Mmmmaooooooo --
[ Doorbell rings ]Whoa! Oof!
Hello? Winner!
Wow, Badgerclops,
you're amazing!
Yeah! Yeah.
Let's go again!Oh, it's on.
[ Doorbells ringing ]
[ Coughs ]
Ugh!
Mao Mao: Why isn't anyone
answering the door?!
Dude,
it's just a video game.
Ugh!
Hello? Winner!
Hello? Winner!
That was the funnest one yet!
Fun?
W-What do you mean, fun?
You just got your butt
kicked like five times.
758.
75--
Why are you still trying?!
It doesn't really matter
if I lose.
I always have fun playing.
Adorabat, hand me
that controller.
I'll show you
the sweet taste of victory.[ Doorbells ringing ]
Hello? Winner!
What? [ Growls ][ Doorbells ringing ]
Hello? Hello? Hello? Winner! Winner! Winner!
You were so close that time.
[ Yawns ]
Give it up, dude.
You can't out-ding
these danglers.
[ Doorbell ringing ]
Hello? Winner!
Oh, what?
That's weak, man.
Why didn't you fight?
Does your tummy hurt?
Because, Adorabat,
it's a waste of time
to fight a battle
you know you can't win.
Waste of time?
Precisely.
Ohh!
You said I'm better than you!
Victory in the digital world
is meaningless!
Besides, a hero's energy
is better spent
on something more
worthwhile, like...
this -- the annual
thumb-war competition!
A thumb war?I wanna go, I wanna go,
I wanna go, I wanna go,
Ooh! Mm!I wanna go,
I wanna go, I wanna go!
That's right, my friends.
If you want to see how a real
warrior uses their thumbs,
this is the place to be.
Why do you even want to do this?
A little lower.
You know it's a sweetie-pie
thing, right?
What are you talking about?
It's a war.
Besides, it has everything
a hero could want.
Honor! Glory!Dude,
that's the same thing.
Uh, riches! And a coupon
for bottomless breadsticks.
I wanna go, I wanna go,
I wanna go...Wait, where's Badgerclops?
Come on.
Let's get going, already.
I want to get
that coupon.
Welcome to the annual
thumb-war competition!
Our champions will compete in
glorious thumb-to-thumb combat,
mostly to please me
because I'm very bored.
Hey, what's going on?Oh, my word!
Hey, I want
one of those lollipops.
Eh! Be gone, peasant![ Crash! ]
And now our competitors
will be sorted
into the tournament bracket
by their weight.
Oh, jolly!
Our new Sheriff is competing.
Tell me, are you going to try
for first place?
Try? Ha!
I've been training months
for this competition,
pushing my thumbs
to their very limits.
The others don't stand
a chance.
So, you think you can beat
Big Thumb Pete?
Say-who-what, now?Audience: Big Thumb Pete!
Big Thumb Pete!
Big Thumb Pete!
Hyuk, hyuk!
That's me!
[ Laughs ]
Our returning champion!
Oh, we all remember the show
he gave us last year.
[ Bell dings ]First place goes
to Big Thumb Pete!
[ Sobbing ]
Ooh, how wonderfully
tragic that was.
Oh, good luck, Sheriff.
[ Laughs ]
[ All chanting
"Big Thumb Pete!" ]
Ha! Chump. Wait till they see
these opposables.
Guess "the gloves are off,"
huh?
[ Chuckles ]
Don't ever kid
about such a thing.
It's an expression,
dude.
Let the tournament begin!
[ Cheers and applause ]
First up, Adorabat
versus Chubbum.
Let's get things started.
Thumb war --
ready, set, gooooo!
Both: 1, 2, 3, 4,
I declare a thumb war!
5, 6, 7, 8, try to keep
your thumb straight!
Adorabat: [ Grunting ]
Oh!
[ Grunting ]
Well, if you're not
gonna start, I will.
[ Gasps ]
Match -- Chubbum!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, how sad.
Hey, put those down!You're not
the king of food.
Those are wax, you fool!
Well, at least the next match
should be more exciting --
Mao Mao versus
Mail Mole.
Hey.
Afternoon there, Sheriff.
You think you can defeat me,
Mail Mole?
Hey, you know,
who can know?
I'm just here
to have fun.
[ Chuckles ]
Pathetic.
Thumb war --
ready, set, gooooo!
[ Glass shatters ]
Ouch.
That is pain.
[ Bell dings ]Match -- Mao Mao!
That's right. There's not anyone
who can beat these thumbs.
[ Chuckles ]
Oh, how needlessly cruel.
Now for the heavy hitters --
Badgerclops versus Lucky.
Yeah! Go, Lucky!
Wreck him!
♪♪
[ Dink! Dink! ]
[ Whispering ]Mm. Forfeit!
Pinky: What?!Match -- Badgerclops!
[ Audience gasps ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
On to the next challengers.
[ Bell dings ]Match -- Ketchup!
[ Bell dings ]Match -- Mao Mao!
[ Bell dings ]Match -- Badgerclops!
♪♪
Hey, don't worry, buddy.
You got this in the bag.
Alrighty.
Here I go.
I think she's got this one.
Slothsmith is so s--
-Match -- Slothsmith!
-Whoa!
Aw, phooey!
[ Bell dings ]Match -- Mao Mao!
[ Bell dings ]Match -- Badgerclops!
Huh, got a lot of forfeits
this year. [ Chuckles ]
And now for a brief intermission
before the semi-finals.
[ Cheering ]
Ah. I can practically
smell first place.
[ Sniffs deeply ] Mmm.Uh, dude, I think
those are your gloves.
Oh, hey, Adorabat.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
But I'm not even sure I can last
a round with these next guys.
Hey, that never stopped you
from tryin' before.
[ Laughs ]
I guess you're right.
Pfft! If I knew I couldn't win,
I wouldn't even bother.
It's a waste of time
and energy.
Luckily for me,
I've got this thing
in the bag.
Oh, geez, what's that smell?
Stinky gloves?
Hey, hey!
These gloves aren't regulation!
How could you not see
he was wearing gloves?
Even I, with my broken thumb,
could see it.
You're disqualified
for sassing me.
I'm going to have
to confiscate those.
Uh, no.
These gloves never come off.
Hey. Quit it. Quit it.
Get off! Leave them alone!
You can't compete
with gloves!You're not getting --
Regulations!Stop! No! Noooo!
[ Gasps ]What?
Ooh!Ha! Look at those nubs!
Aah!
Oh, I'm gonna touch those
later.
Everyone's
gonna love this.
Oh, come on, Sheriff.
There's no shame in havin'
little, non-opposable thumbs.
Besides...
[menacingly]
you're gonna lose.
[ Normally ] Hyuk, hyuk!
Oh, good luck out there,
Sheriff!
You can have these back after
you finish the tournament.
[ Sighs ]
Not like that'll be long.
Whoa,
what do you mean by that?
There's no way I can beat
Big Thumb Pete
with these.
I'm just gonna let it end
as quickly as possible.
Bro, don't tell me you're doing
that thing where you give up.
I'm not giving up. Giving up
would be a stain on my honor.
Wow, that's really big
of you --Oh, no, no, no, no.
You misunderstand.
I'm not "giving up."
I'm refusing
to participate.
There's a difference.
What about
just having fun?
Fun?
Don't be ridiculous.
Having fun is pointless
if you can't win.
So yeah, I'll participate
to protect my honor,
but I'm not gonna waste
my time putting up a fight.
King Snugglemagne:
Ahem! Uh, Sheriff!
Your presence is requested
at the ring!
Sheriff Mao Mao!Ugh.
Let's get this over with.
Stupid,
pointless waste of time.
Pointless waste of time.Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, Adorabat, I thought
you were excited.
What's the point?
I'm just gonna lose.
Mao Mao's right.
It's just a waste of energy.
That was a really fun match,
Adorabat.
High five.
Eh.
-Oh.
-Yeesh.
Yeah,
just a waste of energy.
Oh, what an exciting match
this is --
the good Sheriff Mao Mao
and our very own Big Thumb Pete!
Oh, wait, where
did his thumbs go?
Oh, there they are.
[ Audience "awws" ]
I have a microphone.
Whoa!Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk, hyuk.
I hope you're enjoyin'
your first tournament, Sheriff,
[menacingly ] 'cause it's gonna
be your last!
[ Audience chanting
"Big Thumb Pete!" ]
[ Groans ]
Oh, come on, Adorabat.
Don't be like that.
[ Grumbles ]There you go.
[ Sighs ]
[ Groans ]
Let's just get this over with.
Thumb war --
ready, set, gooooo!
1, 2...
Count slower!
I'm rather enjoying this.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Slowly ] Ooooooone...
Hey, Adorabat, how about a round
of "Doorbell Danglers?"
It'll warm you up
before your next match.
Nah, it's okay.
But you love
"Doorbell Danglers."
...twooooooo...
Doesn't really matter.
Can't beat you, anyway.
Can't beat anyonehere.
Might as well just...
[slowly]
giiiiiiive uuuuuuup.
[ Gasps ]
Is Adorabat giving up
'cause she's been watching me
do that this whole time?
[ Groans]
I'm so pathetic!
I've fought enough battles
to know when it's not worth it,
but Adorabat hasn't.
I should have been
cheering her on
instead of
talking her down.
You givin' up?
Hyuk!
I haven't even tried yet.
Hyaaaaah!
Yah!

Where's Adorabat?!Mao Mao!
Adorabat,
did you see me?
Oh, what a rush!
You're not upset
you lost?
Oh, forget all that!
I've been so obsessed
with becoming a legend,
I'd forgotten
the value of trying.
What did you call it?
Ha, fun.
Get off the stage!
[ Microphone whines ]
Today was the most fun,
ever!
You fought valiantly.
I'm very proud of you.
Boom!
Oh, how'd you do,
Adorabat?
Really good!
It's for participation!
Alright!
They recognized you were here!
I did pretty good,
myself.What?
You did nothing to prepare
for this, and you won?
Uh, yeah.
I bribed everyone.
I don't actually need the money.
I just like the gesture.

of today --
stone-cold bribery.
