Episodes

Whoopass Stew

Craig McCracken made a short titled "Whoopass Stew! The Whoopass Girls in: A Sticky Situation" as a student at the California Institute of the Arts. Four shorts were intended, though only the first one was finished. The other three were presented on the Complete Series DVD set accompanied by the original storyboards and their original audio. McCracken submitted "A Sticky Situation" to Cartoon Network, and some time later the name "Whoopass Stew!" was changed to "The Powerpuff Girls".

The Whoopass Girls fight the Amoeba Boys, get stuck to them, and have to fly them into the sun to beat them. This short was only shown in animation conventions and was never aired publicly on television due to the suggestive word, "Whoopass", and other inappropriate themes.

"Meet the Beat Alls" John McIntyre
Craig McCracken

After the girls do chores around the house, the Professor awards them with a Sacagawea dollar each. Buttercup is so ecstatic that she accidentally knocks out one of Bubbles' teeth. However, her sadness turns to greed when Bubbles receives a dollar from the tooth fairy. Buttercup then proceeds to knock out the teeth of numerous villains, and starts hoarding the money she receives. As it comes to a head, Mojo Jojo, Fuzzy Lumpkins, Him, the Ganggreen Gang, and countless thugs decide to teach her a lesson by breaking her teeth and using her money savings with the Professor to pay for her dentist bills.


This episode is laden with The Beatles references.

Mojo Jojo, Him, Princess Morbucks, and Fuzzy Lumpkins go to the girls' house to destroy them. By coincidence, they all arrive at the same time, and after an argument, manage to defeat the girls by combining their abilities. Seeing the strength in working together, they decide to form the quartet villain group "The Beat-Alls." They engage in a crime spree across Townsville, and the girls are overcome every time. The Professor encourages the girls to find a way to break up the group. Soon, Mojo meets performance criminal Moko Jono and begins adopting her style. The other members of the group become frustrated with her bizarre schemes and quit, allowing the girls to return and beat them. Mojo plans to continue committing crimes with Moko, but she is revealed to be a normal monkey, Michelle, who had agreed to help stop Mojo. The girls promptly take Mojo to prison.
