Have you accidentally killed a plant and want to revive it?

Gaty stands next to a funny plant as it catches on fire.

Then why don't you set it on fire?

Ice Cube sitting in the Snowy Tundra with a funny plant inside her.

And then freeze it?

Fries tries to plant the funny plant on the sun as it burns slowly.

Let it grow on the sun?

Lighting zaps the funny plant.

Or zap it?

Coiny walks towards the funny plant holding a plate of dirt cake.

Make it a fancy dinner?

Grassy tries feeding a funny plant to the Fish Monster, and promptly gets eaten instead.

Or feed it to a fish monster?

Bottle pushes a funny plant off of Evil Canyon.

Or push it off a cliff?

Marker dances next to a funny plant.

Dance on it?

Pillow lights Bomby next to a funny plant and he explodes.

Explode-

(explosion sfx)

-Vomit on it? Play with it underwater?

Ad stops.

Stop it! You're only hurting it more!

I like the pool. Where'd it come from?

It was... uh... one of my funny plant revival ideas.

Flashback begins.

So... just dunk it underwater?

Yep! Hopefully it'll work!

The funny plant goes into the water, catches on fire, and explodes.

Did it work?

It did not. After how badly we made a suitable environment for the plants, I didn't want to take any chances with how livable your environment was. I got this pool, and I even got six new shiny plates for us all to use at the benches!

Wow, these plates are worth-

*cash noises*

Ooh! Ten thousand shiny ones.

Ice Cube licks one of the plates.

Yum!

Consider this pool useless. I just wanna look at these plates all day! These are all great.

*Pillow grabs the plate and smashes it on the ground.*

One down, five to go!

No! No more smashing, Pillow! Protect these for me, Rocky.

Bulleh! (Vomits on Two)

It's time for Break at Plate!

Cake at Stake theme.

First up is Just Not, for pouring cursed water onto their plant. Today's cake is ramen noodles! They're long, secure, unrippable, and perfect for bungee jumping! Wow, it sure is crowded here with two teams. Whatever! Pillow, you are safe with 3,211 votes.

(eats ramen) Yum! I deserve it!

Price Tag is the next safe, with 3,172 votes.

I'll help with clearing out space up here, Two!

Pillow throws Price Tag off the hotel roof, while Two saves them with the ramen.

Phew!

Bomby, Nickel and Cake are safe with 2,989, 2,970, and 2,854 votes respectively.

Pillow throws the three of them off the roof, with Two using the ramen to save them again.

And the last contestant safe on Just Not is... Book, with 2,822 votes!

Pillow throws Book off the roof as she holds onto the ramen.

Phew!

Naily is out, with 2,286 votes. Onto Death P.A.C.T. Again! Marker is safe with 10,484 votes!

(throws Marker off roof) Your team can join in, too!

Nice death prevention, Two!

Also safe are Black Hole and Tree, with 8,037 and 5,102 votes respectively.

I'll just jump off, Pillow. I get the deal.

Lightning, Fanny, and Remote. The three of you are only separated by a 16-vote difference, but only two of you can be safe today!

Is it me? Am I safe?

You're lucky you are, or else this would be awkward. You're safe with 5,043 votes!

Haha! Can't toss us!

Remote, Fanny. One of you got 5,038 votes. The other got 5,027 votes. But which is it, huh? Which of- which one- oh, who's it gonna be? Wow!

I hate this! Just tell us who is SAFE! HURRY UP!

Well, I hate to reward bad behavior, but Fanny is safe with 5,038 votes.

Pillow throws Fanny off the roof.

Sorry Naily and Remote, but you've been eliminated.

Well Remote, I think you nailed it either way!

And I think you- remoted it.

Um-

Yeah that pun doesn't really work for my name.

Well I think you both twoed it! ...Doesn't work as well for my name, either.

Two makes Naily and Remote disappear, eliminating them.

Don't worry Two, I'll clear all these noodles up!

Pillow cuts the ramen noodles and the contestants attached fall into the pool. This causes the plates to be washed away from the tables.

The beautiful plates! Where are they going?!

The plates roll towards a hill with a ramp.

No! Not the steepest hill in the grasslands! NO! Not the Zoomy Ramp of Yoyle Legend!

The plates land on clouds after being launched from the ramp.

No! Not the clouds accelerating at a faster pace to keep up with the Earth's faster rotation due to a sort of daylight savings change!

My bad!

The plates fall into the Goiky Canal.

NO! Not the Goiky Canal! My plates! My beautiful plates! My plaaaaaAAAAAAAAATES!

Intro.

Aaah! With these plates missing, our living quarters are approximately 40% less livable! We'll be just like those Funny Plants in no time! Today's challenge is to retrieve the five beautiful plates from the bottom of the Goiky Canal! The two teams that do not retrieve a plate will be up for elimination! Go!

I HATE WATER! What is our strategy?!

Nothing fancy, folks. We just dive in, hold our breaths, and look for the plates.

Bit of a problem with that plan.

Yeah, how will you guys communicate?

That's easy. I took a Yoyle Dance class that taught me to speak through dance! Here, read this book, and study up!

I HATE READING, but okay. (skims through book) Done. Here!

(skims through book) Uh, okay... done. [Let's go, team!]

[I hate dancing!]

[Nice study, folks! Now into the water, team!]

No. The problem with the plan is that you can't hold your breath forever.

What are you talking about? If we didn't breathe, we'd die! So, we'll prevent death by holding our breath. Team Breath P.A.C.T.!

[Worth a shot, I guess!]

Marker, Tree, and Fanny enter the water.

Wow. It's genius.

Are you kidding me?

Hey, Strongest Team! Robot Flower and I have been tinkering with an invention that should come in handy for this!

They're breathable bubbles, which will allow us to run and bounce about underwater! Perfect for electrical ol' me!

*laughs* That is nothing compared to our invention! The robotic fish monster! Are You Okay, we'll simply use this machine to drive into the water and find the- WHAT?!

Ha! Shouldn't have gotten cocky out there, Golf Ball! It's our team's now! Good luck, though!

Hey! That is unfair- uh, wait. Where's TV?

(screams)

Guys, we kidnapped someone by accident.

Let me go, pretty please.

Sorry TV, you're officially in the hostage zone.

Hello TV!

Hello!

The canal! You all know what this means?

Swimming?

The Internet! Folks, welcome to the Stuff for Yourself online store!

Let's order a fishing rod!

Donut orders the fishing rod, which materializes out of nowhere.

Nice. Now let's grab that plate! Uh, doesn't work, guys.

Of course it doesn't, you nincompoop! That plate is miles underwater!

Thank you, Pin. What we actually need is-

A vacuum, of course.

Pin orders the vacuum cleaner.

Now we can suck up the water.

The vacuum cleaner explodes.

Uh, Coiny, why did you make us order that?

Grr! Okay! What we actually need is the world's strongest magnet to suck up the plate to the surf-

Nope! We need to order a second moon! Moon 2!

We need floaties to help us swim!

Everyone, keep your pesky hands away from the phone! Done!

So, you ordered the Moon 2?

No, I did not order the moon. I ordered the magnet, and uh- GAH! Curse your fiddly hands! We ordered it to Yellow Face's factory, which is 2,762 miles away!

2,76..2?

Yeah? Not everything is always the same distance.

We're gonna need to catch the nearest train! We don't have much time, people!

(grabs everyone) Let's go, everyone!

Pillow! Today, you might've saved the day!

I always go out of my way to help others. (ignites Bomby)

What? (explodes)

Book recovers Bomby.

Uh, what were you saying, Cake?

Well, remember when all of us falling from the top of the hotel caused a big splash in the pool, and everything flew everywhere?

Oh! Are you saying we should drop from a dramatic height and burst into the canal?

Exactly!

Just wanting to kill people.

You silly gooses! How can we get that astronomically shastatomically high? We don't have a scientist on our team. How could we possibly build a contraption like that? All we have is this debris from the canal!

Hm. Book! Define 'gravity'.

Book shows the definition.

That definition sucks!

Pillow changes the definition by adding "+ something we can mess with".

There! Let's start tossing these, and fly into the sky!

Okay. Pillow, enough messing around!

Pillow walks into the sky using the debris.

Wha- Everyone! Follow that pillow!

The rest of Just Not follows Pillow into the sky using that method.

What is this? The slowest train ever?

Coiny points to the sign on the train, which indeed says "The Slowest Train Ever".

Well, I wish this was the fastest train ever.

Barf Bag crosses out 'slowest' on the sign and replaces it with 'fastest'. The train rapidly accelerates.

Aah! Barf Bag! Undo this!

Hey! It's bad luck to undo your wishes.

Our fishy is gone!

No time to dwell! Everyone, we must use Basketball's pitiful breathable bubbles. There's only six bubbles for their team, so Puffball, you can sit this one out again.

Yo! Now that's the third time you've treated Puffball badly! Back off, Golf Ball!

Oh Fries, you must understand that she is not to be trusted! She'll sabotage our team!

Then how about Puffball and I go sabotage the other teams? Let's go, Puffball!

Okie dokie!

Eraser, you comin', bro?

Hmm... I'd rather mess with Teardrop. What's your plan, TD? Last time you hung on a windowsill. What's next, playing with a hose?

Teardrop jumps into and becomes the water.

Wha?! No fair! If this was like, a giant eraser or whatever, I'd become part of that, too- if I could.

Hurry, Eraser! Just get in the water already!

After Teardrop!

After the robot fish!

Focus on the plates!

Anyone have any ideas? Winner?

Uh...

Let's fill Bottle with the lake!

Good idea, Icy!

Winner dunks Bottle in the water.

(muffled because the water is inside her) Now the canal is dried up and dead!

YAY!

Uh, that's barely done anything. Let's just get into the canal.

Here's a shovel! Why don't you just dig under the canal?

*laughs* I doubt they'd fall for that- wait, they're doing it?

This idea's grand! That was SO nice of Fries to give us this shovel!

All of The S! (except for Yellow Face) dig into lava and die.

Ogh! I guess they DIED!!

Yellow Face recovers everyone.

TRY AGAIN, TEAM!

Finally... Now our strategy seems to be paying o-

The team is buried alive in dirt. Yellow Face recovers them all again.

ATTEMPT THREE!

Finally! The canal! Now we-

The team drowns when water rushes into their tunnel. Yellow Face recovers them yet again.

Maybe we should try something else.

Agh! I thought that'd work!

Winner throws the shovel at Ice Cube, knocking her into the water.

Help me...!

Ice Cube dissolves in the water.

Icy! I'm so sorry! I- woah! The water here is freezing!

*gasp* Let's freeze the canal! Then we could trap the other teams underneath the surface!

The S! keeps throwing Ice Cube into the water to get it to freeze.

Curse that stealing Basketball, thinking she can steal my inventions while we're left in these useless breathing bubbles!

Uh, try to embrace what we already have, Golf Ball! I think it's pretty cool!

No! I will not embrace it! It's terrible!

Woah! Be careful where you bounce!

That's it! Pen, you've crossed the line!

Don't hit Golf Ball like that!

After Tennis Ball bounces into Pen, the three of them keep bouncing against each other and the trench walls.

Eraser! Put a stop to this madness!

Bro, give me a sec.

Eraser runs off.

[How are you guys holding up?]

[I hate dance!]

[I'm doing okay! At first the oxygen stuff was scaring me but now I think I'm doing okay- well, that is, except for the swimming. Call me autumn but I just want to fall apart. If you don't catch what I'm saying, I'm talking about my leaves. I've always been somewhat paranoid but this is a whole new level- luckily this dancing stuff is cool, huh? I mean, who would've thought the power of dance is something we would take advantage of today. Also could Power of Dance be a TPOT parody? TPOD: the power of dance? Would be a lame prize I suppose. I wonder if I win Two's power, if my dance abilities underwater would improve. I think my mind is shifting. Yeah, I actually like the prize. Maybe we should consult Two about changing the prize to "The Power of Dance." Thoughts? Let's be real. I doubt they'd ever go for that. Renaming this early into the season? No, no, no! Also, my biggest secret i-]

[I didn't get a WORD of that!]

[Try to say a bit less through dance!]

Fanny stops holding her breath.

[Fanny! What is wrong?]

Fanny drowns.

(Happily) [NO! So much death!]

[Let's head closer to the surface! And hold your breath, or you'll die like Fanny!]

This place is huge! Where could it be?

Oh! Here's a package for you, Coiny!

Here we go! ...A world-ending bomb?!

Oh! G'uh- wrong package, hahahaha!

But why did you order-

Found it! The world's strongest magnet!

Coiny activates the magnet, causing shelves to fall on Team8s.

Ouch!

Status report, Snowball! How's the team been doing?

Well, when I drove the fish, I smashed us headfirst into a wall, and then straight into the floor. Then I don't even know how this happened: I got the fish back on land and drove us around a bit. I ended up taking us through a drive-thru, and now I'm here eating some fries.

How are they?

Not great. They prepared them for a fish. And then we let Grassy control the robot, and then he communicated with the nearby fish.

*clears throat* I'm Grassy!

Grassy's message is translated for the fish.

And then we let Bell drive.

I can't control it.

No! Bell, you can do anything!-- Uh, she wasn't trying to be dramatic. She genuinely just couldn't.

Looks like your leadership abilities on this side have been disastrous, Basketball. I've been keeping the hostage in line, and TV's been fully cooperating.

Looks like Robot Flower's been looking after him, if anything.

Robot Flower! They don't care about us machines. We should take down this fish before it gets out of hand.

a-Sorry, TV. I'm sticking with my team!

Robot Flower, trust me. Destroy it before it gets out of control. Us mechanical minds have to stick together.

No! I can't!

Just Not!

Just not what?

Over there, flying into the sky!

That's preposterous. I- oh, what the?! After them! Hey, excuse me, how the heck is this possible?

Through the power of misdefinition, anything is possible!

Puffball, attack!

Puffball grabs Nickel with her mouth.

Aah! Help me, help me, help me!

Pillow? You mind taking care of Puffball for us?

No worries! Bye, Bomby!

Pillow ignites Bomby and throws him towards Puffball.

Help me, help me!

Fries alerts Puffball to Bomby, and the two of them get out of the way. Nickel is launched away by Bomby's explosion.

Goodbye and good luck!

Woah! Not cool.

Puffball! Start chomping!

Puffball chases after Just Not while chomping. Pan to Black Hole and Lightning, who are observing this.

Should we like, go join that mayhem, or nah?

Eh, I kind of like getting to have a break. Besides, the juice is delicious!

Oh, can I try some?

Of course!

Lightning throws his glass of juice into Black Hole.

Well, that's just great!

Yellow face recovers Ice Cube and Winner throws Ice Cube into the Goiky Canal for a lot of times. The canal freezes over.

Stop! The top is rock solid!

Bulleh! (vomits on Ice Cube)

I mean ice solid.

Good work, Icy!

Now, we just wait for someone to swim on up!

Come back here, TD!

(signals to Eraser)

Huh? You want me to follow you?

(nods)

Uh, okay? Where are we going? Where are- oh my God! The plates! You found them! But why did you bring me here? Uh, TD? Teardrop, where are you?

A fish monster appears and roars.

What?!

Eraser grabs a plate and begins running away from the fish monster. Teardrop grabs the rest of the plates.

Okay, Pen! Cut it out!

Me? I haven't been in control for at least 80 bounces!

This is exactly why we need to only have SOME team members perform certain tasks, Tennis Ball! Pen goofed off, and now we're all paying the price!

Hey! You bumped me first, and who made you the team leader anyway? I'd be just as good as you!

I'd slap you, but the bouncing bubbles are already doing a good job at that!

Guys! Help! A monster is coming! Escape while you can!

What? Eraser, we're stuck here! Help us!

The fish monster eats Golf Ball and Tennis Ball.

Quick! Pen, I've got two of the plates! Let's get outta here!

You've got it, bro!

Cut to Just Not.

Lightning cloud!

Book is zapped by a lightning strike and falls to her death.

Oh no! Look up ahead! A dragon!

The dragon growls. Pillow throws Cake into the dragon's face. The dragon whimpers and falls down.

Easy to take care of. What's next?

Us! Your biggest foes yet! With me and Puffball in the way, there's nothing we can't-

Pillow throws Price Tag at Fries, who falls off of Puffball.

Welp, didn't see that coming. At least the worst is ove-

Price Tag and Fries are killed due to fall damage.

And now it's just you and me, Pillow!

I'm not worried! La la la la!

Cut to Team8s.

Let me go, Coiny!

Luckily, this magnet lets you select what is attracted. Here. (pushes button on the magnet) Done!

Wait! Everyone, get onto the train, now! Coiny, set the magnet to magnify the train!

What? But it won't move, and we'll be stuck here!

Trust me, Coiny, set it!

I got you!

Okay! See you soon, Coiny!

Needle throws Coiny ahead of the train, which follows the magnet.

Good idea, Needle!

(slaps Pin) Don't call it a good idea! Call it a GREAT idea!

Cut back underwater. The fish monster follows the robot fish monster.

Wait, guys! The fish thinks we're another fish monster!

Grassy communicated to the fish earlier using this speaker! Let's convince him to tell us where the plates are!

Robot fish monster: Hello, fellow fish! Seen any shiny plates? They should protect us from these objects swimming around!

The fish monster nods.

It's working! We're tricking him! Hehehe!

Wait, that's not cool. We shouldn't be tricking him.

We're just using the robot to our advantage. What's the problem?

It's one thing to use robotics to aid us, but to deceive others? No! We're not doing that.

It's fine. It's just a machine.

I'M just a machine!

I'm just Grassy!

I get that this must be frustrating for you, Robot Flower. Maybe you should just go hang with TV until we're done with everything.

Or we could do this! Us robots are taking you all down with us!

Robot Flower presses the self-destruct button on TV.

Robot Flower?! What are you doing?!

Us mechanical minds gotta stick together!

Water begins to fill the submarine. TV and Robot Flower short circuit.

Robot Flower? TV? No!

Guys! We have to get out of here!

The fish monster swims away and bumps into Teardrop, causing her to drop the plates. Cut to Tree and Marker, seeing Eraser and Pen.

[Tree, look! It's "Are You Okay?" And they have plates!]

Tree steals the plates from Eraser and tries to surface. Winner smashes the ice.

Yoink! I'll take that. Two! This one goes to us. Thanks!

It sure does! The S! are safe! Congratulations to all of you!

Bulleh! (vomits on Two again)

Tree is stuck in the ice. He taps Lightning's shoulder.

Oh! I've got you!

Lightning zaps the ice, causing it to break.

Thank you, Lightning!

Brilliant! Death P.A.C.T. Again are also safe!

Cut to Puffball and Pillow.

What's the goal, Pillow? How is your sky staircase gonna POSSIBLY help you win this challenge?

Because it might be fun to sometimes mess with gravity, but sometimes, it's fun to let nature do its thing as intended.

Pillow falls.

Woah!

Pillow lands in the water and grabs a plate. She returns to Two.

And here's a plate for you!

Nice! Just Not is safe!

Unlike those other teams, who are just not safe!

...What?

Teardrop grabs a plate and is launched up by the fish monster submarine. She emerges from the water as multiple tiny versions of herself.

Hello, Teardrops!

The teardrops merge with each other.

Wow! The teardrops are fading fast, because you're safe once again, TD! Only one more immunity is up for grabs! Who will win, Are You Okay, The Strongest Team on Earth, or Team8s? There's only one more shiny plate to save, and it's almost too stressful to watch!

Snowball! See if you can open that hatch!

It's sealed shut! I think the machines locked the doors! We're stuck!

No! I think this is finally gonna-

What?

EXPLO-

The robot fish monster does not explode.

Oh. I thought it was going to explode.

Eh, I guess it didn't explode.

Pen and Eraser land on the robot fish monster, causing it to explode and launching them and a plate to the surface.

Well, the plate is right here, but I can't win immunity! I need someone to give it to me for their immunity to count!

Eraser! Go hand over that plate already!

Got it! Now just to hand it to you, and-

Coiny steals the plate with his magnet.

What?!

World's. Strongest. Magnet. Here you go, Two! The plate is all safe and sound.

Thank you, Coiny! All the plates have been retrieved, which means- viewers! The Strongest Team on Earth. and Are You Okay are both up for elimination, but you only get one vote total, so vote for one of them to stay in the game. Make your one vote count!

Hi, it's me, Cary! Alright, so that was TPOT 5. Thank you so much for watching. And this time, it looks like Are You Okay and The Strongest Team on Earth are both up for elimination, so whichever member on both teams gets the fewest votes from you, the viewers, will be eliminated. Just the sad truth of how things are. Also, as we talked about in our last video, yes, we're gonna be having a BFDI and Inanimate Insanity meetup in both Los Angeles and New York this year. So if you've been watching our shows for a while, I think it'd be really cool to see you at one of our meetups. Unfortunately, the New York one just sold out, so there are no more tickets left to get, but the Los Angeles one still has a good chunk of tickets left to grab. But also, let's not forget about this munchkin, this Two plush! Because I know a lot of you have questions about it. The Two plushes will first be available to buy at the actual meetup on location, so if you come to the meetup, you'll be the first ones to get your hands on these. But if you can't come to a meetup for whatever reason, because you live far away or something like that, they will be available to purchase online after the meetups as well, so everyone can get their hands on one. But yeah, that was TPOT 5. Thank you to Samuel Thornbury for managing this episode. Also, I meant to say this last time, but for the amazing TPOT Cake at Stake intro that starts with "Hey Two, when you bake a cake," that whole song, that was written by Anko6theAnimator and animated by Highvan. And I just think that, like, it was really cool seeing them work together on such a, you know, really cool song and really fluid animation. It was just a really great project. But yeah, TPOT 5 has come to a close, and I'll see you all in TPOT 6!
