Quotes[]

Lupe: ¡Oye! Corey Vulture, are you even listening to me? What kind of boyfriend are you to pay me no never mind! You think I can't do better than your sorry tail feathers?
(Corey chews his jerky, while completely ignoring Lupe)

(Lupe drops to the ground)
Adam: Lupe, are you okay?
Lupe: Yes, yes I am not.

Henry: Well, shoot. Maybe Adam Lyon ain't such a great matchmaker after all.

Errors[]

Headless Ingrid

Headless Ingrid

  • Animation Goof: In one scene, Jake tells Adam that he could make money off of his "match making services". The camera then zooms out, and Jake pulls down a flashing heart shapes sign from the ceiling. For a brief second, after the camera zooms out and the before the sign drops down, Ingrid Giraffe is seen without a head. This is due to the creators choosing to never show the entirety of Ingrid's body, so they never bothered designing a character model of her from head to toe. They usually have a model of her from the neck down, and have the top of her neck, cut off screen or hidden behind a tree, to give off the illusion that Ingrid is fully there, but her height prevents her from being fully shown. However, they made a mistake and showed a bit of a shocking image of a headless giraffe, that can clearly be seen in a frame or two, if paused at exactly the right moment.
