Henry and June welcome everyone to another "sinus-draining" episode of KaBlam!. A man laughs at the joke, while Henry wonders who in "kablam's name" is that. June explains it's Jimmy McGee, their new sidekick, because the network thought he might help her and Henry spice up the show. Henry asks since when does the show need to be "spiced up" but June, despite not intending offense, thinks his side of the panel could sure use a little flavor. Jimmy approves of her zesty zinger, as Henry pouts. June tells him to take a chill pill, since the more Jimmy laughs, the funnier people will think they are. Henry likes where June is going there; after all, everyone knows how much help she needs in the laughs department. Jimmy isn't amused, and Henry grits his teeth in annoyance. While Henry looks for zestier zingers, June recommends everyone look at something they call Action League Now!. |
Action League Now! | |
|
Hit of Horror At Arcade Park, a group of boys play basketball while listening to some music on the radio. Meltman passes by in the midst of a vital mission, trying to remember the Chief's donut order; if it was four glazed and two powdered, or four powdered and two glazed. The boys see Meltman and say hi to him, who greets them back and thinks that is what makes it all worthwhile, the love of the people. Suddenly, the music changes, which hypnotizes two of the boys and they beat Meltman up with the basketball hoop. Hodge Podge says that was their new smash hit at K-Podge, and under his alias DJ H.P., he gives a shoutout to all his friends in the Action League, as the little tune is going to rock their world! At Action Headquarters, the League is deeply dismayed by Meltman's mysterious mauling, because thanks to their "big baby," they don't have any donuts! Thundergirl says that she, the Flesh, and Stinky Diver will get them instead. Meltman warns them not to go, as it's dangerous out there, but Stinky doesn't believe him. Moments later, the Flesh, Thundergirl, and Stinky pass by Mr. Farmer and his family, who listen to some country music on their radio. Mr. Farmer says hello to them, and the Flesh says hi back. Stinky and Thundergirl think that the farmers love them and Meltman was being a wimp after all. Suddenly, the same song from earlier plays again and hypnotizes Mr. Farmer and his family into beating up the League. When the Flesh, Thundergirl, and Stinky (who all have garden tools jammed into them) return to Action Headquarters, Meltman tries to say he told them so, but the Chief quiets him, as no one must leave until they find out what's going on, and it just isn't safe. Just then, the League is told from the radio that it is safe for them to leave, and Radio K-Podge is sponsoring a big appreciation rally for them. While the League collects kudos, Bill the Lab Guy makes a disturbing discovery with the song. The Chief likes it, wondering if Bill is going to ask him to dance or if he's going to stand here all night. Bill says he'll take a rain check and then plays the song backwards, revealing Hodge Podge's subliminal message; to crush the "action jerks," as they ruined his life, so now their fans must destroy them, too! Bill is about to tell the Chief the bad news, but the Chief already knows there's nothing Bill can do and is right. However, he says there is somebody to call. At the appreciation rally, many townspeople have gathered around, telling the League how much they love them. Stinky is glad for a little recognition, but then Hodge Podge appears and plays his song, which hypnotizes the townspeople into crushing the action jerks. Stinky thinks they're quite fickle, as the townspeople throw tomatoes at the League and even knock over the table they're standing on. The Flesh wonders if it was something he said, as Meltman tells them to run! However, it's no use, as they're surrounded by the hypnotized townspeople. Hodge Podge is satisfied that his evil plan is going exactly as he hoped, while the League discovers that he is behind it! |
Henry and June Act 2 | |
|
June thinks Action League Now! is suspense, and if she had a seat, she would be sitting on the edge of it. Jimmy couldn't agree more, it's "comedy with a capital K!" Henry then struts on set, asking if June and Jimmy want comedy, then they should watch and learn. June tells the viewers to bare with them, as Henry is trying to prove he's funny, hence his Gallagher getup. Henry points out a honeydew melon and it's a good thing he brought a comically-large mallet, smashing the melon with it. However, June and Jimmy aren't impressed. June tells Henry that "mallet + melon ≠ comedy," but rather "mallet + watermelon," smashing the watermelon as Jimmy is entertained and says it was well struck! June says it's simple addition, just like the next cartoon, "caveman + alien = hilarity!", as Jimmy eats some of the watermelon and turns the page to Prometheus and Bob. |

Tape #205, Laundry Prometheus shows his pajamas to Bob, before soaking them in a hot spring and rubs it on a washboard. Prometheus asks for Bob's garment, but he decides to jump in the hot spring to relax, and then removes his garment, throwing it at Monkey. Next, Bob is still in the hot spring relaxing, before grabbing Prometheus and putting him in it, while Monkey is washing Bob's garment. Then, Prometheus and Bob are still in the hot spring, before Prometheus hands over his jacket to Monkey, asking him to wash it, but he walks off in refusal. Prometheus forgets about Monkey, as he decides to relax. Suddenly, Bob points out a saucer approaching them as Prometheus dips under the water in the hot spring to hide, using a plastic straw as a snorkel. The saucer opens up and it is his superior, the Overlord. Bob tries to stall him, but he grabs the straw Prometheus was using to hide under the water with. Prometheus comes up for air, and the Overlord is not happy that he isn't teaching. Monkey, dressed in Prometheus's jacket, grabs a towel and whips the Overlord with it, sending him back to his saucer which takes off! However, the Overlord's saucer fires a laser that evaporates the hot spring's water, and Prometheus hurls his remote control at the camera, destroying it. |

Hit of Horror While Bill the Lab Guy calls an old friend of his, Hodge Podge asks the Action League how they like his new song, backing them into a corner. However, just as the League is about to be beaten up by the townspeople, the Chief and Bill ride through in a van, knocking Hodge Podge into a speaker. Bill implores the townspeople to put their hands together for his close personal friend, Lou Rawls, as it hypnotizes the people into loving the League! One man asks for a big hug, but Stinky Diver warns him not to push his luck. The Flesh says the townspeople love them...maybe too much, as he loses his arms from two ladies, while one man boasts that he got Thundergirl's leg. |

June tells Jimmy just between them and 90 million basic cable subscribers, this episode of KaBlam! might be one of their "kablammiest." Jimmy agrees, giving it four stars! Henry walks in with a briefcase, and asks June why would Jimmy be laughing at her lame jokes and not his killer material. Suddenly, it hits him, thinking June has paid Jimmy off! She scoffs, and says he wishes, as Jimmy does indeed. Henry says two can play at this game, as he opens the briefcase and sets some of the cash in Mr. Foot's lap, who is excited and stuffs some of it away. Henry tries to tell Mr. Foot a knock-knock joke, but he punches him across the set. June tells Jimmy a knock-knock joke. Who's there? Not Henry; and Jimmy says it would appear not! June will tell the viewers who is here, Life with Loopy! |
Life with Loopy | |
|
"In the Doghouse" Larry shows the backyard; peaceful, calm and a slice of suburban paradise. But it wasn't always that way, as evil once lurked behind the fence, and it had a name; Seymour! Larry says they have actually never seen the hideous hound but have lost more balls over the fence than an outfielder in Yankee Stadium. So the day that Loopy decided to test out her brand new, aerodynamically-engineered fluorescent flying disc, Larry smelled tragedy on the horizon. Loopy throws to Larry, but he misses the catch and it sails over the fence, saluting it and says that's another victim for Seymour. However, Loopy thinks that mangy mutt isn't getting it without a fight! Hopping over the fence, she doesn't find Seymour, but does see her flying disc in front of the doghouse. Going in to retrieve it, an alarm sounds and Seymour encounters Loopy, telling her she's trespassing on private property! According to his Guard Dog Manual, any object landing within a guard dog's protected zone is to be confiscated by said guard dog. Loopy tries to get out of the situation, but to no avail, as Seymour orders her to move! Loopy thinks it's a nice place, and wonders what he does for fun around it. Seymour says he does nothing, as the manual says no fun while on duty, and he's always on duty! Locked away in prison, Loopy finds two cellmates, Myron Wimplemeyer and Gus Gopher. Loopy suggests Gus could tunnel his way out of the cell, but he says it's steel plating and would need titanium claws to dig through it. Loopy thinks they may not need to dig through it after all, as she finds various junk in her pocket and crafts a screwdriver to open up a panel of the steel floor. Gus digs a tunnel, and Myron is tasked with putting his merit badges to work. Myron says according to his calculations, if they dig 50 feet in a northeasterly direction then head to the surface at a 47 degree angle, they should come out exactly in the center of Loopy's backyard. Gus says he's almost at the surface and can hear snoring! Loopy explains that's her dad taking his afternoon nap, and as she, Myron and Gus open up a panel of the steel floor, they realize they woke up a sleeping Seymour. He chases them, as Loopy tells Myron and Gus to go ahead, as she'll create a diversion with her flying disc, playing fetch with Seymour. On the top of the fence, Loopy calls to Seymour, who is upset that his prisoners escaped and has failed in his duty, calling himself a disgrace to the guard dog profession. Loopy tells Seymour there are more important things than guarding a patch of dirt, having fun as example. Seymour admits fetching the flying disc was fun, and Loopy thinks there's hope for him! Larry says that was the last they ever saw of Seymour, who the very next day packed his "doggie bags" and moved to California. Unfortunately, there is a new terror working behind the fence, and it just so happens to be Myron, as he shows off his new neighborhood security merit badge and confiscates a basketball. |

While June and Jimmy are still getting along, Henry welcomes everyone back to KaBlam!, where he's about as funny as a canker sore. Henry's mom walks into the studio and says that was very humorous! Henry wonders what she is doing here, and Lois explains that she was home, watching the show like she always does, but thought that she should be his sidekick. Jimmy and June try to keep from laughing, while Lois tells Henry it will be fun, and she helps him stand up straight since no one thinks a "sloucher" is funny. Jimmy and June can't help but burst into laughter, as Lois says they think Henry is funnier already, but he says they're laughing AT him. Lois wonders why would they being doing that, and Jimmy says it's because he's a yutz. Lois takes offense and doesn't like Jimmy's manners! While everyone works out their creative differences, June turns the page to a musical interlude from Jimminy Kroekel. |

Henry and June realize that their sidekick idea isn't working out too well, while Lois tries to convince Jimmy her son is very funny, but he says looks aren't everything. Lois and Jimmy then get into a fight, as Henry tells June she DID say the network wanted to spice up the show. June laughs and thinks that was a good one. Getting an idea, she wants to be his sidekick, and Henry says only if he can be hers. They have a deal, as Henry lets out an "AH-OOGA!" in excitement, before he and June leap to avoid Lois and Jimmy rolling across the set.
