Anger plans (part 1)

Scene of *Inside Out*

DID I ASK FOR THE GUM COMMERCIAL?!?!

"**Anger plans (part 1)**" is a scene used in *Inside Out* parodies. Their use usually involves Anger planning his own plans concerning Riley Andersen and her mind, often in contrast to Joy's plans.

## In *Inside Out*

With Anger, Fear and Disgust still the only emotions in Riley's Headquarters as part of the plot of *Inside Out*, her days have been going terrible, with Disgust opening this scene with her famous quote, "On a scale of one to ten, I give this day an F.". Anger and Fear thus resolve to do something about it, and Fear starts off by attempting to leave Headquarters via the recall tube, the same way Joy and Sadness were exiled, but is stopped as memories clog up. After this plan fails, Disgust declares that ultimately, the emotions' purpose is to keep Riley happy, and Anger has an idea. He thus retrieves a lightbulb (in Riley's mind, lightbulbs represent ideas she has) and proclaims his plan: for Riley to return to Minnesota and create happy Core Memories there. Fear objects, and Anger attempts to show happy memories of Minnesota, but is confronted by the TripleDent Gum jingle again. Thus, Disgust agrees to the plan, and Fear realizes that it's late and Riley should sleep. Anger thus postpones the plan for the next day, and Riley goes to sleep, with Fear serving Dream Duty.

## In parodies

*Main article: Anger plans (series)*
The first part has seen uses in parodies earlier, starting with The Emotions play Kerbal Space Program. This use also introduces the main use of the "Anger plans" scenes, namely to have Anger's plans oppose those of Joy, as Joy's previous plan to get popular on YouTube via *Minecraft* has failed.

Like in parodies using the "Joy plans" scene, the outside world intro to the first part, featuring Riley entering her room angrily, dropping hockey gear and laying down, is cut out and replaced with a title card. However, the audio is usually kept.

Like in parodies using the "Riley Andersen vs. Meg" scene, the TripleDent Gum jingle is also usually replaced. However, this scene actually features the video portion of the jingle, which can be used for more adequate parodies concerning the jingle itself. The first use of this was in the very first *Inside Out* parody, Russian Inside Out series - Pilot: GGGGGGGGGGGGGG, and features Vladimir Putin singing "I am gay! Gay! Gay!". This eventually carried over to the main series.

INT. HEADQUARTERS
DISGUST
On a scale of one to ten, I give this day an F.
ANGER
Well why don’t we quit standing around and DO something?
DISGUST
Like what, genius?
Fear enters with a suitcase.
FEAR
Like quitting! That’s what I’m doing.
He stomps on the recall button.
FEAR (CONT’D)
Sure, it’s the coward’s way out. But this coward is gonna survive!
The tube drops over him, but pummels Fear with dozens of memories. The tube shuts off and retracts. Fear drops to the floor in pain.
DISGUST
Emotions can’t quit, genius.
Fear spits up a memory.
DISGUST (CONT’D)
Euch! I thought we were supposed to be keeping Riley happy.
ANGER
Wait a minute. Wait a minute!
Anger runs to the back and rummages through the ideas.
ANGER (CONT’D)
Ah ha!
FEAR
What is it?
ANGER
(holds up the lightbulb)
Oh nothing. Just the best idea ever.
DISGUST
What?
ANGER
All the good core memories were made in Minnesota. Ergo, we go back to Minnesota and make more. Ta-da!
FEAR
Wait. You’re saying we run away?
ANGER
Well, I wouldn’t call it that. I’d call it, “The Happy Core Memory Development Program.”
FEAR
You can’t be serious.
ANGER
Hey. Our life was perfect until Mom and Dad decided to move to San Fran Stinktown.
FEAR
But, I mean, it’s just so drastic!
ANGER
Need I remind you of how great things were there? Our room? Our back yard? Our friends?
He punches up a memory. It plays on the screen.
GUM MEMORY
Tripledent gum will make you smile! Tripledent gum it lasts--
ANGER
Did I ASK for the gum commercial?!?!
(he ejects the memory)
Anyway, it was better, that’s my point.
DISGUST
(considering)
Riley was happier in Minnesota...
FEAR
Wait, hold on. Shouldn’t we just sleep on this or something?
ANGER
Fine. Let’s sleep on it. Because hey, I’m sure jolly fun-filled times are just around the corner.
