"Archibald's Next Big Thing"?
[gasps] Got to go!
[TV narrator]Take a trip to Hoofhöven, a place stuck in time.
Tucked away in the Meringue Mountains resides a community
where life moves at a slower pace.
Home of the famous Hoofhöven Candy Company.
And don't forget to ride the world's largest bobsled run, The Hüffer.
Come experience the calm and serenity of Hoofhöven.
[narrator]Archibald, aren't you going to do something?
Uh...
Earlier that week, Archibald was packing for a trip.
I can't believe I won a trip to Hoofhöven!
Needless to say, he was very excited.
Oh, you bet! I've been saving up candy wrappers for months!
Indeed he had.
Archibald had mailed thousands of wrappers,
hoping to be selected for Hoofhöven's annual Citizen Swap.
I bet millions enter.
Nivek, did we get any entries?
Ja! This is the most submissions we've ever had.
[rumbling]
But they're all from this funny-looking chicken.
I can't believe I won!
"You will spend one week in Hoofhöven and swap places with one of our citizens,
who will live in Crackridge."
Oh, I can't wait! Hoofhöven Dübler Delight?
-Bzz. -Eh, suit yourself. More for me.
Mm-mm-mm.
[retches]
Oh, right, the wrapper.
I'm gonna miss you guys. See you in a week!
-Take pictures! -Trust your instincts, brother!
Bring back candy!
Hoofhöven, here I come!
[bell dings]
Look! That must be our new houseguest for the week.
-Says his name is Gorbit. -Solid name.
Sounds like a warrior.
-[bell dings] -[screams]
-Uh... Welcome to Crack-- -[bell dings]
[screams]
[clears throat] The letter says, "Greetings.
Thanking to you for hosting me for Citizen Swap.
Please enjoy this customary Hoofhöven dance."
[oompah music]
"Please enjoy this hug."
"And please enjoy this cheese log."
[burps]
[Archibald] Wow. It looked different in the brochure.
-Welcome! -[gasps]
You must be Archibald. So nice to meet you.
Congratulations on winning the contest. I am Flurbin.
-Hiya, Flurbin. This is Bea. -Bzz-bzz!
[bell tolls]
Let's go! No time to waste! We have a schedule to keep.
-But can I get a picture-- -No! Time to go!
This is your chalet for the week.
-Ooh, cozy! -[bell tolls]
-Got to go! -[screams]
The founder of Hoofhöven,
Jürgen Von Höven.
Oh. Nice to meet you, Jürgen.
-He's made of wood. -Uh-huh.
-[bell tolls] -Got to go!
The world's longest bobsled run.
-The Hüffer. -Ooh!
Let's take a ride!
-No time for fun! -Wah!
-And here is... -[gasps]
[Archibald] The Hoofhöven Candy Company!
[bell tolls]
-[cheery music] -I've had dreams about this place.
Sadly, candy sales have slowed over the years.
Unless something changes, we may have to close.
-What? -But don't you worry! We're hopeful that--
-[bell tolls] -[yelling]
The clock! Time to make the candy!
You mean I get to help make the candy?
[Sage] When it comes to knots,
I prefer the clove hitch over the figure-eight double,
but to each their own.
-[doorbell rings] -[screams]
This is gonna get old.
Already has.
[gasps]
Wow!
Here, the candy starts as a liquid.
Please don't do that.
[grunts]
Sorry.
Then the candy is transformed into goo.
Oh! Hi, Straf. How's the family?
Still eating the clothes off my back, is I right?
[bleats]
Then to your workstation,
the most important part of the candy-making process.
Ooh!
When the gooey candy arrives,
you just hit it with a blast of super-cold air to harden it.
You got it?
Yep, got it.
♪ I'm making candy ♪
♪ Making candy ♪
♪ I'm making candy ♪
Ooh-hoo-hoo! This is so much fun!
Am I right, everyone?
Anyone?
Nope? Just me, then?
-OK. -[bell tolls]
[voice on PA] Lunchtime!
Huh?
-[bell tolls] -Back to work!
-[bell tolls] -Time to exercise!
[narrator] Unfortunately,
the village of Hoofhöven was so concerned with keeping up with the clock
and staying on schedule, that there wasn't much time for anything else.
-[bell tolls] -[voice over PA] Naptime!
[snoring]
-[bell tolls] -Back to work!
[snoring]
-[bell tolls] -Go home!
Whoo! It's quitting time!
So, what do you Hoofhövians like to do when you're not making candy?
You know, for fun?
Oh! I like to knit.
Interesting.
And I play the spoons!
But I lost one and I never have time to look for it,
so now I just play... spoon.
-That looks... fun. -[bell tolls]
Well, it's just you and me, Bea. I guess we're on our own.
-[bell tolls] -[cheery music]
Or are we?
[screaming]
[Loy] I miss Archibald.
[brothers] Yeah.
♪ Hoofhöven it! Hoofhöven it! ♪
♪ Never gonna quit! Never gonna quit! ♪
♪ Hoof! Hoof! Hoof! ♪
♪ Hoofhöven! Ain't gonna quit! ♪
[sighs] Now, that was fun!
[Bea] Bzz-bzz!
-[bell tolls] -[cheery music]
-[horn honking] -[mimics rooster crowing]
[neighbor] Oh, enough already!
-[crowing continues] -[neighbors yelling]
[alarm clock ringing]
[yawns]
Time to make the candy!
-Ooh! It's cold! -[screams]
Don't get me wrong, these lederhosen are stylish,
but I miss my...
sweater?
Oh, boy.
Archibald, it's just terrible!
The clock stopped last night, and the candy is in danger!
Oh, no!
[screaming]
-What time is it? -[snoring]
Without the clock to guide them, the citizens didn't know what to do.
[snoring]
[truck beeping]
Oh, no! The delivery truck is here!
We don't have any candy to send!
-We're doomed! -[gasps]
Oh, no, no, no!
Bea, we got to save this candy!
[grunting continues]
-[citizens screaming] -[siren wailing]
[screaming continues]
Archibald, aren't you going to do something?
Uh...
Bzz! Bzz-bzz-bzz!
[Archibald gasps] The bobsled! That's it!
Thanks, Bea. [grunts]
[sighs] Just need to get to that frozen lake to freeze this candy.
Onwards!
-Sorry, Bea. Little push? -[Bea sighs]
[grunting]
Bzz!
Huh. I thought this would be...
[yells] ...faster!
[screaming]
[laughs]
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Whoo! Almost there!
Although Archibald was having the ride of his life...
I'm having the ride of my life!
-...he would never reach the lake. -What?
Gah!
Well, that was unexpected.
[engine idling]
Flurbin and the workers had no choice but to send the unfinished "goo candy"
from the bobsled run and hope for the best.
I'll uh... I'll be in my chalet, if you need me.
Well, Gorbit, have a nice trip back to--
-Hoofhöven? -What?
[clears throat]
Yes, I want to thank you for your generous hospitality during my stay,
and allow me to apologize for my behavior.
I was not accustomed to the many beeps and alarms within Crackridge.
I typically don't behave in such a manner.
Anyhoo, please enjoy this hug.
-[bell dings] -[screams]
He does give a good hug.
[both snoring]
-[bellowing in distance] -Huh? What... What is that?
-[crowd cheering] -[gasps]
-[horn bellows] -[giggling]
[bell chimes]
[laughs]
Archibald!
Your bobsled taffy candy was a huge hit!
Bobsled taffy candy?
"Hoofhöven Stretch 'o' Fun Taffy."
It's so much chewier and fun to eat! We can't thank you enough.
[chuckles] You're welcome?
And one more thing.
Since I had the time, I knitted you a new sweater.
I know it was your sweater that broke the clock,
but that will be our little secret.
Thank you!
Also, is it OK if I keep the lederhosen?
Ow!
[TV narrator]Take a trip to Hoofhöven, a place stuck in time.
Tucked away in the Meringue Mountains resides a community
where life moves at a slower pace.
Home of the famous Hoofhöven Candy Company.
And don't forget to ride the world's longest bobsled run,
The Hüffer.
-Come experience the calm, the serenity... -[bell chimes]
...and the fun of Hoofhöven.
[citizens cheering]
Say "Hoofhöven"!
[all] Hoofhöven!
[screams]
Oh, I sure can't wait to go back.
I'm gonna start saving wrappers right now!
Ooh, delicious!
We have some serious weather on its way.
Stay tuned.
But this TV doesn't tune.
[narrator]Archibald was helping Cousin Ashley
with one of his brand-new business projects.
You see, Archibald, on a nice hot day like today, you know what people really want?
-Ice cream? -Salad.
-Oh. -On a cone.
Oh.
Cousin Ashley's Salad Cones.
Get in the zone with a salad cone!
I want to get in the zone.
Everybody wants to get in the zone! That's why I need your help.
Grab that there salad scooper.
You always have the best business ideas, Cousin Ashley.
-"Best" may not be the best word. -Huh?
In fact, Cousin Ashley had been searching for his next big thing for years.
There was Cousin Ashley's Triangle-Shaped Dance Hoops...
Cousin Ashley's Party Parachutes...
and, who could forget...
[screams]
...Cousin Ashley's Hug-Me Cactus.
Hoo-wee! You smell that, Archibald?
That's the smell of money.
[sniffs] Kind of smells like burning. [screams]
Not my salad scooper! Now, stand back! I got this!
Ranch dressing. Delicious.
[Ashley] Our first order, Archibald:
one Cobb salad on a caramel crunch cone.
Yeah, it's definitely broken.
How can I scoop with a scooper that doesn't scoop?
Oh. Let's try this. Put this here and then we can try this.
[chuckles]
OK, now... Whoo!
[panting and laughing]
Whoa! I'm working up a sweat!
-[sighs] Order up! -Cancel that order, little buddy.
The customer said he wanted literally anything else
besides a salad on a cone, like ice cream.
That's just weird.
-[groans] -It's OK, Cousin Ashley.
Maybe we can scoop something else.
Ooh! Ah! Ah!
Yeah! Uh-oh!
Archibald! How in the bunion did you catch that?
That's my box of heavy yet heavenly fruitcakes!
I don't know.
Hey, you think that crazy doohickey made you stronger?
I don't know what a doohickey is, but, yeah, maybe!
Bea, man the shack.
-We got to field-test this. -Bzz-bzz.
[door slams]
[knuckles crack]
[grunting]
[grunts]
Hot tamale!
[grunts]
Do my eyes deceive me?
I don't know, it looks kind of heavy.
-So did those other things. -Good point. Let's give it a shot!
[grunting]
Jumping Jehoshaphat!
What happened?
I think you just made the best exercise device ever,
and it's gonna make me dang rich!
We is quitting the salad cone business, Archibald!
OK, I quit!
I mean, I'm in!
And now temperatures are dropping faster than a greased watermelon.
There's also a tiny chance of rain, so keep those umbrellas on standby.
All right, everybody, in three,
two...
-[music] -[applause]
Hey, y'all!
My name is Cousin Ashley,
and I'm here to sell you the workout device of your dreams,
the Gator Spinner Max!
-Face the facts: You need a Spinner Max! -[audience gasps]
[murmuring]
You see, the Gator Spinner Max comes equipped with these here strong,
state-of-the-art power pedals...
which are also detachable,
for storage and whatnot.
Now, these pedals give persistent, non-existent resistance.
How does that doohickey even work?
Now, I'm sure you're wondering, "How does this doohickey even work?"
Yes, I am!
Well, allow me to introduce you to my first satisfied customer,
Archibald Strutter!
[applause]
[chuckles sheepishly]
Where's Archibald?
Bzz-bzz-bzz.
Sorry, Bea.
I had to run home to get an extra sweater. It's getting chilly.
-Bzz-bzz! -Oh, I'm on?
On what?
OK, buddy, all of Crackridge is watching, so don't mess up!
-What? -[applause]
Hello.
You see, Archibald wasn't always the specimen you see today.
Here's a picture of how he looked before using the Gator Spinner.
-Oh, that's a significant difference! -He's totally ripped!
Uh-huh. And now, for a live demonstration
of the Gator Spinner Max, take it away, Archibald!
Uh...
Just read the cue cards!
"If you want to get strong like me,
use the Gator Spinner Max.
Prepare yourself for the best... extra fries?"
Exercise!
Exercise.
Tell them they will get a strong back!
Uh... You'll get strong, or your money back!
-Say what now? -I'll take one!
-Sign me up! -Me, too!
-Take my money! -That's what I'm talking about!
You did it, Archibald!
The Gator Spinner Max is gonna be a hit!
Oh, great! I'd like to throw up now.
Enjoy your new muscles!
Oh! Enjoy getting even more muscles.
I'll have what he's having.
-Excuse me, sir, might you be Ashley? -That's Cousin Ashley, friend.
Well, I'm rather interested in purchasing your Gator Spinners.
Join the club, amigo.
Look, I'll cut you a deal. I can get you two for the price of three.
You misunderstand me.
I would like to purchase your entire company for a rather handsome sum.
If you want to buy my company, you're gonna need a boatload of money.
-[ship horn blares] -[businessman] You were saying?
Whoa! Sold!
I want one!
-I'll take ten! -I'll take five!
Do you take installment plans?
On second thought,
something tells me this business is worth even more than a boatload of money.
[cash register dinging]
Have fun getting strong.
Whoo! We is clean out!
There's a Gator Spinner in every home in Crackridge,
all thanks to you, Archibald.
Aw! Happy to help!
Cousin Ashley's gonna get one of them fancy massage chairs.
OK.
[grunting]
That's weird. I thought I was super strong.
-Are you sure? -Yeah.
I lifted that barbell, and it was...
[narrator] ...an inflatable toy.
-[wind gusts] -[barbell squeaks]
[Archibald] But the piano was...
[narrator] ...a detailed cardboard cutout.
[Archibald] That means the car was...
[narrator]...being lifted by a perfectly timed tow truck.
So it was...
...an incredible coincidence.
I'm a weakling!
[gasps] I got to tell Cousin Ashley!
[Ashley] Very funny, Archibald.
[chuckles] I know.
I'm not joking, though.
What about when you lifted my box of heavy yet heavenly fruitcakes?
Oh, no!
My compliments. [burps]
If that mouse ate the fruit cakes, then the box was never heavy,
which means I was never strong!
Hey, don't be so hard on yourself.
You didn't know.
Besides, if the doohickey wasn't working,
I'd have an angry mob banging on my door any second.
[crickets chirping]
You see?
Now, if you'll excuse me, my new massage chair is calling my name.
-[rumbling] -[moaning]
By now, Archibald was feeling pretty down.
[sighs] Yeah, feeling pretty...
down.
[gasps] Snow-nado!
-Massage. -[banging on door]
[gasps]
Phew! I thought there was an angry mob at my door.
[voice] Thereis an angry mob at your door!
[mob yelling]
We want our money back!
OK, OK. Calm down, folks.
Not to worry.
Tell you what, I'll sell you one for the price of two!
[mob] What?
Or how about a refund?
[cheering]
That's what I want!
Well, there you go, folks. All is well.
No, not my massage chair!
[sighs and gasps]
Sorry to hear about the recent turn of events, Cousin Ashley,
but I have good news: I'm still interested in buying your company.
Really? For a boatload of money?
Absolutely! Although the size of the boat has decreased substantially.
[whistle]
Do we have a deal?
Ten bucks?
You got a deal, buddy!
Wendi Powers with breaking news.
A cold front is sweeping in from the Meringue Mountains
that yours truly has named "Snow-nado."
More to come. Don't go anywhere.
Hey, pal! She told us not to go anywhere!
[Bea shivering]
Huh?
Look at all this snow! We'll never get in!
I guess it could be worse. I could have to go to the...
Yep, I got to go to the bathroom.
Oh, think about something else! Think about something else!
-Bzz-bzz! -Good idea, Bea!
It's the perfect distraction!
[chuckles]
And most residents have been unable to get into their homes.
It appears Crackridge was completely unprepared for Snow-nado.
Carl! Camera on me! What is that chicken up to?
We're here with Archibald Strutter,
who just might have the fix for the freeze.
I do?
-Who did all that? -Bzz-bzz!
Oh, I guess I did, with this!
[chuckling] Whoo!
-Whoa! -That is impressive!
[Wendi] Amazing!
And how did you discover that this Gator Spinner Max could be used like this?
At first I thought this doohickey made me strong, but then I realized it did not,
and I felt bad, so then I walked home in the snow,
uphill, both ways, and got stuck here.
If things couldn't get worse, I had to get in the house
because I needed to go... [gasps]
[toilet flushing]
You heard it here first, folks.
The Gator Spinner Max is the device for plowing snow.
Story developing. Don't move a muscle!
-I'm talking to you, Lizard. -OK, Wendi.
Hi, folks. Are you stuck in the snow?
Yes.
Do you have approximately 19.99 in your pocket?
-Yes! -No.
Then turn around.
-[cheering] -Yeah!
Look, Bea! They're using the Gator Spinners to plow the snow!
Huh! I guess those things were useful after all.
Bzz.
The fella bought the rest of my Gator Spinners for a whopping $10!
He even threw in this little toy boat! Can you believe it?
Yeah, I can. So, what are you gonna do next?
I'm on to a new idea.
Sure-fire hit. You in?
Oh, definitely! What are we selling?
-[Ashley] Pita Pocket Socks! -[Archibald] Wow, these are comfy.
[munching] And delicious!
