#OscarTheOuch is the 14th episode of Sam & Cat.

Plot[]

The episode begins with Sam and Cat visiting Nona in Elderly Acres. They give her "stool softeners" (pillows which make chairs soft), which embarrasses Nona. They then proceed to give out pillows to several Elderly Acres residents.

Afterward in Elderly Acres, someone accidentally lets go of a motorized wheelchair which almost hits an old man who is trying to pick up his spilled pills. In the nick of time, Cat saves the old man by pushing him out of the way. The old man's daughter thanks Cat for saving her father's life. To promote Sam and Cat's babysitting business, Nona tells the old man's daughter that Sam and Cat are professional babysitters. After hearing Nona's statement, the old man's daughter doesn't know whether or not to let Sam and Cat to babysit her accident-prone child called Oscar. After discussing it with Sam and Cat, she agrees to let them babysit Oscar.

Oscar comes inside Sam and Cat's apartment to be babysat and then starts eating noodles on the floor. Cat then asks Oscar if he wants to do something fun and if he wants to go out to eat, to which Oscar declines in concern for his safety. Oscar then enters the bathroom and, to his dismay, gets stuck in the toilet while Cat prys him out and Sam stands there laughing.

While Sam, Cat, and Oscar are at Punchy's, Dice shows a young man how to successfully punch people when boxing. Because of this, Goomer believes that Dice is betraying him and gets somewhat offended. Oscar sees a gumball machine and excitedly purchases a gumball, but drops it and it rolls away. Oscar looks for the gumball and starts to grab it under a bench. Unfortunately, a man sits on the bench, which breaks it, nearly crushing Oscar.

Because of the incident, Sam and Cat put Oscar in protective gear they purchased from Punchy's, then leave and travel to Bots.

At Bots, Sam, Oscar, and Cat order nachos from Zerp, while another robot serves two snipers. Brody and other spear fisherman are coming with loaded spear guns, but it didn't hurt Oscar. Out of curiosity, Oscar asks why their nachos don't have as much cheese as the snipers' nachos do, so Sam and Cat call Bungle and tell him that they don't have enough cheese on their nachos. Instead of doing it herself, Bungle calls Tandy to do it. Tandy comes with a cheese gun and tells Sam and Cat to put their hands off the table, as the cheese is extremely hot. In an attempt to put more cheese on Sam, Oscar, and Cat's nachos, he misfires and accidentally sprays Oscar in the face with the cheese gun.

Later at Sam and Cat's apartment, Cat places a towel on his face which reveals that Oscar's face is badly burned. Cat then asks Oscar if he wants to do something else. Oscar says that he likes golf, so Cat, Dice, Goomer, and Sam bring Oscar to a golf club called "Drive Me Crazy". At the club, Oscar accidentally gets whacked in the face with many golf clubs.

At Sam and Cat's apartment, Oscar's mother is angry at Cat and Sam for not keeping Oscar safe. Oscar stands up for himself and says if it wasn't for Cat and Sam, he wouldn't have had the best day of his life. He announces that he got to go to the bathroom alone, he got to see a gumball machine, and he got to experience hot cheese on his face. After saying this, lightning strikes Oscar while Cat, Oscar's mother, and Sam stand in shock while the credits are displayed at the bottom left corner.[2] It's unknown if Oscar survived this.

Allusions[]

Character revelations[]

  • This episode reveals Nona can speak Japanese.

Goofs[]

  • Mrs. Lurkin said that Oscar was very clumsy, but he isn't, as most of his injuries are from his horrendous bad luck.
  • Tarantulas are not "super poisonous." They're just poisonous, but they have side effects.
    • However, depending on what kind of tarantula he had could be debatable. Why he would bring a poisonous tarantula in a fast-food restaurant and wasn't kicked out for it, is still unknown.
  • Oscar's mom telling him to stand outside in a lightning storm is very out of character.
  • If Oscar got struck by lightning, he wouldn't be able to still stand and say "predicament".
  • It is surprising that Sam and Cat were not charged or arrested after the way they treated Oscar. (Especially since Cat insisted on defying the specific rules)
  • When Mrs. Lurkin is chatting to Sam and Cat when she arrives to get Oscar, the couch slightly turns.

Running gags[]

  • Oscar getting hurt.
  • Oscar saying "predicament" whenever he is in a dangerous situation.

Series continuity[]

  • Cat was very quick and loud to tell Bungle they weren't done with their food. This is probably a reference to #BabysitterWar when Bungle took Cat's food when she wasn't done because Sam told her to.
  • Cat said she falls into the toilet all the time. This is a reference to #Pilot when Cat asked Nona what she should do if she falls into the toilet again.

International premieres[]
