Club Elec Man

**Club Elec Man** (Japanese: エレキマンズクラブ Elec Man's Club) is a second episode of *DLN008 Elec Man*.

## Synopsis

The episode begins with Bass leaving his house and riding his bicycle to work. He then rides past a tall tree, at the top of which is a tree house where Elec Man and Gemini Man are sitting and giggling profusely. They see Bass below and talk to each other about him, beginning certain words with "w” (that Elmer Fudd does). Bass approaches the base of the tree and asks in perturbation if this manner of speaking is some kind of stupid code, and Elec Man tells Bass that he cannot tell him because he is not a member of their club. Bass mocks them, saying that he is more than qualified to join their club. Elec Man tells Bass he could not fit in even if he tried. Bass tells them that he is "a member of over 20 different exclusive clubs all across the sky high," but Elec Man and Gemini Man continue to insist that he would not fit in. Enraged, Squidward tells them they know nothing of "fitting in" before he proceeds to climb the tree. Elec Man and Gemini Man frantically tell Bass to stop, but he does not.

Bass crawls into their tree house, and Elec Man and Gemini Man explain that they meant that he literally could not "fit in," and that they have been stuck up there for three days. Elec Man and Gemini Man begin Bass' initiation into their "club" by singing "Welcome to our Club", but Bass stops them, and attempts to get out by pulling on a smaller tree. He manages to make the tree double over and is about to crawl out when the second tree snaps, launching the tree house (with its three occupants) into the sky. They fly over the Sting Chameleon's Stage, where a couple sees them, the man believing the tree house to be a shooting star.

The trio crash in a small clearing in a distant section of the kelp forest. Elec Man and Gemini Man begin to jump and joyfully shout while Bass panics at his situation of being lost and stuck with Elec Man and Gemini Man. Elec Man and Gemini Man try to comfort Bass by telling him it could be worse, and that they will survive as a club and as long as they have the "Magic Android Device," a Magic 8 ball-like device which Elec Man and Gemini Man treat as prophetic and all-knowing. They believe the Magic Android should never be questioned and should always be consulted before any action is taken. Elec Man asks it what they must do to escape the kelp forest, to which the conch says, "Nothing." Elec Man and Gemini Man sit still on the ground doing nothing, and Squidward is enraged at their stupidity. He announces that he intends to escape the forest and get back to sanity by himself instead of taking advice from a stupid toy and walks away. As Bass tries to find an exit, he becomes lost and afraid and eventually comes back towhere Elec Man and Gemini Man are.

Even more time passes, and by now, Bass has dismantled the box to build a shelter. He has a hat made out of some dried plant, has grown a five-o'clock shadow, and is sitting by a small campfire. A small bug scurries past, and Bass catches it and proceeds to cook it. He taunts Elec Man and Gemini Man with his "food," saying that they could have sided with him and survived, but instead listened to a talking shell. He proceeds to say while chuckling, "As if the answers to all your problems will fall right out of the sky!"

Above the forest, a damaged plane is serendipitously *falling right out of the sky*, and the pilots drop their load of picnic supplies and food to avoid crashing. The equipment lands around Elec Man and Gemini Man, who emerge from their state of doing nothing to praise the magic android. Bass is extremely shocked, and he walks over to the two, who are devouring a table full of food. Bass says he was only kidding earlier and asks if he is still a member of the club, and Elec Man tells him that he is still a member. Bass cannot decide what to choose, and begrudgingly follows Elec Man's suggestion of asking the android device. Bass asks the conch permission to eat certain specific food items, which it denies. He repeatedly asks it permission to eat anything, which it denies every time. Bass becomes enraged when the conch denies permission in a mocking tone and is about to go insane when a Park Ranger enters the clearing.

Squidward tells him he has been stranded with Elec Man, Gemini Man, and the magic android device for weeks, and his mention of the "magic android device" prompts the ranger to pull out an identical conch, revealing himself to also be cultishly obedient to the conch, much to Bass' exasperated dismay. Elec Man and Gemini Man are delighted to meet a "club member," and the ranger tells them that his conch advised him to look for them. The three club members praise the magic conch before asking it how to get out of the kelp forest. It again tells them, "Nothing." Following the conch's advice, they do nothing and assume sitting positions on the ground (until someone else comes and rescues them). Before the episode ends, Bass, at the end of his sanity, praises the magic conch and sits down as well.
