Plot[]
The video starts with Jeffy loudly smacking his diaper. Marvin tells him to stop as Rose comes in and says her dad's coming for Thanksgiving. Marvin asks about her mom, but Rose says she can't make it because she's sick. Rose says her dad said he's excited for all the Thanksgiving food. Jeffy asks what they're going to eat for Thanksgiving. Marvin lists Turkey, Mac and Cheese, and green bean casserole. Jeffy screams, so Marvin asks why he did that. Jeffy says he hates green beans and he knows it, but Marvin says it's a green bean casserole and he doesn't know there's green beans in it. Jeffy then makes a puke sound, saying that's what anything with green beans in it are. Marvin says it's not that; it's good and yummy as he tells Jeffy to be quiet, but Jeffy tells him to hush when he's talking to him. Marvin then asks if everyone can shut up because they have to watch the president pardon a turkey as the video cuts to Donald Trump, pardoning a turkey named Bill. After this, Rose says she thinks they should pardon all turkeys for Thanksgiving because she thinks it's cruel that they eat them, but Jeffy mocks her and tells her to shut up and eat. Rose says she's going to tell him that about the green bean casserole. Jeffy tells Marvin to hold him back because he's about to beat her as Jeffy goes to beat up Rose, but Marvin holds him back as he then tells everyone to stop because there's a commercial on the TV. The video then cuts to the commercial where Steve Staleburger is holding a contest to see who can make the best looking and tasting Thanksgiving dinner, which the best Thanksgiving dinner wins $10 million. After the commercial. Marvin gets shocked, saying he has to tell Chef Pee Pee as he leaves, saying they have to enter the contest. Jeffy takes his helmet off and asks Rose what she said about making him eat green bean casserole as the video cuts to the Displate sponsor segment. After the Displate sponsor segment, Chef Pee Pee asks himself how he did it as he says he outdid himself again for Thanksgiving and points out the turkey, pecan pie, and Mac and Cheese. Marvin is then heard, yelling "CHEF PEE PEE!", which Chef Pee Pee says "What do you want Junior?" as Marvin comes in. Chef Pee Pee apologizes, saying he sounds like Junior, and he could close his eyes and think he's Junior. Marvin looks and asks if he already have Thanksgiving dinner set up as he says it isn't until tomorrow. Chef Pee Pee says he knows but decided to cook Thanksgiving dinner a day earlier as he says he's not going to be stressed this year as he'll actually relax. Marvin says it looks amazing and asks if he heard about the contest as he says whoever has the best Thanksgiving dinner and best tasting Thanksgiving dinner wins $10 million. Chef Pee Pee gets shocked and asks what contest that is. Marvin says he saw it on the commercial and what they're going to do is he's going to enter them into the contest because he outdid himself. Chef Pee Pee says he appreciates it and he does need some money because he wants to quit his job. Marvin says he's going to enter in the competition and tells Chef Pee Pee to not touch the food and not let anyone touch the food. Chef Pee Pee says he's not going to touch the food and no one's going to touch it as he says that's the point of him cooking a day earlier. Marvin suggests sleeping next to it so he can make sure no one touches it as he says they're going to win. Chef Pee Pee says he got him as Marvin leaves while Chef Pee Pee says no one's going to touch the turkey. Marvin goes on the Red Couch while Rose says Jeffy gave her a "noogie" and messed up her hair. Marvin then tells everyone that Chef Pee Pee already finished Thanksgiving dinner. Rose asks if he already did a day early. Marvin confirms and says he took a picture as he shows the picture. Marvin asks if it's a nice picture as he says he already texted it to the "Thanksgiving dinner competition committee" and he got a head start, meaning they could get first place, but then says they're calling him as he answers. Steve picks up, saying he received his text message and that's a good-looking Thanksgiving dinner he has. Marvin thanks him as Steve says he's going to be coming in the morning to taste it, but it might be cold as he asks if he can put it in the microwave for him. Marvin says they'll do that and asks if he thinks they'll win. Steve says he's the only person right now to actually submit a Thanksgiving dinner, meaning he's in first place and as long as it stays the way it is in the picture, he thinks he's going to win. Marvin thanks Steve and hangs up as he tells everyone that Steve said they're in first place and so far, they're going to win as he then tells everyone to go to sleep so they can wake up and win the money as everyone then falls asleep. The video then cuts to Chef Pee Pee, saying he's going to stay up all night and make sure no one touches his Thanksgiving dinner. Chef Pee Pee says he's getting tired as he then falls asleep. Outside, The Grinch sniffs, saying he smells Thanksgiving dinner and asks if he should stop by and get a bite as he goes to the house and goes inside. At the dining room, The Grinch says the food looks delicious and asks Chef Pee Pee if he minds that he grabs a plate as he takes a plate and takes some food as he puts them in a sack and then leaves, saying he's one happy pilgrim. The video then cuts to his house, where The Grinch's Mom asks The Grinch what took him so long. The Grinch says he was slaving over someone else's table as he pushes some stuff off the table. The Grinch's Mom says his house is too clean and asks if he taught him to make his house nice and messy before he has guests over. The Grinch says it was messy, but not to worry about it as he puts his sack on the table, telling her to focus on the feast as he then unloads the sack.
The Grinch's Mom asks where's the roast beast. The Grinch says there's no roast beast; it's Thanksgiving turkey, so The Grinch's Mom asks where's the Who-Hash. The Grinch says there's no Who-Hash either and he can never make anyone happy as the video cuts to Chef Pee Pee waking up and saying "Happy Thanksgiving!" as he sees what happened. Chef Pee Pee screams, asking what happened to his Thanksgiving dinner as Marvin then comes in and asks what's wrong. Chef Pee Pee points and screams, so Marvin looks as he too screams. Marvin asks where's all the food. Chef Pee Pee says he doesn't know as Marvin says he's supposed to keep his eye on it. Chef Pee Pee says he knows, but he fell asleep as Marvin then asks who stole the food as the guy's going to be here any minute as it's Thanksgiving. Chef Pee Pee says he knows as he says he was supposed to make it through 8 hours, but he was tired as Marvin then leaves, saying he's calling the cops. The video then cuts to Brooklyn T. Guy petting Christopher Walkitten as Karen comes in, saying "Happy Thanksgiving!" and tells Brooklyn Guy that she decided to make him a lasagna since he liked her Halloween lasagna. Brooklyn Guy says he didn't and it's Thanksgiving, meaning it's supposed to be turkey. Karen says the stores were all out of turkey, but Brooklyn Guy says they would have some if she shopped before Thanksgiving. Karen then says she got his favorite seasonings: Paprika and Garlic Powder. Brooklyn Guy sarcastically says "Oh yeah, my favorite" as he then says his phone's ringing. Brooklyn Guy picks up and it's Marvin asking if this is the cops. Brooklyn Guy says he's supposed to call 911, not his personal phone, but Marvin asks if he's a cop. Brooklyn Guy confirms, so Marvin tells him to come over as they've been robbed. Brooklyn Guy says he'll be there as he hangs up and tells Karen that he has a police call to respond to. Karen says it's Thanksgiving. Brooklyn Guy says he know but it's an emergency as he claims that someone stole one of the Macy's Thanksgiving parade balloons. Karen gets shocked and asks which one, so Brooklyn Guy says Goku as he leaves, saying he really has to go while Karen tells Christopher Walkitten to have some lasagna, only for him to try to throw up. The video then cuts to Brooklyn Guy, asking if somebody called the cops as he wishes Marvin and Chef Pee Pee a Happy Thanksgiving, but then says "Maybe Sad Thanksgiving" as he says he was having a sad Thanksgiving until he called because his wife made lasagna instead of turkey. Marvin says someone robbed them as they stole their entire Thanksgiving dinner while Chef Pee Pee says he cooked it the whole day. Brooklyn Guy asks who would steal their Thanksgiving dinner. Marvin says that's what they want to know and asks if there's anyone that he know who would steal a Thanksgiving dinner because they entered their dinner into a $10 million Thanksgiving dinner contest. Brooklyn Guy says he guess the stakes were high as Marvin asks if he can help them, so Brooklyn Guy asks if he has a doorbell camera. Marvin confirms, so Brooklyn Guy says it solves most problems as it'll show who came and stole the dinner. Marvin says to let him grab his phone as he gets it out and shows Brooklyn Guy the doorbell camera footage. After seeing the footage, Marvin asks how they get their Thanksgiving dinner back from him. Brooklyn Guy says he doesn't want to get it back as he took it to his lair on top of Mount Crumpit and it's going to be nasty. Marvin asks where they're going to get a whole Thanksgiving dinner within a few hours as the guy will be here any minute. Brooklyn Guy says his wife said the turkeys are sold out, but Marvin says there has to be another turkey. Brooklyn Guy says the only turkey left is the one the president pardoned, so Marvin says to go get it and kill it, but Brooklyn Guy says it's illegal to kill a pardoned turkey. Brooklyn Guy then says he doesn't care and to go get them as they then leave. The video then cuts to Marvin, asking Brooklyn Guy why they're at a military base. Brooklyn Guy says it's because all pardoned turkeys go on Air Force One and fly to Turkey. Marvin asks if he means the county. Brooklyn Guy says yeah and it's where turkeys go when they retire and claims that's why it's called Turkey. Chief then asks Brooklyn Guy what's he doing here as it's Thanksgiving and if he should be home with family. Brooklyn Guy says he hates his family and he came to escort the turkey onto the plane, but Brooklyn Guy says he's not scheduled for that; that's Susan's job as Susan Smith comes in, saying "Right here Sir". Marvin says to tell Susan they'll do it, but Brooklyn Guy says he doesn't get it as he says she's a real "ass kisser" and "ass licker", which Brooklyn Guy says to not ask him how he know as that surprised him. Brooklyn Guy then says she's not going to fall for that and the only way it'll work and if he charmed her and get her to bed. Marvin asks why, so Brooklyn Guy says he's been with her, Chief's been with her, and the turkey's probably been with her as he says he can do it and distract her. Marvin then distracts Susan, which ends up working as Brooklyn Guy tells Chief that he's ready to take the turkey. Chief says sure since Susan can't do it, so Brooklyn Guy tells Bill to come on as they then leave. At the kitchen, Chef Pee Pee says the mashed potatoes, green beans and dressed are good as he asks where's the turkey as Brooklyn Guy comes in, saying he's got the turkey. Chef Pee Pee gets excited but then asks if that's a boarding pass. Brooklyn Guy says to not worry about that and cook him with it on as Marvin comes in, saying he's here. Brooklyn Guy asks Marvin if she licked his ass. Marvin confirms as Brooklyn Guy tells Marvin to hold the turkey.
Marvin asks why he has to hold it, which Chef Pee Pee gets a knife as he says he's going to behead him, but Marvin says that's sad. Brooklyn Guy tells him to be man, but he can't look though as Chef Pee Pee then beheads the turkey. Marvin says there's blood everywhere, but Brooklyn Guy says it's ok. Marvin says he's still alive, but Brooklyn Guy says to hold it as Marvin then says to put it in the oven. Chef Pee Pee does so as he then says that the turkey is in the oven. Marvin says they might pull it off as the doorbell then rings, which Marvin says that might be the guy and he doesn't know what to do. Chef Pee Pee panics as Marvin says he's going to stall him while they try to cook it faster as he then leaves. At the front door, Steve says it's 4 AM and he's ready to eat some turkey. Marvin says he's earlier then he thought and they just put the food in the microwave to heat it up for him. Steve says he doesn't have time to wait around as he has other houses to go to, but Marvin says he said to microwave it and they heard the doorbell, so they put it in the microwave; he just has to wait 5 minutes. Steve says he doesn't know and he might count it as a forfeit as a Alien then appears. Steve asks if that's an alien. Marvin says that's his father-in-law as The Alien says he's from Zablorbenclocken. Steve asks what's going on, so Marvin says he's married to a human, but she has an alien dad as he suggests they talk while he grabs the food. Steve asks The Alien how he eats. The Alien says with his mouth as the video cuts to Marvin, saying he's here. Brooklyn Guy asks who was at the door, so Marvin says the guy, and he said he's ready to try the food as he then asks if the turkey's ready. Chef Pee Pee says he put it on broil and it's still not ready as he opens the oven door, but Marvin says it looks ready. Chef Pee Pee says it's still raw, which Marvin says it would be the second thing he did raw today, so Brooklyn Guy asks if he didn't wear protection. Marvin says no and they went to her room, but Brooklyn Guy says she's a "skank" and he would be worried as Marvin then says to take all the food to the dining table as he leaves, saying they have to do it. The video then cuts to Steve, asking The Alien what's space like. The Alien says it's dark, cold, and there's stars as Marvin then shows up, saying all the food is warm, set up, and looks perfect as he then invites them in. Steve says he's ready as he and The Alien then come in. At the dining room, Marvin presents the food, but Steve says it doesn't look like the picture at all. Marvin says it's because when they heard the doorbell ring, they panicked and microwaved everything as he then says to not rate it based on how it looks now; rate it on the tastes now. Steve says ok as he takes the first bite, saying it's not bad as he then gets some mashed potatoes. Steve likes it, saying "Okay!" as he gets to the green bean casserole, where he says "all right!". Steve then finally gets to the turkey, which Marvin says it's the moment of truth as Steve tastes the turkey and says it tastes like "asshole". Marvin says "Wait, what!?" as Steve asks what he seasoned it with. Chef Pee Pee says salt and pepper as Steve then says it's the worst turkey he's ever had, he gives him an F, and he doesn't win the competition as he then leaves. The Alien says he doesn't think he wants to eat "Asshole turkey", but Marvin says he doesn't think it tastes like "asshole" as he tells Chef Pee Pee to taste it while The Alien leaves. Chef Pee Pee says he seasoned it well as he then cries. Brooklyn Guy then comes in, saying he saw the guy leave and if it wasn't the guy. Marvin says it was, and he said they didn't the $10 million, but Brooklyn Guy says it isn't a real contest. Marvin asks what's he talking about, so Brooklyn Guy says the guy crashes Thanksgivings and tells people that he has a contest so he can go to people's houses and eat all their food. Marvin gets upset as Brooklyn Guy says he does it every year and he just wants to eat people's Thanksgiving dinners, which he wakes up at 3 in the morning and eats Thanksgiving dinners all day. Marvin says he has a commercial, but Brooklyn Guy says he does it every year and they try to get it taken down before too many people sign up. Marvin says he sent him a picture of the dinner last night as Brooklyn Guy says he probably "gooned" to that, so Marvin asks if he's saying there's no $10 million prize for whoever has the best tasty Thanksgiving. Brooklyn Guy confirms as he asks how he would judge it as it's all the same food and no one's paying him $10 million for having a good Thanksgiving dinner. Marvin asks if he ran around and got the pardoned turkey just for it to be fake. Brooklyn Guy confirms as Marvin says he feels like an idiot. Brooklyn Guy says he is and he's a dumbass as he then asks if he's crying. Marvin says no, but Brooklyn Guy says he is crying because of the contest being a scam as he says they can probably pop the turkey back in the oven and salvage it. Marvin says ok as Brooklyn Guy asks if he heard the guy say it tastes like an "asshole".
