The Scoop (Teen Titans Go!)

"The Scoop!" is the first episode of the fifth season of Teen Titans Go! and the two-hundred-tenth overall episode of the series.

Plot
The Titans find it odd when Starfire becomes friends with an ice cream scoop.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) This episode continues the running gag of Starfire falling in love with a certain object/food which is disgusting.
 * 2) This episode encourages objectophilia (inanimate objects fetish), which is very unhealthy and the episode’s plot comes off too similar to the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "To Love A Patty" except the object is inedible and is used to handle food, an ice cream scoop and contains no gross closeups. Except there are live-action closeups and they’re very creepy.
 * 3) The beginning of the episode has a whole scene with Starfire fancying a waffle iron. It’s so disgusting actually.
 * 4) The Teen Titans RUIN the Hive Five’s ice cream party, why? Because “villains don’t deserve ice cream”. The Hive Five didn’t do anything wrong, they were just having a party and the Titans destroyed it. That reason alone is infuriating, anyone DESERVES to throw a party, even supervillains.
 * 5) *Robin even flat out tells them to think twice before acting like a normal member of society.
 * 6) ** To make things worse, Starfire even stole the ice cream scoop used to scoop ice cream for the party and falls in love with it.
 * 7) *** This is when it gets ridiculous, Starfire starts dating it, she goes out to lunch with it, goes on a romantic boat ride, flies around town, and EVEN sleeps with it. We wish we were joking but this is what happens.
 * 8) Starfire gets very irrational when Gizmo stole his ice cream scoop back so he can have his party, this results in Starfire locking the Titans in the basement, tied to chairs, slapping at them, yelling at them, using her waffle iron to “speak” to them, and getting aggressive. All for Cyborg to tell her to look at the security camera footage.
 * 9) * To make things worse, the Teen Titans are objectophiles and have their object “companions”.
 * 10) They accept Starfire for the fetish even though the fetish is wrong, creepy, and unhealthy.
 * 11) Unlike SpongeBob in "To Love a Patty", Starfire does not learn her lesson in this episode as she tells the Titans that it is ok to accept objectophiles and not give them help. It essentially glorifies the meaning of fetish. Not a good thing to do.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) At least the Titans tried to reason with Starfire to tell her that fetish is unhealthy at the beginning of the episode.
