The Loud House

Poo-poo.

all: Hey! Let's hear it

for some Kangaroo spirit!

Together we can't lose, so goooo Kangaroos!

Nice work, everyone. Take a knee.

- Uh, but-- - You're excused, Paula.

Hey. What's going on, Coach?

I was just getting warmed up.

Listen up. Two things.

First, this is Hans, my massage therapist.

My name is Dennis.

- Hans will be with us for the rest of the season.

My chiropractor says I carry

a lot of stress in my shoulders.

Ahh.

Secondly, there was a slight mix-up.

Instead of ordering a kangaroo mascot costume,

someone ordered a real live kangaroo.

- It was you. - Zip it, Hans!

Kids, meet Crikey.

Can someone please sign for this thing?

- Apparently, he likes energy drinks, kickboxing,

and team spirit.

Any questions?

Moving on.

Our first game of the season is this Friday

at Hazeltucky Middle.

Hazeltucky's going down.

Save it for the game, Loud.

Now, since we need room on the bus

for Hans and my massage chair,

three of you lucky ducks get a ride in the VIP section.

It's a cattle trailer

attached to the bus with Crikey inside.

- Hans, you're working my last nerve here,

and not in the right way.

Ahh.

Now, let's see here.

You three. -

Congratulations.

- Aww, come on. I can't believe this.

Basketball players shouldn't be stuck in the trailer.

If anything, the cheerleaders should be back there.

all:

What's that supposed to mean?

Back up off our scene.

- It's just, without the basketball team,

you and your squad wouldn't have anything to cheer for.

Yeah, no offense,

but you're more like support staff

for us real athletes.

Oh, please.

Cheerleading is harder than basketball.

We practice way more than you guys

and have competitions year-round.

If anything, we're the real athletes.

There's no way you could do what we do.

Uh-huh. all: Okay.

You wouldn't last a day.

Yeah, right.

We could cheer circles around you guys.

Is that a challenge?

Well, then how about we have a little cheer-off?

Oh, you're on.

Oh, and let's make it interesting, shall we?

Winners get to ride in the bus.

Losers ride with Crikey--

for the whole season.

Ow!

Once he starts jumping, he doesn't stop!

Ooh.

all: Oh, yeah. We're in.

Sit back and watch us win.

- Whew. I'm glad you got that worked out.

Oh, I was talking to Hans about the knot in my shoulder.

But your thing too.

- All right, this cheer practice

should be a snap.

- No doubt. We'll be done before lunch.

What should we do first?

Hmm.

Cheerleaders are always

tossing each other in the air, right?

You ready?

Alley-oop!

Oops.

I might have put a bit too much strength in that toss.

My azaleas!

My sciatica.

My bad!

Must have had too much protein this morning.

My sister Lucy's great at words,

so I got her to write a cheer for us.

all: Eye of newt. Fur of pup.

Bring us together and raise us up.

- Uh, I don't think that was a cheer.

It sounded more like a spell.

all: Whoa!

Dang it! Lucy!

Cheerleaders do pyramids and junk,

so I guess we should try that.

Paula, help me lift.

I don't like being up here.

- Ugh. It's better than being down here.

I mean, I'm carrying all the weight.

Paula.

It's not my fault.

I'm working with one arm and one leg over here.

- Can you two stop arguing and let me do--

- Ugh. I just don't understand.

Cheerleading's not hard. Why can't we nail it?

If we don't figure this out,

we're gonna be in that trailer with Crikey.

- So I bit right into it. Turns out, it wasn't an apple.

Oh, hi, girls!

Why so glum, sugar plums?

- We made a bet we could cheerlead,

but we can't get the hang of it.

Now we're gonna end up in a trailer with a kangaroo.

Been there, done that.

Not fun.

- Well, lucky for y'all, you're in the presence

of the one and only Split Sisters!

Back in our day, we were co-captains of the cheer squad.

Why don't we help y'all out?

- Really? - Why, sure, honey biscuit.

We could be y'all's coaches.

both: Ready! Okay!

Split Sisters save the day!

Whoo-hoo!

- Okay, pickle spears, watch and learn.

Hit it, Meryl!

[upbeat electronic music playing]

both:

Whoo!

Split!

Sisters!

all: Wow.

That was amazing!

That was awesome.

- That was exactly the kind of routine

we need to win the cheer-off.

Can you teach us those moves?

Sure thing, chicken wing.

But first, y'all need to start with the basics.

So listen up.

- There are three pillars of cheerleading:

strength, spirit, and teamwork.

- Once you know the pillars like the bottom of your boot,

then you'll be ready for our sweeter-than-iced-tea moves.

First up, strength.

A cheerleader's gotta be as strong as a bull moose

when she's throwing,

but gentle as a baby kitty when she's catching, m'kay?

- You're gonna practice with these sacks of horse manure.

Trust us, you do not wanna drop one of these.

It breaks open, we are in stinky doo-doo town.

both: On your marks, get set,

catch and toss!

- Hey, I'm getting the hang of this!

We're doing it!

Great job, girls.

Aww, yeah. Nailed it!

Oh, my.

Maybe we should have used bags of potatoes instead.

Okay, girls, pillar number two is spirit.

We are here so you can learn how to cheer on someone

in any situation.

both: Now watch the masters.

Go, Walter! You're fantastic!

You can use paper or plastic!

Grocery shopping ain't a drag,

'cause Walter's got it in the bag!

Go Walter!

Whoo-hoo! Yay me!

I can do this all day now.

Now you try.

Hmm.

Yay Grouse!

He left the house!

He's buying meat and can't be beat!

Go Grouse! - Thanks.

I've never been so jazzed to pick out rib eyes before.

Yay Dan!
