The MOST Ridiclous Kids Corner Episodes

    Kids Corner has so many ridiculous episodes: bad hacking scenes, weird theology, bizarre premises. These are the most ridiculous episodes from each season.

Season 1:

Lost and Found Pt. 1 and 2. Why does this episode exist? It’s a take on Jesus’ prodigal son story, but it is stupid. The premise is that Liz, Linda, and Granny Gecko are baking cookies to help some charity event. However, the agreement is that Liz gets to keep the cookies he made to do whatever with them, if he wants to. Liz gets fed up with the work and takes his batch and leaves. ALL FINE ACCORDING TO THE AGREEMENT.

His sister Linda is upset about this, but the B-plot is that Granny Gecko lost chickies and a ring. Meanwhile, Liz takes his cookies to the park and makes some ‘friends’ until the cookies are gone. He then comes back beaten and muddy, and Granny forgives him. Linda is upset and…you see where this is going. Granny is the father, Liz is the prodigal son, and Linda is the older brother. However, the problem is that LIZ DID NOTHING WRONG!!! Why would Granny agree to allow him to take his cookies before the episode if she didn’t expect him to do that? Did Liz have bad foreign policy when he rationed his cookies? Could Liz have done something more useful? Could he have held onto power more? Yes, yes, and yes. Is bad policy sinful…not in this case. Liz should NOT be apologizing.

Season 2: I have to pick two episodes here Whats in a Name is one of the most ridiculous episodes known to man. After Liz says ‘oh geeze’ taking Gods name in vaid, Grandpa Adole, Granny Gecko conduct full….litrally FULL military tribunals and spy on the kids around town to see if they take God’s name in vain, including hearing provate prares from kids and soccer teams…also Lacy gets indited in this ‘investigation’ for praying for her team to lose…so w theology from Reframed there.

For the Love of Liz makes no sense. In this episode, Liz runs for student council president against a kid we have never heard of. The episode takes the typical approach of Liz giving outlandish promises, just like Curt did in Adventures in Odyssey. However, rather than running against Lucy Cunningham-Schultz and conceding the election because Curt was mean, Liz gets clobbered.

Lizardo Quintus Lacerta received THREE votes. THREE!! How the heck did only two people vote for him? The reason is, get this, it was leaked that he argued with Lucille. Lucille argues with Liz ALL THE TIME!!! So what, they argued with each other. That should not swing an election by 70 points!!! Ridiculous. People argue all the time. Students, especially in elementary school, are gullible. Liz should have WON!!

Oh also…What in a name airs right after this…..and Scooter is beating Skink in an election…so how many elections does this school have?

Season 3:

It was hard to decide between Godprints, where the kids ‘investigate’ ‘coincidences,’ and What Not to Wear, but as I am the ‘modesty debater,’ I’ll pick What Not to Wear. Why…just why does this episode exist? Lucille, convinced by Lacy, the only person who can get her to do ‘wrong,’ wears ‘immodest’ clothes. Apparently, this means that Lucille is invited by the Iguanas, the local bully group, to join their club, she stops caring about Bible study, and loses a job because…what, she wore a crop top? (It’s not specified). Her entire personality changes because her skirt was past her knees? Be for real, KC.

Season 4: Loaves & Fishes

Liz preaches to kids to ‘repent’ from the monkey bars, tries to write a book, accidentally breaks a house, and when teaching a Bible lesson, goes over the Greek word for ‘the’ in Genesis 1:1. Meanwhile, Lucille wants to go be a missionary in Phinastan, but because her mean, lying, conniving neighbor hates her after she asks for some money to raise to go to Phinastan and writes a mean letter…she can’t go…for reasons or something. Truly one of the funniest episodes of all time.

Season 5:

What Time Is It? I have talked about this on my podcast before, but this is just…hilarious. Lucille is distracted by…get this, ‘high-speed email’ or high-speed Internet that leads to her being able to email. The first in a series of more ‘restricted tech’ episodes, Lucille Monitor, the ‘perfect’ kid who never does anything wrong, can’t write an article because…she gets emails? FROM WHO??? The town has like 30 people in it…where the heck is the email coming from? It totally messes with her character to prove a point.

Season 6:

I was going to pick the internet shopping episode…I almost picked it, but then I found this one. Racing to Win…an episode where Grandpa Anole literally lies to Liz…and is in the right!! Liz finds an old race car in Grandpa’s barn that he wants to drive, but Grandpa Anole wants to train him first. Liz’s mom wants him to cut the lawn of some elderly woman. Liz declines, so Grandpa Anole has him do it, calling it ‘training’ for racing. After days of just cutting a field and not really learning much, Liz wants to quit. Unfortunately, Grandpa Anole has collaborated with Liz’s parents to force him to keep mowing the lawn. On the way back, Grandpa ‘collapses,’ and Liz has to drive the truck. Grandpa then recovers and tells him it was a test…

Yeah, I’m sorry, but lying to a child and then getting him to commit a crime so that…he cuts the lawn is a bit excessive, but that’s just me.

Season 7:

Six Clocks. The Lizardo Detective Agency has upgraded from solving why God is good sometimes in their life to investigating stolen diamonds. Now you see why my real-life expectations were so high. Liz is able to beat the police (who miss obvious clues) and find out who the jewel thieves are…it’s ridiculous, especially since it somehow involves all his friends.

Season 8:

Purloined Pie…three words: out of character. Yes, apparently, we are meant to believe that Lucille is a thief and steals pies now. This cuts against her health and goody-two-shoes beliefs. Absolutely ridiculous.

Season 9:

A Fair Shake is probably one of the most FRUSTRATING Kids Corner episodes that has ever been made. Lucille reports that she gets a test answer wrong and gets mad about her A+ changing to an A, but Liz…who is maybe in 6th grade, somehow gets a job, and then is manipulated by Skink to think that Big Daddy is ripping him off, so Liz gets replaced by Scooter, and then Liz starts picketing the shop…why…why does this exist? This plotline did not need to happen.

Season 10:

Halfway point, and Spike gets kidnapped by a pop star!!! Yes, Spike visits Papa Dogg Trouble, whose car broke down in Terrene, so he has to hang out for a bit. Mr. Lacerta does some ‘internet research’ on the artist and finds out that his rap music is inappropriate and that Papa Dogg is a criminal. Meanwhile, Papa Dogg is stealing a car and takes Spike with him because…why? He could not get a taxi? There is no way for him to get to his next concert, so he kidnaps a kid? The episode is supposed to teach you that bad music is bad because the artist might steal a car and kidnap you?

Season 11:

Season 11 is essentially a two-part episode, a one-off, and a giant seven-part series. Season 11 essentially reformed Kids Corner into the modern show it is by introducing new characters and WLZR, Liz’s Christian radio station that is used in seasons to come. However, this causes so many problems later down the line, such as, why is this mega-viral Christian radio star…so…so ‘sinful’ and have so many problems struggling with the same sin over and over again? Why is Liz still getting kidnapped? However, those are questions for another article. The craziest episode here is probably On the Same Page.

This episode creates one of the best songs of all time, but we have to hear some stank, I mean absolutely garbage, ‘music’ to get through it. It is rough. Apparently, Granny Gecko, who is canonically 75, still believes her instrument is the most important, and the new character, atheist Jimmy Anole, has to teach the newly formed band that they are all members of one body…(see where this is going) and they magically figure out how to make music.

Season 12:

Okay, Season 12 is…is…it’s something. Lucille is doing a dance with Skink, Liz’s birthday party is canceled, the kids a few episodes later join middle school (oh yeah, so Liz started a band, got kidnapped, hosts a radio station, and investigated a jewel heist all before turning 11). Vandalizes a ‘rival’ school…Needless to say, picking an episode here is a coin toss. I’ll go with The Great Jewel Heist. Apparently, a reporter somehow gets Liz’s phone number and writes a story about him.

Liz and his gang then solve a case, but apparently, the guy arrested is not the guy who did it, and the guy who really did it digs up the jewels, which are under the town. Fortunately, Liz and his 10-year-old friends catch him, in the nab of the century, and a few episodes later, Liz and his law-loving friends…STEAL ANOTHER SCHOOL’S STATUE!!! So…yeah.

Season 13:

Season 13 has ‘demonic’ lizards faking faith, and yet I will still pick Hold the Phone. Apparently, tech has regressed in Terrene. Season 13 would have come out around 2013, and yet the ‘top-of-the-line’ phone is literally the Nokia N95, and Liz has something worse than that. He lost his phone, and mean texts start appearing on his friends’ phones. Instead of blocking him, talking to him about it, or calling his parents…nah, airheaded valley girl Cindy and her cheerleader friends, the football team, and half of the school, including Lucille, CHASE LIZ AROUND and want to clobber him in the town square, even after Spike explains his phone was stolen (except Lucille, of course)…if I chased everyone who has sent me a mean message…I would be running for days. This episode does have some funny one-liners, though, like Cindy saying, “he insulted my intelligence,” and Spike retorting, “there’s nothing to insult,” or Spike saying, “Sometimes it is best for you to wait for what you seek.”

Season 14:

Season 14 could be called the ‘Love Season’ as it features Lizard Love Battle, one of the dumbest episodes to ever be featured in the history of Audio Drama, but even that cannot top “Lucky Lizards,” where lying to children is okay again. Apparently, Granny Gecko just drops 500 dollars at the park for Spike and Liz to pick up. They do, and things spiral out of control, with Granny calling the greatest detective agency in the town to help her find it, and it’s revealed that it was a test, and Granny Gecko and Lucille were in on it and were lying about it… But it’s for a lesson, so it’s fine.

Season 15:

Sinful Saturday. Famed Christian radio host Liz is bored on a Saturday, so what does he do? Oh, nothing, just ding-dong-ditch the meanest lady in town, drop water balloons on cars, and ride in a stolen car with Cole, nothing much. Yeah…so somehow Liz does more crimes in one day than I have in my entire life…oh, and Cole, Spike, and Julia are with him.

Season 16:

LYING IS FUN!!!! Down to the Nerves teaches kids that again, as Liz is scared of this dentist named ‘Dr. Pain,’ because his name is ‘Pain.’ Scooter then devises a plan to teach Liz a lesson about judging people with the Doctor. Thus, the Doctor himself LIES to Liz (Liz doesn’t know who it is), saying the Doctor is evil, nasty, and mean. Then, when Liz goes in for his examination, the doctor literally starts screaming at him and playing with a drill. Absolutely ridiculous.

Season 17:

Tall Liars Tone. Liz lies about rescuing someone to become student of the week. No, besides the fact that Liz has been in the paper, been kidnapped multiple times, and runs a radio show, that is not good enough to get someone in the news…he lies his way to NATIONAL TV!!! Literally, how? Lucille does a better fact check than the national TV anchors…disgraceful.

Season 18:

This has two equally ridiculous episodes. The New Improved Kayla essentially teaches kids that being a pop star is bad…I guess…Lights Out Lucille literally throws Liz’s phone into a ravine because he is on it during a nature walk because the power is out in the town, and when it finally turns back on, Granny Gecko is like, ‘electricity bad.’

Season 19:

Change of Plans is one of the funniest but most ludicrous episodes in KC history. Lucille gets sick, so Liz, famed Christian radio broadcaster, has to step in and lead Bible camp. The results…he starts singing about Styrofoam and saying Colossians has a colossal amount of info about Jesus. Apparently, in season four, when he was studying so hard his Bible lesson about 'in the' lasted one hour-----disent apply. 

Season 20 (4-parter):

Out of nowhere, Terrene is in decline, and some random woman tries to take over the town. However, she is foiled by none other than…the Lizardo Detective Agency. Yes, if it was not for them, Terrene would be dead by now.

Jesus Saves

He takes our bad out and puts His good in. Do you still mess up sometimes? Me too. But now we can have something we didn’t have before: forgiveness! Pray and ask God to forgive your sins because of what Jesus did. Instead of being guilty you’ll be forgiven. Now that’s not just good news – that’s the BEST news! Do you know how to look up verses in your Bible? Give these a try to read more about the best news ever.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Accept Christ today by admitting you are a sinner. Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again. Choose Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You are now a new Christian!!
