## Synopsis

After the Air Raid's initial result, bad as usual, the zombies are not working. Most of them. The Doctor instead has a new plan: Little Zombies.

## Plot

The episode begins with Zomboss commenting on the incompetency of everybody. Coney points out that some of them did really well, yet all are labeled failures, questioning Zomboss's logic. Zomboss replies by saying he'll lose his life if he makes one more peep, and if he wants that, with Coney adding "you bet I do!"; Zomboss then tosses him aside, only for Coney to reveal he stole Zomboss's pants and run off to the mall to sell them. Zomboss then notices his lack of pants, as Head Zombie points out he hasn't worn pants "for like, 20 something episodes," only for Zomboss to say he doesn't need his second opinion. Norm wonders why Zomboss summoned them if they were all failures, with Zomboss explaining he has a new group of zombies to introduce and asks Wilhelm to do it. Meanwhile, Arnold & Jocky get into an argument, with Jocky noting how Arnold was "owned" by the Puffshrooms in the last episode, before an imp is thrown at them to shut them up.

Wilhelm stands before a group of little zombies, and comments, "big trouble, meet little zombies", with Zomboss admitting that in the case of big trouble, he cloned Little Fry 7 times over. Ed interrupts, wanting his pig to be part of the battle, as "he gonna bring home the bacon," which Zomboss agrees to, much to Ed's happiness. Head Zombie then decides to show off his latest machine (well, not really a machine) the Chompinator, and is upset about the lack of dramatic music for the reveal, providing his own. Zomboss replies that was so stupid he thinks it gave him cancer, then says Head Zombie isn't going anyway, only the little zombies, Wilhelm, Ed & his pig, and Ducktube "because he's kind of nice," (causing Ducktube to be happy he was noticed by "Zomboss sempai"). Snorkeler then points out he would have an advantage and should be allowed to go, and Norm appears with a surfboard, wanting to go as well, to which Zomboss agrees. Several of the zombies, including Zombotany's 1 & 2, Pirate, Duckweed (until he learns he's going as well), Newspaper, & Ra all comment on having a day off.

With the plants, Bloomerang is about to address them before Peashooter wonders who made him leader, with Bloomerang admitting he did so himself "about 3 episodes ago." Sunny then noted that Sunflowerstein originally put Peashooter in charge, with Bloomerang adding that he doesn't need help from a "measly little Peashooter," to which the latter wonders if he's trying to pick a fight. Paco comments they're getting into a "fan war," which she wants to watch, and the various plants chant for the fight between the two rivals, as Lightning Reed provides commentary (although he later complains about the camera not being focused on him). Split Pea interrupts the fight to reveal the zombies have arrived, and Dolan is ordered to do something, but all he can do is laugh and repeat the words. Mr. Coconut then wonders where Potato Mine is, with Bonk Choy noting he hasn't been seen since Jocky the Football Zombie (episode). Potato Mine then appears, now much bigger, noting the mushroom he ate caused him to grow and also says the "oh no, the zombies are coming" line, since everyone else is fighting.

Snorkeler begins the attack for the zombies, but Potato Mine uses Plant Food and blows him up (which Dr. Zomboss somehow senses). Sunny then summons Lily Pad, who has Paco ride him in the pool. Peashooter then wonders where the Cattails are, with Bloomerang replying that he felt they didn't need them, and Peashooter beating him up and calling him out for his dumb decision. Sunny then orders Reed & Rodger to do something useful, so they take up position by the fence; Rodger initially doesn't want to do anything, but Reed threatens to leak baby photos of him to "Rootbook" if he doesn't. Reed & Rodger then use their attacks on Pirate, but it has little effect, and he claims he is "invincible"; seeing this, Peashooter questions why the two were chosen (since they are some of the weakest plants) and sends in Split Pea. In the pool, Norm surfs "a gnarly wave" on his surfboard until Paco takes him out.

Wilhelm, meanwhile, is ordered by Zomboss to lead the chickens against the plants, with Reed saying it's "time to roast up some KFC!" and using his lightning powers to defeat them (with Coney noting to Zomboss they are out of ammo, much to his annoyance). As Ducktube gets in the pool, Kernel-Pult is ordered to man Dolan, and uses it to take out Pirate; meanwhile, Bonk Choy is sent into battle, but only makes it a small amount before stopping due to being tired. Reed then chastises his brother for them not having killed any zombies, with Rodger mentioning that he doesn't yell at Reed when he fails and tells him to "piss off."

Duckweed then jumps into the pool, while Ducktube goes after Paco, who mentions she will "mess you up" and manages to take him down; after Wilhelm is blown up by Potato Mine, Zomboss sends in Ed and his pig to attack. In the pool, Duckweed manages to get the drop on Paco and grabs her, taking out both her and Lily Pad. Seeing this, Kernel-Pult uses Dolan again; as Duckweed comments that taking out the two plants has to increase his importance, he notices the corn, which blows him out of the pool and over the fence.

Back with the zombies, Coney suggests that Zomboss "smoke weed everyday," to which he asks if Coney's been on the Internet too long. Zomboss then laments that MLG is taking over Coney's brain, then remembers he doesn't have a brain, so it's taking over whatever is in his head. Zomboss then orders Head Zombie to use the Chompinator.

Back with the plants, Ed and his pig are running around, yelling "squeal like a pig" which Split Pea thinks is appropriate, since he likes that movie (referring to *Deliverance,* where that line comes from) before shooting the pig, sending Ed flying. As Sunny congratulates the plants, Peashooter tells Bloomerang to make himself useful and stop Ed (Bloomerang wonders if this means he's the leader again, but Peashooter tells him "no"). Bloomerang manages to take Ed down (who wonders why he went down so easy) when Split Pea reminds him he is still there; however, Ed's Pig comes by and eats him. Reed then tells Rodger he can redeem himself by taking out the pig and making it into "Christmas smoked bacon"; Rodger claims that is "racist" with Reed wondering how it's racist if he is right and, not liking Rodger's response, throws him over the pool, where he manages to kill the Pig with Thundercloud.

Elsewhere, Coney comments that he still has Zomboss's pants, and is sent back to the lab. Zomboss then has Disco summon the EEE's who attack Reed; Reed wonders "is this the end of Reed?" (referring to the famous last line of *Little Caesar*) and manages to shock one, but is eaten by another. Peashooter then wonders why there are so many little zombies, saying he thought there were only five, but Chomper reveals there were more. Mr. Coconut wonders why they don't talk like Little Fry, and Wall-nut explains how the cloning process caused them to be flawed, and that's why plants aren't rushed to creation, adding "right Bloomerang?" who replies yes, albeit nervously. The EEE's attack Rodger, who hates them, until he learns they killed Reed, happily shouting "have my babies!" before they kill him. Rodger then says he can die happy since Reed is dead, until Peashooter notes he'll just come back the next episode, causing Rodger to yell "f\*ck!" in response.

Bonk Choy then battles several of the EEE's, claiming they seem obsessed with the letter "F." After one of them nearly drowns, another EEE gives him CPR and saves him; this causes Sunny to tell Kernel-Pult how she likes their sense of teamwork, with Peashooter saying he'd like it more if they weren't zombies trying to kill them. Noting that Wall-nut has done nothing, Peashooter orders him in, and he takes out several EEE's until one jumps at Wall-nut, causing him to yell "*Shining* reference!" before Bonk Choy fights it off, telling it to quit obsessing over the letter F. Disco comments on how good the EEE's are, before meeting a really stupid one. Back with the plants, two more EEE's attack Wall-nut, but Bonk Choy defeats them, causing Disco to vow revenge; as both Dolan and Mr. Coconut want to prove their worth, Peashooter sends in Chomper, who eats the stupider EEE, causing the remaining one to attempt to flee, until Bonk Choy punches him aside, taking them all out.

Head Zombie then appears with the Chompinator, but it eats the EEE's instead. Disco then appears, and is promptly blown up by Dolan (with "Michael Bay" heard during the explosion). Little Fry then tries to take a stand for his fallen brothers, but is also eaten, as is Potato Mine, whose explosion doesn't faze the Chompinator. Bonk Choy then mentions he doesn't remember the Chompinator being able to talk in *Skylanders,* but is told this is a different take on the character. Mr. Coconut fires his "Mega Ball" at it, which causes it to retreat, and eat Head Zombie before it does, despite his protests.

Peashooter and the plants then celebrate the victory, congratulating Mr. Coconut especially. Dolan wonders if they zombies may try a new attack next time, but Kernel-Pult assures him he's "the best guy on the team" and will hit them with a corn blast if they try anything, then suggests they both rest, ending the episode.

## Trivia

* Disclaimers begin starting from here. LuigiFan00001, in the beginning of the video and in the video description, explicitly gives viewers a heads-up on the sound effects and language on what is going to happen. Unfortunately, not everybody heeds the warnings.
* This is Potato Mine's debut as a plush, as he had been portrayed by a toy in his previous appearances.
