Power Mad! is the second episode of Season 1.

Synopsis[]

Tired of his games being too toddlerish, Timmy wishes for a challenging video game you can't wish yourself out of. But the wish takes a dangerous turn when Chester and A.J. show up unexpectedly and unknowingly enter the game. Now Timmy must enter the game himself and survive various levels of difficulty in order to reach his friends.

Plot[]

The episode opens up in a pink neon cyberpunk-esque landscape where Timmy and his godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, are on the hunt clad all in black high-tech suits. When unknown assailants make themselves known, the three of them find themselves dodging flying carrots. Timmy just narrowly dodges them but Cosmo is struck by them all and disappears in an electronic buzzing manner. When the assailants come closer and step into the light, Timmy then realizes the enemies are clearly just ninja bunnies and he and Wanda take off the virtual reality helmets, revealing this whole "adventure" to be a virtual reality video game. He is upset at Cosmo and Wanda for such a babyishly oriented game and Vicky comes up to check on him. When she sees that there is seemingly nothing wrong or suspicious, she tells him to keep it down since she is trying to watch her shows before she leaves. Before he goes to the bathroom, Timmy instructs Cosmo and Wanda to reconstruct this game with very specific parameters - the kind that do not include fuzzy bunnies or ponies, but rather something that will "scare the pants off of him". And so, he wishes for a video game that is challenging, a game that he can't wish himself (or anybody else) out of. When Timmy leaves, Cosmo and Wanda decide that Timmy's wish is "just vague enough to work", but they are going to need a lot of power to make it work. They plug their wands into power sockets in the wall and cross their wands to grant the wish. When it is done and the video game is fully operational, it causes a massive power surge around the whole city. Timmy's best friends, Chester and A.J., are strolling through the neighborhood when they notice the city-wide power surge and immediately deduce that it is because Timmy has a new video game, so they come over to his house to check it out. When they come up to his room and notice that Timmy is nowhere to be found (to which A.J. notes is because Timmy always uses the bathroom at 6:13 PM), they don the virtual reality helmets and are transported inside Timmy's TV and directly into the game, much to Wanda's concern. Timmy comes back wondering about the power surge and sees that his friends are playing the new video game. After they insult him while they are in the game for his normal standard for video games consisting of the abundantness of fuzzy bunnies (like the previous version of this very game), he goes to hit the reset button, but Wanda stops him and warns him if the game is deactivated in any way while they're in there or if they lose their three lives, they'll disappear forever.

Timmy tries to wish them out of the game, but Cosmo quotes Timmy's exact words from the wish to remind him that this game doesn't allow the easy way out through wishing. The only way out for anybody is to beat the game or to take off the helmets. Timmy questions to them that they don't do anything halfway and Cosmo states in response that he and Wanda are simply two halves of a whole idiot. When the lights in Timmy's house dim again like the surge from before, he realizes that the game is drawing out so much energy that anything and everything Vicky plugs in is an immediate risk to shorting out the power and cutting the game off, which means Chester and A.J. are in grave danger unless Timmy can find them and retrieve them before it is too late. So, he orders Cosmo and Wanda to do whatever they can to prevent Vicky from using up any more power while he dons a VR helmet and jumps in after them. In the living room, Timmy's worst fears are realized when Vicky attaches half a dozen appliance plugs to a single electrical outlet which Wanda immediately declares would be a death sentence for the power. Cosmo yanks them all out and tells Wanda to follow him into the TV for an idea he has (Which Wanda feels is an occasion worth journaling on a notepad). They poof themselves into the TV and when Vicky turns it on, Cosmo's plan is revealed to be using their magic to create the illusion of a working TV while they act out various hyper-realistic programs to distract her. The first of which is "I Love Wanda," a parody of "I Love Lucy", featuring Cosmo saying the famous phrase "Lucy/Wanda, you got some 'splaining to do" and the next a weather news show, which Cosmo mistakes weather with feather.

Meanwhile, Timmy has arrived on the first level of the game (Video-Electric Shredder Balls of Doom), which is a green luminescent field of giant morningstars spinning on tetherball-like posts. While marveling at the effort Cosmo and Wanda made, half his face is torn off by one of the shredder balls and one of his lives is lost. Timmy is shocked and angered by losing a life on level 01, and asks himself "What am I, four?" in brave self-retaliation. In the living room, Vicky still remains oblivious to Cosmo and Wanda's plan while she watches a talk show where Wanda interviews Cosmo and his Car wife. However, she just flips from "channel" to "channel" out of boredom.

Still on the Shredder Ball level, Timmy is sprinting across the landscape trying to be very careful, but also continuing to marvel at the fun challenges this game poses. However, just then, the whole landscape glitches, to which Timmy identifies as another power surge. On that note, Chester and A.J. are climbing monkey bars across an abyss on another level where the surge makes them disappear for a split second. Chester is able to catch a grip when the system recovers but A.J. plummets into the bottomless chasm, losing his first of three lives. Timmy progresses to level 8, which is an underwater version of his Aunt Gertrude's house. Timmy then realizes level 8 is a boss level when a gigantic lobster version of Timmy's Aunt Gertrude emerges and tries to pinch his cheeks with her huge scissor-like claws. While evading her attacks, he finds a Wanda coin which grants him one wish and he wishes for cheeks of steel (specifying his face). The Lobster Gertrude takes the bait and when she pinches them with her claws, she shatters like glass and explodes, allowing Timmy to move onto the next level.

In the meantime, Vicky's fake TV rabbit hole takes her to "Cosmo", a parody of Seinfeld, where Cosmo notes that the show is about nothing and then asks, "how do we know when it's over?", to which Vicky sarcastically responds, "I do!" and then changes the channel. The next is show is a promo of a new album featuring Cosmo singing "The wheels of the bus" and "Bingo was his name-o" much to Vicky's boredom.

Chester and A.J arrive in the level called "The Classroom of Doom". On top of the desks which function as floating platforms, they notice a mob of janitors with brooms running below them. Chester explains that this is apparently the video game's translation of the concept of failing this class would mean spending the rest of their lives as janitors (in this case, if they don't get through this level, their lives are effectively over). Just then, Timmy finally catches up to them on this very level. He tries to convince them to leave, but they refuse to abandon their excitement. Timmy cites that they're each down to two lives, which they don't take seriously since they don't know that their life counts running out would mean their real-life deaths as well (A.J. questions if they disappear forever if they lose all their lives and Timmy cannot find an answer to that). When Chester brags about still having all 3 of his lives, A.J. jokingly pushes Chester off the desk and costs him that first life. Chester nearly tries to take revenge by throwing A.J. off until Timmy stops him. Since willingly convincing them doesn't work, he decides their best bet is to work together. Before he can get into some big teamwork speech, they charge off and Timmy just bolts after them.

Eventually, Cosmo runs out of ideas and Vicky realizes that all the plugs came out, much to he and Wanda's horror. When she plugs them back in and turns them all on, all the lights go out along with the power. Just when Wanda thinks all hope is lost, she finds Cosmo back in Timmy's room with another idea (which Wanda journals as a "magnificent day for Cosmo") of powering the video game by using a treadmill as the power supply. He is using a steak on a string suspended in front of him to help him keep his motivation up. As the boys approach the gateway to the last level, Timmy tries again to stop his friends from proceeding and tries to convince them to take the helmets off. When they ask why, Timmy's only preparation for a follow-up question is that he has to use the bathroom. However, they don't believe him, citing that he already did at 6:13. They then contest that there is only one level left and they go into the portal leading to the final level, with Timmy going after them.

PowerMad207

Chester, A.J., and Timmy Turner inside the classroom of doom level in the video game.

Timmy and his friends find themselves in the middle of Timmy's living room, and he breathes a sigh of relief assuming they are back in the real world. However, while A.J. and Chester find this anticlimactic, Timmy realizes his helmet is still on, meaning they are still in the game. This means that they are on the last level after all. Suddenly, the living room turns red, and a fissure appears in the ground. The boss that comes out is a giant, Robotic Vicky. Timmy yells at them to take off their helmets at once, but Chester tells him to calm down since they all have two lives left...and then they all lose one life after Vicky crushes them with her foot, so they are all left with one life each. Robot Vicky then tries to run down Chester and A.J. with her "babysitter" attack (a gigantic, spiked steamroller attached to her butt). Knowing they will be gone forever if she succeeds, Timmy sprints into action and selflessly knocks Chester and A.J. out of the way, sacrificing his last life by being crushed to death and reduced to ashes. Wanda is horrified to see on the TV that Timmy has just lost his last life and is now gone forever. Even though they still don't know that their life count running out means actual death, Chester and A.J. can't help but marvel at Timmy's heroism even if it is just a video game. However, just when all hope seems lost, Wanda notices Timmy's high score is still skyrocketing until it reaches 50,000,000. Just then, Timmy rematerializes in the boss level good as new and Chester and A.J. deduce that sacrificing his last life for the two of them had miraculously won him enough bonus points for an extra life. Now that the three of them have reunited, they ready themselves for battle and Timmy sees a Cosmo coin floating near the ceiling guarded by Robot Vicky. He and his friends team up to get the coin, using objects from the living room to protect themselves from Robot Vicky's attacks. With A.J.'s help, Timmy reaches the Cosmo coin which causes Cosmo to appear (as Wanda takes over at the generator). Timmy wishes for something to stop Vicky (again, just vague enough to work), which ends up being a front door appearing, along with his parents who come in and dismiss Robot Vicky from her babysitting duties, causing her to scream in defeat and melt into a puddle of molten goo. Upon defeating the final boss, Timmy and his friends finally exit the game, and it shuts down just as the power comes back on. Vicky then barges into Timmy's room and yells at Chester and A.J. to get out of the house, to which they obey while saying quick goodbyes to Timmy. Vicky demands Timmy to re-wire the house so she can finally watch her shows, but Timmy tricks her into putting on one of the VR helmets, saying that it will put her right in the middle of her favorite programs. She takes his word for it and finds herself on what she thinks is the tetherball channel (the shredder ball level). Timmy collapses to the floor with laughter as he watches Vicky's agony against the shredder balls and Cosmo and Wanda (returned their goldfish forms in the bowl) fail at an attempted "high-fin". Instead, they end the episode by sharing a kiss and the last thing that can be heard is Vicky's agony from her unfortunate encounter with the Lobster Gertrude Boss.
