The Blower

“**The Blower**” is an Antonio Cool Guy episode of season 1. It is based off of the Spongebob Squarepants episode “**Reef Blower**” In this episode, Antonio finds the perfect use for his high powered reef blower.

## Plot

One sunny day, Joseph walks outside, and looks upon his immaculate front lawn, free of debris, except for one empty can of Sprite. Finding its presence unsightly, he nonchalantly kicks it onto Antonio's lawn. The latter pops out of his window and sees the sprite can. Also keen to keep the appearance of his lawn pristine, he gets his Reef Blower  out of his garage and turns it on. The noise annoys Joseph, who plugs his ears as Antonio struggles to blow the empty can away.

After a few failed attempts, Antonio applies more force and accidentally blows a large pile of sand onto Joseph and his lunch. To fix this problem, he blows the sand off Joseph first, then his Sooubway sandwich, but gets some sand in the latter's eyes. After clearing Joseph's face, Antonio peers over at his sidewalk and the pile of sand is now atop it.

More determined to clean his yard than ever, Antonio sucks the pile of sand into the reef blower. The yard is cleared, but the blower malfunctions and spits out the sand along with a few mechanical parts. Undeterred, Antonio unzips the reef blower and puts the debris in himself. Upon trying to restart the machine, however, it fails to operate.

Antonio takes the starter rope and pulls it as far as it can possibly go. Once stretched to its limit, Antonio lets it yank him back and the motor restarts. The resulting suction proves so great that it vacuums up all the trees in the world, leaving Joseph to start suffocating. The engorged reef blower soon bursts, releasing all the trees and a large amount of leaves.

With his yard miraculously clean, Antonio heads back inside, leaving Joseph to his fate: his yard covered in leaf piles, buried under one himself, and one tiny leaf falling gently onto his face.
