Spoilers Below

Bea has to move because her dad got a new job. Naturally, this causes Milo to open a new company with his bro. This company is a box factory but when Mr. Goldfishberg shows up for the interview he starts to recognize all of the disguised kids.
Fortunately, he is none the wiser and he begins to like his new sales job so much that he invites Milo over for dinner. Its here that Goldfishberg tells the fam that he just secured an order for a 1000 boxes which of course freaks out Bea. That said, the kids aren’t giving up and they plan to fill the order but despite staying up all night the crew isn’t able to put together any boxes. Goldfishberg finds out about the fake company, but if Bea doesn’t want to move everyone’s gotta start making boxes. They complete the order and the box turtles are so happy they order another 1000 boxes. As a result Goldfishberg opens a new LEGIT box factory.

I think if you are a younger audience you learn a valuable lesson about working and if you are an older viewer you know all about this. In a country with a still fragile economy sometimes kids don’t understand the value of the dollar and still ask for a bunch of crap despite the fact that the parents have to find a way to make money to get it. For that alone…a great episode. Throw in a nod to the Carol Burnett Show and the fact that Goldfishberg is one of the most underutilized characters in Fish Hooks and you’ve got a winner.  This is an episode you watch with mom and dad for sure.

8.5 out of 10

Al tries calling in a pizza for Esmargot and all their friends but the pizza dude thinks he is a girl. Next morning Al grows a mustache and shows up to school with a deeper voice. Al uses his new voice to get Oscar, Jumbo, and Milo out of class and in a convertible letting the dudes have a good time all day. The next morning Al’s voice sounds like it used to so he dons a voice changer for his date with Esmargot. Unfortunately, the voice changer goes nuts and eventually breaks but its cool cuz Esmargot likes him anyway.

Your pretty typical ‘she likes you for you story’ but Patrick Warburton is awesome as Al’s older voice and I hope we can see him come back with Jaime Pressly also putting in a solid as Lafeesha. Al overall was quite a riot this episode and I couldn’t help but fist pound the floor laughing because of his phone calls. Seriously, all of them are funny and with Jockto on the other line it was just that much funnier. That said, the ending you could have seen from a mile away.
