Review: Uncle Grandpa ‘Uncle Grandpa Ate My Homework’

I would have preferred corn dogs land…

Spoilers Below

Uncle Grandpa shows up to his nephew Dennis’ house and eats the poor kid’s homework. Because of this, Dennis is probably going to fail and then have to go to summer school. To help, UG decides to take Dennis to Egypt so that they can get a pyramid for his project. Gus and the trio head there too so this way they can help carry the pyramid back home, but it falls apart by the time they get there. Dennis heads to class and casts a spell that causes a mummy to wake up out of the broken pyramid and chase Uncle Grandpa into his classroom. To get rid of the mummy, UG and Dennis consume the mummy and Dennis gets the high score.

Tiny Miracle the Robot Boy

Grandpa needs to open up a jar, so Tiny Miracle shows up to help out. He leaves a bunch of broken glass, so Tiny shows up again.

Tiny Miracle was maybe my least favorite of the shorts, but I guess UG eating homework was funny but the show is becoming formulaic in that the episodes that start off with UG screwing up all end up with him fixing it so you really can’t enjoy the trip because you know everything’s gonna be OK. Not a good recipe for continued success although it usually works for Phineas.
