Plot[]

Captainlump

Captain Lumpy doesn't realize that the ship is stuck.

Captain Lumpy captains a ship that Russell, Toothy, Flaky, Cuddles, and Giggles party and relax on. Suddenly, the ship comes to a complete stop, as they are now surrounded by ice in an Arctic climate. Lumpy, to everybody's awe, fires off a signal flare. As everybody stares in awe at the flare, the flare unexpectedly lands in the ship, setting it on fire. With the ship burning fast, everybody jumps off for their safety.

Aflare

Lumpy shoots the flare!

Hours later, when the ship has burnt completely, the group searches through survival boxes for supplies. Russell finds a spatula, but this doesn't amuse him. Flaky finds a garden gnome. These items are not very helpful. Luckily for them, Giggles finds a can of beans. Unfortunately, as she heads back to the group to deliver the good news, her utterances of excitement come to an abrupt halt when the ship's mast falls on top of her, crushing her and scaring the others.

The others huddle around a small fire, freezing and starving. They spot the can of beans in the clutch of the dead Giggles' hand (with most of the fur on the hand burnt away, revealing her finger bones), and deciding she's the least likely to refuse, everybody pushes Flaky forward to grab it. Flaky begins panicking as she gets closer and closer to the lifeless limb, and becomes even more scared when Giggles' hand breaks off from her dead arm. Seeing this, Flaky begins yelling in panic, quickly grabs the can, and tosses it away, where Toothy catches it. Toothy attempts to pull off the top of the can, but that doesn't succeed, so he attempts to open it with his teeth, but only succeeds by chipping one of his buckteeth, which makes him scream in pain. Lumpy looks inside one of the crates and finds a mechanical can opener. Toothy puts the can in the can opener, and nothing happens. Lumpy realizes that the can opener is electrical and it requires to be plugged in, so Lumpy leaves with the plug so he can find a power source. Toothy and Cuddles begin to wave him off.

SPTG Cuddles sad

Cuddles is depressed over his friend's misery.

More time passes and as Russell's stomach rumbles, he spots a fishing pole near one of the crates. Meanwhile, Toothy prepares to eat snow in the shape of a burger, trying to convince himself it will taste good. Upon biting into it, however, the exposed nerves of his chipped tooth are irritated by the temperature of the snow and he screams in pain again. Cuddles watches his friend sadly but perks up when he finds a small saw in one of the crates.

Cuddles cuts a circle in the ice and tosses the saw away, almost hitting Toothy with it. Cuddles dunks his head in the water in hopes to catch some fish, but then his body becomes erect, then goes limp. Toothy gets concerned when Cuddles doesn't move, so he decides to pull Cuddles out. Suddenly, it is revealed that the top half of Cuddles' body is now gone. The sight of Cuddles' dead body makes Toothy scream in horror, and when he looks into the hole and sees the eye of an orca, Toothy runs away in a panic.

When Russell sees Toothy running away from the hole, Russell decides to throw his fishing line into the hole to catch some fish, completely unaware of the reason why Toothy was running. Flaky, who stands nearby, has begun to go crazy from their situation, singing a lullaby to the garden gnome she found earlier. Russell fails several times at getting the hook in the hole (for unknown reasons why he doesn't walk closer to the hole instead), so he throws the pole back hard to get more power in his cast. The hook, however, gets caught on Toothy's wrist and as Russell tries to cast the line, Toothy's veins and arteries are pulled out of his body (which scream before collapsing). Russell then screams at what he has done to Toothy.

Tailwatergoof

Russell struggles to stay on land.

Flaky sees Toothy's dead body and backs away in fear, slipping on the ice and falling on her back. Her quills remain erect as she falls and become stuck to the ice. The gnome she was carrying falls into the ice and causes it to begin cracking, splitting the ground into numerous small chunks of ice, all of which immediately sink into the water. The chunk of ice Flaky is stuck to spins over twice, dunking her in the water and then re-exposing her to the air. However, during the third rotation, only her quills come up as a pool of blood forms under the ice.

Russell, seeing the orca's fin in the water, begins panicking and tries to row away on his chunk of ice using the rubber spatula he found earlier. As a panicking Russell rows away, the iceberg he's standing on begins melting rapidly, until he can only use one of his pegs to stand above the water. As Russell begins to pray for safety, he suddenly stops, and when he opens his eye, it turns out he made it to a desert island. As he cheers at his good fortune, the orca suddenly pops out of the water, and bites Russell in half, killing him instantly. Then the orca starts sucking up his intestines like a piece of spaghetti and then eats his other half. Then the orca submerges back in the water.

Not long after Russell's death, a chunk of ice with the electric can opener floats up to the island. As the iris closes in on the can opener, the can opener suddenly activates, hinting that Lumpy made it back to civilization.

Goofs[]

  1. Flaky and Toothy are more co-stars than featuring characters.
  2. At the start of the episode, Giggles' voice can be heard, even though her mouth isn't moving.
  3. In the beginning, Cuddles has sunglasses on. However, when they look over the edge of the ship, Cuddles' shades are gone, it is likely however that he took them off so he could see better.
  4. It is unknown why Russell wasn't steering the ship, being way more experienced, and more intelligent then Lumpy. This also occurred in Idol Curiosity where The Mole is seen doing this instead of Russell.
  5. The flare that Lumpy fires flies past the boat, but it lands on the boat. It's possible, however, that the wind blew it backwards.
  6. Russell flipped off the burning ship, yet his hat stayed on his head.
  7. Giggles is nowhere near the boat when the mast falls on her.
  8. Giggles' blood is orange when she dies.
  9. The mast that fell on Giggles was on fire, even though the boat had stopped burning.
  10. Cuddles and Toothy change positions as they wave goodbye to Lumpy.
  11. For most of the episode, Lumpy's right antler points up and his left antler points down. In his last shot, his left antler points up and his right antler points down.
  12. Before Cuddles jumped into the hole he cut out, his left ear is layered over his tuft of hair.
    Cuddesandthefish

    Cuddles' further ear is layered over his tuft of hair.

  13. Cuddles only dunked his head in the water, but when Toothy pulled him out, his whole upper body right down to his torso has vanished, meaning that Cuddles' torso shrank.
  14. Cuddles' corpse is missing when Toothy looks into the hole and sees the orca.
  15. When Toothy looks into the hole Cuddles cut in the ice, he sees the orca's eye. When the shot changes to show the orca under water, however, its nose is almost up against the hole.
  16. After Toothy's veins are pulled out, there's blood on his face, but in the next shot however, the blood is gone.
  17. Toothy's corpse disappears when the ice starts breaking.
  18. It doesn't make much sense that Flaky's garden gnome made the ice crack, but the saw that Cuddles threw onto the ice didn't.
  19. When the garden gnome sinks through the ice, Flaky is missing most of her dandruff flakes.
  20. It doesn't make sense that all of the ice sank instantly, except for the ones that had extra weight on them, such as the ice that carried Flaky and Russell, when technically even ice of that weight is buoyant and is very difficult to sink.
  21. Layering error: When the ice cracks, a splash of water is layered underneath Russell's tail.
  22. Judging by the speed Russell's iceberg was shrinking, it should have melted completely before Russell got to land.
  23. Russell's position on the island is impossible, since the block of ice he was standing on has seemingly melted completely in the middle of the sand instead of the edge of the ocean. One should also note that the shore is slanted at an angle, so it should have been impossible for Russell's block of ice to ride up the sand.
  24. A plank of wood does not have its reflection visible in the water in the end.
  25. It isn't possible for the extension cord of the can opener to be as long as it was in the episode. Even then, the extension cord was partially underwater and shouldn't work then.
  26. The orca's appearance is massively huge similar to that of a blue whale which no real orca would have a size like the one in this episode.
