THE KING OF TOWN: For reals this time!

{Cut to a stylized King of Town's Castle surrounded by sheep. A silhouette of The Chef goes to the door and rings the doorbell}

THE KING OF TOWN: Somebody get the door! I'll get it!

{Cut to the inside of the castle, where the King of Town stands by the door. The door opens and reveals The Chef with a pizza box with his face on it.}

THE CHEF: {has a strong accent} Pizza for you... Kingy-ding?

{The King of Town takes the pizza; cut to him.}

THE KING OF TOWN: Thanks Chef! {pronounces "chef" with a hard CH; closes door hard on The Chef}

{Cut to a long table with The Hornblower, The Bishop, The Blacksmith, and The Knight turning to each other}

{The King of Town walks over}

THE KING OF TOWN: Here ya go, boy-o's! {drops pizza box on table. looks other way} Poopsmith! Pizza's here! Don't forget to forget to wash your hands!

{A stylized Poopsmith walks in, with green clouds surrounding him. The King of Town's eyes pop bigger and his crown pops up and falls back on his head}

THE KING OF TOWN: Whoo! What is that reek? {looks at The Poopsmith} The Poopsmith, you smell like a crapsmith! Have you tried showering?

{Cut to The Poopsmith, who nods his head. Cut back to King of Town}

THE KING OF TOWN: Bathing?

{Cut back to The Poopsmith, who nods his head. Cut back to King of Town}

THE KING OF TOWN: Wearing a baseball cap and putting deodorant on outside your shirt?

{Cut to The Poopsmith, who pauses and then nods. Cut back to King of Town}

THE KING OF TOWN: Well, I'm out of ideas. {looks over to the table} anyone else?

{Cut to the table}

THE KNIGHT: Have you tried...

{Cut to the mountains where The Knight stands next to The Poopsmith, who is tied to a log stuck in the ground. A dragon looks at both of them. A sign is pointing up to The Dragon: multi function dragon}

THE KNIGHT: {to The Poopsmith}So, I'm gonna set this thing to sanitize, and it'll burn the stink right off ya'!

{The Knight throws his spear at the Dragon's stomach. There are different labels on the Dragon's scales: "pots n pans", "instant death", "sanitize", "puree", and "tumble dry". The spear hits "instant death".}

THE KNIGHT: Ooooooh, yeah! This is gonna be awesome!

{The Dragon leans back and its pupils are replaced by skull and crossbones symbols. The Dragon falls with much force on The Knight}

THE BLACKSMITH: Have you tried...

{Cut to The Blacksmith pouring "Përfüme" in some bellows. He sprays it at The Poopsmith. The perfume goes straight, but the perfume stops at the clouds of stink and goes back a bit.}

PERFUME BALL: Ooooh! Ooh! I've lived a terrible life! I was a horrible husband and father! I watch too much sports! AAAAh! {puffs out into several clouds and disintegrates}

THE BISHOP: Have you tried...

{Cut to a church like scene. The Bishop is holding up a scroll.}

THE BISHOP: I now pronounce you man and pleasant odor!

{Cut to The Poopsmith, who is wearing a bowtie and holding a bouquet of roses. The Hornblower starts playing wedding music with his horn. The Poopsmith kisses the flowers, which keel over and turn brown, along with the horn.}

THE KING OF TOWN: Have you tried...

{The King of Town and The Blacksmith start throwing a football in the air.}

THE KING OF TOWN: A little tackle football? Me and The Blacksmith {zoom out to reveal a shower next to The Poopsmith} versus The Poopsmith and that shower! Hut one, hut two, and a hike!

{The Blacksmith rushes forward and tackles the shower while The King of Town and The Poopsmith look on.}

THE KING OF TOWN: ...way to protect this house, but uh... that wasn't really what I had in mind.

{Cut to the inside of the castle where The King of Town stands with everyone but The Poopsmith. The Poopsmith's Whatsit pile is visible outside.}

THE KING OF TOWN: Well beezos, I hoped it wouldn't come to this, but there's only one thing left to do!

{Cut to the mountains, where everyone flies through the air while music plays.}

SINGERS: Jumping fun! You're jumping through the air. Jumping fun!

{The King and his men all fall into the pile of whatsit. Cut to the table, where everybody is covered in whatsit and eating pizza}

THE KING OF TOWN: Well, you know what I always say, "If you can't beat make The Poopsmith smell good, join... beat make The Poopsmith smell good!" Right? Everybody?

{Inset to The Poopsmith while more music plays. The Poopsmith gives a "thumbs up sign"}

SINGERS: Jumping fun!

{The scene zooms out to The Dragon rotting in front of the castle}

THE KING OF TOWN: {voiceover} Whoo! Did I say Crapsmith? I shoulda said rotting-Dragon-smith! That is ripe!

Remarks

• Excluding the Poopsmith, the Hornblower is now the only one of the previously silent King's servants not to speak in this cartoon.
• The Bishop is now clad in purple, the traditional color worn by clergy in some Christian denominations during Lent, the liturgical season during which this short was released.

Goofs

• When the King of Town answers the door, the chef isn't standing on a tongue.

Inside References

• This short is a reference to senior prom, in which the King of Town gets his own cartoon show, only to be quickly preempted by Strong Bad's Email program.

Real World References
