## Plot

The episode begins as Woody flies into a shopping trolly. As he monologues over spring break, Oofdy slips into a jacuzzi and Sgt Dummy rests nearby. Someone then circles "April Fool's day" on the calendar, catching Woody's attention as well as Jacob's.

Sgt Dummy and Jacob talk about spring break and discuss about what to do with HappyTown. Woody enters the room to say that his show would replace HappyTown, only for Sgt Dummy to mention his show and Jacob mentioning the episode they are already in, thus breaking the fourth wall. Sgt Dummy walks off, only to fall into a hole that Jacob later picks up and looks at. The hole gets revealed as black ink on paper as well as a pun on the back.

Jacob then walks around and deciding to watch a movie. He finds his DVD copy of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and pops in a fake disc. In excitement, Jacob pops it in only for the HappyTown intro to play in **reverse**. In response, he throws the DVD away and immensely scratches it. Woody walks in and is surprised but then hears a knock on the door. Chef Charley is revealed but then Woody sees that it is Sgt Dummy in disguise. This leads to Woody performing an BSOD prank on Jacob's computer. The actual Chef Charley storms in and warns Woody that Jacob could "snap" if he finds out.

Snowball then stops by after finding out, right as Jacob walks into the room and becoming shocked. Woody reveals himself as Oofdy in response , surprising Jacob and Sgt Dummy. Lillian, ticked off at Oofdy, then storms in, wondering where Sgt Dummy and Jacob are. Sgt Dummy tells her that he and Jacob got the BSOD, leading into a remix of the prank. After she leaves, Jacob happily thanks her ("what are true BFFs for?") and then pushes a key, leading into an explosion. Oofdy and Sgt Dummy begin fighting after they've been blown out into the garden. Jacob, unsurprisingly angry, questions Sgt Dummy and Oofdy on who thought a BSOD prank is a good idea, as we cut to Snowball and Lime Swirl wishing the audience an "awesome month" as well as April Fool's.

## Release

This episode was released a day before April Fool's Day, despite being scheduled to originally air on that day (April 1st, 2020; a month after S1E3 aired).

## Trivia

* This episode is the April Fools Day special.
* The intro that plays in reverse is the version from "A Click of A Button (S1E1)"
* The remix Lillian shows near the end of the episode is a reference to a scene from Hotel Transylvania 2, in which Mavis gets mad and shows Dracula a humorous remix. A picture of Kiki (played by Jodie Resther) from Are You Afraid of The Dark is also briefly shown in the aforementioned remix in the episode.
* The explosion clip shown near the end is from SpongeBob Squarepants.
* The DVD for the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou" is shown because it is one of Jacob's favourite films, ever since first viewing while S1E3 was still in the works.
