Top 10 Angry Beaver Episodes

I know that I rarely write about this show, but damn it if it's not my favourite Cartoon series of all time.
And with that, I'm counting down my top 10 episodes.

No 10
Open Wide for Zombie
I like this episode because I just like the brother's interaction in this, the dark plot and the surreal setting. Norb and Dag's beds float into a shack that is occupied by zombies but Norb thinks Dag is just being racist. Dag than finds that the woman who owns the shack is a voodoo witch and she tries to kill Norb and Dag for their teeth. The two escape but this episode is very original and very different from the shows usually stuff.

No. 9
Kreature Komforts
I like this episode because it is simple yet funny. The beavers "Slow" cousin comes to stay with them for a while and Norb is amazed how his cousin is able to live the simple life. He convinces Dag that they should do this too so the brothers become wild beavers. Only thing is is that neither likes it so go back to rebuilding their dam. This episode is funny because it makes fun of real beavers and the whole episode centres around how strange a real beaver is to the two brothers.

No. 8
Daggy Dearest
This episode centres around Dag thinking he gave birth to a mongoose and acting like a mummy to it for most the episode till he gets bored with it and tells Norb to get rid of it which his brother tries too but bonds with the Mongoose baby and the two brother's look after it till the mum comes and takes it back. The episode is funny for its absurd humor, seeing the two beavers take on a parent role and just how entertaining it is for the whole 11 minutes.

No 7
Dagski And Norb
This whole episode is a parody of Starski and Hutch and is ridiculously funny. The plot is about who's been stealing boxes, they keep making fun of the word karp and just make fun of the show in the best possible way. I think this episode is just the funniest out of all of them and that is why it makes the list. 

No 6
Trees Company
In this episode Norbert just wants some alone time so he can finish building his model but Dag won't leave him alone. Eventually Dag does go and has a party up a tree. Norb wants to be invited but when he gets up there he finds there is no one but Dag. I like this episode because I like the ending and how the two brothers decide to just party by themselves. Not the best but certainly one of the most heart warming and enjoyable.


No. 5
Stare and Stare Alike

In this classic episode, Norbert and Dag have a staring contest for a whole 11 minutes. I think one of the reasons why I love this episode is because it's plot is so simple yet so compelling. All this show has to work with most of the time is Norb's and Dag's chemistry and just seeing these two talk back and forth and trying to make the other blink is just hilarious. When ever I want to watch a funny episode I just go to this one. Classic and well written with such a simple plot, if this episode doesn't entertain you. well I don't really care.

No 4
Long tall Daggy
In this episode, Norb is horrified to find that his baby brother is taller than him. This episode is good because we get to see Norbert have a nervous breakdown over something so small but so vital to him. Dag rubs it in his face for the whole episode and Norb is less than happy to measure the next day their height. But this is when the episode becomes a personally favourite because Dag goes on his knees to make Norb look taller. After Norb thinks he's the tallest again he becomes his old obnoxious self again but what Dag did was personally such a nice thing and it really shows how Dag cares about his brothers feelings.

No 3
Pond Scum
This episode I like because I just think it's really well executed. Dag is adorable like usual and I think Norbert turning temporarily evil is done quite well. Plus I think the villain is funny and the two brothers going against each other is quite entertaining. I just like this episode. There's nothing particularly memorable about it but I think it works quite well.

No. 2
Alley Oops
This episode I like because it has a very good moral and is entertaining throughout. Norb and Dag go to a bowling alley where they have to compete against another group of brothers to play there. The kicker is is that Norb doesn't want to play because he sucks at bowling and Dag keeps saying "It's okay to do something you suck at as long as you're having fun sucking."
The Beaver brothers end up winning the game and Norb realizes that he shouldn't be so selfish and only do what he likes.

No 1
Faking it
And number one is Fakin' it. I love this episode because it just shows how much Dag cares for his brother. Norb pretends to be sick so he doesn't have to redo the damn and so Dag takes care of him. Norb abuses his power but and runs Daggett ragged. Dag then gets sick and Norb takes care of him. Dag only worsens until he is about to die and Norbert admits that he was faking. To that Dag just replies, "I WAS FAKING TOO!"
Norb gets pissed at this and threatens to beat up his brother but Dag just tells him how worried he was when he thought that Norb was sick and that he shouldn't have faked first.
Then comes the fuzzies as Norb says, "You were really worried about me?"
And the two hug and make up before both actually getting sick in the spot.

And that is my top ten episodes. I think to see if you really like the show you should check out these episodes in particular and see what you think.

And until next time!

Watch what other's won't. Bye!
