The Jellyfishing

"**The Jellyfishing**" is an Antonio Cool Guy episode from season one. In this episode, Antonio and his squad take Joseph jellyfishing. It is based off of the Spongebob Squarepants episode “**Jellyfishing**“

## Plot

The episode begins with a jellyfish swimming by Besse Park, the swims by the lake that Antonio lives near where Antonio and the squad then observe it through a massive telescope protruding from a window in Antonio’s house. They then slide down ropes (causing them to get rope burn) and put their jellyfish nets together, and Antonio puts on his gloves. They prepare for jellyfishing like a pro, but then meet Joseph and ask him if he wants to join them. He says that he can't go with them because he is "busy" and goes motorcycling instead. Antonio asks Joseph if he can join them next time. Joseph sarcastically says yes and goes down the road.

Unfortunately, while he is biking, Joseph has an accident involving a wasp and gets his legs tangled in his bike's pedals, causing him to veer out of control and he tumbles down a cliff--then inexplicably explodes when he hits the bottom--leaving him ultimately wheelchair bound. Antonio and the squad decide that what Joseph needs is a "Best Day Ever." It begins at Joseph’s House house where Boonsong offers Joseph some steak. (For whatever reason, the doctors put bandages all over Joseph’s body, including his mouth). Boonsong blows the hot steak juice onto Joe’s bandaged face several times before Antonio says that steak isn't a good idea. Antonio then suggests that some Adam Sandler would be good, and gets Joseph’s phone. He plays the one where it says, “hot water bad for baby” before realizing that this is an inappropriate one and tries to search for a clean one while also realizing that his lips are dry, and goes through several disgusting motions of trying to wet his lips and tries to look for a clean Adam Sandler. A disgusted Warren takes the phone from Antonio, declaring Adam Sandler not to be a good thing for Joseph either.

Antonio, Boon, Warren, Kayden, Jaison, and Andrew then declare that a Jellyfishing expedition would be in order for the "Best Day Ever." They then go to Besse Park, Antonio tells Boon to give a net to Joseph, while he finds "a good specimen." Boon explains that Joe must, "firmly grasp [the net] it in your hand," but when Boon fails to put a jellyfishing net in Joseph’s cast-covered hand, he gets frustrated and he stabs it through Joseph’s palm, much to his chagrin and pain.

He is not into it at first, but when a jellyfish stings him, he goes after it for revenge. He manages to catch the jellyfish and bangs his net triumphantly against a squishy mass, but in doing so, he angers a king jellyfish, who was the aforementioned squishy mass. The king jellyfish chases after him, attacking him with an extremely massive sting.

The next day, the squad, covered in band-aids meet outside Joseph’s house house and attempt to give a now life-support-bound Joseph the jellyfish they caught the previous day. Antonio wonder if Joseph is still mad, and Joseph, who is still mad, according to Boon based on his actions, opens the jar and lets the jellyfish sting the squad, but not before the jellyfish summons the King Jellyfish. As Joseph laughs, the King Jellyfish stings him again, destroying his life-support. A completely blackened Joseph can only say "Ow" as the episode ends.
