This episode better not be trash.
Sportacus is in his airship and he flips, lands on a button and turns to the screen. He tells the screen to look for Sportscandy and it zooms into an apple tree. The record for obtaining it is 59 seconds which Sportacus believes he can beat. So, he rides into town using the Sky Bike, and once he sees the apple tree, he throws a boomerang at it, and it slices the apple off the branch and it lands in his hands.
If this was realistic it’d have just landed in the grass. While going back to the ship, the boomerang flies back to him. Without even looking he catches it! Then he goes back in the ship - the record was 51 seconds! Anyways, back in the town after the intro.. Sportacus is literally lifting a bench. Stingy is carrying a bunch a trash in his car (including himself) when Milford comes to him. He tells Milford that he found some stuff that he doesn’t want - and gives it to him. Trying to carry it, Milford falls down into Stingy’s car wagon, sending Stingy flying into the air. Lucky Sportacus is there to catch him.
That doesn’t get a ‘thank you, Sportacus’ from Stingy. He is only concerned about his car. So, Sportacus pushes the mayor out of the wagon, then he goes after Stingy’s car. Then he checks on the mayor, takes the trash out his hand and throws it at Stingy’s car - Well, I’d do that. I am NOT cut out to be a super hero. He throws it at a far-away garbage can and makes a perfect shot! The mayor compliments him on it, and he goes back to the airship. Stingy advises Milford 'not to do that again’.
Back at Pixel’s house, the kids are watching an episode of a show they’ve already seen and Stephanie asks Pixel where the remote control is, but his room is such a mess he can’t find it. Stephanie proposes the idea of cleaning up but everyone including Steph declines. Then Ziggy panics and tells everyone not to move - he lost his lollipop. Stephanie promises to get him a new one. Then Trixie wants to play outside, assuming it’ll be cleaner there. So they all go. Ziggy is reluctant, but little does he know..
Robbie is in his lair, eating gooey sticky taffy, and THROWING THE WRAPPER on the floor - making a mountain of taffy wrappers. Anyways, it’s still dirty outside (Steph found Ziggy’s lollipop), so Pixel says that they can’t play - and that cheers up Robbie. Imagine being such a jerk your happiness is at the cost of a kid’s sadness. Anyways, he goes to look at the periscope, and questions how simple it can be. He says the answers to his problems is episode thirty - Greatest Hits.. hey, he said trash. No difference. Anyways, he has the usual disguise time except this time it’s not funny - Too fifties, too sixties, too seventies, 'eh’, then he finds the trashman costume.
Ta-taa! His plan is to fill a cannon with.. well.. trash, and launch it into LazyTown! HAHAHAHA! Anyways, he launches it to test if it works - but he forgot to open the hatch and it all comes crashing down. LOL. He’s happy it works, completely ignoring the fact his lair is a mess.
Meanwhile, the kids aren’t fond of Stingy’s idea to not be a lazy slob in a dirty town, and they run away when he bends down to pick up gloves. 'All you need is some organization.’ So, he runs back to Pixel’s house. But all his efforts won’t be needed, because Robbie’s finally driven into town with the cannon. Meanwhile, the kids are playing a video game (you pick up a MUSHROOM with a LEEK..?) when Stingy walks in angrily. Trixie’s excuse is that they don’t know how to clean - which gets Stingy to start performing ’Clean up’. Since the town is pretty clean, the kids tell Milford to take a rest and Pixel takes him to his room to play video games. After the song ends, Steph looks for a place to put her rubbish.
Then Robbie comes up in his trash-man costume, saying he is the trashman and tells her to give the rubbish to him. No hesitation, she does it. Not as easy with Trixie who argues with him for ten seconds before giving up. She’s not too sure about this. He sees some more trash and smiles. Then for some reason he notices some taffy in his mouth he didn’t even know was there. So, he throws it onto the ground before going to pick up more rubbish. Meanwhile, Ziggy is.. licking a lollipop.
Stingy is NOT being a lazy kid, and he is working on his very own recycling system, then Robbie comes to mess it up. Eventually he convinces him with three questions - 'Do you stay up late at night studying trash?’ 'Have you ever been to trash school?’ 'Do you even have a Trash Man Badge?’ As suspected, the answer to all these questions - is no. Then Robbie spits out more taffy. Slob. Stingy scrapes it up and flings it into a bin, telling Robbie to 'not do that agaen’. He says he’ll be watching him. Robbie’s so annoyed by this once he leaves, he throws his taffy wrapper on the ground and says 'I’ll be watching YOU!!’ Anyways, Ziggy finally finishes his lollipop.
He jumps off the bench, takes a bin, and steps on Robbie’s taffy. He’s stuck to the ground. (That would be hard to get off but it’s possible!) Anyways, Pixel is still attempting to teach Milford to play the Leek game when the kids all come into the house, informing Milford and Pixel the town is tidy. But not for long - Robbie has finally got his cannon to work and he pulls the lever, making trash fireworks. Stingy comes in and makes an announcement - the town is tidy. Thanks, I heard. So, he pulls up the window to demonstrate and boy does he get a surprise.
Stingy thinks this is just a dream so he tells someone to pinch him - and Trixie does. Really hard. By now, Robbie’s broken the lever. Stephanie realizes Ziggy’s missing - so Stingy DIVES IN the trash to find him. That’s no use because Sportacus’ crystal beeps (Man, this sucks, he was only in three scenes of this episode..) and he flips into town. The kids watch on Pixel’s computer as if it’s a movie. Sportacus calls for a boomerang and throws it at the lever. The trashpour stops! Hooray! Trixie has the audacity to say 'We did it’.. little brat. Sportacus finds Ziggy and tries to pull him up but he can’t because of that bing bang taffy. Stingy pops up from some trash and throws a scraper at Sportacus, and HE dives in.
For a while nobody can see him, but he pops up with Ziggy! I don’t know how he scraped off the taffy - he couldn’t possibly see under all the trash. Ziggy preaches - 'I’m free!’ Robbie jumps from a wall to another wall and climbs on top. He says that this was a bad idea and he wobbles and falls into a trash can. (I love how Stefan screams when he’s trying to talk. 'Maybe this trash wasn’t such a good idea after aAAAAAUGGGH’) Sportacus hears the lid drop, and goes to rescue him. He pulls him out but his hat/wig and moustache have fallen off. Then he goes back into the bin after everyone realizes it’s him. I’d do the same. Stingy says that they have a little job to do, and in the span of a fourty second long 'Bing Bang’ they’ve CLEARED THE TOWN.
Maybe it wouldn’t be as dumb if they sang the extended version of Bing Bang, but, kids show. Robbie is sulking in the lair, and he throws yet another piece of taffy on the floor. He steps on the piece he JUST THREW. Did he forget about it 1 second after? Then he falls onto the ground in the Taffy Mountain (TM, TM).
He greets the trash. LOL!! So simple and so funny.
