- So I got the DNA results back
and it turns out I'm related to the king of--
- Quiet, clowns!
- What's the matter? - Lex is terrified of clowns.
- Why? Clowns deliver joy and laughter.
They're the best possible version of mankind.
- Are you kidding me?
They haunt my dreams. They haunt my nightmares.
And now they're haunting my Mooery.
- You know what? I'm finally gonna help you
get over your fear of clowns because it's a problem.
- It's not a problem.
- Could I borrow that ketchup? - [screams]
If she bites me, I become a clown!
- I'm gonna make sure she doesn't run into traffic.
- Hi. I can't help but notice that you're a clown.
- Why would you say that?
- Well, it's your clown nose and your makeup and--
- I'm messing with you. Of course, I'm a clown!
[horn honks] - [laughs]
- My friends and I just finished a show
and we came here to celebrate.
- I have so many clown-related questions.
Would you like sit down?
- Thanks, sure! [horn honks]
- [laughs] You're good.
- I'm a professional clown.
- Look, Horrigan, our hair growth accelerator is working.
- It looks just like real hair.
- Time to test it out on a human.
Horrigan, are you ready? - Are you sure it's safe?
- Of course. Look at the watermelon.
- Let's do it. - Great, but let's hurry.
My dad hurt his foot trying to click his heels
like a leprechaun.
- Is it serious? - Seriously annoying.
He's stuck at home and won't leave me alone for--
- Top of the morning.
Okay, taking snack orders.
Who wants popcorn shrimp? Show of hands.
- Ten fingers up!
- Well, you got ten popcorn shrimps coming your way, buddy.
Beep, beep, beep, beep!
- Okay, now that he's gone, I'm gonna apply this
and then you have to sit perfectly still for just--
- Forgot to ask about what sauce you want.
- Dad, we're in the middle of something.
- You're right. I'll just bring 'em all.
- Okay, let's get started.
- Hey, guys! - Dad.
- I just remembered we're out of popcorn shrimp.
Who likes quesadillas? Show of hands.
Perfect!
Just gotta figure out how to get this baby down the stairs.
- That's it!
We have a new project:
to distract my dad so he stops distracting us.
- Um, is my lip supposed to be burning?
- The watermelon never complained.
- Then neither will I, sir.
- And that's why my uncle is on a mountain
raising a family of hawks.
- You know,
non-clowns are usually so boring
but you're different.
- Oh, you haven't seen anything yet.
Check out my didgeridoo impression.
[clears throat]
[mimicing digeridoo]
- I didgeri-do-not believe how good that was!
- [laughs]
[slide whistle] No, that's my alarm!
I'm sorry, I need to go.
- But wait! I didn't even get your name!
I hope it's something hilarious!
She's gone.
But she lost her shoe.
[honks]
[gasps] It honks.
Clowns truly are the best possible version of mankind.
- Okay, to distract my father,
I've turned this thing into a smart fridge.
- Sure, it's smart
but does it have one of these?
- It's a good start to the mustache project,
but we need to focus so we can keep my dad
from interrupting us. Let's power it up.
[fridge whirring] - Hello, Fisher.
My name is Fridgrick. What is my purpose?
- Your purpose is to be friends with my dad
so he stops interrupting us.
- ♪ And that's how Allan shops for groceries ♪
Oh, good, you're here.
Turns out we were out of quesadilla bread,
which a person at the store told me is called a "tortilla."
- Dad, there's someone I want you to meet.
- If it's Horrigan, I know him
and love that little 'stache.
Lookin' good. - Feelin' good.
- No, there's someone else. Meet Fridgrick.
- Hello, Alan. I'm Fridgrick. Nice to meet you.
- [squeals]
The fridge talked!
- Horrigan and I installed an advanced AI operating system.
Think of the fridge as your new friend.
- Mm, I don't know about this, Fisher.
The last time I tried to become friends with an appliance,
I got burned.
It was a toaster.
- Those guys are the worst.
- They are the worst.
I like you. You get me.
- So as your unlicensed therapist, tell me,
why you have such strong negative feelings about clowns?
- Well, first off, they look like monsters.
What are they hiding under all that makeup?
- If I had to guess, I'd say their faces.
- Guys, you'll never guess what happened.
I met a girl!
- Forget about clowns! Tell us everything.
- Okay, so she's a clown.
- Are you crazy?
- Okay. Don't listen to Lex.
What's her name? - I don't know.
- Where does she go to school? - I'm not sure.
- Did you get any info at all? - None whatsoever.
- So how are we supposed to find her?
- Well I do have her shoe.
- Oh, this is so romantic.
If we find who fits the shoe, we find the girl.
Just like Cinderella.
But she's a clown and I hate those.
But I love romance. But this is clown romance!
I'm gonna need another therapy session.
- This is perfect. We're gonna help Munchy
find his Clownderella
and in the process, we're gonna help you
overcome your fear of clowns.
- Or, and hear me out,
you guys go do all of that stuff
and I stay here safely hidden in your basement.
- You're coming. - I know.

♪ We got this ♪
♪ I like the odds when we're side-by-side ♪

- Step right up and try on the shoe.
- If it fits, you win a boat!
- We don't have a boat to give to someone.
- Uh, technically,
we still have the burnt remains of Tedward's boat
and I never said what condition the boat was in
so it's like lying-not-lying.
- Uh, it sounds like lying-actually-lying.
- I know but we need girls to try it on
so we know whose shoe it is.
Any of these girls could be Munchy's mystery clown.
- I never thought about that.
Anyone could be an undercover clown.
Even you!
- It doesn't fit.
- Okay, I have something that's gonna help you
with your fear of clowns.
- What is it? Knives?
- No, but they're just as powerful.
Words.
- I'd prefer a knife.
- Whenever you're feeling scared about clowns,
I want you to say to yourself, "Most clowns aren't evil."
- Most clowns? So some clowns are evil?
- Okay, not that.
How about, "Inside every clown is a person."
- What, because the clown ate them?
- Okay. How about,
"Clowns are more afraid of you than you are of them."
Say it.
- Clowns are more afraid of me than I am of them.
- Doesn't fit.
- Stupid feet.
They never win me a boat.
And why are you having people try on a clown shoe anyway?
- I'm looking for the clown who fits it.
See, I met this girl the other day.
It started with this hilarious misunder--
- Okay, okay, I was just here for the boat.
But if you're looking for clowns,
a lot of them hang out at Scoochy's Clown Café.
- That sounds like the perfect place to look.
- Yeah. Yeah, that's why I said it.
But don't try to go looking normal.
They only let clowns in.
- Got it.
Although part of me wonders
if she even wants to be found.
[sighs] See, after she ran away--
- If I had a boat,
I'd use it to sail away from this conversation.
- Rude but thank you!
Okay, guys, I found a place where clowns hang out.
We need to go see if my Clownderella's there.
- That's great! - Yeah, let's go right now!
- One small thing.
To get in, we need to dress like clowns.
- [shouts] No!
- Well, your 'stache is right on schedule.
And the best part is
my dad didn't interrupt us with snacks once.
Our plan to keep him distracted totally worked.
- Speaking of snacks,
me and my mustache are hungry. - Me too.
Let's go grab something to eat.
- Be right there.
Horrigan, you devil.
[ballpark organ music]
- And here's the pitch!
- Steeee-rike three! The crowd goes wild!
- Um, what's going on?
- Oh, hey, Fish.
Just playing catch with my new BFF,
best fridge forever.
- Ha. Ha. Ha.
Alan, you are so clever.
- Uh, okay.
I'm glad to see that you and Fridgrick are getting along.
Oh, hey, look at this!
Our mustache experiment is working.
- Sup?
- Oh, that's great.
Hey, bud, we're just kind of in the middle of something.
- Yes, we're going into the ninth inning
of the Ice Ball World Series.
- But we'll look at your hair thing later.
Right now, I'm having fun playing with my new friend.
- Well, I guess we'll be upstairs.
I think he likes the fridge better than me.
- Don't worry, sir.
With this mustache, I can be your new dad.
- Come on, Lex. You can do this.
- Clowns are more afraid of me than I am of them.
Clowns are more afraid of me than I am of them.

- Yup, this is officially my worst nightmare.
I can't believe you guys made me dress up like this.

And mimes are not clowns!
Too slow, mime!

We have to help him find his clown.

Make us laugh.

Make us laugh, make us laugh!
Make us laugh, make us laugh, make us laugh!
- It's almost showtime, you so-called clowns.
- Okay, what's the plan?
- Well, I think if we can knock over the big one,
we can make it to the door before the others catch us.
- No! We need to prove to these clowns that we're clowns,
even though we're not clowns.
- Yeah, it's the only way they'll tell us
who Munchy's Clownderella is.
