He remains calm even after being sidetracked to the point of having to break out of jail (twice!) and repair a spaceship in orbit, but when Bloo has the audacity to stomp the bowl of chips Wilt brought him into the carpet because they aren't salt and vinegar flavored, Wilt finally [[Rant-Inducing Slight|snaps and shouts "no" over and over again]] until he's exhausted.
