"It's Meat-tastic!"

While the rest of the team tries to deal with an UFO that steals cows, Beast Boy finally cracks down and looks for a job to buy himself a moped, but the only place he can find work is a restaurant that serves nothing but meat (which disgusts him since he's a vegetarian.) Contains both the most absurd villain of the entire series, and possibly its most controversial moment as well as Cyborg ends up eating him!

Tropes:

• Action Prologue: The scene of the Titans fighting off aliens just before the opening counts as this.
• Alien Invasion
  • Easily-Thwarted Alien Invasion
• Anvilicious: Eating meat is BAD!!!
  • Space Whale Aesop
• BLAM Episode
• Broke Episode
• Everything's Better With Bob
• Hey, It's That Voice!: - Professor Utonium as Bob and Yakko as The Source!
• I'm a Humanitarian: Played with: Cyborg eats the alien, sentient tofu -by accident.
• New Job Episode
• Shout-Out: To Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
• Throw the Dog A Bone: Beast Boy finally gets his moped.
• What Could Have Been: The episode was born from two separate ideas; an alien invasion from Space Tofu and an episode where one of the Titans got a job. Among the concept art was Raven wearing a Hot-Dog-On-A-Stick uniform.
