I'll infiltrate Saturday detention, win their trust, and then get them to confess.

Kevin Grant-Gomez

"The Break-Stuff Club" is the second segment of the twenty-first episode of the first season of Hamster & Gretel, and the forty-first episode overall. It is paired with "Crimson Haste Makes Waste" and premiered on Disney Channel on July 1, 2023.[1][2]

When Hiromi's mural for the school gets vandalized, Kevin decides to infiltrate the Break-Stuff Club by purposefully getting Saturday detention in order to find out if they did it.

Plot[]

Students of Eastside High gather for the unveiling of a mural of the school's mascot created by Hiromi, entitled "Plumber Pride", only to find it vandalized. With help from Fred, Kevin determines that the culprit is the Break-Stuff Club, a trio of teenagers that seemingly vandalizes high school events and property. Kevin decides that he will get himself detention as part of a plan to catch the teens in the act, but each of his attempts to get into trouble instead get him rewarded. Just as all seems lost, Kevin inadvertently sparks a food fight in the school's cafeteria, leading Principal Funderberk to give him detention.

At lunchtime, The Break-Stuff Club leave detention to execute plans they have for Hiromi's mural while Fred reluctantly gives Hamster and Gretel a tour of the high school at the latter's request. However, Kevin learns that The Break-Stuff Club actually plans to restore Hiromi's mural and that the true vandal is the masked villain Unknownzy. Hamster, Gretel, Kevin, and the Break-Stuff Club trick Unknownzy into helping them restore the mural, after which police unmask him, revealing him to be Bob Stanley Cashwell, the investor of the mural. Funderberk then pardons the teenagers from detention, after which a very grateful Hiromi offers to have lunch with Kevin.

Memorable quotes[]

Kevin: Is there any villains with the initials "BSC"?
Gretel: Well, there's Big Scary Cyborg, but Hamster punched him into the sun last week.
Hamster: He had it coming.
Kevin: All right, in the meantime, you guys stay close. This could take all day, but we will get justice for Hiromi just like we promised.
Fred: I never promised that.
Fred: And this is the art room. The students who create these heartfelt works will eventually be pressured by their parents to get real jobs.
Gretel: Ooh, what's this?
Fred: That's a pottery wheel. With some wet clay and that foot pedal, you can make a misshapen bowl for a loved one instead of buying them a real gift.
(Hamster and Gretel distance themselves from Unknownzy)
Kevin: What are you doing? Get 'em!
Gretel: He keeps almost getting paint on us! (She and Hamster dodge more paintballs) It's very annoying.
Hamster: We haven't exactly figured out how to clean these, you know. I mean, they don't really exist unless they're on our bodies.
Kevin: Mr. Cashwell? You vandalized the mural?
Cashwell: Yes. B.S.C.―Bob Stanley Cashwell. As the investor in that mural, I would have collected millions in insurance.
Gretel: You insured a high school mural? We've heard a lot of bad guy plots, but that is by far the dumbest!
Cashwell: Makes sense; we're not a good bank.

Allusions[]

  • The Breakfast Club - The title of this episode, and the eponymous club, is a reference to this 1985 film.
  • Michael Jackson / "Billie Jean" - As he enters the cafeteria during the I Can Be Bad song, Kevin pulls out a black fedora and performs a backslide; similar to Michael Jackson's performance of this 1983 song during Motown 25, where he does the same while also wearing a similarly colored outfit. This performance popularized the backslide, which eventually was renamed the moonwalk by Jackson and became one of his signature dance moves.
  • Guy Fieri - The Beef Buggy proprietor has a plump and bombastic, fire-like appearance, which slightly resembles that of this Food Network celebrity.
  • Banksy - Unknownzy's name is similar to the name of Banksy. Banksy himself is a graffiti artist who also hides his identity in public.
  • Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! - The unmasking of Unknownzy after being apprehended by a police officer, and the subsequent reveal of his true identity being that of Bob Cashwell, is similar to the ending of a typical Scooby-Doo episode, in which the "monster of the week" is caught and unmasked, revealing it to be a character shown much earlier in the episode.
