"Got Stank?" is the second episode of the first season of Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja. It premiered on September 17, 2012.
Synopsis[]
After triangle-playing band geek Bucky is benched for showboating, he is "stanked" by the Sorcerer’s noxious gas which turns him into a crazy monster creating mayhem at Norrisville High. Randy must learn the secret to saving Bucky, who has fallen under the influence of the evil Sorcerer’s powers, by destroying the one thing Bucky holds most dear.
Plot[]
In the beginning of the episode, Randy and Howard bust into the school gymnasium in speedos and full body paint. Instead of being accepted as cool and let into the "Fish Cage", which is the cool kids' seating area, they are laughed at and being forced to sit on the regular bleachers like everyone else. Though they are disappointed, Howard reminds Randy that at least they are not in the Marching Band, who get various food items thrown at them. As the Marching Band get food thrown at them as they play their instruments, they see Bucky Hensletter, the triangle player, crazily dinging his instrument in attempts to look like he's doing a cool solo. Flute Girl reminds him that there are no triangle solos in the songs, and Bucky is reminded of this again when Miss Wickwhacker the band instructor forces him to sit out of band for the rest of the night. Bucky, who is now very upset, runs out of the gym and cries because he loves playing the triangle and he clearly can't handle punishment.
The Sorcerer hears the crying Bucky and sees it as a perfect opportunity to create a Stank monster, the first one we see of the season. He stanks Bucky, who becomes a purple amphibian-like creature. Bucky takes this opportunity in his monster form to crash into the band room and take revenge on Miss Wickwhacker who told him to sit out. The ninja comes in and partially saves the day by protecting Miss Wickwhacker and the marching band's students. However, Bucky escapes the premises, still a monster.
Randy searches for Bucky for a while before finally consulting the NinjaNomicon for an answer to Bucky's predicament, all the while trying to entertain Howard's constant pestering about "getting in the Fish Cage."
Once the Nomicon shows him how to destank monsters, which is to destroy what they hold most dear, Randy joins the school band as the replacement triangle player in hopes that that would make Bucky come back to the school to seek revenge. Though Howard strongly disapproves of Randy's decision, Bucky does actually show up in the gym.
You make him pay, ninja. YOU MAKE HIM PAY!
Randy turns into the ninja and fought Bucky again, finally taking what Bucky holds most dear, in this case the triangle dinger, and cutting it in half with his Ninja Sword. This turns Bucky back into a human again.
After the school's basketball game in the gymnasium is over, Randy and Howard sit in the fish cage and are satisfied with the outcome even though they did not get to sit there during the game. The episode ends with Bucky running away naked from a crowd of laughing kids, since his band clothes were stretched out after being stanked, and Randy mentions that he shouldn't have seen that.

Randy and Jean-Ralphio in matching band uniforms
