Synopsis

Junior and Cody go back in time to meet Abraham Lincoln!

Plot

The video begins on the Red Couch, where Junior asks Joseph and Cody what they want to do today. Junior begins roasting Cody as Joseph cheers him on, but after Cody roasts Junior, he gets upset and tells Cody to stop. They then watch TV and see Donald Trump talk about Haitians eating animals in Springfield, Ohio during a speech. Afterward, Junior asks his friends who they would vote for president, and Joseph states that he would vote for Kamala Harris because she is a safe bet. Junior argues that Trump is a better candidate because he got shot and lists off other presidents who got shot. Cody mentions James Garfield, but Junior and Joseph briefly mistake him for Garfield the cat. Junior then mentions that he likes Abraham Lincoln, and he and Cody debate on what Lincoln meant by "freeing the slaves". They decide to use Cody's time machine to ask Lincoln what he actually meant, and Cody brings Ken along with him. Joseph decides to stay on the red couch because of the racism in the 1800s. At Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865, Lincoln complains about the play to his wife, Mary, and takes a picture of the play to send to Andrew Johnson.

A worker tells Lincoln that he isn't allowed to take pictures, to which Lincoln contests. He then thinks about the concept of videos before a Black man walks up to him and thanks him for ending slavery. After, Lincoln complains about his seat, arguing that he should get front-row seats for ending slavery. A man then walks up to Lincoln and asks him and his wife what they want to eat, and Lincoln orders several sugary foods. Mary then reminds him that he is on a diet, and so Lincoln complains some more. To keep himself from becoming more bored, Lincoln takes out his record player and plays music before the man comes back with Lincoln's food. Lincoln spits out his popcorn and complains to the man about its poor taste. After 2 more attempts, Lincoln still believes that the popcorn is terrible and tells the man to leave. The man, whose name is John Wilkes Booth, shoots and kills Lincoln. Mary didn't hear John shoot Lincoln and believed that he was playing around, so she left. Junior and Cody finally travel back in time, but they are too late as Lincoln had already died, so they go back to their time. However, Cody accidentally forgot to bring Ken with him. Mary, who felt bad for Lincoln, mistook Ken for Lincoln and took him home.

Back at the red couch, Cody realizes that he left Ken back on Lincoln's dead body. Junior then notices that Ken is now on the five-dollar bill, and they both learn that Ken is now Abraham Lincoln. They ask Joseph about the situation, and Joseph believes that Junior is lying about Cody knowing Lincoln. He then explained that Lincoln is still alive and over 200 years old. Cody tells Junior that he wants to get Ken back, so he helps him get Ken. They go to the Ford Theatre, where Ken is watching The Lion King with a security guard. Junior distracts the guard by claiming that a sniper is on the roof, and he and Cody take back Ken. Junior tells Joseph not to tell anyone about it because he states that Lincoln wants privacy. After Joseph leaves, Junior tells Cody to fix the situation in a year. Suddenly, the news comes on and Mr. Goodman reports about Lincoln's disappearance. Cody decides to hide Ken from the world for a year before he can use his time machine again. As the video ends, Cody leaves to have sex with Ken.
