Parasite Fright (Fish Hooks)

Parasite Fright is the 27th episode of mh:terribletvshows:Fish Hooks that aired on April 29, 2011.

Plot
Milo fears that everyone in school is infected with parasites. He is so paranoid because he watched a horror movie. Things get worse when Albert Glass disguises himself like a parasite.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The characters are more likable than usual, especially Milo.
 * 2) The plot of this episode is very creative, interesting, and well-written, compared to most episodes of the series.
 * 3) Parasite Fright.gif and Stickler’s behaviors are understandable, and it can be relatable for those who have seen scary movies and felt terrified afterwards.
 * 4) The animation is better than usual, as expected from Mercury Filmworks.
 * 5) The voice acting is still good, especially guest star Jim Cummings, who is best known for voicing famous Disney characters like Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Pete, and Darkwing Duck.
 * 6) It gives us a great message on the dangers of paranoia, and not to let our imagination run wild, even after watching something scary like a horror film.
 * 7) Stickler’s hideout is pretty cool looking.
 * 8) Some funny moments, like Milo’s scared face while watching the movie, and Albert looking like an alien parasite.
 * 9) The ending was good, as while the water drain did relieve Milo and Stickler of their paranoia, they did refill the water tank right afterwards. Then, back home, Bea and Oscar decided to not allow Milo to watch scary movies anymore, which is fair. They got him a pony movie to watch, which even he agrees that ponies aren’t scary at all. But then, little pony parasites possess Bea and Oscar, scaring Milo again.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) The stock images are still used for the non-fish characters.

Reception

 * It holds decent ratings from critics, like a 6.4/10 on IMDB. It was positively received from audiences and Disney Channel fans, with some like Phantomstrider calling it the best episode of the series (besides The Big Woo). Phantomstrider puts it at #4 in Best Episodes of Bad Cartoons.
