Terrible Twosday is the nineteenth episode of the fourth series of Numberblocks. It is the 79th episode overall.

Synopsis[]

Numberland is being invaded by the Terrible Twos, who are playing "How Many Twos", getting ready to mess around with the Numberblocks.

Characters[]

Plot[]

In Numberland, Five and Six are playing hopscotch. All of the sudden, spaceships that the Terrible Twos are piloting arrive, and their ships' factor beams are set to divide into Twos. Six is caught in one of the Terrible Two's factor beams, scaring Five as she hides in a bush to evade capture. She witnesses Six being divided into three Twos. The three Twos attempt to add back up, but it mysteriously doesn't work. Five soon decides to head off for help.

Meanwhile, Fourteen is skateboarding, when the Terrible Twos suddenly come in. Eight attempts to protect him; unfortunately, his attempt to protect him is fruitless, as they instead both get divided into Twos (with Eight into four Twos, and Fourteen into seven Twos).

One of the Terrible Twos soon proceed to go after Seventeen next, who proceeds to make a painting of their ships, and is greater than Fourteen. While Seventeen is distracted, the blue Terrible Two proceeds to try and split him into eight Twos. Unfortunately, there's a remainder of One, which causes his ship to malfunction and crash. The blue Terrible Two tries to locate the Reset Switch. While distracted, Five takes the opportunity to hijack it, setting its factor to five.

Five has a hard time trying to use it, accidentally dividing Ten into two Fives and picking up Seventeen on accident. The ship tries to divide Seventeen into Fives; however, the result is three, with a remainder of two. Five soon learns that the factorisation beam wasn't meant to take any kind of remainder in mind; if there are any blocks that can't be divided by the pilot's number, the division will fail. Upon landing, she ponders on how to stop them-as it turns out, the only Numberblock that can divide Two is One, due to leaving no remainders behind. Five proceeds to split into Four and One. One pilots the ship, and proceeds off to stop them.

This works, and they are divided into Ones. Unfortunately enough, the effects from the factor beam wears off on them, as they soon add back into the Terrible Twos retreat from Numberland in their ships.

Math Magic[]

Trivia[]

  • Eighteen is the biggest number in this episode. Concerning primes, Seventeen is the biggest.
  • Upon the blue Terrible Two being divided into Ones, they proceed to say "Bah!", then "Double bah!" when they land. This is likely a reference to the normal Two's "Ah! Another me! Double ah! Another another me!" line from the Terrible Twos' eponymous debut episode, when the normal Two saw the Terrible Twos.
  • This is the third episode which takes "only one can 'X'" literally, seeing as One stopped the Terrible Twos single handed. This is also the only time where where it's not even mentioned by a character.
  • Despite being an episode about remainders, it comes before Divide and Drive. This is likely because the division sign wasn't used in this episode.
  • Eight is the only Numberblock to be shown back in to his normal self after the Terrible Twos got divided. Meanwhile, Eighteen is the only divisible Numberblock who manages to successfully escape them (Ten escaped them as well, but couldn't get past Five, although Five's dividing was an accident).
  • When purple Terrible Two says "How many twos is too many twos, amigo?" the word "amigo" is Spanish language, meaning "friend". The Terrible Twos call each other amigo, which is one of the few references to non-British countries. Spanish was invented by Spain.
  • The Terrible Twos do not appear to be related to Four in this episode.
  • Even though Five is able to drive the Numberblocks Express as seen in the episode with the same name, this episode shows she cannot drive.

Community References[]

  • Eight saying "I've dealt with the Terrible Twos before" flashes back to the Series 3 episode: Octoblock to the Rescue!
    • However, he wasn't able to deal with the Terrible Twos on his own.

Errors[]

  • There's an error where "Octoblock, shield!" is loaded in by the subtitles as "Auto block, shield!". The same error occurs in Twoland when he says “Octoblock, umbrella!” as it comes out as “Auto block, umbrella!”.
  • Right after the blue Terrible Two is split into Ones, the next scene shows him in the purple spaceship. In the scene afterwards, the mask color reverts to purple.
