Chapter Text
Dandy: Welcome to The Million Tape Game Encore Episodes! If you are seeing this, this means that we have revealed some cast members set to return for Season 5, Fans VS Favorites. I’m your host, Dandy Dancifer, and we’ll focus on the fourth episode of the show! Specifically, Shelly! We don’t have much good stuff we can showcase from her so… this is pretty much the episode she gets lots of focus on! Another Toon you should expect to get a tad bit of focus is our FIN-ny friend, Finn! Who really showed up a lot in All-Stars! As always, thanks for tuning in and sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this episode!
[special intro for The Encore Episodes]
Sprout and Shelly are in the Elevator of Shame, which is opened.
Shelly: Well, Shannon left me this note after we closed, promising that she’ll come back… eventually.
Sprout: At least Shannon’s nice… Sam on the other hand… ugh! They’re strict and rules with an iron hand.
Shelly: Though you gotta admit, they saved this place from burning down many, many times!
Sprout: It was honestly pretty epic seeing them hold an extinguisher and quell whatever flames Cosmo and I caused… speaking of Cosmo, it was kind of a disaster when he first started baking!
Shelly: It’s really impressive how he’s improved so far!
Sprout: And I was never ever far away from Cosmo… until now.
Shelly: Don’t worry, Sprout! If you feel all alone here, remember, Cosmo is cheering for you at home.
Sprout: You’re right.
STORY CONFESSIONAL:
Sprout: Ah yes, Cosmo! My best friend since… diapers.
Photos of Sprout and Cosmo can be seen on-camera, as well as some with Ginger in it
Sprout: He’s got the hugest heart ever, always caring for other people whenever they’re down. He even bakes cookies for other Toons and our fans! Alongside his cousin, Ginger… we make a great team!
Sprout reappears on-camera
Sprout: And Cosmo, if you’re watching this, I’m gonna give this Million Tape Game my all!
STORY CONFESSIONAL:
Shelly: Well, all that talk with Sprout makes me really, REALLY want to talk about myself a lot!
A photo of an entire shelf still full of Shelly plushies are shown.
Shelly: Well, I’m not really the most well-known Toon her as some of you may know or… whatever.
…Followed by a photo of Shelly and Tisha
Shelly: But at least I have a few Toons which I can call… friends. Like Tisha! She’s a really supportive friend, especially when it comes to my side hobby for sewing… and my Handler, Shannon. I’ll miss you guys…
Meanwhile, Glisten is still practicing his reflection trick in the bedroom.
Glisten: Still a little dizzy… AGAIN!
David walks in and sees Glisten
Glisten: Oh, hey David! Nothing of interest here…
David: Uh huh… I’ll give you a little bit of privacy I guess…?
Glisten: NO, don’t leave! I practiced my reflection trick and I got it perfectly… LIKE ALWAYS! Watch.
Glisten accidentally teleports five feet above the ground and falls
Glisten: Owww…
David: You… ok?
Glisten: I’m fine… it’s perfect! You didn’t see that… It’s all a hallucinaaation…
David slowly backs away and runs out of the bedroom.
STORY CONFESSIONAL:
Glisten: Well, this Million Tape Game is my stage… and I’m the star of this show!… UGH, fine… I have to be perfect all the time, because I just am, ok! Anyways… I would spend my grand prize on not just me… I have some friends! Like Bea, Rodger… and my sister, Vanity!… You’re cheering for me back home, right?… RIGHT?!
Dandy (from the speakers): Attention, all contestants! Meet me in the Elevator of Shame for your next challenge!
Sprout: Oh, well… perfect timing, I guess!
A stampede of contestants are brimming
Shelly: D… do you hear that?
The rest of the contestants enter the Elevator of Shame excited. Suddenly, it closes on them are they are trapped inside.
Sprout: This… is bad.
A gas gets secretly released, putting everyone in a deep sleep
? (to walkie-talkie): I’ve got them.
! (from walkie-talkie): Good. Meet me in one of your trains.
Time skip. The contestants wake up in a train for their challenge. However, instead of Dandy explaining it, Dyle is doing so instead.
Dyle: Welcome, remaining twelve, to your fourth challenge! In this fabulous train, there are eight cabins before you reach the locomotive of the train. There, you’ll meet Dandy and win. To advance through each cabin, you need to answer one question. Failure to provide a correct answer will result in a forfeit of a disgusting meal in each cabin! Each Toon will have to eat the disgusting food to move on, or else their entire team loses!
David: Hold on… if there’s six left in each team… and there’s eight…
Dyle: That’s right! Two, and only two of you, from each team will have to answer a second question. Now, take your time before-
Lightning: Oooh, can Lightning answer two questions? PLEASE?
Dyle:…Looks like the Capsules have their first volunteer! Any more takers?
CONFESSIONAL:
Gigi: No… why?
CONFESSIONAL:
Al: I’m calling this man, we are SO COOKED.
CONFESSIONAL:
Iona: EZ. GGs. GAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Shelly raises her hand
Dyle:…And you are?
Shelly: Oh uhh… Shelly!
Dyle: Uh huh… are you volunteering to answer a second question?
Shelly: YES! Of course!
Dyle: Good. Tenacious Tapes, please pick your two volunteers… or we’re picking them-
Iona and Glisten raise their hands simultaneously.
Dyle: Great. Now, here’s the twist… you will be spinning a wheel of different categories of questions, one of which includes questions about EACH. OTHER. But, before you spin the wheel… you have the option to get a question about one of your fellow contestants… for a chance to get a "skip ticket"!
As Dyle holds the skip ticket, angelic music can be heard. Gigi is fawning over it like a prized possession.
Gigi: Woah…
Dyle: You can use the skip ticket to skip one question you may find hard… or embarassing… anyways, for winning yesterday’s challenge, the Crazy Capsules are starting with one skip ticket!
Lightning snatches the skip ticket and glances at it. The rest of the Capsules shrug.
CONFESSIONAL:
Gigi: Well, it’s clear that for the better of Toon-kind that the IDIOT gets the ticket.
CONFESSIONAL:
Lightning: My precious…
Dyle: You will get separate questions for each team, and if someone selects the Personal Questions category, their team can stand a chance to get a skip ticket. Now, let the games begin!
Looey enters the first cabin, dressed up as a train conductor.
Looey: I’ll handle the Capsules, you, handle the Tapes!
Dyle nods.
Dyle: Now… Iona?
Iona: Personal question, please!
Dyle: Hmm… how tall are you, really?
Iona thinks for a while, looking very uncomfortable… before giving Dyle the finger.
Dyle: Rude forfeit from Iona!
Looey: Now… Shelly, personal question?
Shelly: Yup!
Looey: Which one of your fellow contestants have not seen one of David’s shows?
Shelly: Well uhh… I… Eenie… meenie… minie… MOE!
Shelly points at Lightning, who gives David a rather… sheepish look on his face.
Looey: That is correct!
Lightning:…OK, ONCE LIGHTNING’S DONE WITH THIS SHOW, HE’LL SEE ONE OF YOUR SHOWS, OK?!
David: Ok…?
Looey: Tenacious Tapes, you will not be able to enter the next cabin until your disgusting meal is over. Crazy Capsules, follow me to the next cabin, and oh, take this!
Dyle passes Shelly a skip ticket, as the Crazy Capsules follow Looey into the next cabin for their second question.
Dyle: And as for your gourmet meal: cereal served in a disgusting boot! Fail to eat it, and your team automatically loses!
Sprout: Haha… great! Yum!
Meanwhile, the Capsules are in the second cabin
Looey: (coughs)… Pebble?
Pebble: Bworf? [Yes?]
Looey: Personal question, or random question?
Pebble:… Woof, arf! [Random question, please!]
Looey: If you say so… (spins the wheel) And looks like the wheel lands on… Food and Beverage! Pebble, what is the main ingredient in gummy bears?
Pebble: Bworf? [Gumballs?]
Looey: Pebble, your answer is… WRONG! The correct answer is gelatin. Crazy Capsules, your dish will be gummy bear pizza with expired mayo!
The Capsules are visibly frustrated and disgusted but say nothing.
Pebble: (whines) [Aww…]
Lightning: It’s ok, Pebs! We’ll get the next question right!
The Capsules eat their disgusting pizza, while the Tapes eat their uniquely served cereal.
Iona: (gulps) I think there’s something in my mouth… I think it’s… crawling in- (chokes on something)
David: OH GOD, IONA, ARE YOU OK?!
Iona: DO I… (coughs) LOOK OK?!
David attempts to do the Heimlich manoeuvre on Iona, which works. Iona spits out a bit of cereal… and a cockroach, scaring everyone.
Glisten: EW, WHAT THE [censored]?!
Iona: KILL IT!
The Tenacious Tapes try to kill the cockroach, as Dyle watches in shock.
CONFESSIONAL:
Dyle: Are they forgetting about the challenge?
Meanwhile, Shelly tries to socialise with Al over the pizza.
Shelly: You know how disgusting expired mayo is?
Al: Pretty terrible, and everyone knows that!
Shelly: Yeah… well…
Al: If you badly want to know, I accidentally used expired mayo when preparing a little meal for Rudie. Both of us… (chuckles) vomited endlessly for days and… it didn’t feel so good.
Shelly: Oh…
Lightning lifts up his plate, which is emptied up
Lightning: DONE!
Shelly: Well, better finish up the pizza, or else we won’t-
The Tenacious Tapes and Dyle enter the second cabin
Shelly: I… should’ve kept my mouth shut!
Dyle:…Astro.
Astro: Huh?
Dyle: Would you like to-
Astro: Nope!
Dyle: Okay… (spins the wheel) Astro, your question is about… Space. Which planet was later re-classified as a Dwarf Planet?
Astro:…Pluto?
Dyle: That is correct! Please head to the next cabin for your third question.
The Tapes cheer for Astro, as he tries to cup his ears… he’s not a fan of loud noises. The Capsules rush eating their pizzas and run into the third cabin with Looey.
Iona:…Talk about desperate, am I right?
Dyle shrugs as they enter the third cabin.
The teams are now in the third cabin. This time, the wheel has a bit more "Personal Questions" spaces than it used to.
Looey: Now, for the Crazy Capsules… Gigi, which category would you like to go for-
Gigi: Personal. Chop chop.
Looey: Well then… name ten naughty things Pebble has done in the Dandy’s World show itself!
Gigi: It’s easy. Well, running away from home…
Lightning glares at Gigi, the former starting to get increasingly agitated…
Looey: Time is ticking… tick tock!
Dyle: Now, for the Tenacious Tapes… Finn?
Finn: Random category.
Dyle: Ok… looks like you’ve unfortunately landed on Personal Questions!
Finn: Dang it!
Gigi:…Stealing a bone from Shelly’s house-
Lightning starts to seethe in anger, putting Gigi in even more pressure.
Looey: Finn! What is the worst dish Sprout had ever made?
Finn: Well uhh… I don’t want to say this… but uhh…
David: It’s probably an uncooked steak, Finn… Sprout should be fine with that.
Sprout: I don’t know, David… I don’t want to talk about it…
Gigi: And uhh… there was this time where… Lightning-
CONFESSIONAL:
Lightning: Come ON, man… this is for the challenge. Don’t let it get to your head… UGH!
CONFESSIONAL:
Pebble whines in concern.
Finn: Should I say this, or should I not?…
Sprout: No, please don’t say this…
Looey and Dyle: You’re wasting precious time…
Gigi: Lightning and Pebble accidentally uhh… hit Boxten with a frisbee!… Or biting Rodger and pinning him down in that superhero episode
Lightning is at the verge of crashing out
Gigi: And… and…
Lightning: Say one more thing about Pebble, and-
Iona: JUST SAY IT, IT’S NOT THAT BAD!
Gigi: I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
Finn: SPROUT MADE KOALA TACOS!
Dyle and the contestants gasp in horror… before a dead silence.
Finn: And I never told anyone because I am… SUCH A GOOD FRIEND… (sobs)
David: Hold on, you did WHAT?!
Glisten: That is so, SO messed up.
Sprout: I… I can explain!
Finn: I’m sorry, I’m SO, SO SORRY, I SHOULD’VE WENT FOR THAT FORFEIT!
Dyle: Oh my… Sprout? Not a question but can you give us a reason why you did that?
Sprout: I WAS HIRED TO… I didn’t know beforehand… and… I’m sorry…
Finn pats Sprout’s back as they move on to the fourth cabin. Meanwhile, the Crazy Capsules still stand in shock, as Looey serves them maggot stew.
Dyle: Fourth question! David, would you…
David: (sighs) I’m not taking any chances.
Dyle: Good, good! Now… looks like your category… happens to be Personal Questions too!
Everyone groans in anger, as Dyle smacks his lips.
Dyle: David, rank everyone remaining in this competition from one to twelve. If at least six of your rankings exactly lines up with mine, you’re good to go!
David: Oh ok, I… uhh…
Ten minutes pass, the Tapes are a little upset as the Capsules enter the next cabin after their forfeit. Lightning twitches his head.
David: First is… Hahah… I CAN’T DO THIS WITH ALL THIS PRESSURE (clones himself)
Dyle: GAH-
Iona: Woah…
Sprout: OH MY GOD-
David: I’m so sorry. It’s just… ahh…
STORY CONFESSIONAL:
David: Ok, that was uncalled for. I’ve had that ability since I was born, and it usually helps with my magic tricks… Where do you see the issue, huh?
Looey: And… Lightning?
Lightning: What?
Looey: Personal Question?
Lightning: Pfft, bring it. Lightning can take on anything.
Looey: Well, in that case… How did Finn and Marina become enemies-
Finn: No.
Looey:…Uhh… let me say the question again, How did-
Lightning: Uhh… Can Lightning use his skip ticket?
Looey: Very well! Crazy Capsules, please move on to the next cabin. Tenacious Tapes, I’m sorry but it’s forfeit time!
The Crazy Capsules follow Looey into the next cabin as Dyle brings out their forfeit: Sandpaper and banana peel smoothie.
A montage of answers starts… starting with Poppy’s impossible math problem, taken straight out of Baldi’s Basics Classic. Poppy fails to answer it correctly and causes her team to eat a burrito in a sock. Al cringes in disgust and barfs at the window, before he stuffs the entire sock in his mouth and runs into the next cabin.
Sprout answers a question about Geography correctly and moves on to the next cabin. Gigi confesses that she cosplays to her team, while Glisten reveals that Finn has a crush on Luka from Miraculous Ladybug. Finn blushes in embarrassment while Iona laughs at him, to Lightning’s frustration. Al correctly answers a question correctly, as the two teams move on to the next cabin.
Dyle: Now, we’re down to the final two cabins… and this time… MEWHEHEHE!
Dyle reveals that all but one space is Personal Questions.
Dyle: And from this point on, no skip tickets will be received from voluntarily answering Personal Questions.
Some of the contestants groan.
[commercial break]
Dyle: And from this point on, no skip tickets will be received from voluntarily answering Personal Questions.
Some of the contestants groan.
CONFESSIONAL:
Iona: Oh, this is good!
CONFESSIONAL:
Shelly: No… no no no!
Dyle: Iona?
Iona: Personal Question. NOW!
Dyle: Ok… What did Glisten do on the second day you’re here.
Iona: I know… Glisten helped Gigi stole Sprout’s secret ingredient!
Glisten: H… HOW DID YOU KNOW- I mean… nothing happened!
Sprout: GLISTEN?!, GIGI?!
Gigi: What?
Glisten: Look, I can explain…
Sprout: I am not mad at you, just disappointed.
Glisten: Phew…
Sprout: AND EXTREMELY MAD.
Glisten: Well, what’s your damage, Sprout? It’s probably empty anyways, just like your mAgIc SeCrEt ReCiPe
Sprout: Well, you can take that greasy makeup of yours and shove it RIGHT up your-
Looey: Let’s not go that far before things get really… really bad! Now, Shelly?
Shelly:…I’m taking my chances.
Dyle: Well then!… You just happened to land on… (spins the wheel)… Personal Questions! Now, Shelly, what is the worst thing… Al has done to his mom?
Al: HEY, YOU CAN’T JUST…
Looey: I’m sorry… but it’s part of the contract. Outside business is allowed to be mentioned in-
Shelly: Well uhh… Skip ticket!
Dyle: Very well, both teams, please move on to the next cabin for the final question.
The remaining twelve follow Dyle and Looey into the next cabin. Dandy’s silouhette can be seen from the door that leads to the locomotive.
Dyle: Welcome to the final cabin. You will be sharing the final question, so first one to answer correctly wins. Additionally, if you answer wrongly, you will automatically lose this challenge. Now… before we start-
Glisten: No personal questions.
Lightning: Agreed.
Dyle:…You know the wheel dictates the category you pick? (spins the wheel)… and looks like the category is not Personal Questions! Now… has the Los Angeles Chargers ever won a Super Bowl ring.
Glisten is scratching his head… while Lightning is… counting?
Pebble: Bworf?! [WHAT?!]
Al: Don’t just do your 1 2 3’s ANSWER THE QUESTION!
Lightning: GIVE ME A FEW MINUTES
The camera alternates between Glisten and Lightning… as muffled screaming and complaining can be heard… finally, Lightning screams the answer to Dyle’s question.
Lightning: UNFORTUNATELY, NO.
Everyone gasps
Looey: That is correct. Crazy Capsules, follow me to meet Dandy. Tenacious Tapes, wait there until further instruction.
The Capsules follow Looey into the locomotive, while most of the Tapes glare at Glisten and Finn
Finn: Sprout did NOT know anything about-
Glisten: GIGI BLACKMAILED ME-
Meanwhile, the Capsules are in the locomotive, meeting Dandy.
Dandy: Oh, what a surprise! Looks like the Crazy Capsules won today’s challenge!
Shelly: Yup! And we couldn’t have done it without Lightning!… Right, Lightning?
Lightning is standing up, arms akimbo and smiling.
Shelly: Ah… uhh…
Lightning: You gotta admit, Lightning isn’t that dumb-
Al: What’s 9 + 10?
Lightning: Uhh… 21?
Al: You stupid.
Lightning: NO, I’M NOT!
Al continues teasing Lightning, which frustrates the thunderbolt a little bit more. The scene transitions to the Projector Room, where Glisten and David are talking to each other at the beanbags.
Glisten: And Gigi said that if I do not help her in her heist… she’s going to steal my makeup. My beloved makeup!
David: I’ll try to explain everything to them.
Glisten: And that was coming for someone that COOKED. KOALAS. What’s worse? Cooking an endangered species, or stealing some stupid non-existent secret ingredient?!
David:…The endangered species?
Glisten: Exactly. We’re voting Sprout off tonight
David nods in agreement.
Meanwhile, Sprout and Finn are discussing their vote in the bedroom
Finn: Look, I’m sorry Sprout but-
Sprout: IT’S ALRIGHT, IT’S OVER! The more you MENTION those tacos the more people are going to know about this!
Finn: Jeez, ok… calm down, Sprout!
Sprout: Calm… DOWN?!
Finn: On second thought… I’d give you some privacy-
Sprout: Look, those tacos are an accident… I didn’t know those poor koalas are going to be killed for this…
Finn: You’re right… So, do we vote Glisten off or what?
Sprout:…Vote Glisten off.
Finn: Ok!
Finn walks away, while Sprout takes something out of his scarf… the Immunity Idol he found on day one.
Meanwhile, David drags Finn to the gym.
David: Hey, Finn!
Finn: Yeah?
David: Look, I know it may be hard, but you have to vote for Sprout.
Finn: B… BUT…
David: (sighs) Do you want to be in the majority or not?
Finn: I… I don’t know…
CONFESSIONAL:
Finn: CLAM on… which one to vote for… which one…?
[ELIMINATION CEREMONY]
Dandy: Welcome, Tenacious Tapes… to your second ever Elimination Ceremony! Before we start, please write down your votes and place it in this ballot box in front of you.
The Tenacious Tapes take turns voting for each other. Glisten looks a bit worried, while Sprout is a little flustered.
Dandy: Before we start, Dyle, my good man, tell us why some of you might be going home.
Dyle: Glisten and Sprout, it’s self-explanatory… your secrets were a little messed up.
Glisten: Well, Sprout’s one makes me look like a saint!
Sprout: I… I DIDN’T KNOW ANYTHING!
Dandy: Before we start-
Sprout: Zip it, Dandy!
Sprout holds his Immunity Idol up in the air. The rest of the Tapes are shocked.
Sprout: I would like to use an Immunity Idol! On… myself.
Dandy: Very well, Yatta?
Yatta: YES?!
Dandy: Pass Sprout some candy!
Yatta: OK! (throws a candy onto Sprout)
Dandy: First vote goes to… SPROUT!
Sprout: Phew…
Yatta: And that goes right into this one-of-a-kind shredder!
Glisten gasps as Yatta outright eats that vote.
Dandy: Second vote… Glisten. Third vote… Sprout!
Yatta: Yum! (eats the vote)
Astro cringes as the bits of paper fly messily around Yatta’s mouth. Yatta is chewing very, very loudly.
Dandy: Fourth vote… Sprout!
Yatta: Tasty… muy exquisite.
Yatta is still eating the Sprout votes.
Dandy: And fifth Toon out of the Million Tape Game… is Glisten! That’s two votes, you must go.
Glisten: UGH, this game is rigged!
David: …I’ll miss you, bud…
Glisten: Win this for me, please?
David: I’ll try…
Dandy: UH HUM!
Glisten: Right…
Glisten follows Dandy to the Elevator of Shame.
CONFESSIONAL:
Glisten: And by a sudden twist of fate, HOW DID I GET BOOTED THIS EARLY?! Sprout is literally right there with those koala tacos and you choose the accomplice? Huh, maybe most of them… Hold on… UGH! That stupid Immunity Idol… and to think Sprout found it first before me! My vision is top-notch!
Dandy (from the speakers): (chuckles) That totally explains the numerous amount of times you banged onto walls!
Glisten waves back at David… before flipping Sprout off as the elevator doors close.
Sprout: I’m sorry, bud…
Finn pats Sprout’s shoulder.
Finn: Hey, don’t fret, Sprout! I trust you…
Sprout hugs Finn.
Sprout: Thanks, Finn. (smiles)
The camera zooms out to reveal Dandy re-watching the episode from the Office.
Dandy: Huh, didn’t expect a bit more Lightning here than I expected, but no matter! Shelly’s extroverted nature and Lightning’s… overconfidence would definitely help their social games, unlike Finn’s… loose lips! But ehh, that was the season Finn lost a tiebreaker in! We should see a bit more Finn later on down the road, but for today, I’m Dandy, this was Shelly and Finn, and that was The Million Tape Game: The Encore Episodes! See you next time!
