"Monster Madness" is the first segment of the seventh episode of the first season, and 33rd overall episode of ''Wow! Wow! Wubbzy.'' It aired on October 25, 2006 on Nick Jr. and April 25, 2009 on Comedy Central's former children's block, 9 Story Meets Nintendo.

Summary
A horror movie scares the death out of Wubbzy.

Why It's Madness

 * 1) Ignoring the main problem, let's just move into WIS#2. The entire episode is just completely unnecessary for a show aimed at little children. It's no wonder Comedy Central airings ban this episode (as well as its sister episode "The Last Leaf") in 2019, while the show wasn't even on the air on that network. When it returned in 2020, this episode did not.
 * 2) Wubbzy is being an absolute scaredy-cat in this episode. He starts hallucinating monsters after staying up late watching horror movies. This whole mess could've been avoided if he hadn't watched scary movies at night.
 * 3) The anthology is titled, "Mad Marvin's Monster Movie Marathon," which is a crazy and overly alliterative name for something scary.
 * 4) You know how in dark scenes, all we see are a character's eyes? Well, they do that for this show. When Wubbzy turns the the lights off, it goes black, and when he opens his eyes, he starts off cold-staring directly at us! Sure, this gag is OK, but it just doesn't work unless the character has sclera, and since Wubbzy has no sclera, it's just creepy.
 * 5) Wubbzy and Widget run over to Walden's house and just bang on his door in the middle of the night, screaming for help. When he opens, they get scared. But it turns out, he just made pie.
 * 6) Walden is not any better, as he forces Widget to believe that monsters are not real.
 * And, worst of all, the infamous climactic scene where the Monster Masher 3000 goes off by accident by the sight of a fly. Wubbzy wakes in shock, and then hides under the covers. It's very upsetting to see him helplessly under the cover, begging, crying, screaming and pleading for help. Thankfully, Widget comes to the rescue upon hearing his woman-like scream, but almost gets attacked by the giant robot.
 * 1) *The sentences Wubbzy says also add to the creepiness, especially when he calls for "HELP!" While this isn't bad per se, it's been used in literally every single show to the point where you just can't take it. It's no wonder it used the 2004 CPTV logo when it aired on 9-SMN before it got shortly removed in 2018 as part of a restructuring.
 * 2) *The worst issue is... THE MONSTER MASHER WAS DESIGNED TO SCARE AWAY THE MONSTER, AND HE HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. This just GOES to show how much of a lady Wubbzy is.
 * 3) *While "Wubbzy and the Fire Engine" was the darkest, this is the worst.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Semi-decent ending, where all the "monsters" are uncovered.
 * 2) The animation is decent as always.
