Ditch Perfect

Coming up next on "Cupcake Island,"

the contestants fight off a tiger

with just a tube of frosting.

Oh!

We're eating cupcakes while watching cupcakes.

- That's called winning the game of life, honey.

- Oh, hey, kids. Do you want some cupcakes?

Put those away.

Max and I gave up desserts

in order to get in peak physical form to make the Z Force.

They don't want cupcakes?

Is it too late to have more kids?

Yes!

- Why would we need cupcakes when we've got rice cakes?

Mm! Gross.

Alert! Alert!

Incoming transmission from Super President Kickbutt.

- Thundermans, I have a very special assignment for Max.

For Max?

What, are you guys testing out

some new sort of super hairspray?

- We'd like you to speak to some troubled youths

at the Metroburg Juvenile Detention Center.

- Oh, Max, remember that summer you spent there

while the rest of us-- Unh-unh.

- --didn't go on vacation to Hawaii?

You guys went where?

- President Kickbutt is talking.

As a reformed supervillain,

we think you'd be a perfect role model

to help the kids turn over a new cape.

Me? A role model?

I mean, fashion model, sure.

- - No filter needed.

- Are you going to do it or not?

Uh...yeah, I'll do it.

But only if they name a sandwich after me in the cafeteria.

- Fine. You can have the chopped liver and onions.

Yes!

- Super President Kickbutt, out!

The Maximus O. Thunderman liver and onion sandwich.

Every time they puke,

they'll think of this guy.

- Well, what do you think about that, Barb?

Max is goin' back to super juvie.

Yeah.

This time we can tell people about it.

- This is so much better than the last time I was there.

I mean, the only people they had come talk to us

were a couple of lame supes.

- Didn't they send Mom and Dad? - Yeah, it was the worst.

¶

- Nora, there's bedbugs on the couch!

Save some for me.

- - All right, triple bug bonus!

- A cockroach crawled under the lamp.

Cockroaches?!

Kids, pack your bags! We're moving!

Evil Super Cockroach is back?

You ate my sidekick, but you won't eat my family!

- We're just playing Super Bug Blitz.

Can you just stop being old?

I knew that.

Stop being so old, Barb.

Kids, look at this mess.

You can't tear up the whole house for a video game.

- We didn't tear up the whole house.

- Yeah, we haven't even been near the bathroom.

The bathroom!

Jackpot.

- -

- Okay, they have a problem.

Take that, spider! - Look at Chloe.

Where'd you get that phone?

Uh...I love you?

¶

Phoebe-e-e-e-e!

Oh, Phoebe, hi. What brings you by?

- 'Cause for the past 20 minutes,

you've been screaming "Phoebe-e-e!"

- Well, since you're here, do you mind cutting my nails?

They could use a trim.

- Ugh! No, I'm not touching those.

Then I'll just do this.

- Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll cut them.

- I just need them short enough so I can hit that button.

"Top Secret Party." Colosso, what is this?

- Don't touch it. You're not invited.

- You made a "Welcome Back To Being Evil" banner for Max?

- That banner could be for anybody.

- What makes you think he's gonna go back to being evil?

- Hanging with those pint-sized villains today

will remind him how much fun it was to be a bad guy.

You know, before you ruined him?

- Aren't you a pint-sized villain?

- I'm fun-sized. It's different.

The point is he'll be back to the old Max in no time.

- No way. Max gave up evil.

When Max gives something up, it's for good.

- Oh, like he gave up sweets?

Well, feast your eyes on the security monitors.

This was taken this morning,

before he left for Metroburg.

What? Uh...

It can't be.

- And look what happens next.

- Oh, come-- no, Max, not the trash.

No, don't eat it.

What the-- Don't! Don't! Aww...

How am I the single one?

Told ya.

He couldn't resist those cupcakes.

And he won't be able to resist being evil again.

I guess I was wrong.

- Heh. Maybe you should push that button one more time.

- You were wrong.

Hey. -

Little Max Thunderman.

As I live and breathe.

Officer Bosco!

- Ooh, I still can't believe you're the same boy

who started the puddin' rebellion.

Uh, what was that slogan?

- "We're not puddin' up with this."

That's the one.

- Ha! -

You'd better be careful in there.

This crop of delinquents is as bad as they come.

Not for long.

I'm here to be a good influence on them.

Ugh.

It feels weird to say that out loud.

- The kids are right through that thundertanium door.

- We had to upgrade the security systems

since somebody escaped three times.

Ah...

I was so good at being bad. -

Well, now, nobody gets in or out without my knowing.

- - Hey, there.

Oh! What the--

How'd you get past the security system?

- Oh, I'm the official Hero League protector.

I have access to every code in Metroburg.

It's a perk.

I also give free jelly jams.

Ooh, I like you.

- Phoebe, what are you doing here?

- Well, President Kickbutt wanted me

to come watch you change some lives.

I don't mind. Do you? 'Cause she didn't mind.

Do you mind? - I don't mind.

- I have my talk all planned out.

And you can't be here, throwing around your pointy elbows.

- Look, don't make her leave.

She might take the jelly jams.

You want one?

Max wouldn't eat those. He's given up sweets.

And when he gives something up, it's for good.

Right, Max?

- Back up. Why are you so close to me?

Before you go in there,

you've gotta put on these power zappers.

No superpowers allowed in the detention center.

Wait.

There's something very important I need to do first.

Ow! Ow! Ow!

- Classic Max.

- Ha ha! I knew you'd like that.

¶

- President Kickbutt, our phones are missing.

Send in the Z Force.

- The Z Force is at the center of the Earth

fighting a giant radioactive worm.

Good! They're not busy.

I am.

Stop calling me.

- Kids, we have your phones.

Oh, good.

We'd better warm up our squishing fingers.
