Life with Loopy - Mister Macho

KaBlam! S04E02 Takes a Knockin' and Keeps Tick-Tockin'

Premiered November 6, 1999

Quickly

Larry gets buff.

Thoughts

The ads on the opposite page in the comic Loopy was reading were actual ads.

  • Giant Life Size Moon Monster - It was a poster.
  • Hypno-Coin
  • Polaris Nuclear Sub
I was unable to discern the rest.

It's possible they took an actual page but doubtful. The versions of the ads I found were full page ads. Given the colorful background on the ads I'm guessing they used larger ads printed them, copied them onto colorful printer paper and created a collage.

Too Much Detail Recap

Larry and Loopy are hanging out at the beach. Their day is interrupted by a bully kicking sand on Larry. Larry is fine to let it go but Loopy chimes in. The bully arranges to fight Larry in a week. Loopy suggests Larry get Sven Strongaard's Body Basics Kit and bulk up for the fight. Larry does bulk up. He also develops some macho, aggressive and selfish behaviors. His personality change starts to alienate him from his family. Loopy calls Sven for help. Sven visits the Cooper residence. They are shocked to learn Sven gave up body building. Larry is soon back to normal thanks to the Zen of Sven. He wins the fight when the bully punches Sven's book under his shirt.
