Thanks for the lift, Glitch.
I'm glad we could help Grandpa with the errands.
Plus, we got to stop for smoothies.
Glitch: Of course.
It is always a pleasure assisting the Tennyson family.
Ben: [ Groans ]
Does my charging of your device displease you,
Benjamin?
-Ugh. -Don't worry, Glitch.
He's just caught up in his show again.
Ugh, I wish I could be.
Unfortunately, I think Xingo's lost his touch.
I'm surprised you still watch his show,
considering everything he's put you through.
Of course I watch.
He's a comedic genius.
At least he used to be.
But this is a train wreck.
The writing is inconsistent, Spleen is gone,
even the animation quality has gone down.
Ugh, this pains me so.
I can't believe it's come to this.
Childhood ruined.
This is the worst day ever.
My smoothie! [ Electricity crackling ]
System malfunctioning.
Um...whoa!
[ Sighs ] Glitch, turn it around.
Hello? [ Cheers and applause ]
Um... Benny boy, welcome home!
[ Laughter ] Xingo, why'd you bring me here?
[ Chuckles ] Benny boy, you know why.
It's the Xingo/Ben Tennyson crossover.
Ignore that.
Xingo: ♪ Livin' in the city, life can be hard ♪

♪ Scooby-doop-da, "Xingo's World" ♪
Xingo's world was filmed in front
of an animated studio audience.
So, tell me, son, what's eating ya?
I am not doing whatever this is, Xingo.
[ Audience "oohs" ]
[ Chuckles ]
Now, now, son. Heh.
[ Hushed ] Just play along.
What? No. [ Audience "oohs" ]
Oh, hi, Dad. Hi, Ben.
Bizmark, what did I tell you about bringing down the house?
[ Crickets chirping ]
Come on, Xingo, you know this isn't funny.
Why are you stooping to this level?
And why isn't my body moving when I'm talking to you?
Oh, no. This isn't working either.
I need to up the ante.
[ Rumbling ] Huh? What was that?
I don't know what that is, but I'm not waiting to find out.
My son's an alien?!
[ Audience gasps ]
Alright, time to -- [ Monstrous roaring ]
What? -Oh, a monster!
What are we going to do?
Oh, no, monster, please!
Take me! Spare my kids!
Oh, the humanity!
It's so scary.
There's nothing there.
-Still not enough. -That's it, Xingo.
You're gonna tell me what's going on
and why you're like this.
You tell me.
For some reason my budget keeps getting cut.
-Budget? -You know, cash, moola, money.
No money means no animation.
No animation?
Wait, so that means... -Correct.
No money, no animation, no Xingo.
And since you're in here now, no Ben Tennyson either.
What? I'll disappear, too?
Xingo, you got to let me out of here.
If you want out, you got to help me save my show.
What makes you think I could help you?
You're a kid.
You should know what kids like these days.
You're right. What do I like?
Oh! What about an action show?
That's a great idea.
[ Snaps fingers ]
Okay, I'm liking this.
Now we just need something to fight.
Something to fight, huh?
I think I've got that covered.
But, Xingo, you aren't exactly --
[ Gasps ]
You like it? Just whipped up this bad boy.
A Xingo-bot?
I've never seen anything more beautiful.
You ain't seen nothing yet, sonny.
Oops, forgot we're not doing the sitcom anymore.
In any case, let's get started.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
♪♪
Hold up. What in the world was that?
Hey, this is one of those cheap animation tricks
that always happens on "Lucky Girl."
What are you talking about?
It looks like any other action show to me.
It's seems to be working.
Ugh, I'm not so sure.
Wait. What's going on?
Come on, Xingo. Really?
One of those reused fights?
Aren't we trying to save your show?
Come on, it's -- it's working just fine.
You better be right.
[ Groans ]
Dumb watch. -It's okay.
I-It's gonna be okay.
We'll just reuse the previous fight again.
What? How is this even possible?
And where are all the lasers even coming from?
It's not working.
It is working!
Wait, Xingo, I'm still timed out.
Come on, you piece of junk.
♪♪
Yes. [ Smooches ]
Whoa!
♪♪
Uh, Xingo?
I don't think that was supposed to happen.
Xingo? You won't take me alive, alien!
Man, talk about commitment to the art.
[ Grunts ]
No, no, no, no, no!
I thought for sure this was it.
One of these has to help get it back up.
-Uh, Xingo? -Plucky one liners?
No, that's not it. Dark comedy?
What happened to the mech?
But then how can you see the hammers and anvils?
Rom-com? What in the world is a rom-com?
I mean, your show's not really known for that, but --
I just don't get it.
I've been trying everything,
everything I can to save the show.
But nothing's coming out right.
Oh, come on.
Is it so hard to align me in the right spot?
What happened to you?
Aah! What happened to me?!
I'm still cut in half!
My life as a hero's over.
Who am I even?!
[ Crying ]
Oh, great.
Even more of the budget is slipping away.
It's okay. Everything will be fi--
Xingo, you got to get me out of here, Xingo.
I can't disappear. I have way too much to live for.
One of those cards has to be it!
I'm trying, but I'm at a loss.
You can't be.
If you're at a loss, I'm at a loss.
Gwen: One strawberry banana smoothie, please.
-Coming right up. -Gwen?
Don't tell me you were sucked into Xingo's World, too.
Thankfully, I wasn't.
Then where are you?
I'm back in the real world with Glitch.
Wait, were you watching this whole time? Unfortunately, yes.
And don't think you're not gonna pay for that
"Lucky Girl" comment. -Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Just fill us in on what's going on.
Glitch: Well, it seems that the low ratings for the show
has it heading for cancellation.
We already know that.
Gwen: But did you know it started to go down
at the start of a different show?
Together: A different show?
Gwen: Yeah, it's right here.
Spleen: Yas, pig.
Yas, pig.
Pig. Yas.
Ew. [ Gasps ] Spleen?
-Aww, the pig is cute. -Yas, pig.
-[ Growling ] -Xingo?
Whoa! -Aah!
-Here's your smoothie. -Oh, thank you.
[ Shouting ]
What am I even doing here?
Xingo: Ben, don't just stand there.
We got to get Spleen. -Be right there.
[ Grunting ] [ Feet pattering ]
Aw, nibblets.
[ Sing-song voice ] Oh, Spleen,
I have a gift for you!
[ Breathing heavily ]
What? -You got nowhere to run now.
[ Chuckles ] Hey, Xingo.
It's been a long time, huh?
Yeah, and where have you been all this time
while my show crumbles to a ruin?
Oh, that's right. You were off making your own show.
I-I-If you just listen to me --
But just look at what's happened to my show.
There's nothing to look at.
Exactly. And I'm gonna give you what you deserve.
Xingo, wait. [ Panting ]
Are you sure this is what we should be do--
It's all her fault. [ Boom! ]
Everything that's been happening to my show is because of her.
Because of me?! Ooh!
Aah!
Maybe it's because of you keeping me in the background.
Ow!
[ Inhales deeply, exhales ]
Why I ought to --
ow! -Face it, Xingo.
We all know which is the better show.
[ Growling ]
Aah!
Oh!
Hey! Ow!
[ Growls ]
[ Chuckles ]
[ Growls ]
[ Laughs ]
[ Both shouting ]
Guys -- what?
Spleen, stop fighting Xingo.
Me?!
Oh, so you're gonna blame me, too?
What's wrong with wanting my own show, huh?
Nope, you're right, you deserve your own place in the spotlight.
What? Oh, so you're on her side now?
I'm not turning on you, Xingo.
I'm just -- -He knows which show is better.
Oh, puh-lease. You want to be a big shot?
Well, I'll show you just what it takes to be a big shot.
Think you can handle it, Spleen?
If you ask me, you look like a fish out of water.
That jokes stinks, like me.
Bam, bam, b-bam, bam!
-Ow. -[ Grunts ]
I'm putting an end to this.
♪♪
Xingo, can't we just talk this out?
Get out of my way. -Whoa!
It's time to squash the problem --
permanently.
[ Gasps ]
-Huh? -Come on, Xingo.
This isn't you.
What'chu talkin' about? I'm always me.
Whoa!
Think about it -- all of this happened
when you stopped being yourself.
Don't try to be something you're not.
[ Noise maker blows ] Ah!
[ Chuckles ] Oof!
Not so funny now, huh?
I'm serious, Xingo. Look around.
You were so distracted getting back at Spleen
you didn't notice your world coming back.
What? But how?
Because you were being yourself.
I never should've suggested you to be something you're not.
You're my favorite cartoon character, Xingo.
Ow. -You're right.
I am great.
I was so focused on being the best,
yet I didn't think I was enough, when in reality,
I was the best thing there ever was.
Both: Uh, okay.
Gwen: Looks like you got your budget back, Xingo.
Your fight with Spleen tripled your ratings.
You're back on top. Well, now that everything's back to normal,
are you heading back, Spleen?
To be honest, the only way I got eyeballs
was being overly gimmicky.
I'd like to come back to your show
if you don't mind sharing the spotlight.
Of course, I don't mind.
You'll be my apprentice.
I'll teach ya everything I know. Aww, really?
So I'll no longer be the butt of your jokes?
Of course not.
This time the anvil will fall on me.
Oof! [ Laughs ]
And that's the end.
Wait, how do I get out?
