Supper Villain

"Supper Villain" is the second episode (part two) of The Powerpuff Girls season two, and the fifteenth overall. It aired on August 6, 1999 on Cartoon Network. It was written by Michael Ryan and Amy Keating Rogers, and directed by Genndy Tartakovsky and series creator, Craig McCracken.

Middle-mannered surburbaner Harold Smith secretly plots against the Powerpuff Girls, and when his wife invites them over for dinner, he has the perfect opportunity to defeat them--at least after dinner, if his wife has anything to say about it.

Memorable quotes
Narrator: The city of Townsville--An average city with average suburbs and average neighborhoods with average family homes. Here, we start with an average family, the Smiths.

MaryAnn: Those Powerpuff Girls ruined my dinner! Narattor: Oh, uh. Looks like evil runs in the family. So once again, the day is saved--I mean, dinner is ruined, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!

Behind the scenes

 * The episode title is a pun on "Super villain." Get it?

Errors

 * The way Harold responds to MaryAnn asking who wanted dessert, the expression on his face looks more humored than annoyed.
 * The police just burst into the house without any knowledge of what's going on. Even if there had been a phone call of the noise, the police wouldn't just burst down the front door without a solid reason. Well...

Everlasting influence

 * "Just Desserts" acts as a sequel.
