[edit] Plot

Meatwad is playing with his dolls Vanessa and Dewey on the lawn when Master Shake suddenly pushes a lawnmower over them, shredding them to pieces, then attempts to do the same to Meatwad. Frylock takes Meatwad to the mall to buy a new doll. Meatwad wants Jiggle Billy, with the musket and the night vision goggles, but Frylock thinks he's too expensive so they purchase Happy Time Harry instead, with the red dancing shoes.

Back at home, Happy Time Harry threatens Meatwad with his right hand, which is a knife. Happy Time Harry reveals he doesn't actually dance because of a back injury and shows Meatwad his 'action bills', then lies down to take a nap. Meatwad tells Frylock that Harry is depressed, and Frylock writes out a check for $1,000,000 in 'fun money' on a Post-It. Harry tells Meatwad that what he needs is pills, to make the phone calls stop, so Frylock writes a Post-It prescription for 'jolly sunshine happiness'. Meatwad refuses to take it to Harry, and Frylock confronts Harry and discovers that he has drank all of the Aqua Teens' tequila. Master Shake comes into Meatwad's room to torture him, but Happy Time Harry and Meatwad tell Shake to just 'do' (kill) Happy Time Harry. Outside, Shake threatens to kill Harry with a blowtorch, but Harry is so gung-ho that Shake just can't do it.

Frylock purchases Jiggle Billy after all, but even his belly jiggling can't cheer up Meatwad and Happy Time. Outside, Meatwad, Jiggle Billy, and Happy Time Harry play, but Happy Time brings Jiggle Billy to such an emotional low that he blows his own head off with his musket, though he lives through it. Frylock threatens to kill Happy Time, but Shake instead says they will make Happy Time immortal ('Highlander-style') by tossing him off a cliff.

The Aqua Teens stand atop a cliff, and Shake tosses Happy Time somewhere far below. Shake then jumps off the cliff, thinking he's immortal, but his straw catches on a branch and he decides he isn't. Some time later, Shake comes out of traction, rides up to Frylock and Meatwad in a wheelchair, then is struck by lightning when he lofts a magical 'Highlander sword'.

[edit] Cultural references

  • Shake tries to turn Happy Time Harry into an Immortal from the film Highlander by throwing him off a cliff. At the end of the episode, Shake lifts a sword and says "There can be only one", a line from the film.
