Hey, Angela. Ready for our picnic? Whoa. Area ingredient overload. VENTING FLUID. [cough] I GOT THE CAKENATOR 5000. It's supposed to be the best in the world, but so far it's just yelling at me and making a mess. Well, it does look fancy. Kind of reminds me of when I bought a robot costume. Let me tell you a story. I was hosting a robot movie night at my place, and I wanted to make a costume for it. This could be so cool. Robot costumes are hard to make. I really wanted to impress everyone. So, I decided to buy the fanciest robot costume I could find instead.
It lit up, and it even had a thingy that made your voice sound like a robot. It was going to be so cool. This is going to be so cool. Back off, bot. What did YOU DO TO TOM? WAIT GUYS, IT'S COOL. IT'S ME. [screaming] LOOK. OH. OOPS. NO. GOING ON A RAMPAGE. Costume was too real. I couldn't get it off. How do I TURN OFF THIS VOICE BOX? It's over everyone. The robot has been destroyed.
Huh? I knew you could do it. Wow. I guess you would have had a better time if you hadn't bought the fanciest thing you could find. Warning. Unauthorized sprinkles. You know what, I can bake just fine without you. Good call. But actually, that thing might make a great robot helmet. ICE CREAM MAN. HURRY. HE'LL BE HERE ANY MINUTE. I'M going to get the orange soda sprinkle pop WITH EXTRA RAINBOW. OH. HER MONEY WENT IN THERE.
No ice cream today. But it's the ice cream man. We can't let this stop us. I can't put my hand in that. Well, then I probably can. I can't either. Aw. We're not losing this ice cream. You know, I dealt with something like this before. I was out back practicing my soccer skills when suddenly I would have gone in the mud to get my ball, but I was wearing brand new sneakers. So, I had to be clever. Oh, the ball in the mud is like our ice cream money IN THE TRASH. OH. THIS WAS BAD because this wasn't just mud. It was quick mud.
Quick mud? I've never heard of quick mud. Quick mud like quicksand but mud. Mm, okay. The quick mud tried to pull me under. I only HAD ONE CHANCE. HUH, YOU WANTED TO avoid getting muddy, but in order to get your ball back, you just had to deal with it. So, on the count of three, should we just deal with this? Right. Unless I did the mud thing. It's your turn. Three, TWO, ONE, GO! [screaming] I DID IT! LET'S GET THAT ICE CREAM. BUT FIRST, let's wash our hands.
It's a slow truck. We got time. Here we go. Oh. Hey, someone ordered a piano. Fancy. Fancy maybe, big and heavy for sure. need to get it up to my terrace before uh sunset. [panting] I'm streaming a live concert to celebrate getting this new piano. But I can't do that if I can't move this. Sounds like you need an extra pair of strong hands. Good thing I'm already dressed for a workout. We got this. Ew. Careful. It's not a sack of potatoes. If it was potatoes, IT WOULDN'T FIT. OH, LET'S TRY IT FROM ANOTHER ANGLE. YOU TURN IT LEFT. YES.
OKAY, other way. Up, up, UP. OH, NO, OKAY. OH, OTHER SIDE. YES. I'LL NEVER GET THIS UP in time. Hey, don't give up. There's got to be another way. But we've tried everything. Upside down, sideways, forwards, and backwards. No matter what we do, the piano doesn't fit through the door. Maybe You're right. Okay, I get it. If the piano won't go through the narrow door then we'll avoid the door entirely. READY? PULL! IT'S WORKING. THIS IS A LITTLE MORE WORK OUT THAN I WAS HOPING FOR. ANGELA. HUH? THANKS, but we still need a little more weight.
Oh, flower power. This next song is inspired by a friend of mine who reminded me that when things look impossible, they might be not so impossible. If bad plans ruin your day, just cast those plans away. Don't despair, breathe some air, and find another way. [snorts] Careful, piano coming through. Wow. Look at that thing. This is going to be the best birthday. Thanks, Tom. Thank the guy at the piñata store. I asked for the most ultimate piñata he had.
Stand back, everyone. Piñata pieces are about to be flying all over. Oh, man. I can't do it. And if this piñata won't pop, my party will flop. Don't worry. We'll crack it together. Come on, party people. WE GOT THIS. Maybe I should have asked for a not-so-ultimate piñata. [bell] What are we going to do? If we can't break this, we can't move on to the cake. He has a point, Tom. The party vibe really depends on us succeeding here.
Let me take a shot. I got this. That is one mean piñata. It's all right, Tom. Hey, your paper birthday crown. It got wet and ripped. Oh, that's just great. Yeah, it is great. I'm really great. We're not giving up. I know what we need to do. The piñata has beaten us so far, but every piñata has a weakness. Water. So, LET'S SOAK THIS THING. THE LAST ONE. HANK, THE HONOR IS YOURS. You got this, buddy. THANKS FOR NOT LETTING ME GIVE UP.
Don't mention it. But next year, I'll be sure to ask for a normal piñata. No, don't do that. I kind of want to try an even bigger challenge. Do they make double ultimate piñatas? Guess we better find out. Yeah. High five. Fear not, citizens. Thunder Tom and Captain Quack Storm are ON THE WAY. HEY, ANGELA. JUST PLAYING superheroes with Captain Quack Storm. That's good. Because I need a hero. Hm? I have a painting due in my art class tomorrow, and my model got sick.
Would you be my model, Tom? Please? An art model. If Thunder Tom can save the world, he can for sure save some art with a pose. EASY PEASY. WE GOT THIS. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP STILL. IT'LL MESS up my art if you move. Oops. Got it. I won't move a muscle. Uh, Tom, is everything okay? Yeah, yep. The pillow was it almost fell. Staying still. This itch is unbearable. Now, got to get my mind off of it. Think of something Kermit's strength, flight, wings, MOSQUITO WINGS. ITCHY.
[screaming] TOM, I'M SO SORRY. A mosquito bit me. It itches so much. This will stop the itch. You could have told me you needed help. I didn't want to let you down. And now I won't No more interruptions. Maybe I spoke too soon. RUN. NICE BRUSH BATTLING. I REALLY SHOULD HAVE ASKED YOU FOR help earlier. Speaking of, I could use some help right now. [screaming] Angela, GRAB YOUR PAINTBRUSH. THIS TIME I'M DEFINITELY NOT MOVING.
AW, sweet sparkles. I think this is my best work yet. Told you it'd be easy peasy. Can I get more of that bite cream? Can't really scratch in this position. I almost had him. He was just here. Who was just here? The opalescent caterpillar. It's the loveliest larva there is. It's the last photo I need for my insect journal. It's very rare. This could be my only chance to see it. Don't say that. You'll get another chance because I'm going to help you lure out this bug so you can take your photo.
Really? Thank you, Tom. But it's technically an insect, not a bug. It's about to be a photo. We got this. To catch a caterpillar, we need to think like a caterpillar. So, what do caterpillars like? Music? Tiny insect carnivals? STEP RIGHT UP TO TAKE A RIDE. Pairs of mini socks for all their little insect feet? How about leaves? They eat leaves. Why'd you make a leaf sandwich? Cuz a leaf hot dog would be ridiculous. Yes. COME ON. HEY, LEAVE HIM ALONE. WE NEED SOME KIND OF CATERPILLAR CATCHING DEVICE, but I don't have time to invent anything like that. Wait, I know.
Oh, no. The caterpillar decided to turn into a butterfly. I'm sorry. I guess we missed your chance after all. Actually, a picture of the caterpillar is one thing, but a picture of the caterpillar during a once-in-a-lifetime metamorphosis is even more rare. Fantastic. UNDERWATER HANDSTAND. WOO! Now you do one. No, I'm okay where I am. Sitting, watching, sighing. Uh what's the matter? You're missing out on some pretty great lake living. I don't want to go in the water, okay? I could step in slime, or I could get my ankle grabbed by a thing, or all sorts of nasty surprises.
[clears throat] I don't think there's any ankle grabbers here, but I did see something surprising once. Let me tell you a story. I was taking a shortcut home from the candy store When, all of a sudden, it was the biggest crab I'd ever seen. But, then I looked closer. The crab was stuck. I had to help it. Promise not to pinch me? The crab turned out to be really nice, and he liked jelly beans. If there was an enormous crab living in this lake, where did it go? Well, that new seafood restaurant opened down the street. They ate the crab? No, but they would have. That's why I needed to help him escape.
Did you hear? It is I think I saw him this way. Okay, Harold. I named him Harold, by the way. Are you ready? We are ready. HEY, OVER HERE! I HOPE YOU BROUGHT BUTTER! THAT'S THERE HE IS! WAIT. THERE'S ONLY PILLOWS, YOU DORK! MISDIRECT. I tricked the chefs, and we were free. Woo! WE DID IT! YEAH! WOOHOO! WE MADE IT TO THE OCEAN. THEN, IT was time to say goodbye to my new friend. So, you see, something strange in the lake might turn out to be a friend.
I guess my story convinced you. Well, I don't know if your story is entirely true, but it got me thinking. Could this lake really support a giant crab like Harold? I must investigate. Even if there's creepy ankle-grabbing things in there? Focus on the positive. There could be wonderful things to discover. Now, I need a mud sample. This calls for an UNDERWATER HANDSTAND. TOM, CHECK THIS OUT. TOM, TOM, LOOK. I FEEL THE MICRO organisms going up my nasal canal. Okay, Becca. I'm ready to see you shred some mega extreme knot.
Leave this skater talk to the pros, Tom. If I can nail this trick, I'll win the skate competition tomorrow, for sure. Are you okay? That looked bad. Oh, no. This was my lucky board. I do my best tricks with it. How am I supposed to compete without it? Oof. I know how you feel. Only for me, it wasn't a lucky skateboard. It was a lucky yo-yo. Let me tell you a story. With my lucky yo-yo, there was no trick I couldn't do. The Lindy Loop, the alley-oop, and the ice cream scoop. I was good. So good that I decided to
compete in the yo-yo masters. Wait. If you were some yo-yo pro, how come I've never seen you yo-yo, bro? Because I never yo-yoed again. Not after the accident. At the yo-yo masters, I was going to attempt the forbidden trick. A trick so complicated, nobody had ever pulled it off before. But, I had my lucky yo-yo. I was confident. Until Coming up next, we have Talking Tom performing the forbidden trick. I had to borrow a different yo-yo, and I could tell it didn't feel right. But, like a fool, I attempted the forbidden trick anyway.
I came to win that glorious trophy, but my mistake was about to destroy it. I had no choice but to use my yo-yo skills to try to help. So, I know how you feel about losing your lucky board. Without my lucky yo-yo, I almost wrecked that trophy. But, you didn't wreck the trophy. You saved it with a way cooler trick than you even planned. And you did all that without your lucky yo-yo. So, maybe I can win the skate competition without my lucky board. Uh yes, that was the point of my story. It's not about the skateboard, it's about the skateboarder. Exactly. I'm going to get a backup board and keep practicing. Thanks, Tom. That's the gnarly shredding spirit.
No skater, Tom.
