[edit] Synopsis
[edit] Cold open
Dr. Weird shows off his rainbow machine. The lights suddenly go dark as we see the rainbow taken from the lab. Dr. Weird ponders how someone could have penetrated his impenetrable fortress, although it's quite obvious that they came in through a giant Rabbot-shaped hole in the wall.
[edit] Plot
Master Shake asks Frylock to look up what kinds of acid dissolve meat, to Meatwad's dismay. Frylock then receives an email telling him to go to the park and step into a rainbow to make him rich with gold, and also to forward the email to 20 other people. While Frylock wonders who would be stupid enough to fall for this, we see Carl in the park waiting impatiently for the rainbow.
Three leprechauns, Flargon, Dingle, and Merle, are seen in a nearby forest carrying out a plan to use a rainbow machine to rob people, but it appears the only things they have robbed people of is their shoes and a Bananarama tape, sans case. They spot Carl waiting for the rainbow, and engage the machine, which sucks Carl to the forest, where the leprechauns mug him for his gold chain.
Shake and Frylock are swimming in Carl's pool, when Carl comes out of the sky. Carl tells Frylock what happened, and Frylock insists that they investigate, to which Shake reluctantly agrees to. The rainbow appears, and Shake runs into it. Frylock uses his Frydar to find Shake, and Meatwad immediately claims a pair of roller skates and the Bananarama tape.
Frylock discovers what the Leprechauns are doing, and Shake takes credit for it as he was there first. When the leprechauns try to use the machine on Frylock, he blows it up. With the machine destroyed, the leprechauns flatly deny doing it, which Shake believes after finding Carl's gold chain. Meatwad explains that they don't need a machine to create a rainbow, since rainbows come from "happy thoughts, dreams, chocolate unicorns, gumdrops, licorice sunsets, and fuzzy gumdrop bears in gumdrop land." The leprechauns escape, which Shake blames on Frylock for "trying to frame them".
Shake explains to Carl that the case is unsolved, but is questioned regarding Carl's chain, which is hanging from Shake's straw. Meatwad shushes Shake so he can try to sleep and dream of the rainbow, when a rainbow appears on Carl's house and tears it from its foundation, and bringing it to the leprechauns, crushing them. The episode ends with Carl chasing Master Shake.
[edit] Notes
- The shark that appears during Meatwad's speech was originally from a Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Kentucky Nightmare" (which is a rewrite of "Baffler Meal", the SGC2C episode which is regarded as the origin of Aqua Teen Hunger Force). The shark later became a recurring character on the Williams Street series 12 oz. Mouse.
- Flargon later appeared on the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed."[1]
