The Second Season Of Green Eggs and Ham – More Than A Daring Quest With Pam

As much as I enjoyed playing Pokémon Snap like how I did back in those days [20],

I strongly consider myself a fan of Green Eggs and Ham on Netflix as always [16].

Aside from how I wonder if a hotdog would come in red and blue stripes [4],

The trailer for the second serving started up a new wave of hype!

I saw a lot of good in it after the first season’s cliffhanger [32] [34] [35], despite a specific concern [39] [40].

The release is one of the things I needed after wanting to watch the social media world burn [36] [42]!

Quite a lot of questions were asked from fans before the serving had begun,

Like “Could Sam-I-Am show some more signs of having Bipolar One?” [34] [35] [39] [40],

“How does his mother really feel about seeing her son again after so long?”

And “Will another day of inventing in Guy-Am-I’s life go crazily wrong?”.

Even though the buttered side of my toast would be up in real life,

I would still not get involved in Yookia and Zookia’s strife [7] [23]. 

Grateful for the flavour hammer being dropped for the season time,

I shall express my thoughts on a season once again as I rhyme [16].

Let us not “Yook” this who or “Zook” that who [39] [40].
I just want to review the second serving with you.
Here I go again, my friend, rhyming like a poet as I write this review [34] [35] [39] [40].
Here come my overall thoughts of Green Eggs and Ham – Season Two! [16]

Sammy-I-Ammy is as adorable and hilarious as ever in Season Two!

You would simply go “Awwwww!” at him as a baby in a flashback, wouldn’t you [18] [19]?

He was childish and hyper when finally reunited with his mother, but I did not blame him.

He may have been a con man in the last season [32] [39] [40], but the chances of his defeat were slim.

His skills in spying evolved when he went on a daring mission with his mom,

But he went solo after finding out the truth, according to where it came from.

I felt bad for Guy when his business pulled a Michael Bay on him [30].

With his concerns and new responsibilities, his mood can still be dim,

But I can tell that he is not as depressed as he was in the previous season.

E.B. still craves some excitement in her life with her age being the reason.

With respect for her character and in a manner so mild,

I congratulate Michellee on having her second child [32],

Just like how Britney Spears on being able to have her third one [25],

But this review will not stop here as it only has just begun.

Dr. Linda Schwartz is pretty much Sam’s most affective alter-ego,
But has she been able to console with familiar puppets? Sort of so… [17]

Since the emo clique has been stereotyped to be depressed for years [26],
My theory of Sam having bipolar disorder could be agreed upon by more peers [34] [35] [39] [40].
In the present, when he looked into a new character’s eyes,
He must have seen his soul, much to my fellow viewers’ surprise.
I am sure glad he got to meet his mom after so many years.
It sure was heartbreaking to see Baby Sam burst into tears. [18]

I knew the name of the super spy mother of Sam would be “Pam-I-Am”!

Unfortunately, she is heavily centred around her job and would get annoyed at Sam.

The bedtime story she told her son was, unfortunately, lacking in the passion that night

And she told him to stick to a certain etiquette so that her mission to go right.

But there was a moment of Sam at different stages of growing up, including a teenage emo phase.

The mother and son teamwork sure makes up for how he missed out on every motherly praise.

Deep down, she abandoned Baby Sam to protect him after she got unexpectedly found [18] [32].

Her heart-breaking motive in that flashback reminds me of Queen Aleena from Sonic Underground [31].

Eventually, she lightens up after expressing some depth with a few tears.

Her secret hideout for a home is lovely, great for a sleepover away from fears.

Even though she was too dedicated to her mission to do the real right thing,

After a conflict between Guy, she was there for Michellee before a delivering.

I find it empowering and ambitious that Pam-I-Am, Sam’s mother is a spy,

Compared to how many other fictional parental figures would sadly die.

Some female empowerment in a second season? Heck yes, my friends!
Apart from that, the spy had the heart to make some motherly amends.
Pam was as hard as a rock when it came to being a spy,
But I am glad she soon softened up for the best friend of Guy. [18]

Surely, how Pam tried to make Sam go home was a little…off to a degree,
But how she slowly learned to bond with him again was touching to me. [17]

Guy’s further development occurred when he became too determined to be a protector [17].

He soon became a little skeptical towards Sam’s mother, failing to turn Sam against her. 

To an extent, he was right after Sam discovered the truth about the mission,

Which led to him knowing that his friends are his family additions [18].

The inventor clearly made a big mistake, making E.B. mad at him.

Despite the quirky slumber party at Pam’s, her mood remained dim.

At least Guy soon eventually did the right thing by slipping a key into a book

While Sam finally got what he had always wanted – seeing his mother cook [18] [19] [32].

Guy pushed himself even further when Michellee had some news,

Yet how he fell for anti-Yookia propaganda spiced up his blues.

I completely understood why he was happy to be working diligently as an inventor in Zookia

As he felt accepted, in spite of his previous failures and the nation’s bitterness against Yookia.

I believe he still suffers from depression to some extent in this season [32] [34] [35],

Yet he seems more motivated when it comes to inventing for a reason.

Guy and Michelle are pretty cute together as a couple, aren’t they?

Would their adorable biological baby named “Guy Jr.” like to play?

Of course, Guy just wanted young E.B. safe for his wife,
But at least he soon realised that he was working for the strife [17].
Since he is still the best friend of Sam,
Does he still like green eggs and ham? [17]

Pregnant with her second child, Michellee soon gained an effective supporting role.
Distracting a watcher from Guy’s work by painting a portrait of him was a goal [32]. 
Again, I congratulate her on having Child Number Two.
Other than that, when will the Am-Is have roast turkey that is blue [4]? [17]

What can I say about Phillip Trousers, the rather villainous guy?

He has been cunning and challenging as he wore his bow tie [17].

He is vain and often checks out his looks at inconsistent times.

Marilyn Blouse would sometimes be his partner-in-crime [32].

He is quite a parody of James Bond and Johnny English mixed in a blender [10] [21].

The two fans of Dr. Linda Schwartz’s book are pretty cute together.

The dude who warned Sam and Pam about how reversed aging seemed pretty cool.

I know that Snalfred, Pam’s butler is a parody of Alfred Pennyworth [27] [29], so I am no fool.

I had nothing against a lad named “Looka” still loving his stuffed toys.

I am sure there can be a little cuddliness for somewhat troubled big boys.

Do not forget that Sylvester has a family of his own and is on Pam-I-Am’s side

And the one hired who watch Guy work would not let a certain insecurity that slide.

Let us not forget about Gluntz who is still relevant in the series somehow.

Her entire mission was the capture and shame a league of cows.

Aside from our main cast growing as their own folks for me and you,

There have been some new witty supporting roles and antagonists too.

Mr. Phillip Trousers may have been a narcissistic rival to Pam,
But aside from his quirky defeat, does he like green eggs and ham [4]? [17]

Looka Ba-Dooka kind of reminds me of JoJo from Horton Hears A Who! [9].
It must be how his hair is styled and how his father is in charge too. [17]

There are some racist undertones within the propaganda against Yookia,

But at least there are places that seem like a lot of fun in Zookia.

That still did not stop E.B. from crushing on Looka, the young lad

And releasing that not all folks residing in Yookia are bad.

Moreover, Yookia is just as civilised but just as bitterly discriminatory.

It all started with the Dooka and Dookess of Ookia’s ancient story [32].

As you can see, Looka’s fondness for poetry is quite like me,

Yet I thought he would turn E.B. in after she revealed her honesty.

It is Montagues and Capulets all over again [1] [8] [32]. What else can I say?

Yookia and Zookia are very much alike, yet in an ongoing fray.

I see the familiar conflict from a teenage love story in Monster High.

Lagoona Blue, a salt-water gal was crushing on a fresh-water guy [14] [15].

Even though Looka was a prisoner, he and E.B. got advice from a guard

On how to maintain a healthy romance beyond how to spread butter or lard.

I knew the national conflicts would end at the end of the second season…

With two slices of toast put together by the rulers being the reason. 

I did not blame E.B. for how resentful she soon became
Since Yookia and Zookia’s rivalry gave each other a bad name [7] [17] [23].
Even though spreading some butter on top of toast seems more real,
Why demonise spreading it on the bottom part? That is no big deal! [17]

Pam might have fallen for anti-Zookia propaganda at some point throughout her career.
Why would she be working for Yookia years after having to leave her son in tears? [19]

It turns out that the premise of the second serving is based on another book [6] [32].

What differences and similarities are there in this adaptation? Let us take a look.

Well, there is a war over how to spread butter between two nations.

I hoped that the Dooka and Dookess could eventually move on from the bleak situations.

Zookia’s leader was never mentioned in the book

About bitterness over how buttered toast should look [7] [23].

Like in the book, Zookia’s prime colour is orange and Yookia’s is blue [23].

The Dooka of Yookia appears to be briefly based on Chief Yookeroo.

Just like in the book, the leader of Yookia used the Moo-Lacka-Moo,

But the cartoon had a happy ending instead of a cliffhanger [32]. Phew!

The book was written during the Cold War, which was a long time ago [6] [32].

Unfortunately, some shops were like, “Sorry, Dr. Seuss, but this is a no-no!”.

The Butter Battle Book was quite controversial, to say the least [6].

Aside from that, green ham and eggs are still a great feast [4] [18].

It is strange to believe that I have gone from reading and playing with a living book [4]

To wishing for an end to such hate, despite how similar the two towns look.

My boyfriend would compare the rivalry to a debate between Devon and Cornwall in the UK,
Which is deciding what goes first on a scone [11]? The jam or the cream? What would you say?
The adaption of a book is not as tight, compared to the events of the previous season [4] [34] [35].
The end of the butter battle on Netflix was two slices put together as a “voice of reason”. [17]

Ultimately, I felt no need to express a specific concern throughout each episode to play [39] [40],
But we still need to give support to those who have been affected by such dismay [28].
Thank Seuss the Goo-Lacko-Goo stopped the explosion from wrecking anything at all…
Well, all except how two nations were divided by a tall, tall wall. [17]

The animation and creativity are maintained for the season based on another book [5] [6].

The new title sequence consists of a slightly different but highly appealing look.

The theme song within a new title sequence consists of a different mood

As the season’s premise is dissimilar, compared to trying to get Guy to like certain food [4] [32].

The episodes’ titles are not based on a single rhyme from the classic book anymore [16],

But they are pretty good puns as references to what you might heard of before.

There are call-backs to the first season, including a familiar function of two rings.

The creativity of the series has expanded with many new surreal things,

Such as darts that tickle you relentlessly in a multicoloured aura

And a cold air balloon plane where a traveller could meet Laura Pandora [32] [41].

The laser hazards were no other than a bunch of skipping ropes

And the splendid colour palettes and details matched our high hopes.

We do not condone the sudden lack of credit for the animators [35],

But such disapproval towards that fact does not make us haters.

I hope they will be credited for their participation in future animations

As they hold their heads up and value their passions with determinations.

Another example of creativity is Sam’s dream of meeting his mom [19].
As a writer, I know that imagination is where creativity comes from [41].
It is pretty cool that ham and eggs are green in a black and white flashback [18].
The animators sure kept the efforts for the best quality possible on track [34] [35]. [19]

To the uncredited animators, we fans thank you for your hard work as well.
We dearly hope that you keep following your passions, cel by cel. [18]

Do any of my fellow fans think that there will be a Season Three?

I would like that, though it sounds a little unnecessary if you ask me.

There is no cliffhanger in the last episode, unlike the end of the first season [39] [40],

But there might be a lot of motivation for producing a third season for a reason.

Perhaps that can introduce Sam’s father and possibly his sister or brother.

Did Pam-I-Am have a gradually dying love life before she became a mother?

Perhaps some familiar faces can be brought back, such as the fox and the mouse [32] [34] [35]?

My boyfriend and I could watch a third season after moving to a slightly bigger house.

We both enjoyed the second season as much as we enjoyed Sonic the Hedgehog 2 [5] [24].

Would the end of a third season get Samuel-I-Amuel to try a roast turkey that is blue [4]?

If you prefer the first season, I have nothing against that loss

As I wait patiently for the eighth episode of Helluva Boss [13].

Green Eggs and Ham: The Second Serving has been a thrill to watch

As the quality in terms of animation and writing has been kept top-notch [37] [38].

I hope you enjoyed the second serving as much as I did, my friend [37] [38].
It was really worth the watch from the beginning to the end.
I know that the eggs and ham will always be green
As I continue to be a hellishly happy hazbean [2] [3].
More animated adventures await, including a space ranger’s beginning [22],
Along with what the hazbeans will see next if they keep on sinning [12] [13]. [19]
