Junior wants Toys "R" Us back!
Plot[]
The video starts off with Junior and his friends, Joseph and Cody, sitting on the red couch while Junior asks what they got for Christmas. Joseph says that he didn't get anything, because he does not have a family. Junior says that it would be difficult for Santa and his elves to make him a family, and then he looks at Cody and asks him the same question. Cody says that he celebrates Hanukkah, and doesn't say anything else. Junior says that his Dad gave him 100 dollars. Joseph freaks out and asks what he is going to buy, and gives an example, that being a family. Junior responds by saying that he wants to buy toys, but he mentions that there are no Toy stores around him, so he can't buy toys. Joseph says that he wishes that there was a store for Toys, that for them. They keep saying that until Junior says "Toys are us," which reminds him of the toy store, "Toys R Us." They all get excited because they remembered the store they were looking for, but they then get sand because they remembered that Toys R Us went bankrupted, so they can't buy toys from there. Junior asks what happened to Geoffrey the Giraffe, and Jeffy walks in thinking that his name was called, but Junior corrected him by saying that he was talking about Geoffrey the Giraffe. Jeffy does not know what he is talking about, so he quickly says that he likes giraffes. After the friends had been done talking about Geoffrey, Joseph gets curious and decides to google what happened to him, but he quickly found out that he became homeless. The friends get sad that Geoffrey is now homeless, but Joseph finds out that he has a job, so he's not in that bad of a situation. Geoffrey had been doing underground fights for money.
Joseph finds a video of Geoffrey doing a boxing match, this video in particular was him against Lovell Stanton. Geoffrey, before being able to get a hit on Lovell, gets hit multiple times which leads to him falling. Despite Geoffrey being on the ground, Lovell keeps attacking until Anthony Miller, the boxing referee, drags him away.
Junior gets done looking at the video , and starts to wish there was a way to help him. Cody points out that they could give him boxing lessons, but Junior was looking for a different idea. Junior thought about finding Geoffrey and offering him to stay at his house. Cody points out that Braxton would most likely not let a giraffe live in his house, but Junior points out that there is a higher chance because he was the former mascot of Toys R Us. Cody lists off reasons why Geoffrey shouldn't stay in Junior's house, and then Junior says that he is so iconic, he might as well let him in. Junior then asks if Cody saw Jared from subway was outside, if he would let him in. Cody says no, but Junior points out all the sandwiches. When Cody says no, Junior and Joseph start to say the subway jingle, "5 dollar, 5 dollar foot long," but Cody says that he might be getting "tons of foot longs in prison." Junior gets confused, but Cody just says to never mind his statement, and continues to another topic. Junior then tells everyone to help him find Geoffrey so he can stay at his house.
The next scene is outside, which is where Geoffrey can be seen "playing" with a cardboard box, when Cody sees him. Junior notices him, and then Geoffrey holds up the piece of cardboard, it says "WILL WORK 4 FOOD." Junior reads the sign and asks if there is anything they can do, suddenly, Geoffrey points his finger to his, "part." The boys get disgusted, well, Cody pretends to. Junior offers him his house, which Geoffrey accepts, by making a thumbs up, and dancing along to the house.
At the house, Junior introduces it and tells him to watch his head. Geoffrey does NOT watch his head, and hits it on the door, until he falls, and is grabbed by Joseph. When Geoffrey sits on the couch, Junior introduces him to everything, and then Cody points out how tall he is. Junior then asks what they do with him, but Cody gets mad because it was Junior's idea. Junior thinks of something quick, and asks if he is hungry. Geoffrey says that he is, so Junior tells him to go to the fridge and grab whatever he wants. Geoffrey gets up and walks to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Chef Pee Pee is seen cooking Hibachi, while Geoffrey is looking through the fridge. Chef Pee Pee notices the noise, and sees Geoffrey grabbing his beer. Chef Pee Pee gets mad because Geoffrey had stolen his beer, so he starts chasing after Geoffrey. When Geoffrey is running up the stairs, Chef Pee Pee manages to grab his tail and pulls him down, but Geoffrey was able to get away after beating up Chef Pee Pee. He then walks up the stairs with the beer he is holding in his hands. His final destination was the bathroom.
Cody then points out that he just watched Geoffrey run into the bathroom holding beer. Joseph said he might have to poop, but Cody reminds him of the beer. Joseph then thinks that he might have been thirsty. Junior then tells Cody to go check on him with the other friends. Junior gets to the bathroom door, and knocks for Geoffrey. Junior doesn't get a response, so he opens the door, and sees Geoffrey drunk in the bathtub. Junior tries to get his attention multiple times, but after a few tries, Geoffrey starts to get up, and drops a bottle of beer, leading to it shattering. Junior says that they should leave him alone while he sobers up instead of bothering him while he is drunk, and they leave the bathroom.
Junior gets nervous, because he does not know what to do, Cody reminds Junior that he pointed it out to him that they shouldn't have just let a homeless giraffe into his home. Junior says they need to make something to live for, and then he thinks to reopen Toys R Us, but he gets interrupted by Chef Pee Pee, which he asks why there is a giraffe in the house stealing beer. Junior tells him who he is, but Chef Pee Pee does not ca. Cody says he is going through a lot, but Chef Pee Pee "finishes" the sentence by saying, "-through a lot of stuff in my refrigerator." He then says that he called the cops on Geoffrey. Brooklyn T. Guy then shows up seconds after, and Junior explains that it is Geoffrey from Toys R Us. Brooklyn Guy knows what he is dealing with, as he gets lots of calls about him. Brooklyn Guy mentions a ton of jobs, which did not work for him. Junior says he wanted to help, which Brooklyn Guy asks why he would do that. Junior says he was in the Christmas spirit, but Brooklyn Guy says that Christmas is over, and so is Geoffrey's life. Junior tells Brooklyn Guy not to kill Geoffrey, but Brooklyn Guy had to, and then asked where he was. Junior then leads Brooklyn Guy to the bathroom.
Junior shows Brooklyn Guy Geoffrey. Brooklyn Guy gets upset and asks what happened to him, he says that he used to be a childhood hero but now he is a drunk. He then says that he will let Geoffrey live if Junior can get him a job in under 24 hours. Junior gets excited and tells his friends what they need to do to keep Geoffrey from being killed by Brooklyn Guy. Cody and Joseph said there is no way for that to happen, because he is already drunk. Junior says they just need to reopen Toys "R" Us, because that's what made him happy. Cody then says that it wouldn't work because of the last time they tried to do the same thing. Junior starts to think of ideas, and asks what people do when they are washed up and have no money. Joseph thinks for a moment, and says people sell their bodies. Junior says no, they do boxing. Cody reminds them that he can't box without losing, but Junior was desperate, and said that they should make the price 300 Million dollars to help motivate him. Cody asks who is going to pay him, but Junior says people make millions of dollars over night fight Floyd Mayweather. Junior also points out they don't need that much, they only need a few million dollars to open a Toys R Us on top of Macy's. Cody realizes that Junior might have been onto something, so Junior goes to look for a boxer.
The video jumps to D-Money counting all of his money, when Junior interrupts and offers a fight. D-Money asks who wants to fight. Junior tells him that Geoffrey wants to, but D-Money was not interested. He says he only fights people who are well known. Junior says that he is famous, but D-Money does not care, he is still not interested. Junior sighs and thinks of an idea, and bets all of the money on D-Money's table. D-Money makes it a deal, and they go over the rules again.
Junior goes to the red couch to tell his friends the plan, they are excited but Junior tells them that Geoffrey HAS to win. He says he only gets payed if he wins the fight, but they all know a drunk giraffe can't beat a professional boxer. Junior says that he has to either way otherwise they pay millions of dollars. Junior tells them to just go to the living room, because the fight would be starting.
In the living room, Junior tells Geoffrey to win the fight so Toys R Us can come back. When everyone was ready, Junior says, "Ding Ding," and the fight starts. Immediately, Geoffrey starts hitting D-Money with no time for him to hit back, and Geoffrey starts to continue hitting him after he falls. Junior keeps telling him that he won, but Geoffrey kept hitting until he got tired. Geoffrey then runs to get the money.
They go back to the couch with all the money, and Brooklyn Guy comes to snap Geoffrey's neck, but finds out that Geoffrey had tons of money, which means he is back on his feet again. Brooklyn Guy leaves because he knew he was proven wrong. Junior and his friends then invite Geoffrey to Macy's to reopen Toys R Us. They go to Toys "R" Us and start singing a song about the reopening. The song is about their obsession with buying toys and their excitement with the reopening of the store. The video then ends with the song ending as well.

Trivia[]
- This episode was uploaded two years after "The DNA Test!", five years after "Cody's Report Card!", eleven years after "Angry Birds 16 inch Plush" and fifteen years after "Kitten in a Christmas Tree".
- This episode marks Junior, Joseph, Cody and Chef Pee Pee's last 2022 appearances.
- This is D-Money's first appearance since "Cody's Cavity!".
- This episode is a sequel to "Bowser Junior's Bad News!", and references Toys "R" Us' miraculous return from the brink.
- This video reveals that in the SML universe, Junior was the reason for Toys "R" Us reopening as store-within-a-store locations inside Macy's department stores.
- WHP Global (the company that bought out Tru Kids, the parent company of Toys "R" Us and their other brands) opening Toys "R" Us locations in every Macy's store in late 2022 was the whole reason of the "Junior Saves Toys "R" Us!" video, with Toys "R" Us opening in the Macy's stores in a state of Florida (the state where the SML crew live in), or a state near Florida (like Alabama, with Pensacola not having a nearby Macy's store).
- In one the scenes inside ToysRus, There is a Chuggington refrence as there is a Chuggington toy on the shelves.
Errors[]
- The thumbnail is misleading as Jeffy only appeared for one scene and was not seen for the rest of the video.
- The SML question is reused from the last video "Jeffy's Santa Freak Out!".
- There is an exclamation mark in the title, but not in the thumbnail. This is likely because there isn't enough room to put the exclamation mark in the thumbnail.
- When Cody mentions Hanukkah, Junior and Joseph don't act confused and don't mistake it for the n-word; unlike in "The Santa Clause Problem!". It could've been Junior and Joseph have moved on from that.
- This video's title incorrectly names Toys "R" Us as ToysRus, for some reason.
- Junior should have been aware already that Toys R Us was out of business, since he learned in "Bowser Junior's Bad News!".
