Get it out, all of it!
This is my castle. I don't want to see
a single Butterfly face. Move it!
Wait, wait, wait. What am I looking at here?
No Butterflies. Get that out of here.
Is that the last of it?
And with that, everything in my kingdom is in order.
Corncobs here. Get your corncobs.
No, no, not again!
These rats have eaten me out of house and home.
Right, they will do that.
Okay, a few kinks to work out,
but overall, the citizens of Mewni love me.
Hey, merch vendor,
how are the King Ludo T
Very, very, very not good.
Not good at all, Your Majesty.
What about the masks?
Those especially. Here, I'll show you.
Greetings, young man.
Might I interest you in a King Ludo mask?
- Run, baby, run!
Maybe it's the beard.
No, my lord, they just don't like you.
Oh, honey, look at all that great stuff.
Wow, we should load up.
Finally, someone with taste.
Let me just...
This will look great in our foyer.
How much for this handsome fella?
Oh, well...
It's not for sale. Come on.
You know what? That's it. Levitato!
There. All that terrible Butterfly stuff is gone.
Now, how about a nice King Ludo coffee mug,
- We don't want your stuff.
Yeah, we don't like you; nobody likes you, dude.
See what I'm dealing with here?
I am your king.
I command you to like me.
No.
Checkmate.
I'm bad at everything.
First rule of chess, Marco:
you must always protect your king.
- You're coming with me.
No way. I'm not going anywhere with you.
That's too bad.
It's urgent royal business.
I need you to command the people to like me.
Why would I do that? I don't even like you.
Shuffling about and talking to that wand hand of yours.
It's weird.
Fine. If you won't help me, then you can just rot in this cell.
Say good-bye to your freedom.
Come on, you stupid chain.
Ha ha!
Ho ho. Ludo.
Butter.
Change of plan.
I'm giving you 24 hours to figure out a way
to make the people of Mewni like me,
or I'll...
I'll levitato you into the sky forever.
Oh, I'm so scared.
Twenty-four hours.
Dude, Ludo's gone completely nuts.
You're telling me.
He left behind a perfectly good stick of butter.
Oh, I can... almost taste it.
River, now is no time for...
butter.
Yes, you're young and limber.
Reach out for it, boy.
Excellent! Ha ha!
Careful. Save some for the gruel, boy.
Nice work, Marco.
Here. Butter yourself up, and I'll see if I can
figure a way out of here.
Try the AC vent.
The dungeon has air conditioning?
It's a dungeon, not a torture chamber.
Nice. How are those shackles coming?
I don't think this is going to work.
River, did you eat the butter, River?
I used to be king.
Okay, okay, I'll go steal that key from Ludo,
and then we'll both get out of here.
You should just go. This isn't your fight.
Marco, listen to your king.
Whoa. The royal bedroom.
Ludo.
- Sh.
Quiet, dude. You're gonna get us caught.
Whoo, how'd I ever live without a solid gold toilet?
What the heck is going on here?
Since Ludo took over, we've been hiding in the vents.
When he's not around, we eat his royal leftovers.
And bathe in his royal bubble bath.
And sleep in his royal bed.
She was miming that we sleep in his royal bed.
LUDO: Those villagers are so ungrateful.
And end scene.
I don't get it.
How are these things not flying off the shelf?
It can't be for my lack of devilishly good looks.
I've got that whole levitatoing King River to do.
Being a king is simply exhausting.
Now's our chance.
If we can get that key from Ludo, we can free the king and--
Whoa. I'm gonna have to stop you right there.
You see, as artists,
our job is to comment on the world around us,
not "doing stuff."
A heavy burden, yes, but that's what it means
to be an artiste.
Oh, please. You, an artist?
- You're nothing but a jingle scribbler. - And you're a buffoon.
The buffoon is merely the facade
for my pointed social commentary.
That's what makes me a true artist.
Not as much of an artist as the mime.
Obviously. We all know the mime is an artistic genius.
- BOTH: Genius. - Guys, look.
I'm not a soldier either, but there's a time
when you have to get off the sidelines and get involved.
If the four of us work together,
we can save the true king of Mewni.
Now who's with me?
Now, see, I wouldn't use that hand gesture.
It's just been done to death.
And you never want to end a sentence with a pronoun.
You all make me sick.
No. I don't want to shave the corn.
What
Who's in my royal bedroom?
A guy in a mask.
We're here to...
entertain you, my lord.
What?
In the middle of the night?
Oh, yeah, because, uh...
And we wrote this song about... you.
You wrote a song about me?
♪ Ohhh, he... ♪
♪ Came on bird and spider ♪
♪ Uh, shone his grace upon us all ♪
I did do that, didn't I?

You guys are really good. What do you call your band?
Three Artists And A Buffoon.
Okay, that's it.
You're the buffoon.
You make fart jokes. I make art.
You call that noise art?
Your rhymes are whack!
Yeah, well, yours are hack.
Oh, good one.
- Hey, hey. - Hey!
Stop. You're all hacks,
except for the mime. She's a genius.
Get them!
I can't believe this.
I almost had the key.
Can't you two get along for just one minute?
We like not getting along.
Yeah. We're good at it.
Wow! You guys really had me fooled.
No, we really do hate each other.
Ah!
Marco!
Hey, king, we're busting you outta here.
What are you doing?
I won't abandon my people.
What?!
Sometimes, you've got to let the king go.
Time's up.
So, um... ready to...
Where's my key?
I must've dropped my key right in front of you,
and you didn't even notice. What?!
You could have been running free by now, prancing in the fields.
Must make you feel pretty silly.
Ha ha. Spider!
So are you going to force everyone to like me,
or is it levitato time?
You may have the crown, but you will never be king.
We'll see how you feel once you've been levitatoed.
No, River!
Come on!
Welcome to the reign of King Ludo.
This is what happens to anyone
who doesn't show respect and adoration for their king.
You have any last words?
People of Mewni, I am not afraid.
Blah blah blah. Levitato.
What are we gonna do now?
Now? We fight.
Uh, you know that's not mud, right?
