Review: Kirby Buckets “Ripper Impossible”

Spoilers Below

Dave the Ripper is having a time ripping on other kids at school and Kirby wants to put a stop to it. While Eli tries to learn from Fish the art of ‘Fish-Foo’, Kirby rounds up a group of kids to grab Mitchell’s files that should have good dirt on Dave. The kids get the brief case and the file and are able to copy everything over and switch the case back to Mitchell.

Unfortunately, just as Kirby is going to reap the data on Dave, we find out that Kirby’s group has a mole that hands the data over to the dumb shit kid.

Dawn’s got her own problems with being a bully, and Belinda’s trying to bring this to her attention. After talking to Mitchell, we come to find out he may have the same thing. Dawn offers to help Kirby with his upcoming rip battle with Dave. If Kirby wins, Dave’s gotta erase the Mitchell files, if Dave wins, Kirby has to legally change his name to anything Dave wants.

Eli shows up in the middle of the battle, breaks out some ballet moves, and causes Dave to cry like a baby.

Our Take

See, this is the kinda Kirby I REALLY like. When the producers throw out the rule books predicated by other stupid live-action kid shows and just go for broke. The rip battle was an awesome production that served its purpose until Eli showed up and ruined it with his acting. Dave the Ripper was a bit corny, but got some laughs out of me by the end of it. The Briefcase Kid was my favorite new addition to the show, and I think we should start replacing Kirby’s friends with maybe him and the statue kid. Good stuff.
