## Plot

It's starts At Pizza's diner, with Pizza handing out Tater Tot his meal, Tater Tot announces that he's making a new movie and is in need for someone who is naturally funny for the role of sidekick, Meanwhile In the same restaurant, Apple, Onion, Hotdog, and Burger (Who appears to be eating his food in a messy manner; Making the gang feel uneasy) are having lunch. Burger asks them if they have something to say to which they (Except Apple) decline, Pizza walks in and asks them if they need anything else, Apple barely get's a word in due to Burger's sloppy and loud eating, This pushes Apple enough to tell him to eat his food more quietly which makes the everyone gasp (Except Apple), He forgets what he was going to order and begins to Describe Burger as a pig which makes everyone gasp once again until they laugh because they found the insult funny, Tater Tot walks to Apple; telling him that he wants him for the role of the funny sidekick, He tells him to bring his funny formula, then they exit the restaurant; leaving the gang excited Albeit Apple doesn't know what a Funny formula is.

Onion demonstrates to him what a funny formula is, Which is an equation about what makes Apple funny, The formula contains "Say things exactly as you see them, Unaware of the rules of society, Without any meanness", Apple believes the formula will work, They wait for an opportunity to test until Falafel walks in; thus making an opportunity, Falafel walks in with a good mood for the first time in one year. He comes to finally fix the floorboard, Apple suddenly notices Falafels bad breath and remembers the formula, he rants this out to Falafel; Telling him that he's breath stinks, How no ones ever told him because of how embarrassing it would be, without trying to offend him, but Falafel ends up getting offended anyway and walks away leaving Apple and Onion confused on what just happened, They wonder if the same thing would happen to the movie people. They are now completely baffled on what to do until Onion figures it out.

They are now at the dollar store, Onion adds ventriloquism to to the formula, they test the new formula on Patty by using a Mouse puppet. Cut to Patty cleaning the counter. The mouse puppet appears and starts saying that Patty only sells rubbish junk and that he wouldn't buy her one dollar cheese while trying not to offend, But she ends up beating up the puppet with a broom.

They decide to remove ventriloquism from the formula by multiplying it against itself and adding Physical Comedy, Cut to the park where Cheesesteak is walking on the sidewalk, Apple test's the formula on him by saying that he has melted cheese on his head and that he wants to eat it without trying to be mean which scares Cheesesteak, He even forces him to step on the rake and asks him if it was funny. Eventually this lands him and Onion in the hospital, Despite Onion questioning why Cheesesteak had to beat him up too.

They permanently remove Physical Comedy from the formula, They come up with Impressions and add it to the formula, He start's with Onion and after A few attempts he says something without offending him, Cut to the streets where Apple impersonates a police officer and begins to Apprehend a bird for feeling inferior to it, Chicken Nugget walks in and Arrests him for impersonating a police officer along with Onion for encouraging Apple to impersonate a police officer.

They are now in jail, They are now convinced that it's hopeless, Beef Jerky asks them what's wrong, Apple tells him about the formula that made him funny and draws it on the wall, Onion says that they need to fix his formula before Apple's audition, Beef Jerky notices what's wrong with the formula which is the "S", Beef Jerky advices them to say the exact opposite of what he sees, They escape out of prison through the toilet, Suddenly; the wall that Apple wrote the formula on falls apart due to Beef Jerky turning the "S" around, He rebuilds it.

Meanwhile, At T. Tot studios; Apple has arrived to use his new formula on Tater Tot and Croissant, He tries not to offend everyone by saying the exact opposite of what he sees but when he ends it by saying that Tater Tot never gets mistaken "Small insignificant rubbish smelly tiny cheese" they have eventually seen enough and say that they will call Apple.

Eventually, Apple receives a phone call, Apple tells Onion that he didn't get the part and that he made them all angry and wasn't funny and incredibly offensive, He wishes that he could go back to a world with no formulas, He begins to remember the times he was just what he was with an accompanied song. In the end he apologizes to everyone he offended and thanks them for coming to see who got the part for Tater Tot's sidekick, Which was revealed to be Chicken Nugget.
