Detailed summary
Memorable quotes
Narrator: The city of Townsville is in need of some...
Teller: Help!
Blossom: Hey! Why shouldn't you put a toaster in a bathtub?
Man: Well, duh… You wouldn't be able to make toast in the kitchen.
Lady: Yeah! You would have to go to the bathroom every time you want a toast. What a waste of time!
Blossom: Why shouldn't you put a toaster in a bathtub full of water?
Peanut-shaped head guy: Because your toast would get soggy.
(The crowd applauds on the idea of soggy toast)
Man: So if we can get the monster to take a bath, his toast would get soggy!
Power plant worker: Yeah! That's how we destroy him! Make his toast soggy!
Buttercup: No, no, no! What would happen if you were in the bathtub when the toaster fell in?
Guy with glasses: Um? Wha… Get shocked?
Girls: Yes!! Now you have it!
Narator: So, once again, the day is saved, with no thanks to the Powerpuff Girls! Hey, I did that all by myself.

Behind the scenes
- The episode's title is a play on "to pooped to pop". You're welcome…
- This episode marks the second time the citizens of Townsville save the day in an episode, the first time was in "Collect Her".
- Despite helping the citizens of Townsville destroy the monster, the irony is that the Powerpuff Girls did help the Mayor open a pickle jar earlier.
