Total Cartoon Island! Episode 25: "Cartoon GUTS!!!!" (Continued.) / After Otto's confessional ends, he, Stimpy, and Sandy are ready to begin grabbing the basketball in the Aerial Basketball Grab event. Sniz says: "Don't forget, contestants; you must wait BEFORE Fondue blows his whistle before you jump off and bounce up to grab the basketball!" Sandy says: "You think you can handle THAT, Otto?" Otto says: "I can handle ANYTHING you or this show can dish out!" Fondue says: "On your mark, get set!" (Blows whistle) And the 9 attempts to claim a basketball begins. Stimpy gets the ball on the 1st attempt, Sandy gets the ball on the 2nd attempt, Otto gets the ball on the 3rd attempt, Sandy gets the ball on the 4th attempt, Stimpy gets the ball on the 5th attempt, Otto gets the ball on the 6th & 7th attempt, Stimpy gets the ball on the 8th attempt, and Sandy gets the ball on the 9th attempt! Sniz says: "And this challenge is over! Fondue, just how well did our players do?!" Fondue says: "For the Aerial Basketball Grab event, it was a 3-way tie! Each contestant grabbed the basketball fairly 3 times each!" Sniz says: "Than that means its time to look at the scoreboard again & see where our contestants are at now! Stimpy is still in the lead with 600 points, Sandy is in 2nd with 500 points, and Otto is in 3rd with 400 points!" Otto says: "You're pretty fast when it comes to grabbing a ball, Stimpy!" Stimpy says: "I thank you for your pleasant compliment!" Otto says: "But I'm not out of this game yet! I STILL plan on winning!" Sandy says: "Why is winning so important to you?" Otto says: "Because if I DON'T win, then I WILL lose, and Rocket's are NOT known for losing!" Stimpy says: "But your sister Reggie lost and she took it just fine." Otto says: "That's because Angelica sabotaged her chances! Angelica would've NEVER beaten Reggie in a fair competition!" Sandy says: "Never say 'never' when it comes to competition. There will always be different variables involved." Otto says: "Wouldn't know, science is for UNTALENTED people who can't play an A-game!" Sandy says: "You haven't even seen MY A-game, Otto!" Otto says: "Bring it on then! Otherwise, these challenges won't be as satisfying!"
(Confessional) Sandy says: "Otto Rocket can simply be analyzed as a person who not only likes to gloat about his own skills, but undermine other people's confidence at the same time! Not only that, he always has to be the center of attention in team sports! When the Screaming Cats were a team, at least I let my fellow team-mates have the spot-light unlike Otto never did!" / Stimpy says: "There are some things in life I still don't understand, and the conflict between Sandy and Otto is one of them. Why are they always at each other's throats? It's not like Otto ever did anything personal to Sandy or vice-versa. Why can't they just enjoy playing the game instead of being hostile at each other?" / Otto says: "It's not MY fault that Sandy doesn't understand me! She just doesn't comprehend that science and sports don't mix!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "It's time to move on to our 3rd event! What do we have slated for THIS challenge?" Fondue says: "Our next event is called Hang Ten. Each contestant will have a separate 60 second turn to dive into our ocean-simulating Extreme Pool to grab 10 buoys randomly deposited around the pool or as many buoys as they can. Whoever grabs the most buoys, wins!" Otto says: "YES! An ACTUAL sport! Here's an area where I will HAVE to dominate, considering that I'm an expert at actual sports!" Sandy says: "You're not the only one who can swim you know." Stimpy says: "And compared with Reggie Rocket, I thought swimming was your worst event." Otto says: "Between Reggie and myself, there's not much skill difference comparing our best events with our worst events. I STILL rank #4 as best swimmer in Ocean Shores, California!" Sandy says: "Only in the boy's division!" Otto says: "At least I DO rank in a division, which is more than I can say for you, Miss Smart-aleck who lives in the ocean but doesn't even take the time to swim!" Sandy says: "Spongebob helped me out SINCE the surfing challenge, big mouth!" Otto says: "It's still not enough to beat me!" Stimpy says: "Knock it off, you two! Can't we just have a friendly competition?" Sandy and Otto both scream: "NO!!!!" (Confessional) Stimpy says: "In the half of my life that I've known Ren as my best friend, I always thought that REN was a competitive spirit, but Sandy and Otto make Ren's drive to win in life look like nothing! Winning shouldn't come at the cost of having fun. Winning or losing means nothing unless you can have fun no matter what happens to you. It's amazing how I managed to wind up with Mr. and Ms. Crazy Compulsive Competitive Camper Contestants."
(End Confessional) Sniz says: "The pool is all set up and Otto is ready for the event to begin!" Fondue says: "On your mark, get set!" (Blows whistle!) And Otto begins attacking the turbulent action of the Extreme Pool like a hungry tiger shark, and before 60 seconds is up, Otto grabs 9 buoys! Otto says: "Beat THAT, bucktooth! I fear that you're destined to fail." Sandy says: "Gladly! Texan's don't know the meaning of the word 'quit!'" Otto says: "Obviously because the collective IQ of the entire state of Texas is less than that of an ACTUAL squid rather than my friend, Sam the Squid, due in large part to the actions of the man YOU elected in 2000 & 2004!" Sandy says: "The people who govern MY state have no bearings on MY IQ whether they become President or not! Besides, we ALL know that nobody elected him HONESTLY!" Otto says: "Because YOU threw your vote away on Ralph Nader!" Sandy says: "Do you get your sick kicks out of insulting everything you see?!" Otto says: "Only if it's someone who will never measure up to me!" Sandy says: "Otto, you asked for it! I think it's time you found out that anything you can do, I can do better, anytime, anyplace, any challenge, ANYWHERE!" Otto says: "I'll be sure to write THAT quote on your tombstone when you drown." (Confessional) Sandy says: "Otto thinks he's SO perfect in everything he does! Well, I'll show him that my buck-teeth aren't just for breaking acorns; they're about to break his over-confidence and his overly smug attitude!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "The pool is set up for Sandy, and she's raring to get this challenge going!" Fondue says: "On your mark, get set!" (Blows whistle!) Sandy swims slower than Otto, but she's able to manuever through the waves more easily as she goes WITH the flow of the waves rather than against it, surprising even Otto as SHE manages to grab 9 buoys before 60 seconds is up! Sandy says: "Not winning as easily as you thought, are you Otto?" Otto says: "I never said winning WOULD be easy against you, I said it would be challenging! And you're way more crafty than I've given you credit for, considering that you've been able to go from zero to 6 on the swimming scale in just 8 challenges." Sandy says: "If it hadn't have been for Angelica Pickles, you would've NEVER kept me on after the 20th challenge!"
Otto says: "That's projecting! That's what YOU would've wished for if it hadn't have been for Angelica Pickles! Maybe that's the only difference between us! I wouldn't have minded losing against Angelica Pickles if it meant she eliminated me, the only reason I helped you get rid of her is so you'd finally trust me for not cheating. Now from what I hear you saying about me, you still think I cheat! Well, who's the bigger cheater? The cheater who asks for help by wishing her competition away when she can't win on her own, or the cheater who tries to help the cheating cheater out? I've done the math and my conscience is clear! But you might want to ask yourself, can the same thing be said about you?!" (Confessional) Sandy says: "Otto Rocket, accusing ME of not playing by the rules?! When have I ever NOT played by the rules?! Just because I use a GPS system in order to find Spongebob in a game of hide and seek, sets no precedence of me cheating in! I was just using the skills available to me, and using tools is a skill! And it's no fault of mine if a certain person doesn't know how to use a tool as well as I do! That's NOT considered cheating!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "The pool is now ready for Stimpy! Is Stimpy ready for the pool?" Stimpy says: "Always!" Fondue says: "On your mark, get set!" (Blows whistle) And Stimpy motors through the pool like a cheetah motors on land! It doesn't even take Stimpy 50 seconds before he grabs all 10 buoys! Sandy and Otto both ask: "How did he DO that?!" Sniz says: "I don't know, but that really blew my mind! Metaphorically speaking of course, and now, the scoreboard has Stimpy in the lead with 900 points, Sandy is in 2nd with 700 points, & Otto is in 3rd with 600 points!" Sandy says: "I don't understand it! What am I doing wrong?!" Stimpy says: "It's like I've said before, Sandy. You're letting your drive to win over-ride your purpose of playing this game. It shouldn't matter whether you're better than somebody else or not. What should matter is if you have fun. And from what I've seen, neither of you are having much fun." Otto says: "Only because YOU'RE winning!" Stimpy says: "I don't CARE if I win! I just want to do my best & have fun. If you think about it, that's the #1 reason why you should be playing. Don't play if you're only interested in winning, play because you want to have fun!" (Confessional) Sandy sighs: "Stimpy's right. What have I been thinking? What good is winning if it just makes me angry at Otto? I WOULD like the money, but I'd also like Spongebob to be happy that I was in the game, and I haven't exactly been the picture of impressing my boyfriend recently." / Otto sighs: "Stimpy's right. The only purpose I had of coming on this game show was to win. Why should winning be the only thing that matters to a Rocket? Shouldn't love be important as well? I still love Angelica, a lot. But I definitely haven't been displaying my love in the right way. I need to show her I can be loyal to Angelica 1st even if it means wanting to win 2nd. Maybe if I do that for her, maybe she'll do that for me. It'll definitely be a change from all those other times I've tried to impress her!" (End Confessional)
Fondue says: "What's our next event, Sniz?" Sniz says: "Our 4th event is Tornado Run. Our contestants will run across pothole pass, over steaming stream, stepping on every stone, over the jungle vine climb, through the thick fog in order to reach the finish. Whoever crosses 1st, wins!" Otto says: "Sandy, if it means anything to you, I'm sorry I called you buck-teeth along with many other insults I've probably said to you. I can't remember the rest of them, though." Sandy says: "Well, I'm sorry I accused you of cheating off your own sister. I should've waited for proof like Rocko did." (Confessional) Stimpy says: "Are Sandy and Otto ACTUALLY talking to each other and being polite just because of something I said?! I don't think I've ever done THAT before! Maybe I should try speaking to other people more often!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Fondue, let's get this show on the road!" Fondue says: "On your mark, get set!" (Blows whistle) And the 3 contestants begin running around the track! Sandy does well over pothole pass, Otto does well on the steaming stream, both of them get over the jungle vine climb well, but Stimpy's able to see through the fog the easiest and makes his way past the both of them and crosses the finish line 1st, while Sandy & Otto both cross the finish line at the exact same time! Fondue says: "This is unprecedented! According to our slow-motion camera's, Sandy & Otto both planted their feet on the ground in front of the finish time at the exact same second! That means our scoreboard still has Stimpy in the lead with 1200 points, Sandy is in 2nd with 900 points, Otto is in 3rd with 800 points!" Sniz says: "And there's just 1 more event to go! If Stimpy wins the next event, he will accomplish the rare event of achieving the perfect score!" Fondue says: "But we shouldn't count out ANYONE! It's STILL anyone's game!" (Confessional) Sandy says: "Even if I don't make it to the top 1st, if I manage to come in 2nd, I'll STILL get into the Finals." / Otto says: "Not winning the final challenge goes against everything I've been taught as a Rocket. But a perfect score? That's an opportunity I wouldn't let ANYONE pass up, not for all the money in the world! My shots of winning the finals versus Stimpy's chance of achieving a chance at an area of perfection? There's no contest. I think my choice is clear."
(End Confessional) Sniz says: "The time has come for our final event! The big, the mighty, the giant MEGA Crag! The ultimate test of skills, strength, endurance, & stamina! Our contestants will have to avoid lose rocks, erupting geysers, pointed ledges, and the verticle climb in order to get to the top! They must push 8 activator buttons before they reach the top and push the winning activator button! So whoever pushes all 8 activator buttons 1st and reaches the top in order push their own activator button without crossing into another player's path will win the Mega Crag!" Fondue says: "Are all of our contestants ready?" Sandy says: "Yeah!" Otto says: "Sure!" Stimpy says: "I'm as ready as I'll ever be!" Fondue says: "On your mark, get set!" (Blows whistle) And just like that, the 3 contestants begin the final event, all 3 players remain neck to neck as they punch all the activators and avoid all the obstacles! When they get to the verticle climb, they struggle to climb onto the ledge, but Otto begins to make his move. Otto says: "Forgive me father, but this is one time that my losing is more important so that someone more deserving can win." And Otto purposely jumps to Sandy's side, preventing her from climbing so that Stimpy can reach the top 1st, and Stimpy pushes his activator button. Otto then pushes Sandy up over the top so that she can push in 2nd, and Otto gets back on his side and push his activator button last! Sniz says: "And it's over! It's all over! All of our contestants have punched in! That was a really incredible run!" Sandy says: "Incredible?! Otto kept me from punching in 1st!" Otto says: "Are you saying that you wanted to deny Stimpy his chance of having a perfect score? It's hard enough to win a game, but to win a game with a perfect score is a TRUE testament of character, and I wanted Stimpy to have a piece of being a true competitor. He deserves it more than I did, and I made sure to disqualify myself by cheating to help you win 2nd, because I wanted to prove to you that me winning in a challenge personally doesn't have to be the only thing important to me. This is a challenge where the better contestants were going to win, and this time, you & Stimpy were the better contestants." Sandy says: "You mean you sacrificed your chance of winning $150,000 just to give US a chance of competing in the finals?" Otto says: "There'll be other challenges. And I hope to compete against you again, someday. Next time, I'll have learned more skills, be better in those skills, and try even harder than I did this time, and I hope that you'll do that to!" Sandy says: "Wow! That must be the coolest thing you've done for anyone!" Sniz says: "And with that event settled, the score is all finalized! Otto came in 3rd place with 1,175 points. In 2nd place was Sandy Cheeks with 1,450 points. And our winner today, Stimpy J. Cat with a perfect score of 1,925 points, bringing home the gold and a piece of the Mega Crag!" Fondue says: "We sure had a great performance here from everyone! Stimpy & Sandy, you've earned your place in the Finals! Otto, it's time for you to go!" Otto says: "I might have not been the best contestant this time, but I hope that I'll be remembered as the COOLEST contestant who competed on this show!" Stimpy says: "Wow. Otto looks cool even when he walks the Dock of Shame & onto the Boat of Losers!" Sandy says: "That takes SERIOUS talent! I sure hope his dad doesn't mind Otto's loss." Stimpy says: "And I hope Otto can make things right in his love relationship with Angelica Pickles!" Sandy says: "You said it!"
(Confessional) Otto says: "Definition of 'lousy?' Being a stickler for your word by NOT cheating in order to win, telling the other contestants that they performed better than you even if you think that you deserved to play, proving that you're not a total heel by helping other people to win by sacrificing your own chances of getting money, and eliminating yourself from the game in order to impress a girlfriend even at the risk of making the Rocket family name look bad. And THAT is the definition of LOUSY! (Points up to the sky) Whoever's in charge of karma, I hope this COUNTS for something!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Well, disqualifying yourself through elimination may score you a few brownie points with a potential love connection, but it DEFINITELY loses you a chance of winning $150,000. Stay tuned to see what happens in the finals of Total Cartoon Island!" Episode Notes: Otto eliminates himself from the game by disqualifying himself on purpose. Stimpy wins immunity by getting a perfect score; while Sandy and Otto finally apologize to each other. Episode Quotes: Look above! Enough said, true believers!
