First one horrible, second one great - how is that?

The Moral Decay episode was the one what made me hate the show. In a series, there always has to be one, two or even three that you don't particularly like, even though you really love the series. It shows Buttercup in a particularly unfavorable light, getting even more corrupted than the villains, thus making her family turn against her and feel happy about her demise when she is beaten up. I can't believe the writers would treat their lead character with such horrible aspects that they would make the character worse than the current villains. I don't know if maybe the message of the episode to the kids was "don't get greedy", but to a more adult audience, it means one of the main characters has corrupted and consumed herself in such an addictive greed for money that she will go through any lengths to get as much money as she can, and she pays for it in the end, as they always do.

The second episode, The Meet the Beat Alls, however, pays an obvious tribute to one of the world's most successful bands, The Beatles, and their songs. The famous ones such as "Hey Jude" "Yesterday" and "Michelle" are mentioned, as well as Lennon's wife Yoko (the fake name of a monkey Moko Jono) and many others.
