Chuckle Club Shopkins

*“Buncho's pulling us along, Buncho's pulling us along, Buncho's pulling us along, we'll give him a bump!”*
―The Chef Club Shopkins singing
***Chuckle Club Shopkins*** is the third episode of the fifth series.

## Plot

One evening, Bessie Bowl comes up to Jessicake, Donatina, Apple Blossom and Buncho Bananas to ask for a volunteer to pull a special the next day. Jessicake, Donatina and Apple Blossom are eager to pull it, until Bessie Bowl reveals that it's some Shopkins to take to Shopville Airport. This makes the three refuse to take them, leading Bessie Bowl to choose Buncho Bananas for the job.

That night, Jessicake, Donatina and Apple Blossom state their experiences with Shopkins to Buncho Bananas; Jessicake mentions when the Shopkins pushed her down Cheeky's Hill and almost made her derail and when Donatina was pushed by the Shopkins into some Tar Tankers, while Donatina mentions when they pushed Apple Blossom into the sea. Despite the warnings from the other Shopkins to be careful of the Shopkins, Buncho Bananas states his refusal to let them beat him.

The next day, Buncho Bananas states about how exciting the Shopkins' stories were with the Shopkins (to Kooky Cookie's surprise) and wonders what stories he will have. While pulling his train, the Shopkins start bumping him. Donatina pulls up alongside him and laughs at him, asking if he's having trouble with them, only to crash into some Tar Tankers again. Despite their teasing, the Shopkins become surprised when Buncho Bananas plays along with their jokes. This also shocks Jessicake and Apple Blossom, leading to Jessicake stopping at a green signal and running late and Apple Blossom crashing into some big puddles.

Buncho Bananas drops off her Shopkins, who are quite surprised when he states he'll look forward to working with them again. She later sees Apple Blossom being rescued by Choc and Chip, Jessicake with an angry Bessie Bowl at Ffarquhar and Donatina getting the tar washed off her. Bessie Bowl later tells off Jessicake, Donatina and Apple Blossom for their accidents, but praises Buncho Bananas when he arrives at the sheds.

## Trivia

* Going by production order, this is the second episode of the fifth series.
* References to the second series episodes, Ain't No Party Like A Shopkins Party (Part 5) and World Wide Vacation (Part 1) as well as the first series episode, Acting Up are made. Stock footage from The Adventure Begins is used during the scene of Ain't No Party Like A Shopkins Party (Part 5); due to this Jessicake is in her original look.
* CGI flashbacks of World Wide Vacation (Part 1) and Acting Up were made.
* In the CGI remake of World Wide Vacation (Part 1), one of the coffee trucks from Shopkins: Big World! Big Adventures! can be seen as part of Donatina's train.
* This episode marks Opaletta's first speaking role since the nineteenth series episode, Bubbleisha Spots Trouble, though aside from exclamations, she has no dialogue in this episode. This is also her only speaking role in this series and her last speaking role to date.
* This episode marks Cherie Tomatoe, Ice and Bryce's only appearances in the fifth series.
* This episode marks the last appearance of Ice and Bryce to date.
* This is the second time Donatina crashes into tar wagons, the first time was World Wide Vacation (Part 1); making it the third time a Shopkin crashes into tar wagons, with the second being Apple Blossom's Big Mistake, but the Shopkin that got covered in tar was Cheeky Chocolate back then.
* The song Buncho Bananas and the Chef Club Shopkins sing is sung to the tune of the English nursery rhyme, Polly Put the Kettle On.
* This is the first episode where Donatina and Kooky Cookie have their new details.

## Goofs

* Kooky Cookie's chips are black instead of brown.
* When Donatina crashes into the tar tankers for the second time, she is already covered in tar before she actually hits the tankers.
* In the scene of Kooky Cookie and Buncho Bananas talking at Small Mart, Milly and Molly Cake Pop are clipping through their shed's door, and disappear between shots.
* In the UK version, Jessicake does not shout "Woohoo!" when she jumps off Cheeky's Hill at the begining.
* In the distance shot of Shopville Airport, the station is missing its letters.
* Buncho Bananas runs a red signal when he passes Apple Blossom being rescued.
* In the German dub, Cheeky Chocolate incorrectly refers to herself and Buncho Bananas as Shoppies.
* Jessicake, Donatina, Apple Blossom should know that their accidents from the past was also their own fault.
	+ Jessicake wouldn’t listen to Strawberry Kiss about the trucks.
	+ Donatina was too busy thinking about Lippy Lips.
	+ Apple Blossom wanted to know what was beyond the sign, and told the trucks herself to bump her.
