In the season 5 episode 9 of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy titled My Fair Mandy, Mandy suddenly becomes obsessed with being popular after seeing a group of popular girls at school. Realizing that popularity is everything in high school, Mandy sets her sights on becoming the most popular girl in school, but finds herself struggling to fit in with the popular crowd.
With the help of Grim and Billy, Mandy decides to go through a complete transformation, both internally and externally. She starts dressing differently, changes her hair, and even tries to change her personality to fit in with the popular kids. However, when she finally makes it into the popular group, Mandy realizes that she doesn't really like the people she's surrounded by and that her new friends are actually quite boring and shallow.
As the episode progresses, Mandy begins to feel conflicted about whether being popular is really worth sacrificing her true personality and values. She starts to miss her old self and realizes that she was much happier when she was herself, with her own set of friends who accepted her for who she was.
Overall, the episode showcases the importance of staying true to oneself and not compromising one's identity in order to fit in with a certain group. It also touches upon the idea that popularity isn't everything and that it's more important to have genuine connections with those around you, rather than focusing on superficial things like status and popularity. In typical Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy fashion, the episode delivers these themes through plenty of humor and absurdity, making it a fun and memorable addition to the series.
