Slugfest / Beans and Weenies - Recap

Slugfest: The episode starts off when Slinkman is sleeping. He wakes up and looks at his calendar and suddenly he smiles with excitement. Then, he wakes up Lumpus and starts doing things for him that include giving him toilet paper, handing him soap, brushing his teeth, fixing his tie, giving him his hat, and moving his feet onto his desk.

Outside Lumpus's cabin, we find the Bean Scouts playing baseball and Clam throws the ball. Lazlo hits the ball with the bat and it results in one of Lumpus's windows breaking. Slinkman comes by and says good morning with a happy look on his face to the Bean Scouts. Lazlo apologizes to Slinkman about breaking the window. Slinkman doesn't think it's a big problem and says that he will fix it. Suddenly, Edward stops Slinkman in his tracks and tries to convince him to stop smiling. Lazlo asks Slinkman why he is happy and he is happy because of Slugfest. Slugfest is an event where slugs slime each other for three days and eat cotton candy. To go to Slugfest, he has to persuade Lumpus to let him go to Slugfest. Lazlo and Edward hope he has good luck with that.

In his cabin, we find that Lumpus is fixing his ship in a bottle and Slinkman tries to fix it for him. He gives it back immediately after fixing it. Lumpus thanks him and Slinkman reminds Lumpus of the three days off he promised to him. We now get to see a flashback of Camp Kidney being built. Lumpus back then talks to Slinkman about being scoutmaster's assistant. Slinkman accepts the job on one condition: every five years in August, slugs like Slinkman gather together for Slugfest. In order to celebrate it, Slinkman has to take three days off from work. Lumpus accepts the promise because of his credentials, however he doesn't remember making any promise now. Shortly, Lumpus and Slinkman argue about the promise and Lumpus tells Slinkman that he's too valuable to leave Camp Kidney. He asks that Slugfest should be rescheduled, but Slinkman tells him that it cannot be rescheduled. Lumpus convinces him not to leave because if he did leave, the whole camp can fall apart.

Slinkman walks away and Lazlo wonders how it went while Edward thinks he chickened out. He tells them that he can't go to Slugfest. Edward says to Slinkman that he chickened out. Lazlo won't let Slinkman walk out of this situation, so he tries to help him. He shows him role playing. Lazlo will be Lumpus and Slinkman will be himself and Lazlo tells him what to do. Slinkman says his lines and stops when Lazlo (acting like Lumpus) yells at him for not knocking. So, Slinkman pretends to knock on the door and tries to tell Lazlo about Slugfest, but Lazlo is talking to a banana. He wants to go to Slugfest and Lazlo keeps rejecting his request. They try again, only this time, Clam will be Lumpus and Slinkman thinks this is ridiculous. Since Slinkman doesn't like doing this, Lazlo tries to be Slinkman. Clam starts to make a grumpy look on his face and when Lazlo wants to go to Slugfest, Clam keeps growling. Lazlo mentions rule number two million and Clam congratulates him with a scone. Slinkman walks away.

In the laundry room, Lazlo pops out of some clothes and promises that he will do Slinkman's chores for him, so that he can go to Slugfest. Slinkman drops a towel on him. In Slinkman's room, the Raj and Lazlo go into his room and Lazlo takes Slinkman to a window. Slinkman falls to the ground and there, they take him to Camp Kidney's gate. Lazlo encourages Slinkman to get out of Camp Kidney, but Slikman won't go. He takes off his mask and explains why he can't go to Slugfest.

Slinkman is now in his bed, looking at his calendar. He falls to the floor and wakes Lumpus up. Lumpus wants toilet paper, but Slinkman won't give it to him. Slinkman is shaving Lumpus's face. When Lumpus is in the shower, the water suddenly gets very hot. Slinkman fixes his tie very tightly and moves him to his desk. Lumpus thinks that his ship in a bottle is very sloppy and commands Slinkman to fix it and instead, he ruins it and calls it a shipwreck. He drops the ship in a bottle. Slinkman starts to make Lumpus's cabin very messy by using a mop and a vacuum. Lumpus orders him to stop. Slinkman makes Lumpus's allergies arrive, belches at the Bean Scouts, and licks the microphone and Lumpus's hands. Some of the other things he does is breaks his marching band records, makes a picture crooked, and releases the marlin into Leakey Lake. The Bean Scouts watch as Slinkman destroys the cabin.

The destruction is over when Slinkman falls out of the cabin. Lazlo congratulates Slinkman for standing up to Lumpus. Slinkman hears Lumpus crying and he goes into the cabin. He apologizes to Lumpus for going ballistic and Lumpus appreciates Slinkman's dedication. The reason that Lumpus wants Slinkman to be around is that he likes hanging out with him. Finally, Lumpus lets Slinkman go to Slugfest. In return, Slinkman asks Lumpus if he can come with him. He asks everyone about how slimy he is and Lumpus would like to come with him. We see Lumpus and Slinkman at Slugfest and Lumpus falls on slug slime. While they walk, slugs are walking by and one of them gets covered in slime.

Beans and Weenies: Chef McMuesli sings a song about health. On a board, the word, tofurturs changes to torture. He shows them homeopathic garden weenies and the Bean Scouts almost vomit. He serves the food to them and the Bean Scouts have a hard time trying to eat their weenies. Lazlo pretends that his weenie is Saddlebag Sam and that he is trying to get back his tater tot mine. Raj plays along and Lazlo shoots a pea. It goes directly to the weenies and knocks them over. Since the Jelly Beans knocked the weenies over, Lumpus orders him to help make the weenies next week.

Lazlo tries to roll the tofu, but he is not doing it right. Instead of hassling the grain, Raj pulverizes it. Clam is not doing his job right either. That makes Chef McMuesli very angry. So angry, that he leaves the Mess Hall, jumps on his hat, and drives away from Camp Kidney to Peru. Since Chef McMuesli isn't here, the Jelly Beans try to make hot dogs using the supplies they have. The Bean Scouts gather to the Mess Hall for another Hot Dog Monday. Samson is the first scout in line. In the kitchen, we see the Jelly Beans making hot dogs. Lazlo hands Samson a hot dog. Samson takes a bite out of the hot dog and tells everyone that it is way above average. Soon, the Bean Scouts in the Mess Hall try the hot dog and they like it, but Edward hasn't tried it yet. First, he smells the hot dog. Then, eats it. Edward exclaims that the hot dog is the best thing that he has ever had. Lazlo serves everyone another hot dog and they cheer for Hot Dog Mondays.

The next Monday, the Jelly Beans make more hot dogs. Many Mondays pass and the Jelly Beans start to get very tired. Lazlo asks how Clam is doing and he shouts at them. The Jelly Beans start to argue with each other and throw food at each other. They postpone Hot Dog Mondays due to irreconcilable differences. In their cabin, Lazlo tries to talk things out with Raj and Clam, but they start to argue with each other again. The Bean Scouts are outside the Jelly Cabin and they ask questions including when they are going to have Hot Dog Mondays again. Lazlo treats Hot Dog Mondays like if it weren't a big deal and they start to complain. Lazlo tells them about friendship. Raj and Clam start to tell about how mustard and buns are great. Samson suggests that Lazlo, Raj, and Clam break up so that they can have three different Hot Dog Nights. Lazlo almost starts to cry.

At the Mess Hall, it's Raj's turn to do the Mess Hall duty. Raj is serving his buns and Edward complains that the bun is just a bun. Others start to complain and comment about the substance. Clam is serving his mystic mustard and Edward complains about how he is just going to eat mustard. The Bean Scouts throw their plates of mustard at Clam. We find the Jelly Beans in a dumpster. Lazlo gets them to make a hot dog for themselves. On top of the Mess Hall's roof, the Jelly Beans are making a hot dog for themselves. The rest of the Bean Scouts smell the hot dog's aroma and they start going to the Mess Hall. Now they want hot dogs again, but how can they drive them away? The question is answered when Raj asks them about what hot dogs are made of and for a few seconds, they turn into food. They walk away and the Jelly Beans are about to eat their hot dogs, but they throw them away. Raj asks, "What are we made of?" Clam answers, "Stuff." Raj asks again, "What kind of stuff." Clam responds, "Stuff, stuff." Lazlo adds, "You know, byproducts." Clam ends the episode by saying, "Old beef."
