New Nineteen discovers she is a one-off with a hidden talent... a shape-shifter.
Story
It all starts with Nine tracing Ten, with Nine just finishing up. Eighteen soon flies by; while leaving, he spins out Ten and Nine, as they add up to Nineteen.
Nineteen attempts to introduce herself, but struggles to figure out who she is exactly. Just then, after picking up the pencil Nine was using earlier, Eighteen flies by and shows off his rectangles. Nineteen believes she can make many rectangles. However, whenever she tries, all her attempted rectangles either have one extra block, or are missing a corner block. Saddened by the fact she can't make any rectangles, she suddenly starts rearranging into different shapes.
Eighteen flies by again and spins out Nineteen. Saddened over her inability to make any rectangles, she instead decides to make crazy shapes.
At the end of the song, she requests for everyone to make their very own crazy shapes, and they all do so in tandem with Nineteen.
Summary
When attempting to make rectangles, the number Nineteen is usually one block off; either one block too many or having one block less. It also teaches that more arrangements can be made than one can think with blocks, so don't be afraid to test them out!
I wish I could be like 18, make everyday's shapes with neat straight lines
But there's always something not quite right.
So I make crazy shapes, that's when 19 shines.
I can be a cactus in the desert, an umbrella when it rains, I can stretch right out to make a tall giraffe.
And if you need some building blocks, I can make a crane.
Then make lots of funny faces to make you laugh!
Cause I make crazy shapes, crazy shapes are what I do,
Thingamabobs and whatsits, and whatchamacallits too.
I can make most anything, so put me to the test!
Crazy shapes, crazy shapes, are the things that I do best.
I can make a table you can eat at, or a funny kind of fish. When you're digging, I can make a garden spade. When you're lost I'll give directions, with an arrow if you wish. When it comes to making wacky shapes, I've got it made!
Cause I make crazy shapes, crazy shapes are what I do,
Thingamabobs and whatsits
- and whatchamacallits too.
I can make most anything, so put me to the test!
Crazy shapes, crazy shapes,
Are the things that I do best.
I'm a one-off! I'm unique!
As I'm sure that you'll agree.
I'm a one-off! I'm at my peak!
No one's better at being me than me.
Come on everyone, throw some shapes with me!
Cause I make crazy shapes, crazy shapes are what I do,
Thingamabobs and whatsits, and whatchamacallits too.
I can make most anything, so put me to the test!
Crazy shapes, crazy shapes, are the things that I do best.
Crazy shapes, crazy shapes, are the things that I do best!
Trivia
Song: Crazy Shapes
Though all Numberblocks can shapeshift, it's made apparent that Nineteen has a special talent in doing so. Everyone's shapeshifting abilities are acknowledged at the end of the episode when Nineteen shapeshifts with them.
This episode shows the return of the blocks used to make the tower in Building Blocks as a brief cameo.
When Nineteen splits into Ten and Nine, both characters end up not taking their normal shapes (Nine is not a square nor is Ten vertical or 2x5)
This episode completes the 10s (10-19).
Zero is the only Numberblock not on the episode, because she does not have any actual blocks.
