19	1	"Super Zero / Sickly Sweet"	Phil Cummings & Juli Hashiguchi Robert Alvarez & Phil Cummings	Brett Varon Maxwell Atoms	Brett Varon Celia Weiss	October 1, 2004
Super Zero: After watching a TV show, starring Captain Space Heifer and his Heifer Farms Brand Yogurt, Billy asks Grim to turn him into a superhero with the power of squeaking and throwing yogurt from his armpits. With his wish granted, Billy goes to outer space to fight the Evil Empire, but the planet he visits is inhabited except for an adorable little alien creature whom Billy fails to notice almost the entire episode and is smothered in Billy's limitless supply of armpit yogurt. Despite being free of Billy, Grim still has to deal with Billy's equally dumb father, Harold. After Billy fills the alien planet with yogurt, he returns home to be "normal". Note: There is also a The Fairly OddParents episode that also called "Super Zero". Sickly Sweet: Trying to get revenge at Mandy for bossing them all the time, Billy and Grim put her in the "Mask of the Beast". Mandy must be nice and friendly while wearing the mask or else she will become a hideous monster. Failing to remove the mask herself, and struggling to be "kind" to Billy and Grim, Mandy gradually turns into the beast. Billy and Grim ask Mandy to smile while she gives them a sponge bath, but this turns out to be too hard for Mandy. She fully transforms into the beast and punishes them instead.
20	2	"Bearded Billy / The Nerve"	Brian Sheesley Shaun Cashman	Gord Zajac & Brian Larsen Gord Zajac & Jim Schumann	Brian Larsen Jim Schumann	October 8, 2004
Bearded Billy: When Billy sees his father, Harold shaving, he decides having a beard is cool and buys "Hair Raiser Tonique", a hair-growing formula. Grim casts a spell on the tonic to make its effects appear faster, but Billy exaggerates the quantity and grows hair in all over his entire body. Billy is mistaken for the Sasquatch and a reward is offered for his capture. Hoss Delgado also receives the tonic and is captured and exhibited as the Sasquatch, while Mandy collects the reward. The Nerve: After being bullied again by Sperg, Billy asks Grim to shrink him to enter Mandy's head to steal her "nerve". After Billy swallows the raw nerve, a polyp-like organism, Mandy becomes timid and scared of everything while Billy becomes tough and mean. While Billy goes to get revenge at Sperg, Mandy enters Billy's head to recover her nerve. Mandy recovers her tough and cynical attitude without her nerve, which is successfully retrieved from Billy and banished from Endsville. In the end, Sperg is walking away and giving Billy a wedgie all at the same time.
21	3	"33a Test of Time / A Kick in the Asgard / Five-O-Clock Shadows"	Shaun Cashman, Brian Sheesley, & Robert Alvarez Robert Alvarez, Juli Hashiguchi, & Brian Sheesley Juli Hashiguchi	Gord Zajac & Paul McEvoy Maxwell Atoms Brett Varon	Paul McEvoy Vincent Waller Brett Varon	October 15, 2004
Test of Time: When Billy forgets to do his history homework, Grim gives him a universal remote control to alter time and space so he can go back in time and finish his report. Billy and Mandy travel to the American Revolution, to prehistoric times, and even to the future, where they meet an aged Billy who is just finishing the report. After a struggle for the remote, Billy ends up again in the prehistory and the remote breaks. Fast forward into the present, every person is dumb and slowwitted just like he is and shares his characteristic "dot eyes", big nose and laugh, including Mandy and Irwin. A Kick in the Asgard: During a thunderstorm, a lightning bolt hits Grim's scythe, transporting Billy to Asgard, land of the Norse gods. Mandy and Grim go searching for him, while a Viking wearing Billy's shirt remains at his house as a substitute. In Asgard, Billy learns about the endless battle in Valhalla, in which if a warrior dies, he is resurrected to continue fighting. Billy is surprisingly good at killing other Vikings, so Mandy and Grim are unable to convince him to return home. Five-O-Clock Shadows: Grim is annoyed by Billy who thinks that a shadow is following him. Grim takes Billy and Mandy to the Shadows' World, where their opposites live. Grim tells them to do whatever they want, but to be back at 5 o'clock, when the portal to the normal world opens. Grim also warns Billy about the Door to Other Dimensions, but Billy opens it and a multitude of Billies come out an wreak havoc.
22	4	"Attack of the Clowns / Complete and Utter Chaos (Billy Gets Dumber)"	Shaun Cashman & Phil Cummings Randy Myers	Gord Zajac & C.H. Greenblatt Spencer Laudiero	C.H. Greenblatt Spencer Laudiero	October 29, 2004
Attack of the Clowns: After Billy wakes up from another nightmare involving clowns, he is more terrified than ever towards them, so Mandy and Grim try to cure him of this clown-a-phobia. Mandy asks Grim to bring to life a clown's head made on paper mache to entertain Billy, but the spell does not seem to work. They dress up as clowns in an attempt to look harmless. After consulting with his imaginary "Inner Frat Boy", Billy changes his feeling from being afraid to being angry at clowns, and attacks them with Grim's scythe. Billy is cured of his fear, but the paper mache clown attacks and eats them and they all hate clowns in the end. Complete and Utter Chaos (Billy Gets Dumber): Thinking that the world is chaotic enough as it is, Eris, the goddess of chaos, decides to quit chaos to work at a hamburger restaurant. She entrusts Grim the Apple of Discord to watch over for her, which he seals in his old trunk. The apple frees itself from the chest and goes to Billy. Mandy is attracted by the apple's powers, and after being persuaded by Billy's talking burrito, Billy, Mandy and Grim battle for control of the apple, which divides in three pieces. The battle results in them being fused together into an amorphous mass and, with an evil grin on her face, Eris decides to offer the apple to Irwin too. This episode is unusual in some aspects: it starts being called Billy gets Dumber, but the Apple of Discord swallows the screen and the real title Complete and Utter Chaos is shown instead; the episode starts at the end, and the story is told as a flashback; the talking burrito is featured prominently, but other than a brief mention, its origin is not explained.

A jealous Billy uses Grim's scythe to open a portal and send Bobby to another dimension. Just the Two of Pus: When a doctor is unable to cure Sperg of his severe case of acne, Sperg goes to see a fortune teller that deals with skin problems. Following a Burmese recipe in her own book, the psychic tells Sperg to get the Grim Reaper's bones and rub them upon his face. Sperg has to tolerate being friends with Billy and Grim to get access to the latter's bones. One of Grim's arms gets into a stew and when Sperg is immersed in it, the mix cures completely his acne, but it also erases his nose and mouth.

Billy, Mandy, and Grim go searching for the Chocolate Sailor to retrieve the antidote before Billy eats himself completely.

The nerds reveal that their "secret agenda" is to resurrect Shnissugah, a giant snake which lived hundreds of years ago in Canada, to take revenge against the popular kids, but they lack the power of the Underworld to do so. Mandy calls for Grim, who proceeds to revive Shnissugah through the internet, even though the geeks tie her up using their pet garden snake, Wiggly Jr. Billy, as a junior agent of the CIA, stops a criminal plan by Irwin, who was using the Macrame club for personal gain; and Shnissugah turns out to be a tiny, 8-cm (3.14-in) long, harmless snake who forces the nerds to untie Mandy and goes back into the internet. Mandy ends up beating up the three geeks severely. Guest star: Billy West as Viper

The House of No Tomorrow: While at Sassy Cat Land, the theme park dedicated to Sassy Cat (and to ridiculously long lines), Billy, Mandy and Grim stumble upon a closed attraction, a futuristic "house of tomorrow". Inside, they find Master-Control, a sentient and autonomous, thinking, feeling artificial intelligence computer program claiming to know everything (and wishing death upon the trio when Billy angers him), and Tom Smith, a tour guide that became trapped in the house when it closed forty years ago. Tom explains that the attraction closed when a kid, actually Billy's dad, annoyed Master-Control with his dumb questions and the robots started attacking the humans.

After Grim's robe comes out of the washing machine, Billy and Mandy find Thromnambular, a talking skull with ruby eyes and a number nine imprinted on his forehead. Grim tells them that the skull is a magical artifact imprisoned on Earth that must grant his nine wishes to be free. When Mandy asks Grim why he has not used any of the wishes, Grim tells her that the skull will corrupt the wishes and end up affecting the wisher. Despite this, Billy runs away with the skull and makes the first wish: (1) he wishes to be in an adventure (which parodies Indiana Jones and Jonny Quest), this backfires because Irwin is eaten, which Billy complains about getting him in trouble. After this, Thromnambular is found by different people who each make a wish: (2) Billy's dad wishes he could relive his high school years, but this backfires because he is not popular; (3) General Skarr wishes to rule on high, but this backfires because he asphyxiates in space; (4) Irwin (despite being eaten already in an earlier episode) wishes he was in a hip-hop music video, but backfires because he gets punched by Mandy; (5) Pud'n wishes he had a bunny, but backfires because he is almost killed by it, because "Sometimes Love Hurts"; (6) Nergal Junior wastes his wish by wishing for a wish that wouldn't backfire; (7) Sperg wishes for a way to get into the girls restroom to bully a girl into giving him a large sack of money, this backfires because he is turned into girl and insulted by the other girls for being ugly; (8) Mindy wishes to be a "big star", but this backfires when she is sent into space strapped to a rocket; (9) finally, Mandy tries to auction the last wish, but Grim gets ahead and wishes the kids never found the skull in the first place. This goes back to the beginning of the episode where Billy is staring at the washing machine, followed by Mandy pushing him into it. Credit aftermath: Grim is shown talking to Thromnambular wishing that he was free from Billy and Mandy and granting wishes, but this backfires because Thromnambular switches places with him to grant this wish.
