    Ants in Pants! last edited by Superhero926 on 01/31/22 02:21PM View full history

    The Tick runs from doing chores and into battle with a thief stealing the glass from windows. He confronts one of the thieves and finds that she is really a conglomeration of ants. This sends the Tick for a loop and he finds a superhero psychiatrist to help him cope.

    While the Tick works out his issues with ants, Arthur teams up with American Maid and finds that all the glass is being taken to a giant anthill. They infiltrate the hill and find that all the glass is being melted down and formed into a giant magnifying glass. The ants want revenge on the humans for frying them. The superheroes do not fare well, as they are captured and placed in a people farm. Fortunately, the Tick is able to snap out of his state of fear and save the day.

    The Tick: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Fighting Ants 0

    I can't believe how great this episode is. Ants exacting revenge on humans with a giant magnifying glass? Arthur lamenting his sidekick deficiencies? Defladermaus hitting on women (and ants)? Tick's visit to a shrink that is merely a floating head? A man who hilariously lampoons Shaft? This episode crammed so much absurdity into it that I couldn't believe it was actually working. But it did.The best things about the episode, however, were the nods to Dr. Strangelove. The good doctor makes an app...
