Stink is blamed for stealing
the Porter’s possessions from the tree-house.
Didja Notice?
Annie is seen drawing a portrait of Christa, her gift for the
jungle girl's birthday. Stink begins pawing at the canvas,
acting as if it is the real Christa trapped in the art until
Annie explains it to him. Doesn't it seem, from what we've seen
of him, that Stink is more sophisticated than that? He should
know what a drawing is. Perhaps he was merely clowning around
with Annie?
At 5:26 in the episode, Kevin refers to the tree-house as the
dwelling-hut. He must have picked up the term from both Christa
and the Sleestaks, who refer to the home as a dwelling-hut.
Around 6:03 in the
episode, Kevin dumps his load of colored stones on the
table and brags about how he is going to make Christa
the world's baddest necklace. But the arrangement of the
stones on the table keeps changing from one camera shot
to the next! |

At 8:54 in the episode, Stink is listening and dancing to music
on the Porters' boombox. Here are the lyrics of the song, as
best as I can make out:
You drive me wild
And you're making me crazy
You drive me wild
And you're making me crazy
The--
Kevin enters and shuts off the music at this point.
At 17:16 in the episode, Kevin is trying to fend off the
pterodactyl that has captured him. While doing so, he calls the
flying reptile Big Bird! Big Bird is a towering, yellow bird
character on the children's PBS television series Sesame
Street.
At 18:46 in the episode, Kevin apologizes to Stink, calling
himself "a total barney."
Dictionary.com defines "barney" as
I suppose Kevin could be referring to "d. a blunder or mistake".
I wonder if the term was also intended as a joke, referring to
the costumed
children's television character Barney, a purple
dinosaur.
We see Kevin and Stink carrying a few of the items stolen from
the tree-house while they escape from the pterodactyl's nest.
Presumably, the Porters returned to the nest later to get the
rest of their stuff.
When Kevin said he was going to make the world's baddest
necklace, he wasn't kidding...it's truly hideous! He should
have broken the stones into smaller pieces first! Christa seems
touched by the gift though, even giving the Kevster a kiss on
the mouth!
