It is brilliant what the writers did here. To avoid the episode from being too silly, they made wander more serious for one episode. And in the end, that made it even funnier.
Batman's Sidekick I thought they were going for a Batman and Joker vibe. They even call him in the epsiode some kind of clown/joker if I remember correctly
To be fair he must find Screwball to be an insult to everything he stands for. Like Screwball says, he considers himself and Wander very similar. They both want to "bring joy" to the cosmos but Screwball's idea of doing so is a wicked perversion of Wander's kind idealism! It's very personal for him!
And he nearly lost. Either Dr Screwball is so powerful that a being that danced around Hater and Dominator can nearly not beat him when actively battling him or Wander is just bad at violence.
@cantaloupegodling352 I'd say a but of both...but the two clearly have gone against eachother before...and let's face it..screwball was ready for wander...plus...banjo strings break..accordions dont
Wander seemed like he could be a good fighter but mixed with how personal Screwball was to him in creating happiness across the universe he probably couldn't grasp his mindset or Screwball is just so much more powerful than Hater and Dominator cuz he's not using any negative feelings due to being hurt but his own willingness to force kindness and had the will to plan ahead unlike the other villains
An interesting detail I noticed in this insanely well animated scene is that out of all the villains Wander's ever interacted with, he actually looks worried whenever Screwball gets too close. And the reason that's interesting is that up until Dominator in The End of The Galaxy, there's never been another villain that can bring out that side in Wander. Just that fact alone shows that Wander shouldn't be taken lightly when he says Screwball is dangerous.
Am I the only one here who really appreciates the visuals in this scene? Like holy shit, those are some really gorgeous color palettes, they contrast so well together and are very eye-catching. And then when his string breaks, Wander's colors become all desaturated. And I love that the music notes are actual objects that collide together and get stuck in the wall, I thought that was clever. And of course, Weird Al Fucking Yankovic makes everything 10X more interesting.
Tbh i really admire the music in this The banjo vs the accordion plus the backing track fitting both of the instruments is just beautiful.. Now, im not saying the visuals aren't lovely. With the polished visuals and beautiful music, it automatically makes this a masterpiece ^^
I love how instead of printing out his diploma like a normal person, he just tapes the whole laptop to the wall. It's a nice little added bit of silliness.
uberdude102 He Was Great In MLP: Friendship Is Magic As "Cheese Sandwich". And In Adventure Time As "Banana Man". He's Made 4 Appearences Now. And He'll Make His 5th Appearence In That God Awful Teen Titans Go. If He Makes A 6th Appearence In Regular Show Or Steven Universe, Then He'll Be The Most Frequent Celebrity To Guest Voice In Modern Kids Shows.
Now that would good for the other cartoon shows but man Teen titans Go how will they handle that,i bet they will put him in their and make him a miss moment,but the others i'll watch that
It was a very nice surprise to see Al in this show. When Dr. Screwball first started talking, I was all: "It kinda sounds like Weird Al, but I should check the credits before jumping to conclusions." Then the accordion came out. And he started singing. And then I was all: "Yep. It's Weird Al alright."
All I can say for this episode: Wander was being really serious, so this means dr.screwball is actually a threat. Since he’s nice to everyone! He actually looked scared as well! So maybe wander had a bad past with him? Also this is an amazing episode!
Wander is absolutely not afraid of Hater or even Dominator and barely tries to defeat them but Dr Screwball makes him try his hardest and actually fight back. And Screwball nearly wins. How dangerous is the Banana?
@@cantaloupegodling352 This gets more frightening when you realise that Jones might not let him escape so easily, even Hater and Dominator were not that inescapable for Wander... probably helps that they only see him as a nusience.
I think it's because Dr Screwball "works" on the same type of mindset Wander does, in the song they say "you can't force people to have fun" maybe Wander just has something against that
I remember watching the ending for the first time and thinking “Wow, they’re building this up for way to long. How are they going to end it?” Then I bursts out laughing.
So we have Weird Al voice a villainous clown banana with a P.H.D. who is one of the craziest things in an already insane show. And to top it all of, give him a fucking villain song played in a damn accordion.....THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST IDEAS EVER!!!!!!
And why not have the normally super cheerful protagonist turn into Batman for that one episode, and during said villain song the two of them engage in a banjo vs accordion battle?
Just when you think this couldn't get any better or funnier... ...Craig McCracken confirmed there'd be a second Screwball episode!!! This man is A GOD among Cartoon Creators!
*Insert Original Username Here* this battle scene is completely ridiculous and nonsensical but its fun to watch. Definitely not epic though... WOY shouldn't be considered "epic"
The fact that Wander easily escapes extremely powerful beings like Hater and Dominator while just playing around and being nice. How powerful is Dr Jones if he can match Wander when he's actively trying to defeat him.
Dang, that makes this fight more scary... I hate to think what would have happened if Wander couldn't escape; he was lucky Sylvia was with him, otherwise it could have turned out really bad...
I take it that he takes it seriously because Dr. Screwball makes a bastardization of what his purpose in his life is by presenting it by simply being tickled for all eternity. That's like being jumpscared for all eternity. Sure you should be scared for a moment but it'll quickly be quickly repetitive and torturous.
I always wonder what would have happened if Dr.Screwball hadn't stopped at the last second for the comedic effect like he did... Wander was down for the count and Screwball could have easily finished him off
It may be just me, but this guy is terrifying the more I think of this scene; I'll try and explain why All the other villains want to destroy or make Wander suffer, sometimes for revenge; this guy wants him alive for sinister purposes and perhaps has been after him for a while, because of this line: "Why do you continue to resist me?" Villains like Hater and Dominator just want to rule the galaxy or obliterate it; this one wants to make everyone happy, even againest their free will; in fact, going by what he said before the song, he won't do it to just one galaxy, as opposed to everyone else that seem content with only this one, and he doesn't appear to see himself as evil Wander sees every enemy as a friend he hasn't met yet... but why is this the only one he wants to avoid? I believe that Wander's hero disguise is some sort of coping mechanism, seeing how scared he is of Jones; notice how he hasn't used it for anyone else, which probably means he feels safe around them... yes, I said it. Wander feels safe around DOMINATOR, for the love of Grop Also, everyone on the leaderboard knows or met one another e.g. Hater and Awesome sometimes clash heads with each other, Sourdough hosted a party that about five of them attended, Peepers seems to keep himself updated with information of any competition like Dominator... Wander is the only one that knows Jones and he's a good guy Every other conqueror is fueled by negative emotions like hate, narcisism, greed... how can you defeat someone who uses happiness? Flarp, I still hope that Peepers was supposed to be the main Villain in season 3 instead of this joker that some fans are suggesting! (I have explained why I think Peepers in the comments of another video, a clip from The End of the Galaxy)
@@SidusuC I think my last part of my comment was a bit misleading, as I was referring to the comments section of the other clip. I've just changed it now to be a bit more clear. Sorry for any confusion. I'm actually flattered that you would like to see a video of me talking about this; I didn't think it was that good. Sadly, I lack the equipment and the editing skills to make one, but you or anyone else are welcome to make a video based on this. 👍
I agree with what you said, but I think perhaps the biggest danger is that unlike Awesome's self-aware (and rather adolescent) narcissism, the fact that Screwball considers himself a good guy (and is overwhelmingly more powerful than Brad Starlight) means his potential to turn people off to joy is far greater than the other villains. The other villains want to crush hopes of resistance, while Screwball is unaware that others may resist him by resenting joy altogether. Thus, in a sense Wander and Screwball have similar objectives on the surface: to spread joy. But the underlying basis for the joy Wander wants to spread is based on mutual wellbeing. The underlying basis for Screwball is making others addicted to him like a drug. In that sense he isn't unlike Little Bits, but while she is actively manipulative and her methods have no direct impact when her influence isn't involved Screwball creates a perpetuity to the misery he spreads that even he doesn't realize he is doing, and likely wouldn't care if he did.
@@101jir You do raise up a lot of good points. I think it's interesting that you mentioned Brad Starlight, because both he and Screwball are, more or less, delusional, although it's possible Brad's growing out of this, even if he still calls Wander and Sylvia a silly sidekick and dumb steed. Now that I think about it, Jones could be the enboiment of toxic joy, which is worse that what the other villains have done. You see, all of them rely on physical pain, even ones like Lil Bits and Sourdough, which can be healed with the right treatment; Screwball, on the other hand, can do emotional pain, something that takes place on the inside of the person who's been infected. How can you fix something that you can't see? At least with Lil Bits, Sylvia has proven that people can be immune to her powers; helps that she tends to use trickery, something that anyone can notice. On a side note, glad I'm not the only one to see that Brad Starlight is a villain, even if he makes Hater look more competant than normal 😅
@Alice Wiegold I mostly agree, but I think the biggest danger of Screwball has much more to do with how his methods combine "joy" with pain, joy being poorly labeled. This can lead to internal confusion on the part of his victims, and if wrongly processed can lead to a lifetime of misery. Brad Starlight, despite his delusion, just makes others annoyed/uncomfortable. Most villains cause pain directly. I have my own theories regarding the Black Cube, but it is off topic. It isn't the inability to see it as much as the potential to poison people's emotions to hate joy itself that I see as the main issue.
honestly? really loving wander's dismayed/creeped out expressions in this bit. you always see him with a smile, so seeing him with new expressions is refreshing! also i like to see my favorite characters suffer.
Wander would probably be so shocked that he wouldn't fight back, instead just try to destroy the machine... which could make a big enough distraction for Jones to overpower him easier than this scene... (Spoilers from My Fair Hatey) I know it's odd to say this, but Dominator actually did everyone a favour by capturing him, although I imagine that was no easy task.
the grandpa cup from parappa the rapper 2's box art It's a TRIPLE PUN. "Lick" can be used to refer to the act of touching something, such as a lollipop stick with your tongue. It can also mean "lick" as in punching someone. "Lick" is ALSO a MUSICAL term.
something that I felt like was on purpose was that the "power of fun" of sorts is an insane kind of power, Wander uses this to help others as much as he can, always pulling things out of his hat, always coming out on top in the end, and yet screwball has found this out and used this to his advantage, making his entire arsenal an array of jokes and slapstick items, all part of the "power of fun" which even at not its highest form can defeat someone strong and ruthless enough to want to destroy the entire universe!
Wander: (panting) Wait. I got one last pun for you. Dr. Screwball Jones: Ooh, ooh, ooh. Let me guess. Um, uh, you're ending on a sour note? Hee-hee-hee! Or you snapped your c-sharp so now you "B-flat?" Ha-ha! Wander: (pants) How about... who's laughing now?
Wander and Screwball have different views of making happiness - Screweball would go far to torture everyone to make them laugh while Wander wanted everyone to be happy on their own.
First My Little Pony, then Uncle Grandpa, Gravity Falls and Wander Over Yonder. Weird Al's got a lot of cameos for his resume! I for one would love to see him SOMEHOW in Steven Universe.
1:32 I love how smooth the animation looks at this point, and how the color palette changes. It looks classic somehow, but I can't put my finger on it.
I wish they did an episode where it's Hater vs Screwball. Hater was pretty shocked and pissed when he heard Wander considered Screwball the "greatest villain in the galaxy" after all. So why wouldn't have Hater wanted to take Screwball down to prove to Wander that he was the bigger threat?
I'd imagine if Dr. Screwball was an actual comicbook super villain. His powers would be like Music Meister. If he makes you laugh or even Smirk, you're unable to stop laughing until he's defeated. So only people who are completely joyless like the Punisher can defeat him.
I just realized that this guy's machine is a perfect counter to Lord Hater's abilities. Hater wouldn't even be able to get angry to destroy anything, he would always be laughing, forever. As ridicilous as Screwball is, he is an actual threat if he wants to be
2:18 If I remember correctly, this could be a reference to a reference sheet for Wander's design, where it says something along the lines of "Wander isn't a popsicle stick!".
Here's a fun little theory about the magical musical instruments: How powerful an instrument is in a sense like Wander and Dr.Jones are using them here is directly related to how complex they are to play; meaning that even the smaller Concertina that Screwball is wielding is more powerful than a string instrument like Wander's banjo; a concertina is still way more complicated to play than a banjo is, even if an accordion is more complex than its smaller cousin
VillagerBoy527 From Vine i stopped watching that when it got all artsy and dark. did he do a cameo in Adventure Time? more importantly, was there an accordion?
Truly the best villain of all time 10/10. a work of pure evil. the scariest and most intimidating villain ever made. FUCK: Frieza Scar Yellow Diamond Vicious Dominator Hisoka and any other big time villain you could think of This man truly is the scariest
Wander(Deep voice):"Screwball, you try to hard."Dr.Screwball(Singing):"Doctor Screwball, I'v got an online P.H.D !"Wander(Deep voice)(Singing):"Folks should be free to find their own happiness. You can't force them to have fun!"Dr.Screwball(Singing):"Sure I can. watch this"(Doctor Screwball plays accordion and purple energy fires out.)Dr.Screwball:"Accordion!"(The purple energy charges towards Wander but doges and runs everywhere, and pulls out his banjo.)Wander(Deep voice):"Banjo retort!"(Wander plays his banjo and green energy fires out.)
Weird Al has been in a lot of cartoons lately. I love it :) He was great as Cheese Sandwich in MLP and I love the idea of him as a pun based banana villain
And to finish the episode off, the ultimate PowerPuff Girls reference. Craig McCracken created that show too. Tom Kenny voiced the narrator in PPG, and now he voices Peepers, who says: "Looks like once again, the day is saved. Thanks to..." I love it!
I watched this episode and I can honestly say, Wander, you are truly amazing and the best hero I’ve ever seen. You’re so epic the way you made up that joke at the beginning when you challenged Screwball to a fight. Did you know that we used to have a pony named Screwball in Equestria before my magic disappeared? Boy, that mare was crazy just like this villain. Did that villain, Screwball make plots to make people laugh all the time? He kinda reminds me of a villain in mind that I used to study. His name was Discord. He was the spirit of disharmony and chaos. Maybe Screwball needs to be reformed. But you know, not all villains are like that. Still, Wander, as a awesome hero, you make a good friend and a friends help a friend in need. I’m so proud that you accomplished defeating Screwball and rescued your loyal steed, Sylvia in time. As a unicorn myself, I can be artistic and I can paint something for you and Sylvia. *gives Wander and Sylvia a picture of my painting* 🎨 🖼

It’s really surprising that Screwball is the only villain that Wander tried to intentionally hurt.
And not only that, but almost lost to it, kinda justifying the violence.
To be fair he must find Screwball to be an insult to everything he stands for. Like Screwball says, he considers himself and Wander very similar. They both want to "bring joy" to the cosmos but Screwball's idea of doing so is a wicked perversion of Wander's kind idealism!
It's very personal for him!
And he nearly lost. Either Dr Screwball is so powerful that a being that danced around Hater and Dominator can nearly not beat him when actively battling him or Wander is just bad at violence.

Every song in this show is well made, this isn't an exception
It’s Weird Al
Are you sure he's a peanut? I always thought he looked more like a spoon.
All I can say for this episode:
Wander was being really serious, so this means dr.screwball is actually a threat. Since he’s nice to everyone!
He actually looked scared as well! So maybe wander had a bad past with him? Also this is an amazing episode!
It makes you wonder what happened that he rather be friends with villains like Hater and Dominator

And why not have the normally super cheerful protagonist turn into Batman for that one episode, and during said villain song the two of them engage in a banjo vs accordion battle?

also i like to see my favorite characters suffer.
idk why but same
Bro watching him suffer is like ASMR to me
@@Tfffueant Ayo what-
@@HeenaScribbles that's what I used to think.
So it isn't just me.
2:23 - Disney hitting Wander with cancellations.

from batman and robin. screwball is mr freeze
Mandie Haley I eas looking for this comment
Fun fact:Commander Peeper is voiced by Tom Kenny, The voice of The Penguin from "The Batman 2004 series."
So funny when he says "SO LEEEEEEETTTTT THE PUUUUNNNNNNNN FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. crime.
I love the Blend of accordion and banjo at the end it just sounds amazing.
When you realize that he can make people literally die laughing with his machine
imagine if he mentioned that to wander
Wander would probably be so shocked that he wouldn't fight back, instead just try to destroy the machine... which could make a big enough distraction for Jones to overpower him easier than this scene...
(Spoilers from My Fair Hatey)
I know it's odd to say this, but Dominator actually did everyone a favour by capturing him, although I imagine that was no easy task.
"How are you, just like a lollypop stick! IN THE END YOUR BOTH WORN DOWN BY THE FORCE OF MY LICKS!"
Holy shit Weird Al, that was good.
the grandpa cup from parappa the rapper 2's box art It's a TRIPLE PUN. "Lick" can be used to refer to the act of touching something, such as a lollipop stick with your tongue. It can also mean "lick" as in punching someone. "Lick" is ALSO a MUSICAL term.
something that I felt like was on purpose was that the "power of fun" of sorts is an insane kind of power, Wander uses this to help others as much as he can, always pulling things out of his hat, always coming out on top in the end, and yet screwball has found this out and used this to his advantage, making his entire arsenal an array of jokes and slapstick items, all part of the "power of fun" which even at not its highest form can defeat someone strong and ruthless enough to want to destroy the entire universe!
Wander: (panting) Wait. I got one last pun for you.
Dr. Screwball Jones: Ooh, ooh, ooh. Let me guess. Um, uh, you're ending on a sour note? Hee-hee-hee! Or you snapped your c-sharp so now you "B-flat?" Ha-ha!
Wander: (pants) How about... who's laughing now?
Screwball:(Gasps) Hahahahahahahahahahhahah I GUESS IT WAS FUN FOR ME ANYWAY HAHAHAHAHA CUUURRSE YOU WAAANNNDERRRRR
@@kincaidmaull3041 Commander Peeper:" *And so once again, the day is saved! Thanks to...* Wander and Sylvia."Lord Hater:"Meh."
I never imagined how good an accordion and a banjo could sound together👏🏼
Amen
Can we talk about how good the banjo retort was
Wander and Screwball have different views of making happiness - Screweball would go far to torture everyone to make them laugh while Wander wanted everyone to be happy on their own.
This is the only time we will ever see wander truly being serious for the right context
Having Jack McBrayer and Weird Al fight is incredibly dangerous
The team behind WOY we’re rolling their cards with the end of the human race wit this
So leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet the puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnn fffffffiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttt thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeee crime. XD
Lol
LEEEEEEEEEEET THEEEEEE PUUUUN FIIIIT THEEE
crime.
That shit got me on the floor laughing xD
Same
OMG XD
That last part though
crime.
THEEEEEEEEEEEEE crime... (That moment you remember "ah crud what im doing is evil and stuff")
Yay XD
The way it ended thoughh
_"LET THE PUN FITT THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE_
crime."😂
First My Little Pony, then Uncle Grandpa, Gravity Falls and Wander Over Yonder. Weird Al's got a lot of cameos for his resume! I for one would love to see him SOMEHOW in Steven Universe.
All Weird Al actually needs to put on his résumé is his name.
Totally forgot banana man in Adventure time. Geez, he's becoming the Stan lee of cartoons, and doesn't even make any!
Transformers Animated as well.
+KyleNewtonKahneFan41 "I am Wreck-gar and I dare to be stupid"
Possibly. Maybe either as a human character or as a fusion between Steven and someone besides Connie.
No matter how many times I listen to this the ending always has me cracking up it's just such a sudden shift
I think the reason wander takes this villain so seriously is because he is just like wander, a cartoony trickster
You know a song is going to be amazing when Weird Al pulls out the accordion.
0:48 Wander realizing Dr. Screwball is Weird Al
Erin F
OMG so true, so true
A hero with a deep voice that has on a cape and a mask and fights against an evil joker
Where have I seen THAT before?
1:32 I love how smooth the animation looks at this point, and how the color palette changes. It looks classic somehow, but I can't put my finger on it.
its got some disney fantasia vibes, yeah!
Nothing can defeat the reality bending power of song and dance!
I wish they did an episode where it's Hater vs Screwball. Hater was pretty shocked and pissed when he heard Wander considered Screwball the "greatest villain in the galaxy" after all. So why wouldn't have Hater wanted to take Screwball down to prove to Wander that he was the bigger threat?
I wanna see that now... my bet is on Hater winning through sheer dumb luck 😅
You gotta love the animation is this scene
that's why music battles are always better in cartoons then real life
This is like the relationship between Batman and Joker
if there was a videogame for wander over yonder this would definitely be the the best boss fight ever who agrees with me.
Holy crud, it just occurred to me Screwball has a /hand/lebar mustache
+TheVerminGod holy crap
Ohmahgawd
I didnt even notice that
Even his facial hair is a pun
Man it’s been a while since I watched this show. It’s still just as good as I remember it.
I love how they gave him an accordion and him a banjo. It made for a very festive fight :)
Finally Wander has an arch enemy!
When Wander is serious in the weirdest episode XD
First Cheese Sandwich now this!?
Weird Al gets around!
And now it's Milo Murphy.
TheBestGamer Weird All voices Milo Murphy?
Hasan Raza
That's right.
TheBestGamer I now have 100x more respect for Milo Murphy's Law. Weird Al deserves a show to himself.
And Probabilitor the Annoying, and Banana Man.
What's next, Steven Universe?
when a banana and a bad joke had a baby screw ball was born
This is what finally got me to watch this show
1:38 can we APPRECIATE that twirl??
Banjo retort!
I'd imagine if Dr. Screwball was an actual comicbook super villain. His powers would be like Music Meister. If he makes you laugh or even Smirk, you're unable to stop laughing until he's defeated. So only people who are completely joyless like the Punisher can defeat him.
The ending of the song was so anticlimactic that it was perfect
is it me or does anyone else think this is suprisingly cool for a kids show
*tHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* crime.
2:30 is so funny for multiple reasons. Mainly:
"SOO LET THE PUN FIT THEEEEEE-
crime"
I just realized that this guy's machine is a perfect counter to Lord Hater's abilities. Hater wouldn't even be able to get angry to destroy anything, he would always be laughing, forever.
As ridicilous as Screwball is, he is an actual threat if he wants to be
2:18 If I remember correctly, this could be a reference to a reference sheet for Wander's design, where it says something along the lines of "Wander isn't a popsicle stick!".
Also this reference was in “the toddler” episode
"LEEEEEEEEEET THE PUUUUUUUUUUN FIIIIIIIIIIT THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
*crime."*
I just realized that Screwball has a HANDlebar mustache. This fracking cartoon.
We bOtH WanT tO SpReaD jOy tHoUghOut tHE UnIverse!😂
And Dr.Screwball's head looks like Bill Cipher
Agreed
+Justin Li I think NOT!
! Exactly !
Looks more like a banana than a nacho to me, though
I take it back. The top of his head DOES look like Bill
The one guy wander hates, his ONE enemy.
This was definitely the perfect villain for Weird Al to play.
The animation for this scene is fantastic! In fact the animation for the entire series is gorgeous!
Wander: Batman
Screwball: Joker
Peepers:The Penguin
This show is legit a masterpiece.
“SO LETTT THE PUNNNN FITTTTT THHEEEEEE” “Crime. 😐”
Here's a fun little theory about the magical musical instruments:
How powerful an instrument is in a sense like Wander and Dr.Jones are using them here is directly related to how complex they are to play; meaning that even the smaller Concertina that Screwball is wielding is more powerful than a string instrument like Wander's banjo; a concertina is still way more complicated to play than a banjo is, even if an accordion is more complex than its smaller cousin
OF COURSE. every Weird Al cameo MUST include an accordion - except Gravity Falls, for some reason.
***** yeah, but there was no accordion.
What about Adventure Time?
VillagerBoy527 From Vine i stopped watching that when it got all artsy and dark. did he do a cameo in Adventure Time? more importantly, was there an accordion?
+TheLastHylianTitan He played Banana-Man in the show. And no, there was not an accordion.
Weird Al was also the Banana Man on Adventure Time and he didn't have an accordion.
Truly the best villain of all time 10/10. a work of pure evil. the scariest and most intimidating villain ever made.
FUCK:
Frieza
Scar
Yellow Diamond
Vicious
Dominator
Hisoka
and any other big time villain you could think of
This man truly is the scariest
Bill Cipher.
SO
LET
THE
PUN
FIT
THE
crime
The fact that Weird Al Yankovic was in this episode
This episode kept me up all night
That end broke me.
Wander(Deep voice):"Screwball, you try to hard."Dr.Screwball(Singing):"Doctor Screwball, I'v got an online P.H.D !"Wander(Deep voice)(Singing):"Folks should be free to find their own happiness. You can't force them to have fun!"Dr.Screwball(Singing):"Sure I can. watch this"(Doctor Screwball plays accordion and purple energy fires out.)Dr.Screwball:"Accordion!"(The purple energy charges towards Wander but doges and runs everywhere, and pulls out his banjo.)Wander(Deep voice):"Banjo retort!"(Wander plays his banjo and green energy fires out.)
this is bill cipher before his turned into a triangle.
Dania ZBA or it is bill's dad
(I dont remember his name) : WHY ARE OUR SON IS A DORITO??
+Dania ZBA Screwball would probably just take the opportunity to immediately make bad puns about it if he had a dorito son. Let's be honest here. XD
Criminally Nerdy Yep! But i dont know what puns should i do. :/
Dania ZBA There's probably some material online you could work off of. That's what I do since I'm not good at coming up with puns right off the bat.
I thought I recognized Weird Al's voice
And then the polka music started and I had absolutely zero doubt
Yeah.
I also theorize that he played his part himself, i.e played the accordion parts.
Weird Al: voices a banana
Also Weird Al: says a single sentence for the single banana a whole season later
Weird Al has been in a lot of cartoons lately. I love it :)
He was great as Cheese Sandwich in MLP
and I love the idea of him as a pun based banana villain
The ending gets me every time XD
And to finish the episode off, the ultimate PowerPuff Girls reference.
Craig McCracken created that show too.
Tom Kenny voiced the narrator in PPG, and now he voices Peepers, who says: "Looks like once again, the day is saved. Thanks to..."
I love it!
my friend hates this show... that's... I don't know why I hang out with him.
What's next? He likes Teen Titans Go?
Pffft. Yeah, right; nobody would be _that_ stupid.
I watched this episode and I can honestly say, Wander, you are truly amazing and the best hero I’ve ever seen. You’re so epic the way you made up that joke at the beginning when you challenged Screwball to a fight. Did you know that we used to have a pony named Screwball in Equestria before my magic disappeared? Boy, that mare was crazy just like this villain. Did that villain, Screwball make plots to make people laugh all the time? He kinda reminds me of a villain in mind that I used to study. His name was Discord. He was the spirit of disharmony and chaos. Maybe Screwball needs to be reformed. But you know, not all villains are like that. Still, Wander, as a awesome hero, you make a good friend and a friends help a friend in need. I’m so proud that you accomplished defeating Screwball and rescued your loyal steed, Sylvia in time. As a unicorn myself, I can be artistic and I can paint something for you and Sylvia. *gives Wander and Sylvia a picture of my painting* 🎨 🖼
Is it just me, or does Screwball Jones have an amazing voice
Have you heard of Weird Al Yankovic? You should look him up. :p
0:31
I think I've found the cause for Screwball's lunacy. Bill Cypher is hiding in his head!
+ryaku5 O.O You're right! I see Bill there!
+ryaku5 OMG
where?
Look at Dr. Screwball's forehead. Doesn't that circle look like Bill's eye?
That's there for the intire video
It’s like watching Batman and Joker fight when they’re at their goofiest.
