Friday the 13th

**Friday the 13th** is the twenty-second episode of CartoonMania. It premiered on March 23, 2018.

## Plot

Matthew tries to prove to everybody that Friday the 13th is not an unlucky day, but Matthew is the one proven wrong.

## Detailed Plot Summary

On Friday the 13th, Matthew's characters find himself standing underneath a ladder holding both an open umbrella and a broken mirror while wearing a number 13 t-shirt with spilled salt on the ground next to him.

When asked about this, Matthew says that he wants to prove everyone wrong and that Friday the 13th is not a bad luck day after all, which terrifies his characters.

Matthew calls them gullible and reveals he has been standing for 6 hours and nothing bad has happened. Winston tells him nothing has happened yet because bad luck "only comes when [he] least expect[s] it".

Matthew, still a non-believer, starts walking away until he trips on his salt shaker. Matthew admits they are correct, takes off his number 13 shirt and continues walking away.

As he walks away, he taunts bad luck asking if it is "all [it has] got". He then trips down the staircase, launched out the window and on to the street outside. He says it yet again, and is then suddenly hit by a large truck. As the truck swerves, Matthew tumbles down a cliff where he falls into a cactus field and screams.

Once out of the field, it is revealed he is now on a mine field, a mine explodes and he is propelled into the air where a plane hits him. He falls off the plane and lands on an electrical line which electrocutes him and sends him back into his house via pipeline. Matthew says the same question again, only for an anvil to fall on his head.

Ryan jokes that there's probably more where that anvil came from. This infuriates Matthew, his face turns bright red and yells at Ryan to back off. Everyone except Victor is scared off.

Matthew angrily questions Victor, and Victor silently gives him a hug. All of his characters return in to the room to tell Matthew that they all love him.

Matthew begins to think he isn't so unlucky after all. Another anvil almost falls on his head, but Stanley catches just in time to save Matthew.
