"Strike" is the second episode in season 1 of The Proud Family. It first aired on September 21, 2001, along with "Rumors".

Overview[]

Penny and her friends feel like they are not getting enough money to do whatever they want to do, so they go on strike.

Episode Summary[]

All Penny needs to do is clean up her room. But Oscar tells Penny to clean up the whole house, which was his job that Trudy told him to do. Penny only gets her normal pay. Five dollars. But five dollars isn't enough to see a movie with her friends. Because of this, Penny feels unappreciated and underpaid. All of her friends feel the same way so she and her friends decide they want grown-up money for grown-up work. To get their way, they must go on strike. No chores until they get a better bigger allowance pay! But because of that...they all get kicked out of their house. They'll do everything they can get a raise of allowance. But slowly the strikers stop protesting and go back home. But Penny will not give up hope, even when there is no one left but her. After having a nice talk with her father and negotiates with him, Oscar finally gives Penny more money of her allowance that she wants after finishing chores, making her feel happy.

Trivia[]

  • Moral: Some things are more important than money, like a hot meal, a bed, and a roof over your head.
  • This episode marks the first appearance of Wizard Kelly.
  • This episode was the sixth episode to be produced, but it aired second.
  • On Disney+, this episode and "Rumors" are swapped in airing order.
  • Intro door guest: Wizard Kelly
  • This episode marks Bobby’s (Oscar’s brother) first mention.
  • Penny tells Sticky that her family are republicans and do not pay taxes.
