Recap

As Billy is watching his favorite show "Laundry Day", which is actually just a laundry machine in a laundromat, Mandy and Grim find an old skull named Thromnambular in the laundry machine, who can grant 9 wishes, and then be freed from his skull prison. Billy starts it off and a weird, chaotic journey happens to whoever gets it next. Billy wants to go on a Jonny Quest-type adventure with mom, dad, Saliva, and Irwin. But at the end, Irwin is eaten, and Billy didn't like the dream.

Next, Harold (Billy's Dad) wants to go back to his high school days. He claims them to be the best days of his life, but everyone throws him in the garbage can. Then the skull falls into the possession of Skarr, who wants supreme power, and a statue of him rises out of the ground. The statue rises into space, where Skarr loses air and explodes. The skull then falls into a blow-up pool with Irwin, and he wants Mandy while performing in a hip-hop video. Mandy pops the pool, and Irwin is sent flying into a trash can.

The skull is then found by Pud'n, who wants a loving pet rabbit. However, the rabbit just tries to kill Pud'n, saying that "love hurts". Next, Nergal Junior gets Thromnambular, and he wants to know what he wishes for. After beating up Nergal Junior and getting the skull, Sperg wishes that he could go into the ladies room to steal the money of some girl. However, he is turned into a girl ,and, after being teased by all the other girls, cries and runs off.

Then, Mindy finds the skull and wishes to be a star. But she is intead tied onto a rocket, is shot into space, and blows up like a normal star. One wish left until Thromnambular is freed. So, who else should get the last wish but Mandy? Instead of making the last wish, Mandy intends to sell the skull. As everyone tries to buy it, Grim wishes Billy and Mandy never got the skull in the first place. Grim accidentaly grabs hold of Thromnambular, and uses the last wish. The skull has 9 more wishes again, and they go back in time to the beginning of the episode. Mandy pushes Billy into the laundry machine, ending the episode.

Epilogue: Grim wishes that he was free of Billy and Mandy and that Thromnambular was free of making wishes, but what happened was that Grim and Thromnambular's heads switched making Grim the wishing skull and Thromnambular the Grim Reaper.

Trivia

One would think that Grim would be glad he'd switched with Thromnambular. Now Thromnambular had to serve Billy and Mandy for eternity, and he only had to grant nine wishes. Plus, since Grim hates mortals, he should be glad that the wishes would have negative effects.

Billy: He wishes that he would go on a quest with his friends and family, and that Thromnambular was the ancient treasure. Only for it to backfire and get them chased by monsters.

Harold (Billy's Dad): He wishes that he would redo his high school days. But he gets beat up when he tries to talk to them

General Skarr: He wishes that he would be the ruler of Endsville. But the statue growing out of the ground that he was standing on was to big and Skarr suffocates and dies in space as a result.

Irwin: He wishes that he would be in a Hip-Hop video and Mandy would be there. Because Irwin farted she puts a hose in his mouth and he blast in a trash can.

Pud'n: He wishes for a bunny that will love him. The bunny loves him so much he tries to kill him using tough love.

Nergal Jr.: He wishes that he knew what to wish for. He wasted a wish.

Sperg: He wishes that he could get into the girl's room. He turned into a lady but the girls insult him/her making him cry.

Mindy: She wishes that she would be a big star (not literally). Her wish was taken to literally so Mindy was launched into space, killing her and making a star.

Mandy: She never made a wish at all, instead trying to sell Thromnambular

Grim Reaper: He wishes that Billy and Mandy never found the skull in the first place. Reversing the episode back to where it started.

Grim wishes that he wasn't Billy and Mandy's best friend, only for him switch lives with Thromnambular.

Trivia

• The truck Pud'n goes in resembles Optimus Prime.
• When Nergal Jr. holds Thromnambular, he has a white shirt with short sleeves. But, when he wishes he knew what to wish for, his shirt has long sleeves with a dark-blueish stripe in the middle.

Quotes

Skarr: (laughs evilly while standing on the the statue of him as it rises into the air) Yes, cower, you fools! Cower at the sight of my awesome visage! Kneel before me! Kneel and bow! And, with your chins in the dirt, look up! Look up and say, "Who in all the heavens is mightier than General Ska-" (suddenly chokes) No air! (Skarr and Thromnambular start to float up into space before Skarr explodes)

Nergal Jr.: I could wish I was a super hero. I could do anything. But... wait! Then I'd have to save the world all the time. And do dangerous things like fight giant monsters~ I'm tired just thinking about it. What if I wished I was rich and famous? I'd get all the ladies. But then I'd be harassed by the paparazzi all the time. I could wish I was the smartest kid in the world. I'd even get awards for just for being smart. And I'd just get smarter and smarter and smarter and... AAAAHHHH! I wish I knew what to wish for.
