Cyberchase Family Relations Explained

Motherboard "Mother B" x Dr. Elgin Marbles = Hackney Marbles

Hackney left home and changed his surname to "LeBoid"

Prior to developing a desire to conquer Cyberspace, he was in a relationship with Professor Wicker Witch

Hackney LeBoid x Wicker Witch = Digit LeBoid

The breakup (Wicker wanted to get married; Hackney did not) led to them becoming enemies. They changed their given names, respectively to "Wicked" and "Hacker"

Later, yet before becoming a Household Name, Hacker briefly met Princess Deia and potentially started a life of contentment

Hacker x Deia = Buzz, Delete LeBoid

Hacker could not fully conform to Deia's pacifist lifestyle, and the boys were given the option of who to live with. Buzz chose Hacker, and Delete chose Buzz

Digit could not stand by while his father and half-brothers dole out evilness, so he left to live with his paternal grandparents. At this point, Mother B and Elgin had just divorced, so Digit moves in with Mother B

Heartwarming Moments featuring Angelica Pickles, Part 5

2nd Christmas special

Angelica has an Imagine Spot where she visits Santa's workshop, and the elves lecture her on how mean she'd been. The girl admits that she calls many people 'dumb' but never really means it; as this happens only in her imagination, it's a good view of Angelica's subconscious mind and how she actually resents her own mean ways more than once. Later, she gives gifts to all the babies, even giving Dil his very first Christmas present (a toy reindeer that Angelica was already very fond of), and a small camera for Tommy, which later becomes a very clever foreshadowing of his film-making dreams in All Grown Up!. So yeah, Tommy discovered what he wanted to do in life thanks to Angelica.

Angelica's fondness of the little reindeer the fake Santa gives her is pretty heartwarming in itself, especially since she started out resenting it.

Heartwarming Moments: Knight Rider (1982), Part 8

Basically, throw a kid into the mix and KITT will, more often than not, end up being adorable. Mostly because the kid never has the gut-wrench reaction of "OMG TALKING CAR!" that many of the older people have and will quite happily chat away with him without freaking out.

There's KITT and Becky's relationship. We all know that KITT is stoic with a good side of snobbishness and vanity, but he will willingly sacrifice every scrap of dignity to make that little girl (she needed the bone marrow transplant) smile. She even calls him Black Beauty.

In "Ring of Fire," KITT admitted he's actually rather fond of dogs when they behave. He's later seen making friends with several guard dogs while stuck in the bayou.

Funniest Moments: Knight Rider (1982), Part 5

"Trust Doesn't Rust"

KARR "saves" the two thieves who reactivated him from...a Ring Master statue with a loudspeaker at a hamburger stall, who was voiced by a very irritated waiter...by smashing the statue. Michael and KITT are busted because KITT looks exactly like KARR in this episode. When Devon bails him out, Michael tells him how unnecessary the police action was.

Michael: Aren't we all over-reacting? All he did was run down a phony ringmaster. He didn't even steal any hamburgers!

KITT and KARR's bantering back and forth. KARR plays the straight man, while KITT pours on the snark.

KARR: Desist your pursuit! You will be damaged! KITT: KARR, I didn't know you cared.

Michael decides to engage in a game of chicken with KARR

Bonnie: Michael? Remember all the times I called you irresponsible and impulsive? I didn't mean it. Michael: Remember all the times I said you were bossy and demanding? I didn't mean it. KITT: Michael? Bonnie? Why are you lying to yourselves?

META

To celebrate the anniversary of the novel, and to boost morale during the COVID-19 Pandemic, the team released a brief video📷 about what Crowley and Aziraphale are doing during the lockdown.

This is already sweet on a meta-level, but the video reveals Aziraphale and Crowley are both adhering to lockdown and social distancing rules — despite the fact that they can't get sick — and are calling to check up on each other.

And Crowley, despite this being a perfect time to get up to temptations and other demon-appropriate activities, is utterly against the idea. If he goes outside, people might follow his bad example and get hurt!

Heartwarming Moments featuring Angelica Pickles, Part 4

1st Christmas special

a man who appears to be Santa Claus walks through the door to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. He gives each of the children a gift and notably asks Chuckie, who had been afraid of him if he (Santa) was still scary, and Chuckie smiled. He even gave Angelica a present who, though she had been bad, was trying to do good to make up for it. Santa told her "sometimes trying your hardest to be good is as important as already doing good". He gives her the toy she wanted but also leaves her a small lump of coal inside so she knows that she still needs to be good.

Near the end of the episode, Phil and Lil give each other Christmas presents, which turn out to be a Reptar space helmet and a box of crayons. However, the two are still sad, because, to get these gifts, both twins had to trade their favorite toys (Phil's Reptar doll and Lil's coloring book) to Angelica in order to get the other's present. The two immediately piece together what the other did, and they genuinely thank each other...which makes it even sweeter when Angelica gives their toys back.

Funniest Moments: Knight Rider (1982), Part 4

When KITT pretended he was an alien from outer space in "Not a Drop to Drink".

KITT: (opens his side door) I've come to collect you. Lawson: You mean you wanna take me out there!? Into space!? KITT: That's right. Unless you have some information you want to give me. Lawson: Like What? KITT: Like, what this earthlings' Bremons next move is. Our supreme council finds his antics quite amusing. Lawson: I could get in big trouble if I told you that! KITT: What do you mean get, you are in big trouble. Lawson: I.. I.. don't know anything! E-e-except it's got to do with the main water pipes. That's all I can tell you! Now please go! KITT: Thank you very much. I'll be seeing you around. Lawson: Not if I can help it!

That, and KITT playing matador with a runaway bull.

KITT: (opens car door and calls the bull) Toro! Toro! Toro! (drives circles around the bull) Olé! Olé! Olé!

Heartwarming Moments: Hey Arnold, part 11

Even if the dream Arnold has in the Parents Day episode is mostly a tearjerker, seeing that as the start of Grandpa's exaggerated stories for him, and also Grandma's crazy behavior, creating the possibility that those are their methods of helping him cope with his parents never returning, which they held on to during the next years until the time of the series. Considering also them both, with those things as part of them, is what shaped Arnold to be who he is. Those sure are some awesome grandparents.

The final scene of "Parents Day". During which, it is accompanied by a beautiful piano piece that follows through the credits.📷Arnold's dream sequence, where the realization sets in for both Arnold and the audience that, for all intents and purposes, Arnold's grandparents are his parents, as they have raised him and cared for him ever since he was orphaned as a child.

They're small moments, but Helga's actions to help Phil win against her father in the final challenge show how much she's willing to help the guy she loves. Never insult Arnold for being an orphan, especially not in front of her.

Continuing on Helga's character, she also shows how supportive she is to Phoebe and her family when they win. She cheers her on and even gives her a thumb's up! And Phoebe, in turn, gives one back. Aww...

In a mix of heartwarming and tearjerker, after Bob calls Arnold an "orphan boy" Helga is so upset by this that she immediately drops the act and attempts to apologize on her father's behalf.

Heartwarming Moments: Good Omens (2019), part 11

A small one, but Crowley only ever takes his sunglasses off either when he is completely alone or when he is alone with Aziraphale. He even keeps his them on when meeting with fellow demons even though there's no reason to hide his eyes from them. It's only around Aziraphale where he is comfortable enough without the shades.

Heartwarming Moments: Knight Rider (1982), Part 7

"Junkyard Dog"

Michael's reaction to the empty shell of KITT after he's hauled out of the acid pit.

Don't even get started on Michael's dogged refusal to give up on KITT afterward, from sitting outside the workshop like an anxious relative waiting outside of the "emergency room" to his talking KITT into going back into the field when he's clearly scared to death by recounting the terror he himself experienced after his "death" at the beginning of the series.

When the lead engineer notes KITT's been traumatized by his experience, he mentions reassigning KITT to "light" duty (basically retiring him). Michael however won't hear of it.

Michael: KITT is the world's greatest automobile! What do you want to do, turn him into a golf cart?!

Heartwarming Moments: Hey Arnold, part 10

In "Olga Gets Engaged", Helga was perfectly willing to let Olga throw her life away so she can marry her fiancé, Doug, who was really a smooth-talking con-artist who has another girlfriend and is planning on cleaning Olga out for everything she has once the two get married.

Helga soon realizes she can't go through with it and threatens Doug to leave before she reveals to his girlfriend that he's getting married to another woman (Olga). Doug relents, but before leaving, he asks why Helga would do this despite her resentment towards Olga. Helga's response: "When your sister's in trouble, you're supposed to do something about it. It doesn't matter if you like her or not, you're supposed to do something."

Doug admits (with a surprising sincerity) that he did like Olga, even if he didn't actually love her. Coming from an unfaithful gold-digger like Doug, that's rather gracious for him.

Heartwarming Moments: Good Omens (2019), part 10

In the end, after everything's settled and Aziraphale and Crowley have avoided punishment for betraying Heaven and Hell, they go out to eat at the Ritz, where they toast over saving the world and complement each other in their own ways.

Aziraphale: I like to think none of this would have worked out if you weren't, at heart, just a little bit of a good person. Crowley: And if you weren't, deep down, just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing. [Crowley and Aziraphale smile and hold up their champagne flutes] Crowley: To the world. Aziraphale: To the world.

To solidify this point, the scene immediately prior to this one has Aziraphale and Crowley discussing their respective "executions." Crowley doesn't discuss blowing hellfire at Gabriel – that's just Crowley.

But Aziraphale takes an almost childish glee in telling Crowley how he asked Beelzebub for a rubber duck before making Archangel Michael miracle him a bath towel, which Crowley finds absolutely hilarious.

Aziraphale has been rather tight-laced up until now and doesn't show as many evil leanings as Crowley does good ones, so it really hammers in it that Aziraphale wasn't doing this to act like Crowley and that he really get some enjoyment out of fucking with everyone like that.

Crowley and Aziraphale's expressions and body language as they toast and afterward are also worth noting. Crowley is looking fondly at Aziraphale and gives a very slight smile as he raises his glass. Aziraphale lowers his eyes in a flirtatious manner, smiles, and looks across at Crowley before adding his emphatic "To the world."

As the camera pulls back and God's narration drowns out their conversation, Aziraphale is chattering animatedly at Crowley, stretching out an arm towards him, leaning across the table to him and laughing. It's the most open and engaged we see the angel, who always kept a certain distance from his friend before now. It's clear that Aziraphale is no longer holding back on their friendship. Crowley, meanwhile, looks both relaxed and attentive to the conversation, no longer constantly watching their backs.

"Knight of the Drones"

A completely smashed-up via missile launcher KITT weakly asks Bonnie why it's so dark outside. She tells him that it's night.

Bonnie is sometimes jokingly referred to as KITT's mother, but in this scene, you can't help but buy it.

Heartwarming Moments featuring Angelica Pickles, Part 3

At the end of "Angelica's Last Stand," Chuckie accidentally spills lemonade on Angelica's head. All the babies brace themselves for what's coming, but Angelica laughs it off and playfully chases Chuckie around with her own cup of lemonade, both of them laughing the whole time.

Funniest Moments: Knight Rider (1982), Part 3

The opening of "Good Day at Whiterock" has Michael order a cheeseburger from a fast-food joint next door in a ridiculously fancy restaurant while Devon eats snails.

The best part is, they actually got him a burger, good service.

Later, Michael and Sherry hide inside KITT, with the latter calmly introducing himself while a group of angry bikers attempt (and fail) to break KITT.

"Knightmares"

Michael has amnesia and thinks he's Michael Long again. He asks KITT to tell him about himself.

KITT: One more thing you should know about Michael Knight.

Michael: What's that?

KITT: I was extremely fond of him.

Funniest Moments: Knight Rider (1982), Part 2

The towing incident from "Deadly Maneuvers". Piece of advice, never insult machines when one that can hear you is in the area.

Michael: Well, these computer things are just a waste of time anyway. KITT: Ahum. Michael: Oh, present company excluded, of course.

How KITT describes two men trying to run them off the road:

KITT: (in a calm and almost deadpan voice) Michael, I believe as usual you may have attracted the attention of some highly homicidal personalities. KITT's flamethrower, which looks like a giant fart.
