## Summary

The Doodlebops were very hungry for a snack, and when Moe opened the fridge, he found cauliflower to share with Deedee and Rooney. The latter does not want to eat the cauliflower because he does not like it. Catch is, he has never even tried it. Mazz comes in and Deedee and Moe sing "Cauliflower". Rooney still refuses to eat cauliflower after being offered variations of it and decides to go outside.

Outside, Rooney tries to skateboard and seems to enjoy it. Then, Bus Driver Bob picks them up and Rooney does not want to leave.

On their way to the concert, Deedee handed Rooney a "cauliflower milkshake", but Rooney declined and Moe takes it and drinks it. Bus Driver Bob takes the Doodlebops to the "cauliflower forest", but Rooney tells Bob that "everyone was trying to make [him] eat cauliflower", but Bob says, "They were just trying to do you a favor". Rooney thinks that trying new things is fun.

When the Doodlebops arrive at the venue, Moe comes out of the bus as the "Cauliflower Emperor" (which is "the silliest thing", according to Rooney) and shouts "ALL HAIL THE EMPEROR!". On stage before the show begins, Rooney tries the cauliflower after he tells Deedee and Moe to stop mentioning the word "cauliflower" and leave him alone when he tries to eat it. He bites it and says, "That's not half bad!" and Deedee says, "We were just trying to help." Then the show begins with the "Cauliflower" song. Before "Let's Jump", Mazz gives Bus Driver Bob some cauliflower, but Bob declines and tells her that he does not like it, even though he has never tried it.

## Trivia

* **Where's Moe?****:** Moe hides under the table; the "table" is strapped to his back.
	+ He would later hide under the table again in All Aboard the Doodle Train with a small toy train on the table.
* **Running gag:** Deedee and Moe convince Rooney to eat cauliflower, several times.
* The songs that were sung during the concert were Cauliflower, Let's Jump, She's Queen for a Day and Thank You. This causes Jumping Judy to debut in this episode.
	+ This is the first episode to have three songs sung at the concert. The first episode with four songs sung at the concert will be the next episode: All Together Now.
* Deedee's knock-knock joke was shown before Queen for a Day for unknown reasons.
* The fourth wall is broken when Rooney encounters a penguin that is upside down. Rooney asks the penguin why it's upside down, to where the penguin answers "I'm not upside down, *you're* upside down!" which causes the screen to flip 180 degrees to make it look like Rooney is upside down and the penguin is right-side up. He then thinks that the penguin is upside down and that it's just fooling with him, which causes the screen to flip 180 degrees again so that it's back to the regular format. The penguin then falls.
* It is possible for the Doodlebops to have stunt doubles when they were skateboarding. It's currently unknown if they did.
