Transcript

{Open: the Living Room. Jerry and SkullB are on the couch.}

SKULLB: Well, the polls are in. People don't like our humor.

JERRY: I thought we had good humor.

SKULLB: While we may have good humor, it seems people on the internet like dumb humor. Random humor, if you will.

JERRY: So... what?

SKULLB: So I've decided to make the show a little more Bonus Stage-ey!

JERRY: How would you do that?

{Jerry's head explodes.}

SKULLB: Like that!

{Cue theme song.}

{Cut back to the Living Room. Jerry walks back into the room.}

JERRY: Thank God that was just my stunt double.

SKULLB: Yeah, that idea was a bit stupid.

JERRY: Well, looks like we're starved for plot. Wonder what we do now?

{Cut: a dark room.}

?????? ???: Is it done yet?

?????????: Yes, Master. Introducing...

{A beam of light illuminates a large tube. Inside the tube is a red robot with a hammer and sickle.}

?????????: Robo-Communist!

?????? ???: Yes! It's complete! My masterpiece is... wait. Why did we make a Communist robot?

?????????: Don't ask me. I just built it.

?????? ???: Huh. Well whatever. It's capable of harm, isn't it?

????????: Well, he has a hammer and a sickle, so...

?????? ???: Perfect! Those fools will never see it coming!

?????????: Yeah... why are we targeting them again?

?????? ???: You know, Assistant, if you keep asking questions I'll have to shut you up. With a gun. That I have. I have one.

{Pause.}

?????? ???: Robo-Communist! Activate!

{The eyes of Robo-Communist glow yellow.}

ROBO-COMMUNIST: Yes, master.

?????? ???: Now then... head on over to Decentville and attack these three.

{The shadowy figure hands Robo-Communist a sheet of paper with SkullB's, Jerry's, and Casey's pictures on it.}

?????? ???: I trust you'll eliminate them?

ROBO-COMMUNIST: Anything for Mother Russia.

?????? ???: Good! Now quit "Stalin" and go!

ROBO-COMMUNIST: Ahahaha! I appreciate your humor! It reminds me of biting into turnip. Painful and unsatisfying!

{Cut: the Decentville Mall. Jerry, Casey and SkullB are walking around.}

CASEY: Is there not a prouder bastion of capitalism in this state than the mall?

SKULLB: ... Does anybody talk like that anymore? "Is there not"? Are you a member of the League of Villains or something?

CASEY: Shut up.

SKULLB: No, seriously, does anyb-

{Casey kicks SkullB.}

CASEY: Hey, I warned you.

JERRY: So why are we here again?

CASEY: I was going to splurge on whatever clothes I felt looked cute enough. I'm not gonna wear them, though.

JERRY: Wow. Whoever write this blows at writing for female characters.

{Cut: Zippy's studio.}

ZIPPY: ... What? I just animate.

{Cut: the Mall.}

JERRY: Okay, we need to stop that.

{Suddenly, a scream is heard.}

JERRY: What's happening now?

ROBO-COMMUNIST: {offscreen} Ahahaha! Taste the power of Mother Russia!

SKULLB: That stereotypical accent can mean only one thing...

{Pan and zoom to show Robo-Communist bashing tables at the food court with his hammer.}

SKULLB: ... Robo-Communist!

ROBO-COMMUNIST: Yes, that is right! I am here to destroy you and your capitalist way of life! Seeing you waste precious money on nothing but clothes and fattening foods makes my motherboard smoke with anger!

SKULLB: But... why us?

ROBO-COMMUNIST: Look, I do not pretend to know what my Master's wishes were. But I am here to destroy you, and that is that.

JERRY: Huh. So why a Communist robot?

ROBO-COMMUNIST: Need I remind you? I do not know why. But I digress. Prepare for death!

{Robo-Communist takes his sickle and tosses it like a boomerang at SkullB. He swiftly dodges and the sickle heads toward a nearby column. The column is sliced in half as it returns back to Robo-Communist. Robo-Communist catches the sickle and now grabs a hammer. He runs at Casey, hammer at the ready. Casey, thinking quickly, jumps on top of the now fallen column and then onto Robo-Communist's head. She covers his eyes with her hands.}

CASEY: Jerry! Grab something!

{Jerry nods as he runs towards a sports store. Robo-Communist starts rapidly spinning in an attempt to get Casey off. Eventually, Casey is thrown off of the robot and into the wall. She falls unconscious.}

SKULLB: Uh, Jerry? A little help?

JERRY: {offscreen} You got it!

{Jerry runs out of the sports store, holding a bag of baseballs.}

JERRY: Skully, take these and shoot them at him!

SKULLB: I could shoot him, too.

JERRY: Oh. Then do that!

{SkullB readies his SkullBeam.}

SKULLB: Keep him off me for a bit! I need to charge up!

JERRY: Oh, come on! I never had a good pitching arm...

SKULLB: JUST DO IT.

{Jerry grabs some balls and starts tossing them at Robo-Communist. A couple of them hit Robo-Communist, while others he bats away with his hammer. Eventually, Robo-Communist tires out.}

ROBO-COMMUNIST: Ugh... my circuits are shorting out...

JERRY: Now!

{SkullB fires a massive SkullBeam at Robo-Communist, who takes it in full. Robo-Communist starts to smoke and shake. He then explodes.}

SKULLB: I win! Do I get a power?

{A small text bubble appears above SkullB reading "YOU GET: C. SICKLE". SkullB turns red.}

SKULLB: Nice.

JERRY: Casey! Are you okay?

{Jerry takes her pulse.}

JERRY: Oh, she just fell unconscious. Thank goodness.

SKULLB: Let's go home, why not?

JERRY: Okay. You carry Casey.

{Cut: the Living Room. Jerry, Casey and SkullB are on the couch. Casey is still unconscious.}

JERRY: Well. That certainly was an odd fight.

SKULLB: We should be thankful that nobody died.

{Casey wakes up.}

CASEY: Oof, my head... what happened?

SKULLB: You were thrown into a wall.

CASEY: Oh.

JERRY: Are you alright?

CASEY: I'm fine. I don't remember math, though.

JERRY: Don't worry. You don't need math.

{Cut: the dark room from before.}

?????? ???: ... Wait, what? WHAT? No! Aww, come on! This shouldn't have... what? Yes, it is running... HEY! You sons of...

{The figure hangs up.}

?????? ???: Why do all of my field agents like phone pranks? Whatever. Assistant!

?????????: Yes, Master?

?????? ???: Get to work on my newest robot! I'm sure that those fools will be no match... for Monsieur Mort!

{A tube lights up, showing a robot mime.}

?????? ???: No, wait. That's a terrible idea.

{Cue credits.}
