"Shrimp Yankers" is the first episode of Threediots. It was first released on Nintendo Video on June 6, 2012. The title for this episode is a portmanteau of "shrimp," a slang term referring to a small person, and Crank Yankers, a Comedy Central and MTV2 television series.
Description
Burke and Lola find out that Baltasar has been shrunk by a statue-like human being after entering a taxi cab, so they must find a replacement of him from a Time Portal: Baltasar's past self.
Plot
Production of an episode of Burke and Lola's show has begun and the latter mistakenly says her name wrong. Baltasar stops the scene and convinces her that her name is not "Lula." She realizes that he is right. Burke realizes that her name is "Lola" as well. Burke and Lola think that Baltasar looks small, and the former asks if he has shrunk. He responds to them that he already looks fine. However, they escort him to the growth chart and later learn that he is actually shrinking, much to his dismay.
The three don their helmets and hitch a ride on Lola's scooter during their trek to a Time Portal that leads to the past. Burke is seen relaxing on Lola's shoulder, and she asks Baltasar about something that has happened. Baltasar responds with a flashback that shows that the last time he has entered a cab, a human being, who is not a statue that he thinks he is, zaps him with his mystical powers. Lola stops her scooter, leading Burke informing Baltasar that what has happened is true and telling him not to cut in front of someone when waiting for his ride. Baltasar points to his own truth, but Lola declares that he has actually stolen a passenger's taxi by accident and informs that she and Burke are about to deal with the situation.
En route to the Time Portal, the three drive past a duo of bad guys known as the Lobstermen, who give chase in an attempt to prevent them from entering by using their staffs to shoot Lola's scooter. Burke grabs a gun and uses it to fire lemons at the Lobstermen. Lola manages to defeat the two by using a lemon-patterned grenade and throwing it backwards at them. As the three find the Time Portal nearby, it is almost about to close, so Burke convinces Lola to accelerate faster; however, he sees Baltasar eating something that is not food and warns him that he cannot do that. Lola agrees with Burke's command and floors her scooter.
The three enter the Time Portal in time where Baltasar gets amazed after they see his past self about to enter the taxi cab. He jumps off of Lola's scooter and stops his past self from cutting in front of a past self of the statue-like human being in an effort to prevent him from getting zapped by the human being. Burke and Lola declare that it is time they prepared for the show and enter the taxi. As the two move on, the past self of the human being tries to zap them, only for the shrinking attack to possibly miss.
