{The toon opens with Tompkins playing his Game Boy with a silhouette of his mother waving to him. The Teen Girl Squad theme music plays.}

TOMPKINS: Aww, peas Momkins. I don't need a babysitter.

{Zoom out to reveal Momkins, a robot wearing cowboy boots and a hat and carrying a pickaxe, along with a baby.}

TOMPKINS: I can watch baby Timkins while you go out prospecting for future ex-husbands.

MOMKINS: Whatevs little man. You can't even take care of your own virtual pet.

{Cut to a closeup of the Game Boy screen, displaying a bloated pet and the text, "Food: 600%"}

VIRTUAL PET: Please stop feeding me!

{Tompkins begins mashing the buttons on the Game Boy.}

TOMPKINS: Teh heh heh heh heh.

{Cut to Momkins standing next to the front door, which has a large, wrinkly face on it}

FRONT DOOR: Ding dong. Ding dong, yo.

{The door opens to reveal So and So, with fangs.}

SO AND SO: Hello Mrs. Tomkinsrobotmomerson. I know I'm 3 hours early, but I wanted to...

MOMKINS: Listen, I'll be at a place until a time. My cell phone number is some numbers. The baby needs stuff. What's poison control? Punch Tomkins in the gut. Good luck.

{Momkins rushes out the door with a crazed look on her face and her tongue hanging out of her mouth. Her hat flies off and So and So's hair is disheveled as she leaves.}

TOMPKINS: {pointing at a flustered So and So} Listen babysit, I don't need to be babysat. I'll be in my room reorganizing my trenchcoats.

{As Tompkins leaves, a giant baby resembling the Arrow'd Guy lands on and crushes him.}

Fun Facts

Explanations

• The SAT Reasoning Test is a test that is frequently taken prior to entry into college in America.
• PCP, also known as angel dust, is a recreational drug.
• Eau de Toilette is French for "Toilet Water".
• Refering to a woman as a "gold digger" implies that she is going after men for their money.

Trivia

• This episode is the first to use a cold open instead of starting immediately with the opening credits.
• So and So is not included in the opening, as she has already been shown in the toon.

Remarks

• When the toon was first released, the button on the main page said only "teen girl squad" instead of the usual "New teen girl squad!"
• The '2 pantries' are actually one pantry with a reverse image next to it.

Goofs

• Tompkins's name is misspelled as "Tomkins" through the entire toon, except in the Snack Mix sequence ("Tompkins' Parlor").

Inside References

• What's Her Face comments about the loss of her style.
• When Tompkins pushes the buttons on his Game Boy to feed his virtual pet, the text "m.a.s.h." appears.
• So and So saying "I can't do another nickel!" is in reference to Teen Girl Squad Issue 11 when So and So was in jail for shoplifting.

Real-World References

• Peacey P's voice and singing style is very similar to that of Snoop Dogg.
• So and So's line "You'll microwave the baby!!" and the book of urban legends she is holding reference the urban legend of a stoned babysitter mistaking a baby for a roast.
• The lines about the Snack Mix prior to What's Her Face's demise are based on the board game Clue.
• The title of the short is a reference to comedian Robin Harris' "Bébé's Kids" stand-up comedy act. After his death, his routine was adapted into a movie, also called "Bébé's Kids", the first animated feature with a majority African-American cast.
• "Ding dong. Ding dong, yo." may be a reference to the video for "Fat" by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
• The Olympic Guy dangling The Ugly One from a hotel balcony is a reference to a widely-publicized event in 2002, when Michael Jackson dangled his son from a hotel balcony;
• Dangling The Ugly One over the balcony is also a reference to Vanilla Ice's claim that rap record producer Marion "Suge" Knight hung him up upside down on a hotel balcony in order to get Vanilla Ice to turn over his royalties. This relates to the rapper Peacey P shown earlier in the episode.
• The way the other three Teen Girl Squad members burst through the wall is similar to the Kool-Aid Man's entrances.
