Captain Underpants Professor Pippy

My favourite epic novel fourth epic novel is "Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants" (2000) was like a Lego movie, Lego: The Adventures of Clutch Powers.

Plot


Professor Pippy P. Poopypants, a scientist from a country where everyone has a silly name, New Swissland, invents a shrinking machine, the Shrinky-Pig 2000, named because it looks like a baby piggy and an enlarging machine, the Goosy-Grow 4000, so named because it looks like a goose. He goes to America so he can show these inventions to everyone and help the world by using his machines to shrink the world's garbag

e and increase the world's food supply. Unfortunately, everyone laughs at Professor Poopypants' name, instead of taking him seriously.

One day at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School, the school is going on a field trip to a restauran

t to eat pizza and play video games, but when George and Harold change the sign, Mr. Krupp catches them, and bans them from the field trip and forces them to clean the Teacher's Lounge. But George and Harold get revenge on Mr. Krupp and all the other teachers by changing the route of the sprayer, and putting powdered paste on the ceiling fan, and putting Styrofoam in the refrigerator. The teachers get sprayed by the sink, and the paste sticks to them, and the Styrofoam sticks to the teachers, and they get steamed up with George and Harold and chase them in the school. After seeing the teachers running through the school resembling snowmen, the school's science teacher Mr. Fyde quits his job to retire, thinking he's going insane. Meanwhile, Professor Poopypants has had no success showing his inventions to the world, and sees an ad in the newspaper to teach at Jerome Horwitz. He applies for the job, thinking that children would be kind and sweet-hearted, but the children are no different than anyone else and are too distracted by his silly name to focus.

Professor Poopypants manages to get the children interested in science by building a Robot Machine that allows gerbils to jog alongside their masters. However, this interest is short-lived, as he reveals his middle name to be Pee-Pee, causing the children to start laughing again. Ms. Ribble reads the story of The Pied Pipe

r from Hamelin. This inspires George and Harold to make a comic book about the Professor inventing an army of gerbil joggers to destroy the world, which destroys the last of Professor Poopypants' credibility with the students and drives him crazy.

Using his enlarging machine, he makes the gerbil machine as large as a tall building and then gets in

side. He shrinks the school and holds them hostage. He then unveils his plan to force everyone in the world to change their names so everyone will have a silly name instead of a normal one, and anyone who refuses will be shrunk. Professor Poopypants does this first on Mr. Krupp. Mr. Krupp becomes Lumpy Pottybiscuits. All the children find this funny, until Professor Poopypants forces them to use the chart to change their names as well. (celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Zsa-Zsa Gabor and Englebert Humperdinck are referenced in the Name Change-O-Chart.)full list of silly names

George and Harold (now Fluffy and Cheeseball) get Captain Underpants (now Buttercup Chickenfanny, but Captain Underpants doesn't change his name and says he's taking orders from no one) to steal Professor Poopypants' enlarging machine, but unfortunately he and the machine are shrunk in the process.

The two of them try to enlarge the school back to normal size, but get flicked off the school. Cheeseball makes a paper airplane that Fluffy enlarges. The plane flies into many threats, yet Captain Underpants rescues them and they end up in an abandoned alley. Fluffy tries to enlarge Captain Underpants (accidentally enlargi

ng Cheeseball's right hand) to the size of Professor Poopypants' gerbil machine. Captain Underpants then fights and defeats Professor Poopypants. Once Professor Poopypants is defeated, everyone gets their names back. The boys use the shrinking and enlarging machines to get the school and Captain Underpants back to normal size. Then Captain Underpants gets soaked with water, turning back to Mr. Krupp.

Professor Poopypants is hauled off to jail. On the advice of George and Harold, he changes his name so no one will make fun of it anymore. Sadly, he chooses his grandfather's name (on his mother's side), Tippy Tinkletrousers, which the people at jail make fun of,setting the climax for book 9.

The moral of the story ("I think this is the first time one of our stories had a moral," notes George) is that it's not nice to make fun of people.

Professor Poopypants, a scientist from a country where everyone has a silly name, New Swissland, invents a shrinking machine, the Shrinky-Pig 2000 and an enlarging machine, the Goosy-Grow 4000. He goes to America so he can show these inventions to everyone and help the world by using his machines to shrink the world's garbage and increase the world's food supply.

Meanwhile, the kids in Jerome Horwitz Elementary School are going on a field trip to a pizza place. While George and Harold are waiting to get on the bus, they decide to change the school sign, until Mr. Krupp catches them "red-handed" since he has been hiding in the bushes next to the sign. As the boys' punishment, they are banned from the field trip and have to spend the whole afternoon cleaning up the teachers' lounge. The teachers laugh at them. The two boys decide to play a prank on the teachers. First, they tape the water nozzle of the sink, to make it on when the water runs, second they fill powder of paste on the wings of the ceiling fan. Finally, they place millions of foam pellets in the fridge. When the students finally come back and go home, the teachers spend their time taunting at George and Harold. Mr. Meaner says that he was going to bring back a pizza, but, eats it on the bus. When they finish taunting the boys, they go off to the teachers' lounge. When the teachers go into the lounge to relax, they fall on George and Harold's trap. The teachers end up looking like abominable snowmen (they are covered with foam pellets) and they run, scream, and chase George and Harold down the hall.

Their old science teacher, Morty Fyde quits because he thought he had cracked up- first, he says a toilet ate him. Then he says that later he started hearing dogs and cats in his classroom, then he imaginaed the school got flooded with sticky green goo, and finally, he saw the other teachers chase George and Harold down the hall as "abominable snowmen"; he was on bus duty currently at that timing. Mr. Krupp says that can all be explained as George and Harold's doing, but Mr. Fyde also insists that he saw some fat bald man in his underwear fly out a window (obviously Captain Underpants) which makes Mr. Krupp realize he has gone crazy since he has no proof that is George and Harold's doing. Meanwhile Professor Poopypants has been trying to demonstrate his new inventions to the world, but nobody takes him seriously due to laughing at his silly name. Eventually he begins running out of money to become a teacher at a school. He then goes to a New York coffee shop and after finding an ad, he decides to become an elementary school science teacher. He is convinced that the innocence and sweetness of children will let them pay attention to him, but they all laugh at his name instead after he declares what it is.

A week later, Professor Poopypants manages to get the children interested in science by building a machine called the Gerbil-Jogger 2000 that allows gerbils to jog alongside their masters. However, this interest is short-lived (thanks to George), as he reveals his middle name to be Pee-Pee, causing the children to start laughing again. Ms. Ribble reads the story of The Pied Piper from Hamelin. This inspires George and Harold to make a comic book about the Professor inventing an army of gerbil joggers to destroy the world, which destroys the last of Professor Poopypants' credibility with the students and drives him crazy (after he found a copy of the comic in the hallway). The gerbils listen to music by Cher.

Using his enlarging machine, he makes the gerbil machine as large as a tall building and then gets inside. He shrinks the school and holds them hostage. He then unveils his plan to force everyone in the world to change their names so everyone will have a silly name instead of a normal one, and anyone who refuses will be shrunk. Professor Poopypants does this first on Mr. Krupp. Mr. Krupp becomes Lumpy Pottybiscuits. All the children find this funny, until Professor Poopypants forces them to use the chart to change their names as well.

George and Harold (now Fluffy and Cheeseball) get Captain Underpants (now Buttercup Chickenfanny, but Captain Underpants refuses to change his name) to steal Professor Poopypants' enlarging machine, but unfortunately he gets caught and both him and the machine are shrunk in the process.

George and Harold try to enlarge the school back to normal size, but get flicked off the school by the Professor. Cheeseball makes a paper airplane that Fluffy enlarges. The plane flies into many threats, yet Captain Underpants rescues them and they end up in an abandoned alley. Harold tries to enlarge Captain Underpants (accidently enlarging Cheeseball's right hand) to the size of Professor Poopypants' gerbil machine. Captain Underpants then fights and defeats Professor Poopypants. Once Professor Poopypants is defeated, everyone gets their names back. The boys use the shrinking and enlarging machines to get themselves, the school and Captain Underpants back to normal size. Then Captain Underpants gets dressed back up like Mr. Krupp before being soaked with water, turning him back to his old nasty self again.

Professor Poopypants is then hauled off to jail. George then questions Professor Poopypants wouldn't it have been smarter to try changing his own name instead of forcing the rest of the world to change theirs. The surprised professor notes he never thought of that. As per George's advice, Professor Poopypants changes his name so no one will make fun of it anymore. Sadly, he chooses his grandfather's name (on his mother's side), Tippy Tinkletrousers, which the people at jail make fun of (including the guards).

The moral of the story ("I think this is the first time one of our stories had a moral," notes George) is that it's not nice to make fun of people.

George and Harold unfortunately forgot another moral in the story which was do not hypnotize the school principal because anything can go from bad to worse at the snap of a finger. Mr. Krupp then turns back into Captain Underpants (thanks to Ms. Anthrope) with George and Harold holding onto his cape saying "Oh No!" and "Here we go again!".
