The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants

This is George Beard and Harold Hutchins.

George is the kid on the left with the tie and the flattop.

Harold is the one on the right with the T-shirt and the bad haircut.

-Remember that now. -He's got porcelain armor

and a score to settle. You have it?

-Almost! -Do you have it?

-Yes! -Show me!

Dun-dun-dun-dun!

- Colonel Urinal! - Yes!

I love you, Colonel Urinal.

Hey, George, is your butt wet?

Oh, no. We sat in chocolate pudding.

This is not good, not good.

Let's get out of here before anyone...

Guys, Ted Turdsly!

George and Harold are the new Ted Turdslys!

No!

I can't believe we're the new Ted Turdslys. Our lives are over.

Who or what is "Ted Turdsly"?

It's the humiliating nickname given any kid at Jerome Horwitz

who gets pudding on their pants.

No one knows how it began,

but everyone knows it's a death sentence, without death.

Even Principal Krupp gleefully joined in.

I understand we have a new Ted Turdsly.

I demand you identify the Ted Turdsly.

Oh.

Let me get a picture!

-I mean, that's just... -So wrong...

-Can't even... -Yeah.

Let me get...

Look at your pants!

-I don't want that humiliation. -We gotta get out of town.

Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. We don't care what people think about us.

Yeah, you're right. You know what?

Let's get out there and own this. We'll be Ted Turdsly with capital Ts.

Yeah. Right after we wash our pants

-and deny it ever happened. -Exactly.

This is Theodore Murdsly, the school's lavatory salesman.

He sells things like soap, urinal cakes,

and, of course, toilet paper.

Hear about George and Harold? I wouldn't trade places with them

for 100 gold doubloons and a dragon slayer sword of ice.

Did I invite you to speak, bit player? Begone!

But they're the new Ted Turdslys.

Mmm.

Ah, chili.

I hear you've--

I hear you've suspended all toilet paper deliveries.

Any reason?

A very good reason.

Mr. Krupp blew the school's annual toilet paper budget

trying to impress Ms. Yewh, remember?

We're BYOTP now. Or whatever is handy.

Wake up! You're in over your head.

-Why? -It's Chili Wednesday.

This is our new line of flushable wipes.

They're a real game changer.

Sounds expensive. Hard pass.

-Incredibly absorbent. -No dice!

-They're free! -Nothing in life's free. Case closed!

Uh...

You'll excuse me. Chili.

Open, open, open!

Make way!

Why won't this pudding come out?

Hold it still.

Went better in my head.

There's gotta be something down here we can wear. Uh, come on.

Bingo! Jackpot! X marks the spot!

-I found a book of clichés. -Hey! Old unicorns?

Back in my day...

"Uniforms," buddy. "Uniforms."

Don't think there's any other way to say this. We look amazing.

Like mavericks who never sat in pudding.

That's right. We're cool.

-Not Ted Turdsly. -Deal with it.

Hey, Gooch, must've heard wrong. No Ted Turdslys here.

Who are you guys? I'm just gonna keep walking

and not wait for an answer to that 'cause I'm confused.

Weird. Guess he can't handle how comfortable we are in our own skin.

Don't even try it, Melvin. We're cool and we are loving it.

-Melvin? Who? Mel-- Mel-who? -Whoa.

Weird. It's like they don't remember anything.

Like... Like they lost their memory.

"You are kind, generous and thoughtful." Okay.

I'm Kind, you're Generous and you're Thoughtful. Cool names. Cha!

"Join the whale wishers." Okay. Let's go save the whales.

Everyone has lost their memory.

Like that movie, Everyone's Lost Their Memory.

A world where everyone's lost their memory...

-Huh? -What?

- I love that. - You two!

Krupp will remember. His dislike for us burns eternal, like the sun.

I've got one question for you!

Do you know who I am? Because I can't remember a thing.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

We should find out what's going and help our friends get their memory back?

-The other thing. -Oh, yeah, that's way better.

Fresh Start is filmed before a live studio audience.

This is Principal Murdsly. Everyone report to the gym, immediately,

for the cool principal appreciation assembly.

-Principal Murdsly? Who's that? -That name is so familiar.

Mic check. Mic check. I am Mr. Murdsly, your principal.

I have always been your principal. Now repeat after me.

I am the...

Uh, what is... What is that?

I am the...

I am the coolest principal, and no one makes fun of me ever!

You're the coolest principal, and no one makes fun of you ever.

Ah, yes, yes. Good, good.

I'm also the... Come on!

-This day keeps getting stranger. -I just wanna see what happens next.

Anyway, I'm also...

Oh, you got to be--

You know what? We'll just sing! Follow along!

You know what? He's... He's brainwashing everybody.

-Not good. -We gotta stop this.

-You're not our principal! -Yeah, you're a stranger

who writes catchy songs!

Of course I'm your principal. How absurd! Ha-ha-ha!

Students!

Do what we always do with traitors.

-What's that? -Seize them!

Check, please.

Sir, I don't know who I am,

but I am intuitively drawn to your somewhat evil power.

-I want to help. -As you wish...

Melvin. Yes, you're definitely a Melvin.

Melvin. That name fits me like a latex glove.

I can't believe it!

That everyone lost their memory and we have a weird new principal?

No, that we had a drama program.

If the school still had one, we'd be famous actors by now.

Winning this Thumbs-Uppy Award for Fresh Start is an honor.

It was a passion project that Harold and I--

Mom, I love you so much. This Thumbs-Uppy Award is for you.

- We gotta find out what Murdsly's up to. - Come on! This way!

But everyone's after us.

Costumes. We'll go undercover.

Easy, everyone, there's plenty of Murdsly for all.

Now just act natural and blend in.

You like me so much because I'm telling you.

Why does Murdsly care if a bunch of kids think he's cool? So desperate to be liked.

Maybe something traumatic happened when he was a kid

so he's replacing negative childhood associations with positive experiences.

Sorry, my mom watches Doctor Blame.

I'm Doctor Blame, and it's all your fault and you should be ashamed.

Your mom. Sure. Anyway, we gotta find out what this guy's deal is.

For me? You shouldn't have, Melvin. "World's Coolest Principal."

This is so much better than when I went here.

...than when I went to school here.

"When I went here?"

"When I went to school here?"

Murdsly went to our school!

Oh, Jessica's in this episode.

Generous, Thoughtful, I know this seems crazy dangerous,

but it's also crazy important for the whales.

So let's get in that tiny raft, form a human shield and save the whales!

Yah!

If Murdsly went to school here,

he's gotta be in one of these old yearbooks.

I got it! Theodore Murdsly.

Feels shady. What do you think happened?

Murdsly's student file.

"Band Concert '99. Murdsly Incident." Huh.

Whatever happened to him must be on this... whatever this is.

The ancients used to use these to watch workouts.

-Whoa! How do we turn it on? -I think you just...

Hmm.

And then, we press "Play."

Hey! Ted Murdsly sat in pudding!

We should call him Ted Turdsly!

Ted Turdsly!

Ted Turdsly! Ted Turdsly!

Theodore Murdsly is Ted Turdsly. Murdsly is the original Turdsly!

And he's brainwashed the school to think he's awesome.

-Do something. -So we do what we always do.

No, not that! We're gonna make a comic so everyone knows the truth.

One time, this kid named Ted Murdsly sat in pudding.

Sat!

All the kids called him Ted Turdsly 'cause it looked like he pooped his pants.

Also 'cause it rhymed, and life is cruel sometimes. Sad but true.

Ted got really mad and stayed mad for like 20 years.

Yeah, that is a long time. Then he came back to get revenge

'cause that's a dish better served cold, like gazpacho soup and ice cream.

He played his special evil glockenspiel so loud. "Ding-ding-plang."

And wiped everyone's memory so they would forget about Ted Turdsly.

Oh, it's so loud.

Then he made himself the principal and told everyone he was cool,

like a champion jet skier or whatever like trophy winner.

Since everybody's brains were empty they were all, "If you say so, bro."

Then Ted made them build a water park that only he could use. Wow, it was bad!

Luckily, Captain Underpants showed up, and was like, "Not cool! I like slides!"
