Well, it's the day we've all been waiting for,
folks, the Big Freeze.
Hello, I'm Root Summers, former chief meteorologist
for Channel 12 Action News, pretending not to be devastated
by my recent demotion
to covering human interest stories like this one.
Kick it to the curb, youngster.
Big wave PS 38!
[singing]
Remember, kids, smile to the kids.
Smile to the kids. Happy faces.
Judges love happy. Happy, happy, happy, happy.
[roaring]
Introducing Jefferson Middle!
- Wow. - Whoa.
Everyone shush.
Jefferson Middle will now reveal our amazing sculpture,
Freezeadek, the Jefferson knight!
[gasping]
[cheering]
Whoa.
A near perfect score for Jefferson.
Gonna be tough to beat.
Okay, guys, we did our best,
which probably was woefully insufficient.
But if we go down, which let's be honest with ourselves,
we probably will we go down as a team.
Dude, worst pep talk ever.
What are we?!
Team Awesome!
[screaming]
It looks like a squashed ham.
That's circle cheese, I think.
It's a basketball, right? Is it? It is.
[chuckles]
[baby crying]
Super potato sore.
You are uglier than I ever imagined.
The judges are indiscernible deliberating,
but we have a pretty good idea of the winner here.
Jefferson wins! PS 38 loses! I win!
Booyah!
[indistinct shouting]
Hold on. It appears that PS 38 is lining up
in some kind of formation.
Potato roar! Potato roar!
Now!
A snowball ambush! Ah!
Seth, the knight! Hit the knight!
Come on, man!
[gasping]
I know what you're thinking.
What in Pearl's mother is happening?
Please enjoy this expositional flashback.
It should clear some things up a bit.
Hey, guys.
Nate, what are you doing here?
[sighing] I messed up really bad.
I shouldn't have let beating Nolan become
more important than my best friends.
And hey, I'm really sorry.
Thanks, Nate. Th- That means a lot.
We know how much you hate apologizing.
It's true, I do.
You coming back, Nate?
I am Chad, but I need all of your help first.
Mm-hmm.
Someone's got a plan.
It's the statue from outside of Jefferson Middle School.
They cheated!
The hashtag hashtag Jefferson hoax is unfolding
right before our very eyes.
Jefferson cheated. They cheated. They cheated.
They cheated! I'm a real reporter!
Hiss!
The champion of this year's Big Freeze is PS 38.
[cheering]
Good job, kids!
Nate Wright!
My mom was right. Men never change.
Bye bye, Nolan. I'm taking my eight foot wingspan
and my awe inspiring basketball skills
to a school where I'll be appreciated, PS 38.
You know what to do.
[rumbling]
Watch out, guys!
Looks like Nolan had a backup plan!
Let me at 'em! Let me at 'em!
Charge!
And so what began as a friendly competition
escalated into something far greater.
[shrieking]
[screaming]
And while our heroes were weaker, smaller,
and let's face it, kind of pathetic...
[screaming]
they had far better senses of humor
than those entitled little brats at Jefferson.
And certainly more heart.
That was awesome!
Nate, you ruined everything!
[screaming]
Let's go get 'em!
Potato roar!
