The episode pokes fun at "collectors" and the merchandising phenomenon of the PPGs. A fat-assed-balding-fanny-pack-wearing loser named Lenny Baxter has collected every piece of PPGs paraphernalia there is. When he discovers there is nothing left to collect, he decides the only thing left to do is "collect" the girls themselves. (Actually, I think he missed the PowerPuff Girls Waffle Iron.)
The idea for this episode was probably inspired from the ST:TNG episode "The Most Toys." The problem with this incarnation of the story is that there is no real explanation of how the villain was able to trap the girls. Where the heck did he obtain a substance strong enough to imprison them and why doesn't Mojo have it too? Also, how the heck he was able to catch, subdue, and encase the girls without the use of any weapons or super powers of his own?
The Professor saves the girls by psychologically torturing the villain. For the second time this season, we see a protagonist solve a situation through cruelty.
It's a little known fact, but I was originally in this episode! Too bad the editors took my cameo out of the final cut. Here were my lines: "Gennedy McCracken? Oh, there you are. Hey, that Lenny guy sure is a loser. I mean really. Dedicating so much of his time to the PPGs. Ha! Get a life! Well, nice talking to you. What? No, sorry I can't. I have to go home and update my RowdyRuff Boys website. Maybe next time."
