## Synopsis

At the park during a family picnic, Mike gets bored and decides to go on a hike in the woods. Connor wants to come, but Mike refuses to bring him along and eventually changes his mind. Mark tells them to meet him and Mary back in the park in an hour. During the hike, Connor gets tired and warns Mike about the woods being a scary atmosphere called the Forest of Doom, where the forest monsters live, in which he got from the Internet. Mike doesn't believe him and they continue walking until they decide to go back a half-hour later.

The two of them don't know which trail they came from and they get lost. They set up camp and sit in front of a fire, and Connor hears spooky noises in the background. Mike believes that there is a record player in this part of the woods and still doesn't believe Connor's words about the Forest of Doom. He thinks Connor got that from Creepypasta, in which Connor remembered that he got it from there. Mike gets mad at him for this, and Connor suddenly gets hungry. Connor didn't bring any food, and Mike didn't either, because the latter wanted this to be a quick hike.

Connor slowly goes insane in hunger, and hallucinates that Mike is a chocolate lollipop with three strawberry twizzlers on top. He tries to eat Mike in a fight cloud, and eats his clothes instead. Mike notices this and gets mad at him for doing this to him. Mike ditches Connor and goes to find his way back on his own, but ends up falling off a cliff and bumping into the forest monsters: a lion, a tiger, and a bear. Mike gets scared and realizes that Connor was right.

Connor arrives to beat up the monsters and save Mike. Mike is happy that Connor came back to save him, and the two apologize for their actions. When they were about to leave, they get stopped by the park ranger, who reveals that the monsters were actually animatronics and that the Forest of Doom is an attraction for the tourists, which means Mike was right all along. The ranger also tells them that they have to pay a big fine of 500 thousand dollars for the destruction of the animatronics. Mike pays him with the sack of cash and says that he hates nature, ending the episode.

## Trivia/Goofs

* This episode is based on *The Amazing World of Gumball* episode: "The Picnic" and the *Mercy's Meeting* parody episode of the same name and the remakes of that parody.
* This is the first episode to be co-written and requested by Jordan Anthony Treloar. He also requested episodes for *Mercy's Meeting*.
* This episode spawned a *Mercy's Meeting* parody remake of it, which is episode 282 (part 2) of Mercy's Meeting With Futt, Hands And Friends.
* This is the first episode to contain censorship of nudity and inappropriate gestures. In this case, Mike's private parts are blocked out with a black bar.
* In one part, Mike flips Connor the middle finger, but is censored with a black bar just to make the show "rated TV-14".
	+ There exists an uncensored version of this episode, with the middle finger shown uncensored. It can be found on the episode's reupload on *M-Pack*'s sister YouTube channel, the official *Ballbuster Animation* YouTube channel. Michael Pakenham also made a DVD, consisting of the first 20 episodes of the series, titled Volume One, which contains the uncensored version of the episode on there.
* In the same scene, Mike says "Screw you, Connor! I'm going home!", which is a reference to Eric Cartman's catchphrase "Screw you, guys! I'm going home!" in the adult animated series, *South Park*.
* Mike uses the same sack of cash he found and kept in "Mike the Hero" to pay the forest ranger for destroying the monster animatronics.
* Connor mentions that the Forest of Doom has lions, tigers, and bears, and Mike sarcastically saying "Oh my!" is a reference to the 1939 film, *The Wizard of Oz*.
* The internet term, *Creepypasta*, is mentioned in this episode.
* The liquorish candy, Twizzlers, are also mentioned in this episode.
* This is the second time Mike is shown naked. The first is "Mike's Lagoon".
* **Goof:** When Mike pays the ranger and says "I hate nature", the ranger's ear is missing.
