Musclecup

"Musclecup" is the eleventh episode of The Powerpuff Girls season two, and the fiftieth overall. It aired on June 11, 2017 on Cartoon Network. It was written by Haley Mancini, Kyle Neswald, and Benjamin P. Carow, produced by Pernelle Hayes, directed by series creators, Nick Jennings and Bob Boyle, and voice directed by Jack Fletcher.

Feeling inadequate, Buttercup juices on Muscle Maxifier. I'm sure there's an anti-drugs message in there somewhere, hopefully.

Behind the scenes

 * Jaydeep's Gym Jam is named after Jaydeep Hasrajani, one of the writers and storyboard artists of this episode.
 * In the recurring joke of the girls not remembering the Gnat's name, Bubbles calls him Jack, and Buttercup calls him Carlton.

Errors

 * Not funny that in Buttercup's muscular form she looks like an amputee victim.
