TEEN TITANS GO! “You’re Fired!” Review


Guest stars can make or break an episode, I think. In some shows, having a guest star can up it’s cool-ness factor, but other times, the guest star in question can bog it down/ Does that happen with Titans Go?

In “You’re Fired“, the Titans finally give Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) the pink slip after his latest idiocy causes a planet to blow up (!), and now they need a replacement. After holding some…interesting auditions, the Titans settle on the Wonder Twins! But Beast Boy has plans to get his old job back…

This episode is pretty amazing, just for the guest stars! The auditions, of course, are the perfect excuse to showcase some more obscure DC heroes. Vixen, B’Wana Beast, and Detective Chimp all try out, but Cyborg (Khary Payton) is pretty biased for his buddy BB, so they all get the buzzer.

When the Titans finally decide on the Wonder Twins, more hijinks ensue as the Titans are impressed with Jayna’s (Tara Strong) powers, but not Zan’s (also Khary Payton) (I guess turning to water isn’t as cool as it sounds). But the twins come as a package deal, so Zan gets stuck as the receptionist, which is no fun, since people keep trying to call Batman.

The episode itself is hilarious. The twins, as one might imagine, have some really good chemistry that works perfectly for this show. The script is fast, the voice acting is still some of the best in any current comedy, and I adored the ending. Hint: never give Beast Boy the job of receptionist!
