf molecules" aren't spilling out and "intoxicating" her brain cells. Eggy reconsiders, telling her that Barf Bag's brain being infected with puke wasn't her fault, telling Lollipop not to be mean to her. Enraged, Barf Bag says that the three don't take her seriously, fluttering her arms; Pillow interprets that as Barf Bag not caring. Barf Bag asks Spongy if he takes her seriously, and he does. She is relieved that there is someone that takes her seriously. Meanwhile, Ruby says that Flower is beautiful.

Pencil discusses with Match a new way to deal with their "enemies": Lightning. Lightning's ability was first tested on Spongy. While Pencil and Match celebrate, Bubble is worried that her alliance mates have changed slightly. Match then orders Lightning to zap Flower but is stopped by Bubble, who tells him to do what's right. Lightning declines Match's request, flying off. After that, Pencil demotes Bubble from member to "Bember". When Ruby asks her if she's still a member, Pencil says yes. Ruby screams in happiness.

GTTT 188

Black Hole approaches Earth in order to open the cyanide jar for Flower.

Meanwhile, Lightning flies to Marker and Stapy and asks them if they want to be friends. Marker declines and Lightning proceeds to zap Flower. Marker asks Stapy if he wants to play "Toss the Dirt" with him and accepts. Dora, watching, also digs and unearths a cyanide jar. Flower takes it but is unable to open the jar. She asks Black Hole to do so. At first, he hesitates but accepts after being threatened. He gets closer to Earth to do so. While the jar has been opened, characters like Balloony and David, along with the Bubble Recovery Center, get sucked up, and so does the jar and eventually Flower. As more characters get sucked up, a blue hand crushes Black Hole down to a smaller size, despite being infinite in size.

Four and X arrive[]

GTTT 203

Four deforms Pin.

Black Hole mentions his smaller size. Liy sees Four and asks what it is. Pie suggests that she squish it, which she does, causing Four to scream. Saw tells Liy to stop because she doesn't know what it does. Four then says that he can do this, he grabs Pin and deforms her, shocking everyone. Coiny asks Four if he can bring her back but declines. Coiny then begs at Four to bring her back, fluttering his arms (Pillow sees this as "disrespect"). Fanny says that she hates living where there are no recovery centers, where death is permanent, and Four teases them.

X then appears and also teases them. Surprised by X's appearance, Liy squishes X and says that he has a different texture than Four. Donut runs up to Four and asks him his purpose, calling him a murderer, but is screeched and is stunned. Taco also does but gets screeched. X tells him to stop, but he screeches at him.

Dora, however, can communicate with Four without being screeched and agrees to do something. When Book asked what he can do, Four attempts to screech, but Pillow throws herself at Four and disappears. Bell sighs in sadness, stating that Pin and Pillow are unrecoverable, but Four recovers them and Balloony from his hands. Ignoring Taco's pleads to leave, Four announces that they are going to play a game.

GTTT 230

"I love games!"

Bracelety says she likes games and is very excited. Four then says there will be a prize, and the prize is "a BFDI", which makes everyone excited. X says he loves the prize but gets screeched. Four tasks the soon-to-be Battle for BFDI contestants to form 8 teams of eight people.

Creating the teams[]

GTTT 241

Loser suggests that everyone should be on the same team as him.

8-Ball still doesn't care about the number 8, and asks Basketball to join his team; he also picks Golf Ball and Tennis Ball, but Snowball declines, considering the other balls to be "weak and armless losers." Firey asks Loser to join his team, consisting of Needle, Coiny, and Pin, and Loser accepts Firey's request. Eggy, Clock, and Cake also want to be part of it, and Loser suggests they should be on the same team.

Meanwhile, Snowball asks Pie how many people has she killed before; she hasn't killed anyone. He then turns to Lightning, who had killed (sadly) "dozens" before, and deeming him "powerful", Snowball picks Lightning. Liy, surprised that Pie hasn't killed anyone before, joins her team, and so does Black Hole, Bottle, Tree, and Pillow (who joined because she heard the word "killing").

GTTT 255

Book decides to not be on the same team as FreeSmart, along with Ice Cube.

Barf Bag tells Lollipop, who still thinks her brain is "destroyed", that she can prove her true abilities if they are on the same team. Lollipop still thinks that Barf Bag's brain is still "infected", and due to her "appearance", she turns her down. Offended, she teams up with Spongy. Firey Jr. and Bomby join too. When forming a team, Pencil plans to have the original FreeSmart from season 2, but Book and Ice Cube join Gaty's team instead.

Now part of Gaty's team, Book chooses Dora for her ability to speak to Four without being screeched and Teardrop because she was "abused" by Liy and Ice Cube earlier. Gaty asks Saw to join her team, and she accepts; she brings along Lollipop and Taco. Leafy, meanwhile, wants to help anyone who needs a helping hand and chooses Roboty. She also chooses Rocky, Cloudy, Woody, Nickel, and Balloony.

Yellow Face asks Bell and Foldy to join his team; Stapy comes along too. Marker, Fries, and Puffball also join. Lightning tells Snowball to pick Fanny, who hates everyone. While Snowball says that Fanny has no arms and is a "real, real letdown", he welcomes her in. Bracelety wants to join Ice Cube's team, as it could make her "dream" come true, but it has eight members, as pointed out by Lollipop. Bracelety freezes in shock, and Firey Jr. tells Bomby to grab her while she is "still incapacitated".

GTTT 289

TV and Robot Flower are chosen by Golf Ball for her team.

Meanwhile, Basketball picks Grassy for her team. Golf Ball picks TV and Robot Flower for her team because they are both mechanical minds, and her team needs two to outsmart the other teams. Meanwhile, Pen, Eraser, and Blocky agree to stick together, but Eraser runs to Yellow Face's team after he announces that there is "free food", and Blocky to Grassy's team after he tells Golf Ball that his team is sure to get up to "funny doings". Pen is left alone and without a team.

Flower sees the teams filling up (as Gelatin joins Spongy's team,) and she wants Snowball and Ruby on her team. She wants Snowball so she can ask him to beat people up for her and Ruby because she said Flower was beautiful. She chooses both, including the alliance. Barf Bag picks Naily and Donut on her team; Leafy picks David for hers; Pen joins Remote's team.

Naming the teams[]

GTTT 322

Death P.A.C.T., the first named team.

Pen announces that his team needs a name; Tree doesn't have any ideas, but Liy says that her team is mostly formed to avoid causing death. Bottle says that her team is about "preventing death and creating trust", naming her team "Death P.A.C.T.". Golf Ball says that her team must have "a better name than that", naming her team, not intentionally, but as a statement. While Barf Bag and the other people on her team want their team name to be relevant and sensible, Bracelety names her team "Team Ice Cube!", despite Ice Cube not being on the team.

Yellow Face eats one of Fries' fries, names his team "Free Food" after Eraser was wondering where is it. Firey names his team after Loser, naming it "The Losers!". Pencil considers naming her team "the alliance", but as they aren't all the alliance (Snowball, Flower, Fanny, and Lightning aren't part of Pencil's alliance), Fanny suggests taking "the all" from "the alliance", forming the team name "iance".

Woody, Balloony, Leafy, Cloudy, Nickel, and David all suggest team names, and Balloony asks Roboty to get it to Four, who interprets it as "Beep". Four asks Gaty's team their name, and everyone (except Teardrop) thought they meant their real names; so they said their names, and their team name then becomes all their names said at once.

GTTT 347

All the teams with their respective names.

Four asks the eight teams if they are ready, and Book, Saw, and Teardrop say to wait; Pillow says that the teams are ready. Four says that it's good and then stops talking and moving. The people say that it's time to starts the first contest, but Four still doesn't move or talk while X flies into the air for some reason. Tree and Clock ask Four to hurry up, but he dismisses them with a screech.

Challenge[]

GTTT 361

X loses his baskets, and the competitors have to get them back.

Four points to X, positioned at the top of the 500-step platform, who is about to lose grip of his baskets, and the challenge is to get all of X's baskets to him; the last team to do so is up for elimination. Lightning clarifies that Four's explanation is the challenge, and Lollipop asks Four to get X off of the tall platform; Four doesn't react and screeches Lollipop.

Golf Ball plans to have Blocky and Robot Flower climb a tree because they have arms, TV relay the locations of the basket, and 8-Ball and Basketball weigh down the basket. Grassy asks her his purpose but is belittled, with Golf Ball assuming that he was an "overgrown section of the lawn that the gardener forgot to mow". When Blocky asks Tennis Ball his job, he is also managing the team; Blocky (off-screen) rips him to pieces. Meanwhile, Pen asks Black Hole to tell him the challenge, and after being informed, blows a basket to X. Death P.A.C.T. is confirmed safe, the first team to finish.

GTTT 384

Bleh chases the basket in the hot desert.

Bleh runs through a hot desert to catch the basket, and Ice Cube is on the verge of melting. Foldy and Stapy play rock-paper-scissors, and when Stapy is asked by Fries if he's lightweight, he says he is one of the heaviest. However, Foldy is one of the lightest. Fries plans to throw Foldy into the basket to weigh it down. She hesitates, but he throws her three times, and the third throw rips Foldy into pieces with the propeller on the basket. Stapy is enraged that his friend died.

GTTT 411

"I hate this! I hate this! AHHH!"

iance tries to jump to get to the basket, with no outlook. Fanny says that she hates jumping, and Pencil orders Lightning to zap her for "killing the vibe". Bubble tries to intervene but is stopped by Pencil, who reminds Bubble she is a "Bember". Bubble lets go of Lightning, who zaps Fanny; Bubble cries in shock, while Pencil and Match look at her, grinning evilly.

GTTT 423

The Losers! (except Loser, Eggy and Pin) are stuck in basket.

Over at The Losers!, Cake says that it is an honor to have Loser on his team; Firey says he loves Loser, fluttering his arms (Pillow sees this as Firey not caring). Pin tells her team to focus on getting the basket first, and Coiny and Clock are shocked, thinking that she doesn't like Loser. Firey, deeming her a "hater", throws Pin onto the basket's rotor, causing it to fall onto the team but Loser and Eggy. Loser carries the basket, freeing the team, but puts it over Eggy.

Cloudy tries, with limited success, to pull the basket, despite Leafy's words of encouragement. Balloony eventually gets tired of waiting and launches himself off Roboty's antenna and grabs the basket. He then releases his air to push the basket to X; Beep is then deemed safe. Meanwhile, with Foldy gone, Bell says that there is no hope, as nobody can get up to the basket. Puffball angrily looks at Bell, and Marker asks her to turn around; Bell screams in fear. Yellow Face asks Puffball to get the basket, which she does, making Free Food safe.

With Tennis Ball dead, Golf Ball wants her team to get the basket as quickly as possible. As he reaches the top of the tree, Robot Flower knocks Blocky off the tree. He lands on Basketball, who is too bouncy, but successfully lands on Grassy, covering his fall; Golf Ball says that Grassy is indeed useful. After some thinking, she plans to use a trebuchet Tennis Ball built before he died to get the basket down, using 8-Ball and Basketball as weights to bring the basket down. Enraged that he did the climbing for nothing, Blocky breaks Golf Ball apart off-screen.

GTTT 463

Bleh now chases the basket on the World's Largest Oven.

Bleh is still chasing their basket, which now goes through the World's Largest Oven. Inside, Ice Cube and Lollipop melt, Book starts to catch on fire, and Teardrop evaporates. Over at Team Ice Cube!, Gelatin suggests using Bomby to launch them to the basket, enraging Donut and Firey Jr.. Although, they ignore the fact that Barf Bag and Bracelety are already using Spongy as a trampoline to get Naily up to the basket, making Team Ice Cube! safe.

GTTT 480

Clock preparing to launch the basket to X with his pointers.

Meanwhile, iance futilely continues to jump to get to the basket. Match tells Bubble to stop thinking about Fanny, Ruby to close her eyes, and Snowball to trim off the two "L"'s in his name as they make them jump lower. However, this doesn't do anything. When she asks [Flower] to do something, Match says they're enemies, and she doesn't want to talk to her, but Flower says they don't have to be. Meanwhile, Clock launches the basket to X, making The Losers! safe.

Only A Better Name Than That, iance and Bleh are left. After Golf Ball's death, 8-Ball successfully manages his team, using the trebuchet to launch the basket, making A Better Name Than That safe. iance and Bleh are left.

GTTT 506

Iance loses the challenge and is up for elimination.

The remaining members of Bleh (Saw, Taco, Dora, and Gaty) are swimming through molten lava to get to the basket, with Book exploding into flames earlier. Meanwhile, Ruby tries to reach the basket, to no avail. The two teams are shown trying to get the basket in an over-dramatic fashion, and Saw succeeds; Pencil still has a half-mile to go before she can reach the basket. Saw brings X's basket back to him through a staircase, making Bleh safe. Match comments that jumping "worked earIier", but since they haven't got a basket to X, iance is up for elimination.

Stinger[]

X has gathered all of his baskets. He then decides to put four baskets, one on each of his sides. He then starts to spin quickly while screaming.

Trivia[]

  • This is, so far, the fifth-longest episode in the series (behind TPOT 2, TPOT 4, BFB 30, and BFDIA 5, if you add all of the parts). It is the fourth-longest if not counting the split episodes as one.
  • Some characters' voices in their first lines were pretty different than in future episodes, like Saw having a deeper voice, Gelatin being voiced by Graham Taylor, and Cloudy lacking an accent and having a higher voice.
  • This marks the first appearances of Stapy, Liy, Foldy, and Loser.
  • This is one of the episodes with the most contestants in object show history, clocking in at 64.
  • Robot Flower and Firey Jr. don't appear in the episode until Four arrives.
    • Roboty is at least present during the intro sequence with Black Hole, making the other two tied for taking the longest to appear.
      • Coincidentally, both are variations of other characters, specifically season winners.
  • This is one of the episodes to mention a character's name in the episode title, with the others being "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?", "Fortunate Ben", "Four Goes Too Far", "This Episode Is About Basketball", "The Four is Lava", "The Escape from Four", "X Marks the Spot", "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", "Who Stole Donut's Diary?", and "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters".
  • Donut has a deleted line when he asks Yellow Face about the forks, he originally said "Yeah, I know that, but why?" but the "I know that" was cut for an unknown reason.
  • Nonexisty and Evil Leafy were the only contestants who haven't been seen in this episode.
  • This is the first time Firey Jr. and Grassy speak.
  • This is the first episode where one of the members of FreeSmart gets demoted (Bubble = Member to Bember).
    • Bubble would later get demoted to a "bemb".
  • On November 11, 2017, Cary jokingly stated on Twitter that BFB 1 was just a ploy to get people to watch jacknjellify's old animations more.[1]
  • When Four is killing Pillow, you can hear the "fight Cary" sound effect, from a video by Michael of the same name.
  • Teardrop technically spoke in this episode when everyone was chattering about winning a BFDI.
  • When Pin mentioned that the blueberry seeds were fast-growing, a lower-pitched version of the Evil Leafy sound effect played.
  • Out of all the deaths that happened in this episode, Bleh had the most deaths due to the World's Largest Oven and the molten lava killing them, except for Dora and Saw.
  • This episode marks Snowball, Woody, David, Eraser, Pen, Leafy, Flower, Bubble (officially), and Blocky's first time competing since BFDI.
  • This episode doesn't seem to link with IDFB, how we got from IDFB to BFB is remaining a secret.
  • According to Cary, three months had passed between the completion of the episode storyboard and the release.[2]
    • They started planning the episode on July 1st (1:04:40 in the video), so the episode took 4 months in total.
  • During the scene when iance is jumping, the voting music plays. This is possibly to foreshadow iance being up for elimination.
  • When Blocky picks up Saw, the item box smash sound effect from Mario Kart can be heard.
  • When Pin asks Ice Cube and Remote if they have seen her blueberry seeds, Satomi's icon can be seen in the sky.
  • Excluding Teardrop, this is so far the only BFB episode where every character has a line/makes a vocal sound.
  • This is the most viewed BFB episode, and the channel's most viewed video from 2017.
    • It used to be the most viewed video on the channel since the hiatus following BFDIA 5e.
  • The sound that Flower made while trying to open the jar of cyanide is the same as the sound that Ice Cube made while trying to break the ending ribbon in "Take the Plunge: Part 2".
  • On September 10, 2020, this episode was marked as "made for kids", due to YouTube trying to comply with COPPA. This change was reverted on September 21, 2020.
  • This episode marks the first time where Coiny isn't on the team that loses first.
  • Pillow was originally going to say the F-word swear instead of "fluff", but was changed to be suitable for everyone. The original line can still be found on the BFB 1 storyboard, although the word is censored.
  • This is the first episode to use drawn limbs. However, the old walking animation is still occasionally used to this day.
  • Needle, Firey Jr., Fries, and Cake don't have their names mentioned in this episode.

  • The text "Rectangle" is written in the same font as "Fabulous" used at the start of "Take the Plunge: Part 1".
  • X's line "So much value!" is a reference to XFOHV.
  • The word "Credulously" is spoken the second time, the first time being "Cycle of Life", both are spoken by Match and both are followed with Match saying "Snowball".

  • 8-Ball's catchphrase denying he has a favorite number is a reference to his debut audition at "The Reveal".

  • Ruby calling Flower "beautiful" is a reference to "Take the Plunge: Part 1" when Ice Cube says "um, no" to Flower when she asks if she's beautiful.
  • The scene where Dora sings her "island song" while digging a hole is a reference to "Get Digging".
  • When Flower asks Black Hole to open the cyanide jar for her, Flower's phrase "If you don't (help me open it), I'll (crush) you!" is used.
  • The reference where Pen was in debt to the people who voted for him to rejoin from "Gardening Hero" is used.
  • The name origin of the team A Better Name Than That reflects the name origin of Another Name (where Golf Ball accidentally names her team by her own words).
  • The same animation of Bubble jumping is reused from the BFDIA episode "Get in the Van".
  • Nickel saying "It's an awfully long way." when Cloudy was struggling to get the basket is a reference to "Zeeky Boogy Doog" when Nickel said, "It's an awfully long way up the Eiffel Tower."
  • All the new characters are based on older videos:
  • Cloudy's Collection has several references to old items from BFDI.
  • Flower's pose on the voting screen is a reference to her pose in Total Firey Island.
  • Puffball getting angry when Bell says that no one can get the basket, along with Marker telling her to turn around is a reference to "Get Digging".
    • Plus, Puffball being angered by a variation of the line "nobody here can fly", and then Bell rings. In the same episode, when Firey says the same thing, he lights her on fire.
  • When Bleh was deciding their name, the same sound clip was used in "Take the Plunge: Part 2".
  • When Blocky heard Grassy say "FUNNY DOINGS" and said it was the team for him, it was a reference to Blocky's Funny Doings International.
  • Tree is doing his IDFB intro pose in Liy's plan to get Teardrop to finally talk.
  • The face Bell makes when she knocks over the stack of forks is the same one she makes inside the TLC in the intro for IDFB 1.
  • When iance is jumping, Ruby can be seen using one of her IDFB intro poses.
  • Tennis Ball quickly building a trebuchet is a nod back to "Get in the Van", where he mentions quickly building a trebuchet to escape Evil Leafy.
  • The fact that Pin's blueberry seeds grow fast may be a reference to "Get Digging", where Yoyleberry seeds grew in seconds.
  • Bomby's sign when cheering for Loser is the same sign from BFDIA 2 when making fun of W.O.A.H Bunch.

Cultural references[]

  • The Mario Kart item box break sound effect is used when Blocky grabs Saw.
  • Gelatin's and Puffball's stack of forks make a Sierpinski triangle before Bell wrecked it.
  • The voice that whispers Loser in the scene where Liy is trying to get Teardrop to talk is a reference to season 3 episode 2 of Rick and Morty, which contains a scene of Jerry standing outside with a similar whisper in the background.

Goofs/Errors[]

  • When Bell knocked down the fork stack, the two forks that Gelatin added to the stack of forks stay in place.
    • The stack of forks starts to fall down before Bell hits it.
    • None of the forks are facing left and just fall, but in the next scene, 2 forks do that.
    • While the stack was knocked down, it appeared that Gelatin was in front of the forks when he was behind them.
    • The forks at the bottom start pointing left and then suddenly point up-left.
  • At 7:57, Barf Bag's limbs, eyes, and mouth are transparent.
  • When Golf Ball says, "If we want to win, then our team must have a better name than that," her voice is not pitched up. However, this may have been intentional so that the team jingle would match up with the line.
  • The Bubble Recovery Center text glitches out for a second after Bubble comes out of it.
  • At 9:54, when Flower almost looks at at Black Hole, Flower's left leg at the bottom is cut off.
    GBGBGB

    Golf Ball's face is tinted gray but not her legs.

  • The intro contains some errors:
    • Robot Flower's limbs are missing.
    • Tree is missing and later being shown.

    • Bell’s string is missing.
    • When Grassy's grass is wiggling, it almost reveals his right eye.
    • Pen's mouth at his first shot is not colored in.
    • Four's hand is off of his body when his hand is going round, So, it would be impossible when his body is not shown.
    • Pencil's, Coiny's, Tennis Ball's, Balloony's, Book's, Bubble's, Rocky's tongue is is greyish-pink.
    • Puffball's shadow is going through the bush even though it's meant to be behind.
    • It would be impossible that Four squished Black Hole but even though he's in the intro.
    • The middle-back and the other characters appear out of nowhere.
    • The grass somehow moves at the end of grass scene.
    • Four has no white outline while he uses his hand, but now he does.
    • Black Hole is bigger now while the intro, but at the grass scene, he is now small.

  • Remote's red button switches places on her head twice.
  • When Loser takes the basket off The Losers!, it would be facing upside down when it landed on Eggy, likely crushing her. However, this doesn't happen and it quickly switches to cover Eggy.
  • When Eggy talks to Loser wanting to join his team, the audio is duplicated.
  • When Golf Ball invites TV and Robot Flower onto her team, TV shows the placement of the other two mechanical minds. However, Remote hadn't joined a team yet.
  • During the challenge, X's baskets were as big as he was, but when X put the baskets on, they noticeably shrunk to fit on the corners of his body. However, those could be other baskets as he had more than 8 baskets, as shown in the ending.
    • He also spun even though his corners pointed directly outwards.
  • Nickel's mouth moved when it showed the eight teams in the main area.
    • This may have been from when the theme for Beep played.
  • Flower's arm cuts in front of the cyanide jar several times.
  • Bubble's mouth is grey for two frames after Lightning zaps Spongy.
  • At 11:47, in the bottom right corner, the grass tufts suddenly appear.
