| “ | All I have to do is use that tip calculator to go back in time and keep them from ever tasting Frosty Freezy Freeze. Then, they'll never have any reason to come into this store - ever! | ” |
— Lenny | ||
Back from the Future is the episode 3b of Fanboy & Chum Chum season 2.
Lenny discovers that Dollarnator is a time machine other than a robot life form, so he uses him to travel back in time to stop Fanboy and Chum Chum from ever having their first Frosty Freezy Freeze so they won't go the Frosty Mart. But from a squirting machine to a "Bop" acronym, Lenny's attempts get more worse with each travel.
Plot[]
The episode begins with Lenny cleaning the windows and smiling. Suddenly, Dollarnator shows up and states that Lenny's milk has expired. Lenny gets scared, but then Fanboy and Chum Chum jump out of Dollarnator. Fanboy explains that Dollarnator isn't just a robot, he's a time machine as well. They used Dollarnator to go into the future. That gave Lenny an idea. He tells Dollarnator to travel five years into the past to forget Fanboy and Chum Chum having a Frosty Freezy Freeze. Lenny hops into Dollarnator and begins to travel in time. In the past, a younger Lenny is cleaning the windows and notices Dollarnator coming in. Lenny tells his past self if he sees Fanboy and Chum Chum, avoid giving them Frosty Freezy Freezes. Outside, a young Fanboy explains to Chum Chum that they are going to the library, but don't know the directions. They ask young Lenny where the library is, but Lenny accidentally releases Frosty Freezy Freeze from the machine. Fanboy and Chum Chum get so happy, they want more. Lenny travels five years again. This time Boog walks in. In the past, Boog called Lenny "Boss". Lenny tells Boog to bop Fanboy and Chum Chum when they walk in. But, it proves that the "BOP" doesn't work. The bop means "Bring Out Products". Lenny travels again. He puts nails on wood on the door. Fanboy and Chum Chum who were in the machine, meet their younger selves. The door blocking fails. Lenny tries it one last time. He traps young Lenny and Boog and meets up with Young Fanboy and Chum Chum. Without a shred of doubt, Lenny uses a baseball bat to destroy the Frosty Freezy Freeze Machine and turn it into a soothing Zen fountain. Baby Fanboy and Chum Chum cry. Lenny tells Dollarnator he's staying in the future. Dollarnator who is not amused tells him that it was an alternate present and leaves. Suddenly, a future Fanboy and Chum Chum appear. They look like their present selves, but with yellow capes, large jars with straws that carries the Frosty Freezy Freeze slushie, and robotic voices. They tell Lenny that they created Frosty Freezy Freezes with their minds. Future Fanboy offers Lenny a sample. The episode ends with Lenny liking the drink ad him, Fanboy, and Chum Chum shouting out "More!" ad infinitum.

Running Gags[]
- Lenny going back to 5 years ago.
- Baby Fanboy and Baby Chum Chum saying excuse me can you direct us to the library.
- Lenny under any circumstances giving Fanboy and Chum Chum up frosty Freezy freeze.
Trivia[]
- This episode reveals Hank wants a neck implant.
- The ending of this episode is non-canon, as the Frosty Freezy Freeze is back in the next episode. (The episode could have possibly been a dream)
- Kyle doesn't appear in this episode, but if you look closely as Dollarnator is about to disappear and reappear, the light field he creates looks similar to Kyle's energy sphere.
- Lenny said Dollarnator's name for the second time. The first was in "The Great Bicycle Mystery."
- This is one of few episodes to show a funeral.
- This episode appears to take place before "Robo-mance" as Dollarnator was shown flirting with the Invaders game.
- This episode shows how Lenny first meets Fanboy and Chum Chum.
- This episode reveals that Lenny hired Boog on his first day of working at the Frosty Mart.
- It's VERY likely that Berry was inside the machine and shattered to smithereens after Lenny destroyed it with the baseball bat.
Continuity[]
- Third time Fanboy and Chum Chum were seen as babies. First two were "The Tell-Tale Toy" and "Fan vs. Wild".
- Second time Lenny portrayed the antagonist. ("Jingle Fever")
- In this episode, Fanboy and Chum Chum both appear but their names were not said once. This doesn't count Baby Fanboy addressing Baby Chum Chum as "Young Chum Chum" during the past scenes. Additionally, this marks the first episode where Fanboy does not say Chum Chum's name.
- During the time stream scenes, the rock music during the ticket chase scene from "Chimp Chomp Chumps" is heard.
- When Dollarnator says he DJs on the weekend, the disco beats of the "Jingle Fever" version of The Dollar Dance is heard as background music.
Goofs[]
- Nearly every time Lenny time-travels, the past line rolls out a different way.
- The first two times we see baby Fanboy and Chum Chum, they are at the door when they talk, but the other two they are outside. In addition, the second time we first see them, baby Chum Chum's line is removed.
- Dollarnator said he does DJ-ing on the weekend, but the poster says he DJs on Friday. Therefore, he says he DJs on Saturday night, at the Space Bar at the DJ Dolla', but the poster says it's on Friday at Club Oz. In addition, even though he DJs on the weekend, Friday is technically a weekday.
- Lenny should've erased from existence when he encountered his past self several times, he also should've faded from existance when he returned to the Present-A.
- The universe should've ended when Lenny saw his past self.
- There should've been several Dollarnator's and Lenny's in the past from Lenny's repetitive attempts to replace the future.
- When Lenny talks to young Lenny for the first time, he says Fanboy and Chum Chum will be here in 1 minute, but that scene only lasted 19 seconds before the boys walk in. He could've said it for exaggeration.
- After young Lenny goes off to take the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine apart, Present Lenny's "Asst. Manager" tag disappears the next time we see him and it never returns.
- Baby Fanboy says "And you're telling me we have it in the past, too?" when he's actually in the past. He should've said "And you're telling me we have it in the future, too?".
- The third time we see baby Fanboy and Chum Chum in their Frosty likeness, it occurs just 16 seconds after we see them come out of Dollarnator. It's supposed to occur right after they drink it, as shown earlier and in the last time travel attempt.
- The last time travel attempt happens to go off-course, as Lenny offered baby Fanboy and Chum Chum Frosty Freezy Freeze then destroys the machine. His attempt is actually to stop the boys from tasting the drink, so he should have just destroyed the machine before they came in.
