Almost five whole seasons ago, the RRB episode first aired, and thus, the impetus for this website was born. Fans throughout the years have been asking for the boys return. We finally got our wish...

Him laments about the PPGs total domination over all the villains in Townsville. Clips from past episodes fly across his domain showing the PPGs beating up random monsters and bad guys. He finally discovers the one time the girls were beaten: by the hands of the RowdyRuff Boys! The boys return with inexplicably long hair. Don't know why. Doesn't really look too good on them, either...although Butch does kinda look like Vegita. Anyway, the boys' personalities are developed a bit more. Boomer is the dumb one, like Bubbles. Brick is the leader, like Blossom. And Butch is...crazy? He acts kinda like Tweek from South Park...for some reason. I don't know how that relates to Buttercup. I think it would have made more sense to make him the dumb one. He could have been the dumb jock of the group. Anyway, Him puts a spell on the boys so that they grow bigger whenever they get kissed by the girls. Ah, there's the Freudian symbolism PuffUncle was talking about. The boys terrorize the PPGs using classic "tortures" boys have been inflicting on girls and each other throughout the ages. They first get revenge by grossing them out. This scene seemed kind of pointless if you don't take into context the way the RRBs were defeated the first time. Girls can make boys uncomfortable by being "nice" to them. Similarly, boys can unnerve girls by doing gross stuff in front of them. I won't go any further into the story other than to say the plot did make sense, the ending was good (although it was tough for me to look at Boomer wearing makeup), and the violence was abundant! Whoa! I think they took every ounce of violence from every other episode in season five and saved it for this one. The PPGs get their butts kicked thoroughly!

There were some great lines from this one:
Brick: Yeah, well, you can't stop a good thing babe.
Bubbles: Ooooh Ooooh! I want the blonde! I think he's cute!
Blossom: Well, let's really lay it on them.
Brick: Your cutie kisses only make us bigger! Boomer: Stronger! Butch: And tougher! (HEY!!! That's awfully close to "Stronger, Faster, Tougher!" Cool!)
Him: Having a little boy trouble? Or should I say big boy trouble!
Him: I added a little something extra. A cootie vaccination.
Brick: Roller brawl!
Boomer: And he's goin' for the slap-shot! Score!
Boomer: We'll show you stupid!
Brick: It's time for the awesomest game! ULTIMATE FIGHT!But let's not forget the greatest thing about this episode... The boys can come back again! The final words spoken by Him and the narrator give every indication that we could very well see another RRB episode in the future!

Congratulations to all RRBs fans out there and to the writers. They finally listened, and I, for one, am happy they did.

Four stars

Yeah...the only GOOD thing that happened in season five was the unpresidented return of the RRBs!

I was also glad about their (glorious?) return, except, of course, of their hair. They're awful (was it really necessary?).

Who knows, maybe, when they finally start making new seasons, many things are bound to happen to the Boys that may change their lives forever (including their hair back to normal). Hey, what am I saying?

that episode was pretty cool, i even taped it! ^^

Call me crazy but I have to say this was the best and worst episode for the series. Heres what I believe:

The PPGs had some good episodes and some great episodes. They had some horrible episodes, too. In all honesty, I lost interest just after the movie but when I heard that they'd bring back the RRBs I was very happy. Ever since their debut there wasn't one episode I saw where I didn't think of the RRBs. When they ceased to be, they became untouchable. It's like they died but lived forever as legends. Everyone wanted them back so much which is why everyone had so much hope and anticipation for them. They would watch each episode hoping the RRBs would return. The RRBs were the primary interest while the actual episode was only secondary. When they did come back it was awesome but the anticipation was gone.

Think back in your days as children. There was that one badass toy that you always wanted. It was the toy that you thought about everyday and dreamt about every night. You craved it with all your passion and you'd do ANYTHING to get it. Then you actually did get it. All the passion was gone. You didn't think about it as much. It lost it's majestic feel and became just another possession. Thats what I believe happened to the RRBs. Since all the other characters (as interesting as they were) were just regulars on the series, people stopped anticipating. They realized the show just achieved the most that it could and all episodes afterwards were dwarfed by the return of the RRBs.

In conclusion, the return of the RRBs was the greatest move the creators did since it made true the wishes of virtually ALL their fans but at the same time the worst move since nothing else they could do would ever live up their greatest move. This is my belief.

I just may have to agree with you there Gopher...Here's a gift for ya(gift is actually a ticking time bomb)

[Neo_brick]

again! the PPG won in this episode thanks to their goodluck, because the boys, in this episode are most powerful. and also, in this episode, the RRB fight "again" vs the PPG and also the PPG lose this fight, but also in the end of this episode, the girls win.

but not thanks tho theirs powers.

can you understand my commentary?

[Tent]

Almost better than the original. I just love it how the boys were finally given personalities. Butch is practically a dog.

[DarkGunn]

Well yeah, but I didn't like how they made Boomer dumb and Butch a retard. Seriously did Butch need to prance about saying "Roller Brawl! Roller Brawl!" etc.

[Suhey]

I like Boomer being dumb, and Butch being a retard. I think it's better that way.

Call me crazy if you want.
