OK, if movies have taught me anything, it's that all dogs are good at basketball.
Oh, come on, Johnny, not all dogs are--
Somersault slam!
OK, it's true. We're awesome.
And that's why you gotta help me.
It's basketball week in gym, and everybody laughs cos I stink.
Oh, you're not that bad.
Now, just focus on that rim and sink it!
-
-Sorry. -You are a terrible coach!
Help me get better at basketball!
We're busy.
Come on! Invent me some Jam-slam sneakers
or GPS shooting gloves!
Johnny, we don't have time because we're studying string theory.
Not cool. But you know what is cool?
Inventing mega-hands so I can block shots
or slap Hoops McGee when he makes fun of me!
Attracting positive vibrations throughout matter
by amplifying them in a single transponder…
…is very cool.
And now in English, please?
You two are looking at the world's first and fully functional good luck charm.
That could turn Johnny's unlucky bounces into lucky baskets!
The vibrational waves are too unpredictable for testing, Johnny.
And if you even think of stealing it, you're in for a…
…shock.
Well, we gave it a shot…
Last week was gymnastics week.
-Hyah!
And karate week was before that.
How are you so good at karate and gymnastics,
but so bad at basketball?
A question I've asked myself many times.
Now walk me to school, dog!
I've got a bad feeling about you stealing a good luck charm.
One, it's not stealing if I get it back before Susan and Mary get home.
-And two, where's the good luck?
Look out!
Ooh, those are ice-pops!
Don't you mean Good Luck-sicles?
-Num!
And tell your grumble-tummy to relax and eat.
That wasn't my stomach.
That was psycho Dobermans!
OK, where's the good luck now?
Ha! It works!
So, how's that "bad feeling" feel now?
Let's just say, I'm gonna keep an eye on you in gym today,
and on these Good Luck-sicles.
Heh heh.
All right, class, it's basketball week!
You know what that means?
We make fun of Johnny all week cos he stinks?
That's right, Hoops!
OK, let's play ball and laugh at Johnny.
-So, still feeling lucky? -We're about to find out.
Hey, Test… Shoot it!
Huh?
Yes! I made a basket!
Well, I bet you can't do that again!
Test! How are you doing that?
Oh, I don't know. Just lucky, I guess.
Your luck can't last forever, Test.
Oh, I bet it lasts all week.
Test! The State Championship game is tonight,
and I'm moving you from gym class
to my star shooter on the Boys' Middle School Team.
But I'm your star shooter.
-Not anymore.
What do you say, Test?
"Johnny Test to play in Championship Tonight!"
You see that, dog? I'm a serious baller now.
-Do you see that?
Johnny!
You're in serious trouble now.
Uh, why are you not in school?
We are.
We're field-testing Porkbelly's abnormal seismological activity.
And we should have known you were behind it,
because you stole the lucky charm!
OK, it can't be called stealing if you bring it back.
Well, what is it called when you're going around town causing horrible luck?
What? It's causing great luck.
Yeah. We found boxes of super-fun stuff, escaped two psycho Dobermans…
And I made the basketball team!
And did you read any of the other stories?
"Local delivery drivers fired for losing boxes of fun stuff."
"Sad Pet Owner pleads, 'Help me find my lovable Dobermans.'"
And what about this one?
"Porkbelly rocked by earthquakes, and they're getting bigger?"
But for me, the charm caused good luck. Boy confused.
Super symmetry.
For every vibrational node, there's a corresponding anti-node.
In English?
Every time you receive good luck,
the universe sends everything else bad luck.
Didn't you notice the huge cracks when you used the pendant?
How do you notice the ground when sweet coats fall from the sky?
OK, I'll stop wearing the charm,
just as soon as I win the basketball championship.
-Guess again.
I have to wear a bad luck charm?
This way, you will attract all the universe's negative vibrations.
And reset Porkbelly's seismic balance with good vibes.
Why does doing the right thing always feel so wrong?
-Johnny! Johnny!
Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!
Test! With all the bad luck in town lately,
Porkbelly needs you to bring them the one thing they truly need.
I know, I know. Seismic balance.
No. That shiny championship trophy.
Now, go get 'em!
All Johnny has to do is wear the bad luck charm…
Until all the cracks are gone and the town is safe again.
Oh, this is not gonna go well.
Test! That was the wrong hoop!
-Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
What was that?
Johnny's bad luck is even sending good vibes to Porkbelly's team.
You hear that, Johnny? Keep getting pummeled!
Got it.
Test! What are you doing?
Resetting all my bones!
Thanks, Johnny! I can play again!
How can I enjoy this game when I lost my delivery job
and can't pay my bills?
-Jackpot!
Come on, more bad luck for Johnny!
Ooh, it's such a great game,
but I still miss my Dobermans.
Dallas! Craig!
You're back!
He did it!
Porkbelly will not be destroyed!
But look, Porkbelly is losing,
and if they don't win, they'll blame Johnny.
And he'll be destroyed.
OK, we only need one basket.
So get the ball to anyone except Test!
He's even worse than he used to be!
Johnny!
You can take off the--
-What?
You can take off the--
Whoa-oh-oh!
Oh! Whoa!
Duh… did you say something?
The town is saved!
Now take off the charm!
Yes! And bye-bye, bad luck!
Phew!
Johnny, shoot it!
Hmm?
Porkbelly wins!
Yaaaaaah!
-Yes!
I had a little good luck left after all.
-Uh-oh.
