Does anybody remember the TV show "Bubble Guppies" it's a show about seven fish-tailed children named Molly, Gil, Goby, Deema, Oona, Nonny, and my personal favorite guppy Zooli, who explore the undersea world named Bubbletucky where they go to a preschool hosted by a teacher named Mr. Grouper, but there is one episode where Zooli got visited by six ghosts and reveals the true meaning of Black Friday.
but this story is not narrated by me, it was instead narrated by Minnie Mouse.
So Me, Daisy, Cuckoo Loca, and Clarabelle are shopping for toys that Millie and Melody want, when we came across a "Bubble Guppies" DVD, the cover consisted of Molly, Gil, Bubble Puppy, and Mr. Grouper in a underwater background with text above them reading "Bubble Guppies: Molly and Gil's Swimsational Adventures"
the bottom reads "Features Five of Molly and Gil's Greatest Adventures." along with the Nick Jr DVD logo and Paramount DVD logo.
the disc had Molly and Gil on the bottom and the show's logo and text, we went home to show Millie and Melody the DVD we bought after we payed the cashier 4 dollars.
"Whoa! is that a DVD?" Melody ask
"I bet it is girls." I answered, I then inserted the disc in my portable DVD player and it had the Nickelodeon 2010 logo, but the logo somehow got shoved by a big crowd of people.
the Nick Jr Frogs logo came after, but after the Blue Frog croak a male voice said "Hold it."
"What is it now?" the Orange Frog spoke
"Please don't tell us that we are in a bad variant now." the Blue Frog facepalmed
"No, this time, I'm afraid you are in the Black Friday variant now." the male voice answered
"What!?" the frogs gasped there was an explosion and the variant changed the lilypads have stock prices, and the Frogs look like they are rich, they wink instead of croaking as the wordmarks "Nick" and "Jr." faded onto their bellies.
then the Paramount DVD logo appeared but the logo had snow on it, and when the DVD text flashed, a sound of Black Friday People could be heard.
then it shows the Previews of other Nick Jr and Nickelodeon Shows such as "Go Diego Go, Wonder Pets, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Blue's Clues, Little Bear, Dora the Explorer, and Ni Hao Kai Lan." plus Bubble Guppies App promo
after the previews it took me to the menu, which depicted of the "Good Morning Mr. Grouper" segment, Goby is packing his lunchbox and waves at the viewers, then Nonny, then Oona, then Gil, then Bubble Puppy,
"Good Morning Mr. Grouper." the class greeted
"Good Morning Everyone." Mr. Grouper said back "today is a special day for Molly and Gil, we are celebrating their Swimsational Adventures."
"Really, Ooh, What Kind of Adventures?" Deema, Oona, and Goby ask
"Good question." Mr. Grouper commented "Let me tell you how to explore the menu, you can play the episodes from beginning to end by clicking on "Play All" you can select your favorite episode by clicking on "Episode Selection", you can change languages or subtitles by clicking on "Set Up" and you can use Fintastic Tips your family can enjoy by clicking on "Special Features." so what do you want to do."
after Mr. Grouper said that, the menu options were
- Play All
- Episode Selection
- Set Up
- Special Features
I pressed Episode Selection, and it took me, Daisy, Cuckoo Loca, Clarabelle, Millie, and Melody to the said Episode Selection menu and just like the DVD cover the five episodes where
- Build Me a Building
- Humunga Truck
- Bubble Bites
- The New Guppy
- Rockin' Out
- and Black Friday
"Huh?" We gasped
"Why would Nickelodeon name an episode titled Black Friday?" I thought to myself
We are about to find out, after the first five episodes it moved on to the sixth and last episode, the warning came up but took place in the format as the credits
"Our adventures of Molly and Gil is on hold for now because, the following episode contains Black Friday related events, and contain things that are not suitable for viewers, such as blood, suicide, and bad words, please watch at your own risk, also it's time to continue this adventure with Molly and Gil."
"Yep, I knew this episode has something to do with Black Friday." I muttered nervously
the intro started but the logo is entirely grayscale and there was snow on top, the Molly and Gil skit was normal. Gil is shopping some fish while finding an expensive Gaming PC, with that Molly says "even though it's Black Friday, It's also time for Bubble Guppies"
the theme song from Seasons 5-6 played, but the background is covered in snow and there are stock piles everywhere, but the Guppies didn't care while filming the intro.
as it got to the title card, instead of the text being in the text in the credits, the text was in the St. Nicholas font reading "Black Friday" and instead of the fish saying the title card, a ghost says it instead.
as it got to the preschool, instead of the kids sitting around the circle like in every episode, they sit at the table eating dinner. Mr. Grouper Swam Into The Shot As He Sat Down.
"Good Morning Mr. Grouper" The Guppie Greeted
"Well Good Morning Everyone" Mr. Grouper Greeted Back "Today I am reminded I have much to be thankful for. But most of all for my friends. - Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone - Hear, hear."
as the Guppies, Bubble Puppy, Mr. Grouper, Bubble Kitty, except Zooli are gobbling up their food.
"Umm... guys?" Zooli respond
"What is it Zooli?" Oona asks while eating
"Shouldn't we not take our time and enjoy the thanksgiving feast?" Zooli asks
"Sorry Zooli, there's no time for that." Mr. Grouper answered
"Yeah! We have to get ready for Black Friday!" Molly said
"Black Friday? What's That?" Zooli Asked
"Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, traditionally marking the start of the Christmas shopping season. It is the busiest shopping day of the year, with many stores offering highly promoted sales at discounted prices and opening early, sometimes as early as midnight or even on Thanksgiving." Nonny Explained
"That's Right Nonny" Mr. Grouper Agreed
"C'mon, Zooli. Eat that can-shaped cranberry, We gotta get out there before all the good stuff Is gone." Goby Cheered
Zooli tries the cranberry but it just jiggled.
"Yeah, cranberry." the cranberry spoke
"I'm afraid I can't participate in the black friday this year." Zooli announced
Molly, Gil, Goby, Oona, Nonny, Deema, Bubble Puppy, Bubble Kitty, Mr. Grouper, and Mia stop eating the feast as their expressions change to shock.
"Say Whaaa?" Deema gasp
"Black Friday is the most important day of the year." Bubble Puppy spoke in the voice of Jimmy Neutron
The Guppies and Mr. Grouper are shocked when Bubble Puppy spoke in the actual show
"Bubble Puppy, how in Bubbletucky did you learn that?" Gil asks
"I ate some alphabet soup and it gave me the ability to speak." Bubble Puppy replied
"the Alphabet Soup gave me the ability to speak too." Bubble Kitty spoke in the voice of Daizy from Wow Wow Wubbzy
"The soup does the same thing to me, also." Mia spoke in the voice of 2009 Strawberry Shortcake
"Mia, how is speaking in the show?" Molly ask in shock
"Don't even ask Mols." Mia said to Molly "Let's tell Zooli what Black Friday is all about, Zooli, do you care for Black Friday at all?"
"No, I do not care for it." Zooli says frustratedly "The waiting in line, the elbows, the buying on necessary items."
"Black Friday is the one holiday everyone can agree on." Goby says to Zooli
"Because everyone loves a bargain!" Gil also says to Zooli
"Standing in long lines, so you can buy things for 70% off is the ultimate act of love. Zooli, are you forgetting that it is written." Deema Told Her "Half off, 70-inch flat-screens. A picture you'll love, at a price she'll love."
"That is just the advertisement for an inexpensive television." Zooli stated
"So beautiful." Bubble Puppy sighed
"I'm sorry guys, but I must Uncle Scrooge McDuck you all and say Bah Humbug." Zooli announce as tears well up her eyes.
it then cut to Zooli sobbing on her bed, but her sobs are real as if her voice actress Leah Janiver was very upset with something.
"I shall retire to the land of dreams to escape the nasty Black Friday." Zooli Said
I kinda feel bad for Zooli, then it shows Zooli sleeping in her bed, when suddenly two ghosts that look like the ghost of Black Friday Past appeared but it looks a lot like Molly and Gil.
"Huh? Who Are You Two?" Zooli Asked
"Who Are We?" Molly Asked "We Are The Ghosts Of Black Friday Past."
"Are those old timey pajamas or are they gowns?" Zooli asks
"These are old-timey pajamas" Gil Said "Now, We have something to show you. Come with Us"
