Iris wants to enter the Gloomsville Book of Records, but no matter how hard she tries, she's beaten by everyone else. It soon leads to a fallout between her and Ruby, whom Iris believes is giving her bad luck as she was there at every record attempt.
----
!!Tropes:

* BalloonBelly: Iris has one when trying to break the record for eating the most of Gloomsville's stinkiest cheese; gorgonlimburgerazola. It disappears as soon as she gives up.
* EscalatingPunchline:
-->'''Ruby:''' How about this one, Iris? The record for balancing cantaloupes.\\
'''Iris:''' That's easy.\\
'''Ruby:''' While on a unicycle.\\
'''Iris:''' No problem.\\
'''Ruby:''' On a tightrope.\\
'''Ruby:''' And whistling Mozart.\\
'''Ruby:''' In a tornado.
* FeudEpisode: Iris and Ruby have a fallout. The former believes the latter gives her bad luck, something the latter takes offense to.
* GlassShatteringSound: Iris' attempt at breaking the record for "highest-pitched shriek" results in tons of broken windows and glassware.
* LateToThePunchline: When Iris tells a joke and it bombs, Ruby starts laughing after about a minute, saying she just got it. It's not made clear whether she really was late to the punchline or she was just trying to humor Iris.
* ParentalBonus:
-->'''Skull Boy:''' Misery, we're having a brainstorm session. My room in ten minutes! ''(hangs up)''\\
''(Misery, Scaredy, Frank and Len exchange awkward looks)''\\
'''Skull Boy:''' ''(picks up again)'' Oh, [[NotWhatItLooksLike that goes for the rest of you too]].\\
>'''Others:''' Oh.
* TelecomTree: Skull Boy calls Misery --who is with Scaredy, Frank, and Len-- for a brainstorming session to help Iris and Ruby reconcile. After Misery & company exchange awkward glances, Skull Boy picks up again to tell them they are invited too.
