Original Prankster

So, Max, I hear it's your six-month anniversary.

What are you gonna get Alison?

Yeah, no, thanks.

She's not really into eating food out of people's backpacks.

But I am, bro.

Oooh, combo.

Oh, here she comes.

Hey, there you are.

I saved us the best table.

- Oh, I didn't know Splat Burger had a best table.

Oh, look, Evan's on a date.

It's with a lizard, but still...love.

- Shall we share the cheesecake, my little pookie bear?

- I just love this romantic side of you, Max.

You're bursting with emotion.

Oh, something's gonna burst.

Watch this.

Happy anniversary!

What'd you get me?

*

* What you see is not what you get *

* Living our lives with a secret *

* We fit right in, bet you'd never guess *

* Because we're living our lives just like all the rest *

* A picture-perfect family is what we try to be *

* But closer you might see the crazy things we do *

* This isn't make-believe

* It's our reality

* Just your average family trying to be normal *

* And stay out of trouble

* Living a double life *

All right, Nora.

Whoever scores this next point is champion of the universe.

- And whoever loses has to lick the driveway.

- Oh, no, it went into Mrs. Wong's yard.

- I'll see if I can find the ball.

You start kissing cement.

- Billy, stop eating ants again.

We lost another ball.

- Oh, don't worry, your big sis will get it back.

Well, that was easy.

Mom! Dad!

Mrs. Wong sent another ball to ball heaven!

- Yeah, she left her mark on it.

- Somebody needs to change that lady's diaper.

- You guys ever wondered why Mrs. Wong is so mean?

- Huh-uh. - Nope.

- I'm pretty sure she's an actual witch.

Think about it.

Have any of us ever stopped to stay, "Hello, Mrs. Wong?"

Or "How's your day, Mrs. Wong?"

Or "Mrs. Wong, would you like to come over

for some peach cobbler?"

- I don't know, something about a cobbler.

- I'm saying maybe if we were nice to Mrs. Wong

she'd be nice to us in return.

For example...oh, what if we fix her fence?

- Honey, some people are just grouches.

And it's best to leave them alone.

Why'd you bring up cobbler?

Now I want cobbler.

*

Okay, can I open them yet?

What's this big anniversary surprise?

A few more steps, and here.

- My anniversary gift is a bunch of dweebs?

I hope you kept the receipt.

This isn't a gift.

It's a prank-ter-vention.

All of the people you have hurt are here to confront you

about your pranking problem.

- No, there's no way this is all of them.

Well, I'm not the only one

who doesn't like your pranking, Max.

So you're going to sit down and listen.

Evan, would you like to go first?

- There's a thin line between comedy and tragedy.

Aristotle once said-- - Skip to the last card.

- Max, your pranks are hurtful. Please stop.

They're just harmless jokes.

- You drew a permanent mustache on Tonya Redecci.

- Yeah, and she looks Redecci-ulous.

- And Howard never recovered from that urinal incident.

Oh, come on, grape juice

spraying out of the urinal was funny.

- Thanks to you, I have to run home to pee.

And sometimes...I don't make it.

- Dude, you're only encouraging me.

All right, fine.

I had no idea how much my pranks hurt all of you.

Sorry, guys.

How 'bout I give you some...

goodwill mints to make amends?

I'm so proud of you, Max.

I didn't think you'd be open to change,

but I guess I was wrong.

It's a trap!

- This was fun. We should do more of these.

Forget it. I'm done.

What are you talking about?

I don't want to be with a guy

who hurts people just for laughs.

Goodbye, Max.

Hold on, hold on.

Okay, for you...

I'll give up pranking.

Seriously.

- Max Thunderman is gonna give up pranking?

Yes.

Let's shake on it.

- If I shake a fake hand, so help me...

*

- * There is a hag whose heart is cold *

- * Her name is Wong, and she's real old *

- All right, you guys are kind of ruining

the whole let's be nice to Mrs. Wong thing.

- Get out of my yard, you tone-deaf hooligans.

Put down the pan, Mrs. Wong.

We're just fixing your fence.

We also wonder that.

We're just being neighborly.

- Uh, well, if you dummies wanna work for free,

it's on your smelly heads.

Cover me.

I'm torching this fence.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Guys, this is gonna work, okay?

After we're done, Mrs. Wong will be the nicest neighbor

and no longer look at us like that.

*

Have to break.

Have to break.

How can you do this to me, Alison?

I can't take it.

Calm down.

Here, maybe a blast from the hose will cool you off.

Okay. Hit me.

Not funny, Colosso.

I'm trying to quit pranking once and for all.

I really like Alison.

And she's the only person

I look forward to seeing every day.

Because it's working.

I just...

I don't wanna lose her.

- Well, if you're gonna quit pranking,

you need to go out with a big bang.

You're right.

Just one last big prank, get it out of my system.

And, Alison, doesn't even have to know.

Wait!

Let me wipe that confetti off ya.

- Yeah, I'm not gonna walk back over there

just so you can prank me again.

*

We bought new kickballs.

Phoebe was wrong.

It doesn't feel good to help others.

It hurts!

No, you guys are wrong.

I'm positive she'll see her fence is nicely painted

and give up her Wongy ways.

Alert, alert.

Mrs. Wong approaching.

Activating porch lasers.

No, Thunder Monitor, stop!

Who programed in lasers for Mrs. Wong?

Guilty, baby.

Hello, my favorite neighbors.

- You know you're at the Thundermans, right?

Oh, Barbara, you're so funny.

I brought these treats

to thank your kids for fixing my fence.

- Why, that was very neighborly of you.

I hope we can do more things together in the future.

Oh, I agree.

In fact, I'm having a party tomorrow,

and would love it if all kids would come.

We would love to, Mrs. Wong.

Please, call me, Auntie Wong.

- If these are as good as they look,

I'll call you whatever you want.

- I'll see you kids tomorrow at 3:30 sharp.

- Well, look who was right about Mrs. Wong.

You were, Phoebe.

Good job, Phoebe.

Thank you, Phoebe.

*

- Time to head home to the wife and kids.

If I say it enough times, maybe it'll happen.

Oh.

Hello, free khakis.

Huh?

Uoh!

Ah, ah!

You won't get away with this!

No one laughs at Tag Bradford!

Stop laughing!

Uh!

Then stop falling.
