[opening theme music playing]
[chuckles]
-Whoa! -[both scream]
Ah! [screams]
[Norma laughing]
-Ah! No! -Huh?
Ah!
Ouch!
[Norma laughs]
[sighs]
-Hey! -[all screaming]
[alarm quacking]
[alarm stops]
[Pugsley snoring]
[grunting]
Phew!
[grunting]
-Good morning! -Hey, B-Rex!
Que pasa, monstruo?
Hey, nice to have you back! Lookin' good, Frank!
[Az] Well, well, if it ain't my favorite human.
Shh. Someone's gonna hear you.
[chuckling] Oh, well, okay. My favorite lizard man.
Hi, Az.
[chuckles] You ready for today's training sesh, bro-zone layer?
I was born ready, bro… Dude?
Bro, bro, bro, bro-mazing guy?
[chuckles] Let's strengthen your core first.
We can work on the bro-lexia later.
Let's go!
[roars]
[exclaims]
[groans]
Huh?
Oh.
Huh?
[screeches]
[screams]
[groans]
'Sup?
Oh, hey, Cuddles.
Ahh!
[groaning]
Good job, bro. You did better than last time.
You're still conscious.
[groans]
Ah, no, whoops. There we go.
[ominous music playing]
And this one I got signed by both of the Oni twins.
These are amazing!
Thanks.
I got my first DWF card when I was only 109.
A rare, first edition, holographic Grogan.
How can you remember that and not which plane you're from?
Norma, it's a shiny Grogan.
Look, shiny!
[both] Hmm.
Where have you been, young man?
Uh…
We haven't done my morning walk and I'm desperate for a poo poo.
I mean at this point, Pugsley, can't you take yourself out?
I can't go if you're not watching!
See, this is why I was looking up pet therapists.
Is there another dog?
Are they cuter than me? Do they have a better hat?
You're the only dog in my life, Pugsley.
I've just been doing some exercise. Stop worrying.
[sighs] But worrying is what I do best.
Ugh! Pugsley!
I told you not to take them out of the folder!
They weren't in the right order. What did you expect me to do?
Oh, I don't know, not touch stuff that doesn't belong to you!
You had them alphabetized, ignoring the official card order…
[alarm quacking]
[alarm stops]
[elevator dings]
[gasps] Barney! Your socks are something else.
I can't believe I used to eat these!
[whimpers] Pugsley, what are you doing here?
Protecting you.
From what? I'm just going to the gym.
-[demon growls] -[exclaims]
[demon burps]
Okay. A demon gym.
Why not just go to a regular, non-terrifying gym?
I mean, regular gyms are terrifying.
There's no rules down here about what people should look like.
Nobody cares that I'm trans. Nobody cares about my weight.
Nobody's asking me stupid questions about my binder.
[sighs] This gym makes me feel like the first time I came to Dead End.
Happy and free to be completely myself.
[exclaiming]
[whistling]
Completely yourself, huh?
-[thuds] -[cracking]
[hisses]
You ready, little boy? [echoes]
Who're you calling little boy? I'm B-Rex!
One, two, three, ding, ding, ding! There you have it, folks!
Our continued reigning champion.
Give it up for the one, the only B-Rex!
[imitates crowd shouting]
B-Rex! B-Rex! [roars]
B-Rex! B-Rex!
Aubrey High School wrestling tryouts. I'm ready.
Who're you callin' little boy? I am B-Rex!
-Nice name, bro! -Thanks.
You see, I've always loved dinosaurs, and I wanted to incorporate some--
[grunts]
[exclaiming]
[grunting]
[hissing]
[grunting]
-[screams] -Barney!
[exclaims]
Huh?
[hisses]
[grunts]
One, two, three!
[growls]
Pugsley! You shouldn't have helped me!
But you were getting hurt!
You could get me kicked out of the gym for cheating. The rules say--
Gnarly take-down, bro-tein shake.
Thank you, bro… Uh, man.
And this outfit. I mean, you can't even tell you're a human,
which is why I signed you up
for the official Demon Wrestling Federation tryouts!
I'm taking you to the big leagues, brah!
Really? You think I'm ready?
Totes. There's only one stipulation.
You have to earn your spot in a home plane match.
Er, you mean I have to fight on Earth?
Yeah, I mean, they don't allow humans in the league.
But with this costume we could just say you were banished there or something.
I'll whip up a classic crazy DWF backstory.
It'll all make sense, bro.
[squeals]
I'll save you the effort because there's no way
the others will agree to something so--
[both] Awesome!
The DWF? Here? I am freaking out!
Who are you fighting? The Samurai Sisters?
Bloodbath Bill? [gasps] The Undertaker?
I don't know yet. But--
No, no, no, it's not happening!
There's no way Barborah would let us host something like this.
She'd probably say--
I love it! I started out as a wrestler, kid,
just like you.
"Barbara the Unbreakable" they called me.
[growls]
Aside from the fact they got my name wrong, it was true.
Nobody could stop me.
You have my blessing.
We'll just close the park for the day
as long as that big ugly hand thing says it's okay.
Oh, no way. Fingers will see this as a--
Tremendous idea!
Oh, come on!
If we put on a little show for the demons,
some fisticuffs or what have you,
perhaps we can curb their desire for a violent uprising.
[chuckles] I say the show must go on!
Oh, my ghosts! So much to do!
[gasps] Welcome banner!
Merch table! [giggles]
Woof.
Buddy, wrestling is my dream.
Why do your dreams have to be so violent?
I've been training for this my whole life.
Well, not enough.
The last demon you fought kicked your butt.
[scoffs] That's because he fights like a human,
but I've got an idea.
[rock music playing]
If you want to fight demons--
Guys, I'm not sure this is necessary.
Then you gotta fight like a demon!

[Hox] Live from the 7th plane,
the Demon Wrestling Federation presents a qualifier match:
Challenger B-Rex, the thunder lizard, goes head to head
with one of the elite members of the Demon Wrestling League.
But which one?
We'll find out in just a moment as we are now live,
all over the multi-plane!
Demons and ghouls, theydies and gentlethems,
hold on to your tails and tuck the little ones in bed
because this is the Demon Wrestling Federation!
[crowd cheers]
[cheers] Yes!
Buy your DWF posters!
Don't worry, Barney. You'll be fine.
Thanks.
I told Logs to bring the supersized first aid kit.
So, we should be able to patch up any broken bones or scorched faces.
Uh, where's Az? He should be here.
Az?
Asmodeus. My coach. This whole fight was his idea.
I thought he might at least give me some last-minute advice.
Here's some advice. Don't do it.
No, I need to do this.
Out in the ring, I can be completely myself.
And that's a dinosaur?
No, a super star wrestler, a legend in the ring,
the unstoppable thunder lizard, B-Rex!
Meh. I don't know about B-Rex, but Barney is already a superstar.
Just don't die again.
[Hox] My special guests tonight
include an expert in the culture of this strange neutral plane.
-Please give a fiery welcome to Courtney! -[crowd cheering]
The humans consider me their ruler, Hox.
That's hot stuff!
And the gorgeous termite-filled pile of matter to my right…
Why, thank you.
…is the winner of Hate Island Season 95.
Please welcome JoJo!
It's pronounced JeuxJeux.
[hisses]
Asmodeus. Where have I heard that name before?
And now tonight's challenger may have been born on the neutral plane,
but he's all demon.
Where are you, Az? I could've used your support right now.
Give it up for B-Rex, the thunder lizard!
[crowd cheering]
Okay, you can do this, B-Rex.
Here he comes, looking electrified!
And the crowd loves him!
Oh! Well, maybe not everyone's a fan.
Here to answer the challenge,
representing the mighty Demon Wrestling League,
who better to wipe the floor with this sack of lizard scales
than the son of Baal, the Prince of Darkness,
the undefeated Master of Disaster…
-Asmo… -…deus!
[crowd cheering]
[roars]
Hey, bro.
Az?
His coach?
[Hox] You know, guys, it's been 300 years
since the last wrestler has qualified for the league.
-[gulps] -[JoJo] Only 300 years?
-[Hox] That's right, JoJo! -[JoJo] Ugh! It's JeuxJeux!
A little birdie told me that the two of you have some history.
Yeah, he's my coach, or at least I thought he was.
Oh, your teacher becoming the enemy.
Talk about a classic wrestling twist!
[laughs] Mwah!
There's a lot you don't know about me, little B.
Ooh!
[Norma] Asmodeus, 325 pounds.
Strengths and immunities: fire.
Demon League member for 873 years.
Second cousin twice removed from Simus, son of Bran the Beholder.
[gasps] Oh, my ghosts! Asmodeus is Temeluchus' 12th cousin,
and Zagan's long-lost twin? No wait, that can't be right.
The Demonic Royal Family is pretty complicated.
So he's a demon king with secret powers
and an intimate knowledge of Barney's every move? Norma!
Barney doesn't stand a chance! We need to help him!
Excuse me. Excuse me, excuse me. Uh, excuse me. Excuse me.
Last chance to quit, B-Rex. Sure you wanna go through with this?
Bring it on!
[grunts]
[both straining]
-[crowd cheering] -Excuse me, excuse me.
[Hox] Asmodeus putting the challenger in his place.
And here we go for another round!
A Hades harpoon from B-Rex,
countered by a flawless execution of the Cerberus Slingshot by the champ.
[yells]
[Hox] Unleashing every fantastical fist of infernal fury,
but Asmodeus is dodging faster than the average neutral planer can see!
And, as demons, we can see at a higher framerate.
That's true!
You should see what this looks like in 666K.
None of the challenger's punches are landing.
Being his coach, he's anticipating all his moves.
No demon can beat Asmodeus.
-[whimpers] -[chuckles sinisterly]
A death grip! Is he going for a chokeslam?
-[whimpers] -[grunts]
He's down! He's pinned!
Is this the end for B-Rex, the thunder lizard? One…
Two!
The challenger shakes it out!
Neutral plane, represent!
-[crowd cheers] -Kick him in the face!
Crush his skull!
No! Stop that!
You're right.
I have serious jealousy issues I'm trying to work through.
Barney! Listen!
Your demonic B-Rex moves aren't going to cut it!
Asmodeus is a demon king!
What?
-[Asmodeus grunts] -Huh?
Yeah, maybe out there, Asmodeus is a demon king,
but here in the ring, I can just be myself! [echoes]
And the crowd goes wild for B-Rex, the thunder lizard!
You in the right place, son?
-[chuckles] -What is he wearing?
[boy] Ridiculous! I've never seen someone look so dumb!
-[girl] So ridiculous. -[boy] Wow, this is a new low!
[Pugsley] I don't know about B-Rex, but Barney is already a superstar.
[both grunting]
[all exclaim]
[Hox] A surprise throwdown against Asmodeus!
The challenger-- Wait a minute, what's this?
[Courtney] Huh, that looks like
the 7th plane's hand signal for a time-out.
[Hox] Looks like the thunder lizard is shedding his skin!
[all gasping]
He's a human!
That's right! I'm the, uh, Living Human!
I come from Earth, home of witch-finders,
exorcists and vampire hunters!
Cower before me and my fleshy, blood-filled body. [cackles]
[crowd booing]
Oh my, he's hideous.
You get used to it.
This is unheard of!
A human fighting against the Demon Wrestling Federation!
Are you in the right place, son?
I'm exactly where I deserve to be!
You know why you don't have humans in your wrestling league?
A human wouldn't survive. Imagine the lawsuits!
No! You don't have humans in your league
because you're scared we're gonna whoop your tails!
[crowd booing]
-Boo! -[hissing]
Hey, listen!
If Barney the Living Human wants a fight,
then I say let's give him what he wants!
-[crowd cheering] -Yeah!
And this time, bro, I ain't holding back.
[roars]
Ah-ha!
[Hox] Now this is demon wrestling!
Asmodeus not landing any fireballs!
The Living Human displaying impressive feats of agility!
Whoa! What an impact!
The Living Human in the air!
-[roars] -Asmodeus unleashing his minotaury breath!
Oof! That's gotta be hot!
Barney! It says he's vulnerable to swords made of polished silver!
Have you got any of those?
Oh, yeah! If you check in my gym bag, I've got… Of course I don't!
-Leave it, Norma. -What? We have to help him.
No, we don't. Trust me, and trust Barney.
[Hox] The human's using the ropes,
-and Asmodeus is out of breath! -[roars]
-[Hox] A power slide! -[laughs] Human wedgie!
[Hox] Oh, but what in the multi-plane is this move?
[Courtney] It's an attack humans learn
in grade school on the playground.
[JoJo] Hideously primitive.
[Hox] I don't think any demon could see that move coming!
The challenger is going for a finish! Is this it?
Is he going to be the newest member of the Demon Wrestling League?
[crowd booing]
[laughs maliciously]
[Hox] The champ has one more trick up his sleeve!
[grunting]
[Hox] Making his entire body nuclear hot!
Is it too hot for the challenger?
And does he have the stamina, the strength,
the astonishing heat tolerance to beat the reigning champ?
Asmodeus turning it around in the final moment!
One, two, three! And we have a winner!
The reigning champ of the Demon Wrestling Federation,
Asmodeus, the undefeated, holds his title!
[chuckling] And it's all over for the Living Human.
Better luck next time, kid!
Barney!
Are you okay?
Please wake up!
[Pugsley whimpers]
[Barney] That… was…
the most fun I've had in my life.
Thanks for having my back by not having it.
Anytime.
Sorry you lost.
I didn't lose. Look!
Buy your Living Human posters! Buy your Living Human posters!
Wow, kid! You put on a great show!
Love the last minute reveal. It's honestly a pleasure to meet you.
We've met.
You're gonna be the heel they love to hate, boy!
And if you want to be part of the next season's rogues gallery,
you better give me a call.
And the human outfit, ugh, so revolting!
That was incredible, babe. Are you hurt?
[in deep voice] Nothing can hurt the Living Human!
[in normal voice] Wanna be on our podcast?
Nice going, B. Sorry you didn't qualify,
but I think your time will come.
See ya at practice?
It's a date! I'll bring the bro-tato chips!
What?
Maybe we can listen to Bro-hemian Rhapsody in the bro-tanical gardens.
-[chuckles] -Here, let me hand you their bro-chure!
[chuckles] Whoa! You've conquered the bro-cabulary!
The pupil has become the master. My work here is done.
Wait! I need you to sign my trading card!
Sorry, Courtney. You just missed him.
No, not him. You.
