- This is it. Appreciation Day.
It's gonna be my best one ever!
(Chuckles)
We all know kids are ungrateful monsters.
But today is appreciation day
and they're gonna say they appreciate me.
I don't care what it takes!
Decorations!

They'll be plenty of thanks given in appreciation
for these decorations.
Oh, the kids are gonna love it!
Hey, kids. Notice anything different today?
- Did you shower? - Trim your nose hair?
- Get a haircut? - What? A haircut? No.
- Beats us! All: Bye Chef!
(Air whooshes)
(Disappointed groan)
- Alright, kids. As you know, today is Appreciation Day.
So...
- Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
- Yes, Owen?
- What's Appreciation Day?
- What's Appre-- Are you kidding me?
Who here can tell Owen what Appreciation Day is?
(Confused) - Uh, don't know.
- (Sighs) Appreciate Day is when we celebrate
all the things we're thankful for.
- Oooh okay. - That makes sense.
- Yeah, I knew that! (Both) Hmmm?
- To tell someone you appreciate them,
all you've gotta do is put a card
in their appreciation bucket.
Like this.
- Ohhhh... (mind blown explosion sound)
- But no one does anything for us.
- Yeah, I just had to go and get a cupcake
from that decorated snack table
and put it in my own mouth.
- (Groans)
- Can you give us examples of things we should appreciate?
- I sure can!
You should appreciate a person who...
keeps you safe at the petting zoo.
(Chef screams, punching thuds)
Or someone who reads you a pop-up book about wood working.
Ahhh! (Saws whir)
- Hurray!
Chef: Or a person who opens jars for you.
(Bees buzz) - Ahhhh!
And of course, someone throwing you a party
is something you should appreciate.
- Oh, I get it now!
I appreciate...
(Hopeful music)
Cody! Just for being you.
- Are we married now?
- (Sighs) Sure, fine.
Now get appreciatin'!
I'll just leave my bucket right here.

(Wings flutter)
- WHAT?! MY BUCKET'S EMPTY!
Didn't any of you hand out cards?
- Yeah, we all got so many!
- I had no idea how appreciated we all are.
- Look!
Even they got cards!
- WHAT?! Those guys were only in a couple of episodes!
How are they even in here?! - (Rooster crow)
- And how does the rooster have one?!
- (Rooster clucks)
- I even got a card from Gwen.
- I appreciate you all.
The more friends you have,
the more funerals you get to go to.
All: YAAAAYYYY... HUUUH?!
- (Claps) Oh, goody!
- Wait, I think I got one!
(reads) "I really appreciate the way you...
hide our toys in your tree?"
- That was for Angry Squirrel.
- (Chitters, slapping sounds) - Ahhh!
You even got that thing a card?!
(Both gasp)
- Chef, I don't think that was
a very appreciative thing to say.
- Looks like someone forgot the meaning of Appreciation Day.
- GRRRRRR!
It's okay, Chef.
The kids won that round, but the day isn't over yet.
(Mug shatters)
A turkey dinner will make sure
these kids appreciate their teacher.
I gotta find a great recipe in one of these cookbooks!
No, nah... too bland.
(Book thuds) Oooh. What's this?
- (Evil whispering) The Cookronom-nom-icon.
- The Cookronom-nom-icon? Huh.
Guess it's one of those audio books.
Wonder if it has a turkey recipe?
(reads) Hm. "An Appreciation Turkey
for non-appreciative Children."
Wow, that's perfect!
Let's see, one dash of-dried frog lips?
Do we even have that?
Hey, we do! How 'bout that!
(Ominous music sting)
Next up, 4 packets of gravy thickener,
2 ounces of hamster tears,
1 DVD of "Space Robo-Hunter",
a cup of plutonium and 3 cloves of garlic?!
Whoa, bad breath alert.
Okay, maybe a little.
(Pot clanks, knob cranks)
That is gonna be one fine turkey.
(Energy vibrates)
Kids, you sure are gonna be thankful
for the Appreciation Day turkey I'm making.
(Loud explosion) - WHAT WAS THAT?!
- Uh... I'm sure that was nothing.
- (Sizzling) - Is the turkey okay?!
- What turkey?
- Wow, Chef. You know what would have been great?
If you'd actually made a turkey.
- But I did! I did make a turkey!
- Turkey faker! (Agreement muttering)
- I don't understand. It was right here.
(Energy vibrates)
(Sinister gobble)
Okay, this should do the trick.
Nothing says Appreciation Day like a good ol' tuba song!
Just shout out the names of the people
you're thankful for.
(Plays a tuba tune)
- I sure don't appreciate that tuba!
- Me neither!
(Energy vibrates)
(Sinister music)
(Reel cranks) - Ahhhhh!
- Courtney! - Cody! - Harold!
(Tummy rumbles) - When's snack time?
My tummy doesn't appreciate being hungry.
(Whoosh)
- What is that?!
- Chef, would you stop it?!
I don't appreciate how you're acting today!
- Oh yeah? Well, I don't appreciate--
(Reel cranks) - AHHHH!
(Energy vibrates) (All scream)
♪ Ta ta ♪
- What was that thing?!
- Yeah, it was so scary
I gravy-ed my pants.
- I found a talking book with a face on it!
- The Cookro-nom-nom-icon?!
Chef, tell me this isn't the recipe
you used for the turkey.
(Evil whispers) - You wear it out!
- Yeah... It says, it serves unlimited,
unappreciative children.
- Keep reading.
- (reads) "Serves unlimited unappreciative children
by summoning Gobblehead the cybo-turkey
to hunt them for sport?!"
Pfft. That could mean anything.
- Fine, let's test it.
Cody, say you don't appreciate Chef.
- Okay! I don't appreciate Chef.
Heheh, I like this game!
(Reel cranks) - Wheee!
- See? Told ya.
- Okay-okay, you were right.
Now do exactly as I say.
RUN!
Quick, everyone hide in the basement!
We'll be safer trapped down there!
Yep, this is definitely safer.
Izzy: Everyone knows turkeys can't go down stairs.
(Evil whispering)
Harold: Ah, who invited the book?
Izzy: And why does it smell like cranberries down here?
(Light clicks on) (All gasp)
- That mean ol' turkey trapped them all in cranberry sauce!
(Puckering sounds) - Agh. So sour!
- Let's get out of here!
All: Ahhhhhhhh!
- Ahhhhhh! I really don't appreciate this!
(Whooshing) - (Gobble)
- Oh no, you don't!
If anyone doesn't appreciate this mess it's ME!
(Whirs)
- A gravy cannon?
Oh! Bring it!
- (Squirts) - (Slurps)
- Yeah!

(Whir) (Gobble war cry)
- Agh! (Groans)
Yeah? Two can play at that game!
(Cackles)
(Punching thuds, pained cries)
(Gobble war cry)
(Electric egg beaters whirs) (Fighting sounds)
- How do we stop this?!
- I've got it!
The recipe says we can banish the turkey
by appreciating someone we forgot to appreciate!
- But, who?! All: Hmm?
- Who?! Are you kidding me?!
- Crossing guards?
The bus driver?
- (Pained grunts) - Bees?
- OH, COME ON!
- Whoever it is,
they could be doing something for us right now.
Right in front of us.
- GRR. FINE!
I'll handle this myself.
(Effort grunts)
(Whooshes)
- Your goose is cooked.
(Panicked gobbles)
(Whirring)
(Freaked out gobbles)
- There. Chef has saved the day all by himself.
- (Sniffs) Ooh.
And that turkey smells pretty good.
- Chef, not now.
- We're still trying to think
of who we haven't appreciated yet.
- We know it doesn't matter anymore,
but it's driving us nuts.
- Ugh, it's on the tip of my tongue.
- (Gasps) I know who!
- (Hopeful) Yes, Owen?
- Gobblehead!
For teaching us how much appreciation matters.
(Banging, groans)
- Don't beat yourself up over it, Chef.
We all missed it.
