"The Madness of King Bob" is the first segment of the thirty-ninth episode of Recess.
Synopsis[]
Continuing from "The Big Prank", King Bob becomes obsessed with getting revenge on T.J..
Plot[]
The episode begins with a "previously on" segment recounting the events of "The Big Prank". In the current time, T.J. pulls another prank on Randall much to everyone's joy. However, King Bob tells his assistants, Justin and Jerome, that he has grown to despise T.J. since he had pranked him a month ago and looks to get back at him, despite the two of them thinking it ill-advised. King Bob decides to step down as ruler of the playground to complete his task of pranking T.J. back. Right away, King Bob's pranks do not hit, or rather they get Gus instead, and T.J. and the rest of the Gang try to figure out who is trying to prank him.
With King Bob mysteriously absent, Gretchen deduces that he is the one trying to prank T.J. who welcomes the challenge. Despite this, the Gang tell T.J. that he should take a dive as the playground is in utter chaos due to the absence of the King, something he does not agree to. A magician named Yahoozie appears and offers that T.J. come up and assist him. The magician turns out to be King Bob who successfully douses T.J. with jello. Afterwards, King Bob speaks to T.J. privately and gets him to admit that he took a dive for him. T.J. relents as it was for the good of the playground. King Bob thanks him and gets joy buzzed, though the two of them keep it between them.
