[dramatic music playing]

[flushes]

[bell dings]

[all laughing]

[Beast Boy] Death Toilet!

Man, that was the best
Death Toilet yet.

I give it four
out of five flushes.

Are you kidding me?
That movie was garbage.

It was riddled with plot holes.

You mean the holes that make
the cars go the bumpety bump?

No, not potholes.

Plot holes.

They're inconsistencies
that can destroy
a good adventure.

- [snake hisses]
- Ow!

Come on, dude.

Plot holes aren't
that big a deal.

Tons of great movies have 'em.

Yeah. Like in
Lord of the Rings.

They could have just flown
those giant eagles
to Mount Doom

instead of walking there.

Or in Armageddon,

they taught drillers
to become astronauts

when it would have been
way easier to teach
astronauts to drill.

Or in Independence Day,
they uploaded a virus

onto an alien spaceship
using a computer from 1996.

'96, y'all.

[buzzing and beeping]

I have seen all of the
pictures of the motion,

and not once did I notice
these holes of the plot.

That's because you were
distracted by the big,
flashy special effects.

- [fireworks bursting]
- [all exclaiming in awe]

- Titans!
- [all gasp]

Ah, see how
distracted you were?

Yeah. Those special effects
were amazing, yo.

Sure, but Hollywood relies
too heavily on them

to cover up potholes.

Fine with me.

Those plot hole adventures
look like a lot of fun.

I wish we could go on
the adventure that has
the holes of the plot.

Well, I can conjure one
using my spell book.

But first, we'll need to

fill in some missing details.

Sounds good, Mama.

Ooh! I love this game.

Oh, yeah. Let's plug in
some funny words.

Hold on there, Titans.

We need to be careful.

Putting in a bunch
of random words

could cause
a serious plot hole.

Which is why we should use
logic to craft this adventure.

No way, man. No logic, no how.

It will ruin all of the fun.

Yeah, We wants this adventure
to be crazy, yo.

[Robin groans]

Now, let's fill in those blanks
and get this adventure started.

Okay. I'm gonna need
a body part.

[gasps] The stomach!

A household item.

A cactus!

A powerful person.

President Abraham Lincoln.

Something dumb.

- Robin's face.
- What?

A useful skill.

The pottery making.

And finally, a celebrity.

- Scott Menville.
- Who?

Hmm. Menville. Okay.

All the blanks
have been filled in.

[ethereal whooshing]

Whoa. What's happening?

Our adventure has started.

[belches]

Ahh! Our home has been
turned into a giant stomach.

[giggles] This was the genius
of my creativity.

I likes it.

It shows that we've got guts.

And that we're hungry
for adventure. [laughs]

Plus, it's way cooler
than living in some
big dumb letter.

But we've had hundreds
of adventures,

and the Tower has never once
looked like this.

It's a plot hole!

[dramatic music playing]

[chirping in panic, squawks]

Whoa! It's like
an actual thing?

Yes, it's a thing!

Calm down, Robin.
It's just a tiny one.

It's not gonna hurt nobody.

[alarm blaring]

Crime alert. A criminal
mastermind is plotting

something on the outskirts
of the city.

Then what are we waiting for?

Let's go stop that crime, yo.

To the T-car!

[flushing]

[burps]

[all screaming]

[all grunt]

The T-car is now a cactus?

Yeah, dude. Hop on. [grunts]

[screaming]

[all] Ow!

[Robin screaming]

- [horns honking]
- [Robin groaning]

This is a terrible idea.

No, it ain't. Ow!

It's exciting
and adventurous. Ow!

Yeah. We can pass out from
the pain at any moment. Ow!

But we have dozens
of other vehicles

we could have taken.

We are creating
another plot hole.

[dramatic music plays]

- [engine whirring]
- [pilot screaming]

If this adventure doesn't
start making sense soon,

these holes could
really add up.

Ahhh!

Evil fortress dead ahead.

[Starfire] It looks to be
the well-protected.

Not from this bad boy.
Needle blast!

[all] Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

We made it!

And you thought the cactus
didn't make any sense.

- [footsteps and cane tapping]
- Someone's coming, yo.

Stand ready, Titans.

[Titans] President
Abraham Lincoln?

Hail to the Chief!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Time out.

Abraham Lincoln is our nation's
most celebrated leader.

Not some crazed supervillain.

We know, Robin.

That's what makes it so absurd.

No. What it makes
is another plot hole.

Enough!

Four minutes
and seven seconds ago,

I began developing
a living weapon.

And now, I bring forth
that weapon, which I call...

[blows horn]

[rumbling]

[roaring]

[Abraham] Hydra-Bin!

Oh, snap.

So that's how my Robin idea
got worked into this adventure.

[laughs] Nice.

It's not nice.

A Hydra-Bin isn't even
a real thing.

Maybe not. But I think
that monster
is super dope, yo.

Oh-h*. And it is far more
handsome than our own Robin.

[belching]

[giggles]

[shivers] Are you kidding me?

That thing is
a horrifying monster.

Yeah, that's right, it is.

And I'm gonna use it
to destroy the United States

in order to form
a more perfect union.

Not if we can help it.

Titans, go!

[Titans yelling]

[Titans] Ow! Ow! Ow!

[Titans groaning]

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've got a nation to rebuild.

[roars]

[Raven groans]

How's we gonna stop that guy?

I have the idea.

Pottery making?

Indeed!

And today we shall be making
the happy little vases.

But making pottery isn't going
to help us take down
Abraham Lincoln.

It's just another random
word choice that doesn't
make any sense.

[pot shatters]

Never underestimate
the importance of
the pottery, Robin.

And besides, I've always
wanted to learn
how to make a pretty vase.

Mm-hmm. I hear
it's very therapeutic.

But we're running out of time.

Abe is attacking the city.

Then you better sit
your butt down and gets
to making that pottery, fool.

Fine. Let's just
get this over with.

[serene instrumental
music playing]

[Titans screaming]

[Robin screaming]

[roaring]

[Robin] You're finished, Abe.

'Cause we gots the power
of pottery on our side.

Well, that didn't work.

See? You can't just plug
random words into an adventure!

[Titans scream, grunt]

No one can stop me
from building my new land.

Face it, Titans.

If we're going to stop
Honest Abe,
we're gonna need help.

Yo, check it out.

- Is it Batman?
- Or the Superman?

No. It's...

Scott Menville.

[eagle screeches]

[all cheering]

[Cyborg] He's so dreamy.

Oh, yeah! Scott Menville
to the rescue, yo.

But how is an actor
going to save the day?

It doesn't make any sense.

Who the cares?

We just want to see the Scott
fight the monster.

Go get 'em, Scott!

Scott Menville!

Menville!

Menville!

[upbeat R music playing]

Oh, yeah! You go,
Scott Menville!

[Hydra-Bin grunting]

[Abraham screaming]

[all] Scott, Scott, Scott,
Scott, Scott.

Stop cheering for him.

Scott's just creating
another plot hole.

[ethereal whooshing]

Scott Menville!

What's going on?

Exactly what I feared.

We've created
too many plot holes,

and now they're destroying
the adventure.

[all screaming]

Grab onto something!

[Hydra-Bin screeching]

[Abraham grunting]

I hold this cape
to be self-evident

that it will take more than
a plot hole to get rid of me.

Get lost, Abe!

[Abraham screaming]

That plot hole is
destroying everything!

See, Titans?

This is what happens
when you don't use logic.

Plugging in the nonsense words
is no way to craft
an adventure!

We need to find something
that can cover up that hole.

If only we had some
big, flashy special effects.

That's it! Raven,
use your spell book.

Azarath Metrion Zinthos!

[screeching]

[heroic music plays]

- Special effects!
- [all cheering]

Oh, yeah. We successfully
covered up the plot hole, yo.

But is it not still there?

Yeah, but no one's gonna notice
after all that excitement.

That's right.

Covering up a terrible
plot hole adventure
with special effects

is the Hollywood way.
