"The Big Prank" is the second segment of the thirty-fifth episode of Recess.
Synopsis[]
T.J. tries to prank King Bob so he can win the King's old title of "Prankster Prince".
Plot[]
After pulling a complicated prank on Randall, T.J. is lauded by King Bob after Randall attempted to tell on T.J. to him. When he is dubbed the Prankster Prince by his friends, King Bob mentions that he once held that title when he was young. The Gang begin to push T.J. to take the new title, despite his reluctance to, and King Bob agrees to the wager that in order for T.J. to be the Prankster Prince, he would have to try and prank him. Should he lose, T.J. would have to be his fanning boy for a week. T.J. admits to the Gang that he is unsure of himself, but they manage to convince him to take up the challenge.
T.J.'s pranks do not go as planned and many of them fail, or in King Bob's eyes are underwhelming. T.J. finally decides to pull off another complex prank, but this results in him getting caught in his own trap and covered in honey and feathers. Despite the time limit not being up, T.J. tells King Bob that he is forfeiting. The rest of the Gang attempt to stand up for T.J. by admitting that it was his fault that he got into that situation, but King Bob holds to the wager, that is until he sits on his throne and realizes that whoopie cushion was placed underneath it. Having fallen for T.J.'s simple, yet effective prank, T.J. wins and is crowned the Prankster Prince.
