Huh?
This umbrella can protect against any kind of weather!
-[thunder clap] -Actually, that's my anti-umbrella.
The umbrella that brings the weather to you!
I invented it shortly before I was banned from inventing.
Aaagh! See?
I'm not in a buying mood now, okay?
Then take the umbrella for free!
Ginger, don't give stuff away!
We need to make money today or we won't be able to pay our rent.
And Ben, lighten up. You're bumming-out the customers.
I thought you were okay with the bracelet.
It's not the bracelet, it's the company!
Even if we sell enough stuff to pay the rent,
Tom and Ben Enterprises is still doomed.
-We'll be okay. -We make inventions!
-We just need to find one big idea. -But I can't invent!
And hopefully soon, because these bills are piling up.
[rumbling]
Oh, good, Angela! You brought more stuff to sell.
These aren't for sale, Tom. They're my stuff subscriptions.
It's the hot new thing, where companies send you mystery boxes of cool stuff.
Musty old Halloween costumes? Nice!
It's worse than the junk we're selling!
No, it's better, because people love mystery boxes.
Look, there's even a popular show about opening them!
Welcome to Rockin' And Unboxin'!
Today, we got silly straws, y'all!
Aw, I'm stoked to slurp and giggle!
-Guys, I just found our big idea. -[heavenly choir]
And I found monster teeth!
Rarr!
Aaagh!
[crowd cheering]
[laughing]
I know how we're going to pay our rent this month,
and it's going to save Tom and Ben Enterprises.
-[heavenly choir] -Huh?
-Wow! -Boy!
I bet the thing that's gonna save the company is in that box!
No. It is that box.
I call it Great Crate.
We are going to sell boxes of mystery stuff.
Ooh! like in the Rockin' And Unboxin' videos! I love those!
Tom, what are we gonna put in these boxes, a bunch of outdated tech?
We could! Because if we put it in the crate, it's great!
How about that for a catchphrase, huh?
[upbeat Latin rhythms]
I'll buy one of those.
That last thing you guys gave me made me really happy.
[thunder clap]
See, Tom? Salesboy of the year.
No selling stuff inside the diner. What is it, anyway?
A mystery crate of stuff that's great!
Wait a minute. You're tellin' me I don't even get to know what I'm buying?
What an adventure! Sign me up!
Well, we did it!
We sold enough crates to pay the rent and save our company.
I told you we'd be okay.
You were right, Tom. This was a good idea!
Hey guys, the MC just put out a new video!
What up box-heads? It's a new box alert!
Just got a box from a new company called Great Crate!
That's us! My entertainment world and my life world are colliding!
Yo, it's a musical toothbrush, y'all.
Nice! I'm all about cavity prevention and dancin'!
Oh, no. This is bad.
What's wrong, Ben? This is gonna be great publicity for us.
Rockin' And Unboxin' has a million viewers.
If even one percent of them buys a Great Crate,
we won't be able to fill the orders!
Our company will collapse again!
Ben, I'm sure that won't happen.
[phone chimes]
[chiming together]
-[chiming continuing] -Okay, um... We can fix this.
-We can fill a few thousand more boxes. -[chiming continuing]
I mean, uh, there's plenty of stuff lying around the garage, right?
-I'll get the trash! -Wait!
Think about the reputation of our company.
You can't stuff boxes with things that aren't even good!
It doesn't have to be good. Once it's in the crate, it's great!
I hope.
[funky soundtrack]
People like half-empty bottles of salad dressing, right?
Hold on, fellas. Stay back!
Our memories?
Hey, if that picture wasn't saved to your phone
then it wasn't important in the first place, was it?
Which reminds me, we should put our phones in a box.
[sighs] We did it.
By turning to nature, we managed to fill all the orders.
I hope people are happy with their boxes of dirt and leaves.
At least things can go back to normal now.
What? No!
What did you monsters do to the TV?
Okay, well, uh, here's what I think, uh, might have happened.
Grr!
-There's a chance... -Grr!
...the TV maybe wound up in one of the crates?
Yes, purely an accident.
It ain't worth it, buddy! They were just trying to save the garage!
Aaagh! My garage is ruined!
Where is my front lawn?
Where are my daffodils?
Where are my petunias?
We had a very good reason to ruin the lawn.
Also, it's better, uh, for your allergies! No pollen! Bad pollen gone!
I should evict you for this!
Please don't! This was all so we could pay our rent!
Get off my property.
And if this is not fixed by tomorrow you can pack your things.
Evicted!
[Angela] I'm picturing a river. A peaceful river.
-[sitar playing] -Nothing disturbs my river.
Right this way, guys.
Come on. Hey, what's up, Angela?
Good news, we're moving in!
We ruined the garage stuffing Great Crates and now we're basically evicted.
I'll claim this area.
Just to warn everyone, I'm a very loud snorer.
You guys can't move in here every time you screw something up in the garage.
-You're polluting my river. -[sitar playing]
Well, that's life, Angela.
The world is a dark and twisted place where your friends give away your TV! Oh!
I'm gonna give away their faces!
Aaaaggghhh!
Easy there, Hankie. Look, Angela has a TV, too.
It's not the same.
Grr! You can't give up on the garage. You have to get it back.
But we can't make people give back their Great Crates.
-Maybe you can't. -[sitar playing]
But I know who can.
No can do, friend-a-reenos!
An unboxer could never ask their audience to re-box something.
Come on, MC. We're desperate.
I took an oath to open boxes, take things out of them,
and excitedly tell people what those things were.
Speaking of which,
I got to get to a live Rockin' And Unboxin' extrav-o-bonanza. Peace!
Well, that's it. This is our life now.
We'll never be able to stop making Great Crates.
-We'll just travel from place to place-- -Don't even think about it, Tom!
Well, since you're doing that, what if you put this subscription box in a box?
It'd be like a double subscription. You'd be a hero!
Huh! You can get rid of it if you want.
Opening it was fun, but there's really no reason to have a bunch of spooky costumes.
-Huh! -[heavenly choir]
Or maybe there is.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
It's gonna be hard not to eat these waffle-scented candles!
But now it's time for the next box!
This one's from G-G-G-G-Great Crate!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! It's soil, y'all!
Great for tomatoes, making footprints, and storing worms!
-[vinyl scratches] -Uh... Huh...
[thunder clap]
-Waaa! -[screams]
Who are you? Get away from me.
We are the evil spirits of, um...
stuff!
[echoing] We come with a warning!
Avoid the Great Crates, lest you be cursed.
I... I don't understand!
We're just a-rockin' and unboxin'. Why curse us?
The Great Crate makers trespassed into our forbidden lands!
They took our shirts,
our flowers...
And our beloved television set.
[Angela] Now, anyone who keeps one of those items will never be happy again!
Mwa-ha-ha!
-[roars] -[screams]
Whoa! Whoa!
No, no, no, no, no. Okay, okay.
You heard the monsters.
Don't keep your Great Crates. They're cursed.
Destroy 'em all, y'all!
No, wait. Don't destroy them.
To avoid the curse,
you must mail back every Great Crate to the place from which they came.
Okay, okay. Mail those Great Crates back, y'all!
Oh, TV, I'm so glad to have you back.
I felt like a completely different person without you.
It actually scared me, to be perfectly honest.
It scared us too, Hank. Seriously.
Well, we're out of the exciting world of stuff subscriptions.
And I still can't do tech.
-So, we're still doomed. -Hey.
At least everything is back to normal, and we made a little bit of money.
Maybe enough to fund our next big idea.
Sure, if your next big idea is paying the rent!
Oh, yeah. Or that.
