Taste Twice

[@ZuperNEZ]

One taste was a verb and the other was a noun.

[@sanjeev6677gaming]

Thank you mr/ms engrish techer.

[@Emu-]

But one was a verb and the other was an adjective?

[@Discerned_]

@@Emu- I'm afraid the second taste was indeed a noun. Bitter would be the adjective.

[@maniacaal]

@@Emu- adjective describes a noun

[@skinlessfairy]

This got me thinking of what it would be like if Becky had Tobey's role and vice versa.

[@RightHandElf]

Diegetically: the city would be gone.
Narratively: Tobey would win because he's the good guy.

[@pina_nina_fresa]

@@RightHandElf while it is 100% true that narratively the good guy would win, I do like that this show often ends with Becky getting the short end of the stick, like she doesn't get rewarded just because she's the main character like other shows often do, Scoops gives his special valentine to Violet, Violet wins class president over Becky, Becky doesn't get the playground named after her etc.
I can appreciate a children's show that is willing to give their main character a technically good ending but not necessarily the one they want

@@RightHandElf That's not how you use diegetically...

[@TheFansOfFiction]

@@pina_nina_fresa If I remember correctly, things don't always work out for Wordgirl either. Doesn't she usually face a lot of scorn from the public whenever she defeats that yarn grandma or the spoiled kid (I forgot their names)?

I bet you Becky was gonna say “you can just say bitterness of defeat.”

[@nas0518]

I don't know if saying "Taste" twice counts.

[@bloodred255]

he said brick twice too, its a saying. its allowed.

[@mightyfilm]

The first taste was a verb, the second one was a noun. Technically nothing wrong with it, but Toby made an awkward sounding comment and caught it to keep up his diabolical genius kid facade.

[@nas0518]

@@bloodred255 Well, brick by brick counts because it makes sense saying that a building has so many bricks and when it's demolished, bricks scattered everywhere.

[@Yabadabadoo16]

Count's as what?

[@ajlogomanthecreepysusiefan5502]

Tobey: “I plan on destroying the entire city, brick by brick.”
Becky: “But why would you do that?”
Tobey: “Because I CAN of course!”
I don’t know *CAN YOU* Tobey?

Patton Oswalt is such a fun voice actor

[@DrRank]

I didn't even notice that it was him until the camping episode, when he switched to his normal voice for one scene.

[@disgustof-riley]

Not sure whether that word usage was tasteless or not tasteful enough

[@cyclops8238]

For PBS KIDS show that just got dark fast. Lol

[@GreenBoy9000]

I don't get it.

[@roseywolf7867]

They had writers from family guy in this show so Wordgirl is basically PBSKids Gravity Falls

[@MiddleEasternBorder]

I wonder why this guy still wants to keep hanging around with someone who totally disagrees with his plans, especially who is also his alleged arch enemy?

[@nikosrnec3193]

Tobey likes Wordgirl because he believes her to be the only person his age who is smart enough to be his girlfriend and he also wants to prove that he is smarter than her. Destroying the city is usually just a means for him to get her attention.

[@MiddleEasternBorder]

@@nikosrnec3193 yeah, but that is Wordgirl. I'm referring to Becky as herself. If he asks if she is Wordgirl, of course she's gonna deny her alter ago. If he tells her his plans, of course, she's not gonna agree. There are plenty of kids in his class whom he could talk to, but somehow all his interactions are mostly with her, the one who doesn't like him the most. Do you talk with your most hated person most of the time? Some of us just simply ignore them.

[@shanryder]

Because more than anything else, Tobey wants attention and recognition.

[@nikosrnec3193]

​@@MiddleEasternBorder Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm changing my answer to: FOR THE PLOT! No, but really I think he finds that Becky is the only one who is somewhat worth his time since she's clearly smarter than the rest of the class. It seems that the kid simply prioritizes intelligence over being nice to him.

[@RinLockhart]

@@MiddleEasternBorder To him, yes. He sees Becky as his rival. Also he's 10. He's smart but not bright.

[@landonbrown3400]

Toby at last frame: 👁👄👁

[@axelvoss9653]

This show was more than we deserved

[@RubenGuzman69]

I didn’t know Toby like Lego Island.

I think Toby wants wordgirl to taste something else😏
An ice cream, on there date. Gets your mind out of the gutter

Has anyone else seen that SpongeBob episode where Mr. Krabs says I smell a smelly smell that smells smelly? That’s kind of what this reminds me of, although I taste a tasty taste that tastes tasty just sounds so weird..
