Dragonball Z

Tough call between Clinton and W., but as much as I HATE to admit it, the cartoons were SLIGHTLY better during the W. years (probably because the jokes were a LOT easier to come by!)

Knock Knock, Who's Danny Devito? ("Knock Knock, Who's There"?)

I'm calling Incidental 6, he's green, and other than Fred, he's had the most screen-time of any of the incidentals I've seen.

"Fangface" (a criminally under-rated Ruby-Spears cartoon series from 1978).

Happy Birthday, Bob Carotte, and anybody else having a birthday! Happy Birthday Cake!

A live album by Creedence Clearwater Revival called, "The Concert", a collection of songs originally recorded on January 31, 1970, at the Oakland Coliseum. Sounds pretty good, as to be expected by John Fogerty and company.

A $100, obviously, because it is LITERALLY worth 100 times MORE than a REGULAR $1 bill!

That fish is purple, and Rube is purple...maybe those two fish are related somehow! Hint hint, fanfic writers!

"Beetlejuice"

The Best of Three Dog Night. Specifically, "Eli's Coming."

They got their marshmallows, and there was MUCH rejoicing. (Flat joy) Yeah. They ate their marshmallows, and there was MUCH rejoicing. (Less of a flat joy) Yeah! (Imaginary Bonus Points if you know which movie I adapted the rejoicing lines from!)

I'm a discount Batman surfing on a surfboard, your argument is invalid.

This is the SECOND weirdest concept for a video game that I have ever seen!

So marshmallows are good for sleeping on, to?! Who knew?!

I know! He's the Spongebob Squarepants look-a-like who appeared in "No Weenies Allowed"! He has an Elvis Presley black hair-do, and is apparently tough enough to get into the Salty Spittoon!

Happy Birthday to me, Frosty, and anybody else having a birthday! Happy Birthday Cake! Spongebob: "Can you change it to say, 'Happy Birthday'?" Saleslady: "Do you want it or not? I haven't got all night." Spongebob: "Yeah, neither do I."

To quote The Rolling Stones from "Get Off Of My Cloud"; "Well, I guess I'm doing fine."

The 1967 Rolling Stones album, "Between The Buttons".

This is what fishing would look like, if the roles were reversed!

This is the SECOND laziest piece of animation that I have ever seen! You get THREE guesses as to what the FIRST one is, and the first two don't count!

...I think we're gonna need a BIGGER chocolate bar for THIS marshmallow!

Two things on my mind; first, how did a SHEEP get on a surfboard in the FIRST place?! And second, how did it get so GOOD at surfing?!

I'm sorry for the LONG, dry spell of this Club, but I have thought of a NEW topic to share with you! For the series of “Power Rangers Multiverse Force,” several writing tools have been used to make the stories be more interesting. The website TV Tropes, fittingly call them Tropes, and Tropes are Tools, as they are fond of saying. Here is a handful of Tropes that I have noticed that this series has used; followed by examples of when the Trope was used. If there are any more Tropes out there that I have happened to miss, please be sure to add it to this topic discussion! Valid, in universe examples ONLY; please and thank you! / http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AbsurdlySharpBlade : Both BlackHawk's Electric Sabre and the Power Sword of the Multi-Megazord count as this. Not only is BlackHawk able to beat Baphomet relatively EASILY with his sword; the Power Sword has been shown to be able, to take down nearly ANY enemy that comes across it's path! One time villain Mustang Sally tried to No Sell the Power Sword's ability with her tough hide, but the Rangers used the V Blast attack to give the Power Sword a SUPER charge (taken to eleven), and they were able to beat HER, to! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ActionGirl : Applies to Usagi, Ebony, and Undyne. Villain examples include Vipera, Scorpina (one time boss), Mirror, and Amazoness. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AloofAlly : BlackHawk, Bash, and Smash initially, started off as this. While BlackHawk was quicker to warm up to the main Rangers, eventually getting to the point where he BECAME a Ranger himself; Bash and Smash have been slower to become, proper allies. Justified for those two, however, as unlike BlackHawk and the Rangers, they don't have exceptional fighting skills or any special powers. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlwaysOnDuty : No matter what time of day, or where ever the Rangers are, they ALWAYS have to be prepared to jump into duty! Whether it's at night, whether it's at school, or whether they're going on a trip to help somebody! Sooner or later, someone ALWAYS sends a Monster of the Day that they have to fight and destroy! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AnAssKickingChristmas : The Rangers even managed to fight a monster around Christmas time, in “The Fight Before Christmas.” http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BeastInTheMaze : Subverted in the episode “Pump It Up,” because the Rangers actually had to FIND and BEAT Emperor Sphinx when he tried to trap them INSIDE of a maze, in order to ESCAPE from it! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BloodlessCarnage : Usually played STRAIGHT, most of the time! The battles the Power Rangers fight, usually end up with the monsters getting destroyed in this fashion. There have and CAN be EXCEPTIONS to this rule! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyguardBabes : Fuhrer Saturn's forces are comprised ENTIRELY of these! Most notably, Amazoness, Galaxy Lightning, and the Zero Girls! Queen Hedrian's servants, Keller and Mirror, can also count as this. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BondOneLiner : The Rangers will sometime use these after defeating a bad guy. One particularly famous example, is after defeating Monster of the Day Octhulu. Naruto says: “I know what we're having for dinner tonight; calamari!” http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BottledHeroicResolve : Used in “Orange Crush: Part II”. When the Rangers were getting worn down in their fight, Sans came along and gave them a special kind of Orange Crush, to bring them back to full fighting strength! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BreakTheBadass : The whole point of General Crush was to BREAK the Power Rangers and the forces that Emperor Diabolica and Queen Hedrian had, up to that point. Thankfully, BlackHawk managed to take a level in awesome just in time, and using his new found Ranger powers, managed to deal a non-fatal ending to General Crush by banishing him BACK into his own dimension! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CarnivalOfKillers : Invoked by Queen Hedrian when she unleashed her gauntlet, in a DESPERATE attempt to destroy the Rangers! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CurbStompBattle : While this usually applies to how the Rangers are able to beat all of the Monster's of the Day that they have to fight; the Rangers themselves ended up being on the receiving end of one during their fight against General Crush! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EducationThroughPyrotechnics : No matter where the Rangers go, or who they fight, ALWAYS expect a big explosion or several whenever they deal with a bad guy that they are fighting against! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FighterLaunchingSequence : Most battles against the Monster of the Day, usually climax with the zords being summoned and forming into the Multi-Megazord. While Transformation is USUALLY a Free Action, there HAVE been a FEW Monsters who were Genre Savvy enough to TRY to attack the zords BEFORE they can combine! Thankfully, Ebony and BlackHawk usually use their auxiliary zords to keep the monsters busy while the main zords form into the Multi-Megazord! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/INeedNoLadders : Applies to BlackHawk, as he can fly anywhere he wants to go to. Also applied to Baphomet, at least BEFORE he lost his wings! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IndyPloy : According to BlackHawk in “All is Fair, or Not!”; this is how the Rangers almost ALWAYS fights the bad guys, especially when they have to do it WITHOUT morphing and revealing their secret identities! / Sans asks: “How are you going to fight these guys?” BlackHawk says: “The same way we ALWAYS do; improvise our way out of it!” Ebony asks: “We do that?!” BlackHawk says: “Yes we do, ALL the time!” http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IneffectualDeathThreats : The Monster of the Day; or sometimes one of the main villains themselves; usually make death threats to the Rangers. As of episode 28, they have YET to actually be able to KILL someone important! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InnocuouslyImportantEpisode : “Pump It Up; The Fight Before Christmas; Origins; Virtual Insanity; Hot-Blooded;” and “Wooly Bully” all count as this; as either characters, elements, or important developments occur in these episode that end up having important ramifications in later episodes of the series. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InstrumentOfMurder : In “The Drums of War;” this trope ended up being the primary mode of attack for the two monsters in this episode, using drums as a method of attack! This even carried over into the Megazord fight, when the two monsters were magically combined into one! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JustBetweenYouAndMe : In “Virtual Insanity,” Vipera did this with the Power Rangers, when she told them how she had aspirations of using the Macguffin/ Chekhov's Gun, the Orange Ruby; for her OWN ends, rather than hand it over to her boss, Emperor Diabolica. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManOnFire : More like Monster on Fire, but it still counts. In “Hot-Blooded!;” Monster of the Day Magmanificent's entire premise was being a monster made out of hot lava! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MissionBriefing : Often, Omnus and Alpha 8 will inform the Rangers of the current threat that is threatening Coastal Falls or wherever the Rangers happen to be; and will even offer helpful advice to them over the communicators if they need it. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MonumentalDamage : Done by General Shogun in “Orange Crush: Part I”; he destroyed Devil's Tower in order to free the long dormant, Spinosaurus zord. Ends up counting as a “Nice Job of Fixing it, Villain!”; as the Spinosaurus zord ends up being the final piece NEEDED to complete the Velociraptor Multi-Ultrazord! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MostDefinitelyNotAccompanyingUs : BlackHawk attempted this with Bash and Smash in “All is Fair, or Not!”; but Bash and Smash did a No Sell of BlackHawk's explanation, and they ended up going with him anyways. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MyNameIsInigoMontoya : Often done by BlackHawk in his earlier appearances. This trait has lessened over time, however. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NiceJobFixingItVillain : In “Heightened Anxiety,” General Skeleton tried to defeat Lettuce by using his fear of fights, but ended up CURING it! / In “Orange Crush: Part I;” both General Shogun (and more successfully, Vipera), tried to use the Spinosaurus zord for their own evil ends; but by taking the zord to the battlefield of the city; it ends up making it easier for BlackHawk to change it's alliance from evil to good, and gain control over it with his new Ranger powers! / A darker example, Greater Scope Villain Radiguet has PURPOSELY set up two scenarios so far, for Emperor Diabolica's forces and Queen Hedrian's to undergo and fail! Although, this could have to do with Radiguet's philosophy that he's the Only One Allowed to Defeat the Rangers! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou : This is the personal philosophy of Emperor Diabolica and Queen Hedrian; that only THEIR forces are allowed to defeat all of the Power Rangers! More darkly, this is the philosophy of greater scope villain Radiguet, who is USING their various plots to break down a force field made of Applied Phlebotium; protecting Core Earth FROM Radiguet himself! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PunchPunchPunchUhOh : In “Orange Crush: Part I;” Drako's Monsters, Baphomet, Vipera, Mirror, and the Power Rangers (except for BlackHawk), all experience this when they try to fight General Crush, only for General Crush to No Sell all of their various attacks. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheRadioDiesFirst : It's actually an Intercom, but it still counts. In “Wooly Bully;” Demon King Banriki (possessing Woolbur Fleecely), shoots at the Intercom which is making an announcement. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ResignationsNotAccepted : An unwritten rule for the minions of Emperor Diabolica and Queen Hedrian. The only (accepted) way of getting out of working with them, is to meet your demise at the hands of the Power Rangers. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SaveTheVillain : More like spare the villain, but it still counts. In “Wild Horses,” after BlackHawk thoroughly trashes Baphomet and moves in to finish him, Baphomet BEGS to surrender, and pleads for BlackHawk to SPARE his life! BlackHawk reluctantly does so, but warns Baphomet to NOT go back on his word! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScrewThisImOuttaHere : Done by the Zero Girls, in “Wild Horses.” They flew the coop when they grew tired of having their butts handed to them by the Power Rangers! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SicEm : Pulled by Queen Hedrian in “Orange Crush: Part II”. No sooner do the Rangers finish taking care of General Crush, than does Queen Hedrian send 20 monsters AND General Shogun after the Rangers! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StealthHiBye : A villainous version is pulled by General Crush in “Orange Crush: Part I”. When Mirror POSES as General Crush, and brags about her strength, General Crush moves to her SO fast; that only BLACKHAWK is able to physically SEE, General Crush actually MOVING! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat : A running gag with Sans, is that he will often be working in a different job or skill, with little to no explanation as to how he GOT the job or knows the skills FOR the job; and it somehow USUALLY coincides with something the Rangers are concerned with, anyways! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SupernaturalMartialArts : Power Rangers BlackHawk, Naruto, and Usagi are able to fight with these types of skills; although BlackHawk seems to be the most proficient at it, having used these skills more often and with a greater degree of effectiveness. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheyHaveTheScent : One of the abilities that D.O.G., has, is his ability to smell when something is wrong with someone, or if something has a 'Stench' that 'Does not smell right.” http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnderestimatingBadassery : The common fate of the Monsters of the Day facing the Power Rangers. Surprisingly subverted by Greater Scope Villain Radiguet, who seems to actually be COUNTING on the Rangers to RUIN the plans of Emperor Diabolica and Queen Hedrian! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnstoppableRage : In “Orange Crush: Part I”; when BlackHawk first transforms into the Spinosaurus Orange Power Ranger, his power enabled him to fight General Crush and vanquish him easily! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeaponizedCar : In “Get Your Motor Running”; five of the Rangers get weaponized vehicles to help them take down some of the bad guys. The vehicles can even combine into a miniature Megazord to fire a super-powerful blast of energy! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MeaningfulName : Lettuce, Pinkie Pie, Ebony, BlackHawk, Vipera, Kraky, Demon King Banriki, Mirror, and General Shogun all have meaningful names, as well as MANY of the monsters that Emperor Diabolica and Queen Hedrian send after the Power Rangers. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RoyalBlood : Implied with Emperor Diabolica and Demon King Banriki; confirmed with Queen Hedrian, as she is the youngest daughter of Master Vile and the younger sister of the formerly evil Empress, Rita Repulsa. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SecretTestOfCharacter : It is revealed to BlackHawk by D.O.G., in “Virtual Insanity,” that the Orange Ruby is a Secret Test of Character. It only offers its TRUE strength to someone who is good and pure of heart. Anyone who is less than noble who tries to claim it, end up going mad with insanity, and driven to thoughts of greed and evil, in trying to keep the power of the Orange Ruby for themselves! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TruthInTelevision : At the end of “All is Fair, or Not!;” and “Wooly Bully;” the Power Rangers speak directly to the audience to talk about the truth of certain matters (in each case, eating healthy and bullying respectively), in order to provide the viewers with some truth in television. / I think that's good enough to start off with. I will probably come up with some more once I have the time! Enough said!

I've decided that the time is ripe to put some LIFE back into this club, so I'm going to review the best video games to ever come out for all of the various Nintendo Video Game systems, and I will do it chronologically, year by year! I'll start off with the year the first Nintendo Video Game system, the NES came out (which also happens to be the year I was born, 1985), and I will go up, year by year; until we get to the most recently completed year. If you want to comment on these games, please do so in a kind and courteous manner. Also note that this only refers to video games that I have actually played and beaten. So if you do not see a game that you think should be on this list, that's probably the reason why. Also, if a video game appears on a video game console that is NOT Nintendo, but can be accessed by a Virtual Console System, such as the Wii or the Nintendo 3DS, I'll count it as a game that can be on my list. Since there weren't a lot of games available in 1985 and 1986, I will combine the first two years together! With that lengthy explanation out of the way, we can get this show on the road! 1985 3. "Gradius" NES. This is a very challenging, side-scrolling, shoot them up video game! As can be expected from Konami, the controls, sound, and difficulty are all top-notch, and are still worthy of a video game player's time, even today! Try playing it on Virtual Console on the Nintendo 3DS, because the Restore Point option will certainly come in handy for this game! 2. "Ice Climber" NES. Unlike most platforming video games which encourage you to go both sideways or up and down, this is one where the goal is to go up, and ONLY up! Sounds pretty simple, but the more stages you get past, the harder it gets to keep completing them! This is definitely one video game where playing it via Virtual Console of the Nintendo 3DS comes in handy! If you want to see every single stage, than having the ability to MINIMIZE your dying via the Restore Point will save you a LOT of head-aches! 1. "Super Mario Bros." NES. It really should come as no surprise that this is the number one video game of the year; this video game SAVED the entire video game industry, by breathing new life into it! Many of the hooks found in video games, we take for granted today, but secret items, power-ups, multiple different stages, secret routes, and bonus areas were completely revolutionary back in 1985! And of course, everyone all over the world got introduced to the trademark skills of the Super Mario Bros. in this first game! That's why this game earns its rank at the very top for 1985! / 1986 3. "Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels" NES (Japan) While the game itself wouldn't appear on American shores until 1993, as part of "Super Mario All-Stars," since the original game version is now available on Wii Virtual Console, Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console, and Wii U Virtual Console, I'm counting it. While it has the same game mechanics as the original "Super Mario Bros.," this game is a LOT harder! There are now gusts of wind that you have to deal with; red piranha plants that DON'T hide in pipes if you're standing right next to it, or on top of it; bloopers that roam the sky instead of the water, poison mushrooms, and bonus areas that send you BACKWARDS through a stage, or warp areas that send you BACK to a level you have already beaten! And the only way to see Level 9, is to not take ANY Warp pipes to cut corners in the game. If you have the patience to beat this game, you can consider yourself a TRUE gamer! 2. "Donkey Kong Jr." NES While the game itself has been on the arcade floors since 1982, the game first appeared on the NES console in 1986. All of the graphics, sound effects, music, and challenge from the arcade original is fully present here, and this is so far, the ONLY time where Mario has ever genuinely BEEN the villain, as he has kidnapped Donkey Kong, and his son has to rescue him! Even though there are only four stages, you can play through them again and again, as long as your lives hold out! But every time you play through them, they get a little harder each time! Challenge yourself, and see how long YOU can last playing through this retro game! 1. "The Legend of Zelda" NES While a LOT of players take the "Save Game" feature for granted these days, the option to save and continue, didn't actually exist until THIS game came out on the NES! Even before you play this game, you can TELL it's going to be good, because Nintendo made the first run production cartridges of this game, LITERALLY made in gold! While this is an eight-bit cartridge game, the sense of adventure and challenge from the later games are completely present in this one! And there are plenty of hooks to be found, even in this first entry! Boomerangs, bombs, arrows, shield and armor upgrades, improved swords, heart containers, magic transportation, and hidden secrets where bonus rupees can be found! If there is one game that can define the eight bit era, this may be the game that does the best job of doing it! I highly recommend playing it! / That's it for 1985 and 1986! Stay tuned for next time when I review 1987! Enough said, true believers!

Former TV.com viewers/readers may remember me and my series of "Total Cartoon Island" from TV.com, and while I DID initially like posting my episodes on that website, the site on the "Spongebob Squarepants" forum topics has become a ghost town, and there's no thrill in posting there anymore. So I'm moving operations from TV.com to this website, but just so that potentially new readers/viewers aren't confused, instead of picking up from my newest episode, I feel that I should start at the beginning. Fortunately, in the spirit of "Dragonball GT," I've decided that in a special twist, I will gloss over the first 11 episodes of "Total Cartoon Island" via way of the recap episode of "Dragonball GT" called "A Grand Problem," where the beginning, not as exciting early episodes are condensed and therefore, made more exciting. This is a hybrid brand new/old recap episode of episodes I've already written, featuring the characters that have already left the game show and the challenges that have already occurred. This is an alternate way of presenting the events of Episode 11, as this recap episode will set up the action for all of the future episodes of my series to follow. Also, if I feel the need to, I may tweak some parts of some episodes in order to make certain characters more themselves and not parodies of "Total Drama" characters. Consider calling the following story idea: Episode 11 Redux! Edit Update: Starting after the "Total Cartoon Action" episode, "The Grand Finish! It's Not Over 'Til It's Over!"; the series will be upgraded from being rated General to being rated PG. Also, expect me to update some posts with some story ideas that have been previously lost, but shall now be "Re-discovered," and added back into the continuity with the new PG rating! (NOTE: TV series is rated TV-G, for General Audiences Everywhere for seasons one and two of the "Total Cartoon" series, TV series is rated TV-PG starting with the "Total Cartoon Action" Reunion special.) Edit Update: Topic is now OFFICIALLY called "Total Cartoon Paradise City!" "The Greatest Game Show On Earth!" Sniz is on the dock and says: "Welcome to a special recap episode of Total Cartoon Island, a cartoon reality game show featuring your favorite Nicktoons, especially characters from "Spongebob Squarepants." This game show started with 22 contestants split into two teams with 11 contestants for each team. Their goal is simple. The teams are competing against each other for a chance to win $150,000 in cash money, and lets face the facts; most of them will probably blow that money in the week. While the goal is simple, the obstacles put between the contestants and their chances to win the $150,000 are anything BUT easy! The two teams have to face hard challenges for invincibility, in order to avoid the elimination ceremony, and from walking the dreaded Dock of Shame. Already we've had 9 contestants eliminated, 2 contestants return, 1 contestant eliminated a SECOND time, and a NEW contestant join after the game had already started! But don't take MY word for it! Listen to the contestants themselves as they reminisce in this upcoming episode of "Total Cartoon Island!"" (Festive music plays and snow falls over the opening sequence for this Christmas episode only.) Camp Nickelodeon is all decorated for Christmas, as there are wreathes, ribbons, holly, angels, LED blinking lights, tinsel, popcorn string, mistletoe, ornaments, and snow as far as the eye can see. Sniz announces over the loudspeaker to wake all the campers up! Sniz says: "Listen up campers! Be sure to dress warm today! It's the season for giving and the giving will start in the cafeteria in 10 minutes! / I'm glad you're all here. I know you campers have some differences with each other, but I'm asking you to put that aside for now. Because this is going to be a happy challenge, especially for a bunch of lucky orphans! You see, Camp Nickelodeon believes in making dreams come true. And today, you'll be making 1,000 dreams come true. In this challenge, all you have to do is wrap up all the gifts in the cafeteria, and sort them out to where they are going. Then using the naughty or nice list, you'll have to determine whether someone deserves a gift, or if it should go to someone else. Whichever team does the best job overall wins invincibility for their team, as well as their favorite Christmas presents as a bonus! The losers will send someone home!" (Confessional) Ren says: "I was hoping for something special, but nobody sent ME a Christmas card this year! I almost wish that there were no holiday season! I already know I'm not the most popular cartoon around! Why does there have to be a holiday season to emphasize it? It could always be worse, though. I could've ended up like Roger Plotz." (Flashback.) Ren narrates: "It was the first challenge we had. We had to jump off a cliff into shark infested waters, than put together a good hot-tub. My team of the Screaming Cats did an excellent job of working together. But the Killer Beavers were another story. They sucked royally, and were originally considering sending either Treeflower of Chuckie Finster home. Until Roger Plotz opened his big mouth." (Roger: "I just don't get why we lost! I mean, THEIR team is the one with six girls! Everyone knows that boys are better and superior to girls. My dad says I should help out the girls, in case they can't keep up!") Ren says: "Needless to say, THAT comment didn't sit well with the female contestants on the Killer Beavers, and Roger Plotz was the first contestant sent packing." (End flashback.) Ren says: "To make a long story short, I'm sure glad I'm not THAT guy!" / Spongebob says: "I love the winter, because I can catch snowflakes on my tongue, and its fun! One thing that WASN'T fun though, was watching Helga G. Patacki lose." (Flashback.) Spongebob narrates: "After a grueling run and an intense eat-off, Sniz expected us to keep our will strong by NOT falling asleep. I didn't worry, because I thought our team could and WOULD dominate. Thankfully, my friend, my girl pal Sandy Cheeks with her brains and her endless wits, would see to it that our team was going to win no matter HOW tired any of us got. Even after I finally succumbed to slumber, Sandy Cheeks prevailed and we won another challenge. But there was trouble at the Killer Beavers campsite. Helga G. Patacki was freaking out about her cell phone missing, and she accused her teammates of stealing it. But as it turns out, Helga had actually dropped her cell phone at the camp site, and Angelica Pickles found it. While Helga admitted that she made a mistake, it didn't sit well with her teammates, and she became the second contestant eliminated. In the seventh episode, when we all had to face our worst fears, Helga tried to make a comeback as a contestant who had a chance to be reinstated as a prize for the winning team. She tried to intimidate her teammates into making SURE they won, but Reggie lost it for the Killer Beavers, so Helga was sent packing again with my best friend, Patrick Star." (End flashback.) Spongebob says: "I'll tell you one thing, it was a REAL shame to lose Patrick. I wonder if he's doing well at the place where the Boat of Losers ended up taking him?" / Jimmy says: "The snow needs sugar." / Treeflower says: "I actually think it is much too early. I NEVER eat DECEMBER snowflakes. I always wait until January." / Jimmy says: "Still, I think the snow looks all right to me." / Reggie says: "Incidentally, I know how Ren feels all about this Christmas business, Getting depressed and everything. It happens to me every year. I never get what I really want. I always get a lot of toys, or a bicycle or clothes, or something like that. What I really want is real estate. One thing I DON'T want is to see Daggett again! He was SO annoying, that I'm not even going to BOTHER flashing back to his elimination episode. The only good thing about that episode was that we got a new team-mate in Bunny." / Patty says: "I wonder if I can contact Santa Claus with this Confessional. I think that I'll try it! Dear Santa Claus, how have you been? Did you have a nice summer? How is your wife? I have been EXTRA good this year, so I have a long list of presents that I want. (Pulls out list) Please note the size and color of each gift, and send as many as possible. If it seems too complicated, make it easy on yourself and just send money, preferably in $10's and $20's. All I want is what I've got coming to me, like my boyfriend, Doug Funny. I lost him in the ninth episode after the Expression challenge where Doug was eliminated, and now I want Doug back. All I want is my fair share." / Norbert says: "Let's face it. We all know Christmas is a big commercial racket. It's run by the same people who promote Easter and St. Patrick's Day you know." / Lil says: "Do you know what would make this Christmas perfect? A great big shiny aluminum Christmas tree! Maybe painted pink! That would REALLY bring Christmas close to a person!" / Rocko says: "Australia is one of the few countries I know of where Christmas takes place during the summer. I wonder if that Aang guy from "Avatar, the Last Airbender" celebrates Christmas? He wasn't even on my team, but I think Angelica messed up his talent performance in the talent challenge in the fifth episode, leading to Aang's elimination. I'm keeping my eye on Angelica." / Suzie says: "Personally, I prefer to celebrate Kwanzaa myself. But Christmas is a good holiday to. Chuckie Finster would agree with me if he were still here, until he decided to be an attention hog liar and fake an injury in order to get out of the challenge. I'm glad we eliminated THAT jerk after the Skull Island challenge!" / Sandy says: "I've got a good feeling about this challenge. I think the Screaming Cat's can win this one. Now that Phoebe's Tiki Idol is no longer cursing our team to Phoebe's elimination in the Cooking challenge, there's nothing to stop the Screaming Cats from going all the way to the top!" / Stimpy says: "It's all about the magic! You've just got to believe in yourself and your team. And I believe in all of them! Even Ren! He might have been eliminated once, but I don't think he's going to get eliminated again!" (Flashback.) Stimpy Narrates: "Both teams had to compete in a baseball challenge. At first, things were looking good. The Killer Beavers had no sport talent save for Reggie and Otto Rocket, while Ren and I were dominating the game. But then Otto busted out a really TRICKY technique, and got their team back in the game! But it ended up being Jimmy Neutron who made the last out, causing our team to lose! Ren lost his patience and snapped at all of our teammates who didn't perform as well as Ren and myself. Of course, Ren realized he messed up and I tried to apologize on his behalf, but it wasn't enough at the time. Ren was voted off, but he finally got the opportunity to redeem himself in the seventh episode when we all faced our worst fears. Ren Hoek was to be the Screaming Cats prize as a contestant we could reinstate should our team win the challenge. Ren had learned to become a calm, nicer dog and was no longer freaking out as he had in that one unfortunate moment. With Ren's help, our team won the challenge, allowing Ren to get back in the game." (End flashback.) Stimpy says: "As long as Ren is on a team with me, I feel as though I can accomplish anything!" (End confessional) Sniz says: "Starting at 8 AM, you have 10 hours to do all the wrapping and sorting. I hope the best team wins this challenge. On your marks, get set, (Jingle!) go!" And the two teams begin their packing! Ren, Spongebob, Patty, Lil, Rocko, Suzie, Sandy, and Stimpy all turn out to be good gift wrappers, and they make good decisions about who should get the Christmas gifts! Jimmy and Bunny waste time with inventions that do more harm then good when wrapping the Christmas presents, Reggie's clumsiness slows down the wrapping of the Christmas gifts, Otto and Angelica don't even try, Treeflower and Norbert only do okay. So at 6 PM, it's time for Sniz to decide which team has done the better job. Sniz says: "The Screaming Cats, you win! You've wrapped 642 gifts and correctly sorted out gifts for 96% of them! Killer Beavers, you lose since you wrapped only 358 gifts and only correctly sorted out 32% of them. So one of you Killer Beavers will be HOME for Christmas!" / At the bonfire, the Killer Beavers are facing judgment. Sniz says: "In addition to getting a marshmallow, you will also get hot cocoa to enjoy for this Christmas vote-off. I've got 7 campers but only 6 marshmallows. When I call your name, come up to claim a marshmallow. The camper who doesn't receive a marshmallow must immediately go to the Dock of Shame, catch the Boat of Losers, and leave. And you can never come back, EVER! Rocko, Norbert, Treeflower, Reggie, Otto. Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the evening. (Dramatic music plays.) Jimmy. Sorry Bunny, it looks like you have to hop on the bunny trail back home." Bunny says: "I would've done SO much better if this was an Easter competition!" And he jumps to the Boat of Losers. Sniz says: "The rest of you are safe, for tonight." (Confessional) Otto says: "I don't wonder what Angelica is going to get for Christmas, I KNOW! She's going to get coal because she's been a MEAN little lady! There's no way that she's NOT on the Naughty list! At least I'm honest with others, so I think there's a good chance I could get something good this year. One can always hope." (End confessional) Episode Notes: The Screaming Cats win, and Bunny from "The Angry Beavers" is eliminated.
