## Overview

Episode 1 begins where we see the show's title as we adventure through the whole kitchen before seeing 3 puppets, Red Guy, Yellow Guy Gribbleston and Duck at the table. Suddenly, Paige the Sketchbook appears and asks what their favorite idea is. Paige keeps talking to the puppets about how to think creatively like this orange which on the outside looks boring but in Paige's view, it has a smiley face. The puppets don't understand so Paige tries to use her hair for an example, saying how it helps her express herself. They then look in the clouds and Sketchbook asks if looking in the clouds is exciting, in which they say no. The Sketchbook tells them to take another look, which makes them see various forms of things. The Sketchbook thinks their getting the hang of it, but when Yellow Guy draws a clown, she tells him to slow it down as black goo flows down the painting. She gives another good tip by using leaves and sticks to arrange them into their favorite color like blue and red. When Yellow Guy arrange them into green, he's told green isn't a creative color. She gives one more tip by listening to your heart, the rain, and the voices in your brain to get creative. It escalates quickly and the puppets begin doing some weird and gruesome activity like decorating a heart with glitter, eating cake with organs inside, and spelling the word death. The Sketchbook then comes to the conclusion to not be creative again.

Episode 2 begins with the show's title, and we see our main puppets waiting for 5 minutes until their show turns on. When Duck says that's not enough time, the clock says there's time for a song. Tony the Talking Clock explains to them how time works. It's a schedule to do things like take baths. Time is also a router to measure the day. They then go into space and when Red Guy defies Tony to go to Time, he tells Red Guy to not be stupid. They then traverse into the old days and Tony tells them time goes by fast when having fun, but ruins Duck's fun by destroying his cards. Red Guy's fun is camping while Yellow Guy is friends with his dad, Roy. When Red Guy ask what happened after the old days, Tony explains everything we have nowadays like computers and email addresses. They then begin understanding the importance of time but asks multiple questions about the time, which fumes Tony and makes his clock beeps louder and louder until ears bleed. Tony says he finds it weird that time changes your appearance, which makes Duck, Yellow Guy, and Red Guy slowly closer the death. Their skin ends up melting and decaying they pleads to make it stop. Tony says he has no control over it since he's just a clock so they should be fine because their time will eventually run out, as Red Guy cuts the television off.

Episode 3 begins with the show's title as we pass by a missing poster with our 3 protagonists. We then see them sitting down at a picnic as Red Guy enjoys the beautiful hot day. Duck showcases the raw chicken he brought for the picnic but is even worsened when he hits an animated butterfly with a flyswatter, a butterfly Yellow Guy enjoyed. Yellow Guy cries off to a tree branch and hears the voice of a little baby pigeon named Shrignold, who sings about the questions he asks Yellow Guy. He speaks about the value of hatred and that we can live in "harmony". Shrignold says they can learn about love together, and when Yellow Guy says he feels tingly, Shrignold tells him that's love. Yellow Guy ends up on an animated flying cloud begins learning about love. When Yellow Guy says he doesn't understand, Shrignold tells him when he meets his friends maybe he will. Duck and Red Guy notices Yellow Guy and Red Guy says they should follow, or they will get left behind. But Duck says he wants to eat more chicken and so do Red Guy, so they don't follow. Yellow Guy and Shrignold meets up with his friends and they say they love him. Red Guy and Duck finally finish eating all the chicken and Red Guy doesn't know what to do. Duck suggests that they go find their friend because that's what friends are for. Yellow Guy continuously gets filled with information about love and thinks he got it when he says he loves the tree and the stick. Shrignold stops him and says he has to hold on to his love until he finds the special one. Yellow Guy says he's lonely, but Shrignold says he's confused, so he twists it another way by telling the story of Michael, the loneliest and ugliest boy in town, evidence by a woman shouting freak. Michael went underground and lived on his own, which is his specialty. They explain the progression of finding love like rapid heart beatings. They say that Mr. Dead and Mrs. Dead were made for each other and their love is protected with a ring. Out of nowhere, Shrignold says they worships their love god, King Malcolm, by feeding them gravel or he becomes angry. Shrignold and the Love cult tells Yellow Guy he can start a new journey in his life by changing his name, his brain, and forgetting everything in the past by putting the ring on. Yellow Guy wakes up to Red Guy and Duck giving him a gift because they love him. The egg hatches and shows an ugly baby pigeon which Duck crushes with a flyswatter

Episode 4 begins with the show's title as we see our puppets play a board game. Red Guy pulls a card and the card askes, "What is the biggest thing in the earth?" Despite Yellow Guy's assumptions of it being a windmill or mountains, Red Guy wishes it was a way to learn more information on the world. Suddenly, Gilbert the Globe and Colin the Computer comes to life and Colin sings about himself. When Red Guy askes the question, he interrupted by Colin that brags about how clever and smart he is like finding 50 with a blink of an eye, printing pictures, and telling time. He says that it's easy to be smart if you can think digitally. Red Guy says they have a laptop and he say that is great news. The computer than begins to act strange and rapidly talks until Red Guy shouts, "Shut up," and touches the computer, which makes Colin go crazy and makes every glitchy until they end up in the digital world as they figure out (Red Guy is unsatisfied). Yellow Guy doesn't understand how he's sitting at home but inside the computer. Colin answers by saying the digital Yellow Guy is controlled by the real Yellow Guy, which confuses Duck, so he makes multiple points. Red Guy asks what they can do in the digital world in which Colin responds saying there's 3 things to. Different graphs, different styles, and digital dancing. This is repeatedly multiple times as we see Red Guy looking at the computer. It's repeated a little bit too much and the computer begins acting up so Red Guy follows a red cord that leads him to an off-brand version of them with a white morph suit person. A black morph suit person walks on-screen to clap the large Clapperboard, which makes Red Guy's head explode.

Episode 5 begins with the show's title as we see a picture on the fridge of the 3 protagonists. They then see that something is missing but can't point it out, instead pointing out this Bread Boy tapping on peanut butter and strawberry jam. A cabinet opens up showing Spinach Can asking if they are hungry and Steak appears talking about Duck's body having to be healthy. They sing about being healthy like how cake and flakes are unhealthy and makes your teeth all grey. Steak dances and Bread Boy taps on the jars, but that ends when the red telephone rings. Duck answers and when he says, "Hello," he suddenly ends up on a hospital bed. The television channels the present and transitions to the current moment where they talk about the metabolism (or the body cavity). They treat it like it's a house with different organs like Mr. Bladder in different rooms. They explain how the body works but in their parody. it's first goes down the chimney, then goes to room to room meeting the organs. The healthy foods are very polite to the organs and is "invited to the party" while the unhealthy foods (There is misinformation where carrots and yolk are unhealthy) are mean to the organs and must leave through the "cat flap" (taking a dump). The telephone rings again and when Duck answers, the telephone turns into a sandwich which is an unhealthy food that will make your gums grey. Duck says that something is wrong (in an autotuned voice) while Spinach Can agrees, asking how to know which foods are healthy or unhealthy. Steak says the foods can be sorted by a healthy plate pyramid. The plain foods such as bread, cream, white sauce and aspic keeps the body functioning while the fancy foods cooked meats, fruit salad, soil foods and yolk somehow ruins the body (you can see a can in the background with Duck's face printed on it). The Refrigerator (with sticky notes saying Roy's number and the word HELP) touches Duck and makes him even more paranoid than he was. Duck loses it and runs while also knocking over the camera, making the camera turn black. The screen comes back blurring what's happening until we see it clearer with the Monster Can doing something. Someone looks at the television which makes the screen transition back into the present. Spinach Can says Yellow Guy is better off eating plain white sauce on the pizza slice but Steak says that makes your teeth grey also. Refrigerator says just throw it out and try something else on the tray which shows a can with Duck's face on it. A freshly good pie is on the tray, but Steak says it's going to make you sad inside, meaning it's unhealthy. We then see the Monster Can ripping and eating Duck's intestines and organs. Refrigerator says everyone has grey teeth but just eat yeast and it'll go away, but too much yeast results in your teeth becoming grey, as we see in another shot Monster Can feasting on Duck. Steak says Duck shouldn't eat off a stranger's plate, as it's psychedelically repeated. A cool visual show that Duck is confirmed dead as it transitions into a meat and then to the Monster Can with a bowl full of Duck. We cut to a twisted scene showing that in reality, Yellow Guy ate Duck. The telephones rings for the final time as Yellow Guy stares at it. The credits show that Red Guy is still alive as he walks pass a telephone booth.

Episode 6 begins with the show's title as Yellow Guy cries at the photos of him, Red Guy, and Duck. With a final goodnight, Yellow Guy heads to sleep. The Lamp suddenly talks and questions how Yellow Guy is sleeping without knowing how to have dreams. Even though Yellow Guy doesn't want to know, he's still goes into the animated world and learns about how dreams are just like movies that lives in your head every night. Yellow Guy screams out "No more songs" which wakes him up from his nightmare. The Lamp then turns on and says someone is having a bad dream, which makes Yellow Guy drown in oil. We cut to Red Guy sleeping while his boss asks him to file the files. Red Guy asks if it would be funny if the files were alive, but no one is impressed. We see a shot of red guys going downstairs as we see our Red Guy alone. He then brings a boombox and kicks the pianist so he can sing the "Creativity" song. But the audience doesn't like it and boos him of the stage instead of Roy. Suddenly, his microphone becomes alive, and he's teleported into a dark place. He walks until he finds a machine that shows Yellow Guy being tormented by the Lamp. He presses buttons which shows different teachers from past and possibly future episodes. It even shows him and Duck. A long yellow hand touch Red Guy's shoulder which reveals to be Roy. Red Guy follows a cord till it shows a plug, which he unplugs. We then see the crew into their creative colors they said in the first episode as Paige says what their favorite idea was.
