"We assist peeps!"
Chris: What do I do with you, man?
Bee: I don't know, I'm a bee! I'm just a little bee!

Memory Donk is the fourth episode of Bravest Warriors.

The Warriors are taking a flying bus ride to the NeoMars Convention Center, and we can see that not only is Jelly Kid, a small, transparent Ridiculously Cute Critter, creating tons of bread, Wallow is playing an educational game on a special medical edition Game Boy. However, something's not quite right; Chris starts talking to Beth, and they talk to each other as if they've never met each other before. It takes them a while to get to know each other, and they start realizing that they're friends, maybe even more so. Then, Danny comes over and says that if Beth is Chris' boyfriend, Danny could well be her husband. He introduces himself, Wallow, and Jelly Kid.

Pilot: This is your pilot speaking. I don't remember how to fly. We're all going to die.

After this announcement, the bus pilot jumps out the window into space and freezes to death, each of his three eyeballs cracking one by one. This leads to all the passengers freaking out, and the Warriors to discover that they're heading to their home planet: Mars. Danny commandeers the bus, and even lets Jelly Kid try and take a crack on it. Jelly Kid immediately initiates the self-destruct sequence. Danny cancels it, and Beth notices that she has a "sticker" on her belt that unleashes holographic critters once rubbed, and that all four of them have them - she has a cat, Wallow has a falcon, Danny has a dog and Chris has a bee. Chris realises that they must be in a group of some kind. The bus crashes partly into a building and Chris discovers that they are on course to crash into the NeoMars convention centre, leading to the passengers to panic and Ballerina Dude to start scratching at the ground, since ballerinas are natural burrowers. Chris agrees to help her.

Chris: I'll help!
Ballerina Dude: (sniffles) Really?
Chris: Help... We're here to... help you! That's why we're here!
Beth: Yeah, that's right!
Danny: Yeah!
Wallow: We assist peeps!

However, all is not well when an old lady in one of the front seats, who has been coughing for the duration of the episode, suddenly transforms into a giant mutant beast. Beth remembers that the beast is a Memory Donk, an alien creature who steals memories. Danny asks Jelly Kid for assistance, to make them some weapons. Instead, Jelly Kid dives out of the window, using a piece of bread as a parachute, never to be seen again. The Warriors unleash the weapon forms of their critters, but don't know how to use them. Simply punching the Donk doesn't work either, as she has more strength than any one of them. The gang is about to crash into NeoMars, but Beth summons a cat bubble at the very last second, thus diluting the impact of the crash, lading the bus safely. The Memory Donk exits the bus and transforms back into her normal self, and we see that the convention was a Memory Donk convention all along and the crowds are filled with other Memory Donks. The Memory Donk also reveals that she simply "donked out there for a moment", and gives back everybody's memories. Beth awards Chris with a kiss, before getting her memories back and realises that they're Just Friends. The episode ends with Ballerina Dude performing a dance.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Ass Kicking Pose:
    Danny: What do we do now?!
    Chris: I don't know, it just feels right to pose like this!
  • Chekhov's Gunman: The old lady, who can be seen coughing throughout the episode before her literal transformation into an Anti-Villain.
  • Hulking Out: The Memory Donk reveals that her transformation into a giant was simply her "donking out".
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: Anyone who hasn't seen this episode probably already knows that the Bravest Warriors are from Mars, even though this episode treats it like a twist.
  • Product Placement: Parodied on a sign on the bus: "SIGNS! They're everywhere in the future."
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter: Jelly Kid and Ballerina Dude.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here:
    • The bus driver jumps out of the window and freezes into ice.
    • When Danny tells Jelly Kid to make a weapon, it jumps out of the bus, using bread as a parachute.
  • The Speechless: Jelly Kid, who appears to only be able to say "PSHEW!" as he makes bread.
