[tires screeching]
This could be the most important speech
of my entire career.
It's true.
I'll either make a legend of you
or crush your reputation to oblivion.
One wrong move,
and it could destroy everything you've ever worked for.
A fruitless strut upon the stage of life.
Until you succumb to death.
And then, only a faceless man with a nameless grave.
Well, thanks, Mr. Jinks. You always know what to say.
[drumroll]
Hello, Jellystone.
[cheering]
It's time for the best day of the year.
- New Years? - Black Friday?
My birthday? It's my birthday.
[shushes]
No, election day.
[crowd] Oh.
Wait, you're not excited?
No offense, Huck,
but election day is kind of a waste of our time.
You always run unopposed.
So why don't we just skip the whole thing
and agree that you're still mayor?
Now, now. The people of Jellystone are entitled
to vote for who they think is best for the job.
And look,
there are other candidates this year.
Huh? No, no, no, no.
We thought this was something else.
Daddy, where's the medieval feast?
Augie, there is no feast.
[sighs] So it's famine.
[grunts nervously]
[Yogi] Come on, Huck.
We have important things to get back to.
Like my birthday.
[shushes]
But what about the fun of the process?
The clash of ideas, the spirited debate,
the fun little buttons I always make.
I am a fan of those buttons.
Huck, as far as we're all concerned,
you're mayor.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a picnic basket to annihilate.
And I--
Oh, I'll shush myself.
[sighs]
Don't get me wrong. I-- I love being mayor.
But it just doesn't mean anything
without an actual race.
But, Huck, they like you as mayor.
No one wants to run against you.
No one in town? No one at all?
Not a single soul.
- Hmm. - [dings]
Unless... I might know someone.
Where are they? I'll end them!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy there, killer.
All we need is a can of paint.
[Mr. Jinks] Wait, so why are we painting you red?
Well, if no one's going to run against me,
I'll just run against myself as my alternate persona.
Raspberry Rover,
the opposite of Huckleberry Hound.
All schools should be ice cream.
All right. Showtime. Now what would Huck not do?
Raspberry Rover, candidate for mayor.
Uh, did you know that sugar is actually good for you?
Yeah, have some. It's good for your teeth.
It is?
But that's the opposite of what Huck always told us.
And science.
Ah, yes.
But I am the opposite of Huck and science.
For instance, gravity is a lie.
Anyway. Whee!
Hey, Raspberry Rover. Mind if I use your yard?
Gee, thanks. Hey, have a lump of sugar.
It's good for your teeth. And how about a high-five?
I'm pretty cool, you see.
Cool, right?
I guess.
Raspberry rover.
Lump of sugar? It's good for your teeth.
It's my birth--
Hopefully this first shot that not go in me eye.
- Raspberry Rover! - [screams]
Good morning, Jellystone.
Has everyone had a lump of sugar?
[all] It's good for our teeth!
Fantastic!
Now, who's ready for an election?
An election?
I thought he was going to say something cool.
What? I mean,
all banks should be bouncy houses.
Okay, we're listening.
Yeah. And school is banned
and doughnuts are vegetables.
I like Raspberry Rover.
Tell us more.
I believe people should be able to operate on each other
without a license because it seems fun.
[cheering]
You should be able to throw your trash anywhere.
[cheering]
And kids should be able to play with
as many poisonous snakes as they want.
[cheering]
[Brenda] Kiss my baby.
[Captain Caveman] And mine.
[Peter Potamus] And me.
[crowd chanting] Raspberry! Raspberry! Raspberry!
Oh, this is going great. Everyone's excited.
Looks like the town gets a real election after all.
Uh, about that.
Uh, Raspberry Rover's doing, like, a little too well.
You're way down in the polls.
See?
Oh, that's not too bad. We can bounce back.
No, there's more.
Oh. Well, with a little elbow grease, we can maybe--
Ah, the first day in 1,000 years
paper didn't hit my eye.
[Red Guy screaming]
Huh. I guess I got so carried away
with Raspberry Rover,
I forgot to campaign for Huckleberry Hound.
But that's all right.
When the town hears my sensible plan
during the big debate,
I trust they'll make the right decision.
You're going to debate yourself?
But that's impossible.
Come on, now. Have a little faith in me, Mr. Jinks.
[fanfare]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the annual mayoral debate,
hosted by the most handsome announcer of all time.
It's me. It's Snagglepuss.
Let's meet the candidates.
Up first is Huckleberry Hound.
[scattered applause]
Hello, hello.
So excited to talk about infrastructure
for the next three hours.
And now we have Raspberry Rover.
- [cheering] - [loud applause]
Huh. Where'd Huck go?
Probably the bathroom.
All right. Let's begin
with our first audience-curated question.
Huck, your opponent has promised
bouncy houses instead of banks.
What do you promise?
Great question, Peter Potamus.
I promise to double all the annoying stop signs,
plug the giant sinkhole the children keep falling into
- and... - [crowd snoring]
- [buzzes] - Time's up.
On to the next question.
Dear Raspberry Rover, may I please have a pony?
Why, of course. In fact, he's already arrived.
Huh? I'm sorry, what's happening?
[cheering]
Now, let's remember, everyone,
that ponies do nothing to stop the annual blood bee plague.
Can you guarantee me that a pencil will never hit my eye?
Why, yes, I can.
- No one can guarantee that. - [Jabberjaw] Ow, my eye!
Can we have dancers instead of mailmen?
We have dancers instead of firemen.
There's none left.
All mailmen will learn to dance.
Can you come to my birthday party?
Uh, I'm busy later.
I'm free.
Can we have real fish?
Uh, no. Wait, what?
All fish will be real.
Wait a minute. You have no real plan
to keep this town on track.
Well, I may not have a plan,
but what I do have is
- monster trucks! - [engines revving]
[Augie laughing] Whee!
- [cheering] - Wow, this is gonna go so well.
[crowd] Let's just make him our mayor now!
- [alarm blaring] - [honking]
[grunting, groaning]
Augie, I never thought I'd say this, but please,
please stop eating your vegetables.
But the mayor says it's good for me.
Well, that's my lunch break.
Yakky, you good doing the surgery?
Thanks.
You're gonna give me anesthesia, right?
I don't know how to do that.
Would the little poison snaky men enjoy some bubbles?
[snakes hissing]
[screams] But the mayor said you're friendly!
Oh, Mr. Jinks.
I can't stand to see the town like this.
I thought folks would make the right choice,
but now it's falling apart.
[rumbling, crashing]
I guess people don't always make
the best decisions for themselves.
I mean, sometimes they need someone to guide them.
Yeah, someone with strong morals.
And a solid sense of right and left.
And I happen to know the guy.
And he'd protect this town no matter what.
I gotta save Jellystone!
Huck, meet Space Ghost.
Huck? Oh, Huck?
Thank you all for gathering
on this giant scoop of ice cream,
which has replaced our school thanks to Raspberry Rover.
Speaking of which, I have very pressing news.
As it turns out,
Raspberry Rover has suffered a tremendous injury.
[crowd gasping]
- Is he okay? - What happened?
Let's go visit him in the hospital.
[Huckleberry] Oh, wait. Did I say injury?
Oh, I meant vacation.
Raspberry Rover has suffered, uh, a tremendous vacation.
But have no fear.
Until he returns,
he has appointed me the temporary permanent mayor.
And first things first,
we're gonna get things back to normal around here.
[cheering]
All right, Mr. Jinks. What's first?
[Mr. Jinks] Get rid of all that sugar.
Dump your lump of sugar in the pot.
We'll simply turn it into caramel,
and then everyone can take some home.
Isn't caramel just sugar, but burnt?
No. What would make you think that?
Done! Onto making surgery more safe.
Yakky, don't forget to wash your hands
when operating inside a patient.
Thanks, Huck.
Done!
Eat the jelly ones to get a small serving of fruit.
You hear that, kid? Eat up.
Done! Onto the snakes.
[hisses]
There you go, Tubb.
Now they can't see you. Have fun.
But will they still bite me?
Done! Free the horse.
[helicopter hovering]
There you go, boy. Be free now.
This isn't even my house.
Done! Deflate the banks.
Me life savings!
Done! Fix the hose!
Oh, thank goodness.
Now I can keep my topiary garden alive.
Done! Release your innermost passions!
[yelling]
Done! Add the cherry on top.
[knuckles cracking]
Done. Done. Done.
Man, I never realized
how weird normal is around here.
But I wouldn't have it any other way.
Neither would we.
And that's why we decided to make a statue
of the man who got our town back on its feet.
Aw shucks, y'all didn't need to do that.
[Jabberjaw] Raspberry Rover!
Who went on vacation and appointed Huck.
Ah, the best mayor we ever had.
Oh, whatever.
At least, Jellystone's back to normal.
- [snakes hissing] - They can still bite, they can still bite!
[crowd clapping]
Sorry I'm late. I just got out of surgery.
What did we miss?
