Full Recap
This episode introduces new viewers to 23 main characters in total. For the guys who just started watching this version of the show after seeing the previous incarnation, this show reintroduces 15 contestants and the two hosts (Printer and Computer), as well as introducing us to six new characters (Beep Boop, Cactus, Carpet, Coffee Cup, Paint, and Whipped Cream).Kicking the first episode of the second reboot off, original series veteran Wallet tells an offensive joke, one about her face being retarded, to first reboot veteran Biscuit for the umpteenth time, even false-reassuring that it would be different. Biscuit then punches him and tells him to jump off a bridge and get eaten by a lion. As she has found a seemingly peaceful place to hang about, Mint pops up and causes her to scream in terror. Meanwhile, as Carpet haplessly flirt with Magazine, Trowel and Beer decide to prank Arch on a cliff, ignoring Beep Boop's warning. As Arch comes the two's way, they prank him with a "spooky minion" picture which scares him and stumbles over a tripwire the duo set up when he tries to run off. Trowel and Beer laugh at Arch falling into the water below and celebrates their success. Understandably, he is ticked off about this and declares that his life is getting worse and worse.
A bored and now able-to-talk Plug decides to kick Flash Drive into the water for no other reason than "YOLO." Flash Drive short-circuits before exploding and is angered by this upon revival. Out of nowhere, Mint eagle-shrieks in front of Flash Drive and showing off his talking unibrow. Plug asks them if they can just get along, only to get scolded by them saying no one likes him.Somewhere else, Paint and Whipped Cream converse about songs. The former asks the latter if he wants to listen to a mixtape on his phone. Whipped Cream objects saying the memes are too dank and the songs themselves were copyrighted. Paint ignores him and proceeds to play anyway, right in front of the camera. A technical difficulties screen just happens to cut to the next scene. Skittle is eating her favorite food Skittles when Stapler comes up and asks if its cannibalism, adding one comment: "Cannibals are scrubs." MLG Gansta vibes intensify. Road Sign walks up to Fart and asks him if he would like to play Football with her. Fart is really eager to do so as it's his favorite sport but he ends up somehow cloning himself three times.
On another cliff, Cactus proudly proclaims that he's a jock. Coffee Cup and Recycling Bin look down at his statement, with the latter stating that he's weaker than a sheet of paper. Infuriated, Cactus proceeds to throw Recycling Bin off the cliff to prove his strength. Down below, Recycling Bin lands next to Computer, who ends up spilling oil on his project: a robot named Printer. As he cleans it up, he explains to Recycling Bin that he wants to host a competition show where he's giving away a cruise ship he made as a prize and is building Printer to host the show because he's lazy. Initially, nothing happens after the oil is cleaned off but Printer dramatically starts to glow and turns on.
The newly "born" Printer introduces himself and explains the features he has. Computer slaps him, causing him to malfunction and shut off, only to boot back up and slap him back. He then accuses Computer of disabling his Personality Chip, but he explains he was only testing. Printer, noticing Recycling Bin, asks him if he wants to compete in his competition show, attempting to show the cruise ship when he accidentally shows a picture of... him and Tiffany Jefferson with an X in the middle. "Wrong gift..." he tells Recycling Bin, before correctly showing the ship. Recycling Bin decides to join Printer, and shows him the 19 other people who might want to compete in his show.
