Sketch Pad[]

A squad of soldiers are ready to go on a night watch, and is warned not to fall asleep or they'll be in trouble. However, one falls asleep anyway. The sergeant paints a white X on his sleeve, so the captain will know which soldier to punish. When the sleeper wakes up, he comes up with a plan after seeing the X, a plan so the captain won't punish him.

The incorrect answers are:

  • The soldier had enough time to put on a new uniform that doesn't have a white X on it.
  • The captain had poor eyesight and he lost his glasses.
  • The soldier scrubbed the white X off his uniform.

The soldier painted a white X on everybody's sleeve, so the captain wouldn't know which soldier to punish.

Trivia[]

  • This episode marks the last of a few things:
    • The last Sketch Pad segment where three incorrect answers are given out.
    • The final episode to feature Mugshots, Psycho Math, Radio Scramble, Eddie Bull, and Ten 2nds.
      • Since Riddlesnake, Radio Scramble, and Ten 2nds don't appear in the next episode, this also makes this the final episode to feature non-rewind games.
    • The last episode where games are loaded in every motherboard (the Arcade motherboard, while it appears at the start of Crashbox Rewind, never has a game loaded into it in the next and final episode of the series.)
  • As of 2024, India now has the most population of all of the countries in the world. The country's population surpassed China's in 2022.
  • This is one of two Sketch Pad segments in Season 2B where the drawings of the human characters have five fingers rather than four.
  • The commercial spot for "Sultan's Dwownis" refers to Sultan Pepper, a writer for the series.

Goofs[]

  • During the transition to Radio Scramble, the sound of the pigtail robot's marshalling wands are heard, however, the animation is not present.
  • George Washington was thought to throw a silver dollar across the Potomac River, not the Delaware.
