- Are you guys ready to make
the best epic fail video ever?
- We were born ready.
- Pig Billy, Boy Billy.
Pig Billy, Boy Billy.
Pig Billy, Boy Billy.
- Nora...
You are the adorable
little t-ball player
and, Billy, you are
the unlucky kid
who "accidentally"
gets in her way.
Hold and...
Action!
- [stiffly] Time to hit
one over the fence.
- [stiffly] Swing away,
but be careful
not to hit me in
my "special area."
- Oh, cut! Cut! Cut!
Cut! Cut!
Guys, epic fails are
supposed to look natural.
- You want an epic fail--
just point the camera
at your face.
- Ah, look who's back from
rehearsals of the "Buttcracker."
- The "Buttcracker"?
I see that ballet
every time dad bends over.
- It's called "Swan Lake"
and I worked really
hard to get the lead.
And in just a few short days,
I'll make my dance debut
and become "The Swan."
- So, it's going to be
three hours of that?
- I know.
Aren't you excited?
- Clear out, birdbrain.
I've gotta get back
to my epic fail video
so I can win that
Chirper contest.
- The first video to get
to one million re-chirps
wins $ , .
- Let me guess--you have
some ridiculous
over-the-top plan
for the winnings.
- No. I'm gonna buy a tiny
island in the South Pacific
where I'll start a dictatorship
called Maxlandia!
- Wait, what'll we get?
- You guys get to be one
of the lucky few
to be on the internet.
- I just wanna hit
something with a bat.
- MAX: Oh!
- BILLY: Oh, ho, ho!
- The camera wasn't rolling.
- I know.

- These epic fails are epic fakes.
How dare they call
my staged videos fake!
You guys need to fail better.
- Fail better as we skateboard
down the stairs backwards.
Got it.
- Yeah, I'm not doing that.
- ["Swan Lake" music]
- Hiddenville High presents
"Swan Lake" this Saturday.
Get your tickets now
to see me become...
"The Swan."
- Get outta the living
room, flappy feet.
- [turns off music]
- No way.
I'm making this video
to post on Chirper
so we can boost ticket
sales for the ballet.
We've only sold five so far.
- Ooh, I bought
my five tickets, sweetie!
[squealing]
I am so proud of you.
- Thanks, Mom.
b*at it, loser!
- Okay, guys, we are
still making our video.
Just ignore Phoebe
and remember...
this epic fail has
to look real.
- Got it!
Let's rock this!
- Oh!
- BILLY & NORA: [laughing]
- Did you see that?
That's the kind of video
you should be making.
- Great idea, Nora.
You're fired.
Phoebe, are you okay?
Uh, let me, uh, use your phone
to call the paramedics.
- [powers zapping]
Nice try, Max.
You are not posting
this video of me falling.
I've worked "tutu" hard.
[laughing]
Tutu.
Ballet humor.
You wouldn't get it.
Now I'll just go post
the good parts to Chirper
and then ballet
it down for an app.
Okay, I'm done with
ballet humor now.
- I'll get that phone.
For Maxlandia!
- Hank, I'm going
to run errands.
Let the gardener in.
- That's great, sweetheart.
Wait, gardeners
cost money.
- I found poison ivy
in the back yard.
He's removing it.
So, you kids stay out
of the backyard.
There's poison ivy
over there.
- BOTH: That's great, Mom.
- Okay, you know what
would be great?
If you kids went inside
until I got back.
- Well, don't be silly.
I'm right here.
I can watch 'em.
- I know, but if
they get poison ivy,
they'll be miserable
and they'll miss the ballet.
- Oh, I get it.
If your kids are in a bus
hanging off a bridge,
call Thunderman.
Ooh, but there's a scary
bush in the back yard.
Everybody in the house.
- I'm sorry, honey.
I totally trust you.
See you guys later.
- Okay, Nora, watch
me sink this sh*t.
- This is why we get
picked last in gym.
- I'll get it.
- Wait, I think that's where mom
just said the poison ivy was.
- Mom was out here?
- Somebody was yelling at us.
Maybe we should ask dad
if we can get it?
- Hey, Dad, can we
get our disc back?
- Is it on the roof?
- BILLY & NORA: No.
- Then go ahead.
- [zooming]
Got it--and no poison ivy.
Up top!

- Ow.
- Hey, genius, somebody
gave me poison ivy.
- Ew, who did that?
- Look in a mirror.
- [gasping]
Is he behind me?
- No. It's you.
Don't you have a rash, too?
- Only this tiny red
dot on my arm.
Ahhhhhhh! It's growing!
- It only grows
when you scratch it.
- Then we should
stop scratching.
- But it feels so good.
- I know.
- What is happening in here?
Oh, no.
You got poison ivy?
Please don't tell me
this happened on my watch.
- It didn't.
- Whew.
- It happened while you were
ignoring us on your watch.
- You cannot tell your mom.
She'll never let me
hear the end of it.
Don't worry--I'll find a cure.
Aw, what's this for?
- Just giving you poison
ivy to make sure
you want this cure
as much as we do.
- Ha. Nice try, Nora.
I flew into the sun once.
Do you really think Thunderman
can get poison ivy?
Ahhhhhhh!
It's like a thousand
fire ants are eating my skin!
- Phoebe, I saw your
video on Chirper.
Quite a performance.
- Oh, thanks.
Looks like my post
was a hit.
- Yeah, a real smash.
Hopefully, a million
people will see it.
- I hope you got your ticket
to the show tomorrow
night, Gideon.
- Sure did. Can't wait to
see you "break a leg."
- Thanks. But "break a leg"
is for theater folks.
Saying it to a dancer
is kinda creepy.
Especially when
you make that face.
- Your first fan.
Looks like you became
a star even before
you made your big debut.
You're welcome.
- I am not a star, Max.
I'm just Phoebe.
The same humble sister
you've always known.
Now if you'll excuse me,
my fans are waiting.
- That's it--fall for Gideon.
- CROWD: Aww...
- Don't worry, you'll get
the full show on Saturday.
[sighing]
Good afternoon, Madame Gigi.
- Bonjour, Phoebe.
Okay, too much touching.
- Sorry, I'm just excited.
It's our last rehearsal
before the big show.
- Yes, the show,
it is sold out.
The girls say it's because
of your...video.
- Sold out?
That's so awesome.
It'll be standing room only,
when I become...
"The Swan."
- No, no, no.
Phoebe, Mathilda will
become "The Swan."
You will stay home.
- I'm sorry, can you
repeat that?
Your accent made it sound
like I'm staying home.
- Oui. You will ruin my show.
You are the one who falls
and breaks things, non?
[clapping hands]
"The Epic Faillerina"?
- Epic Faillerina?
Oh!
Yeah, that's me,
but I didn't fall.
Well, I did fall, but...
How did I even--
Max!
- Oh, there's
the swan princess.
- [slams locker]
- Well, aren't you
the angry bird.
- The Epic Faillerina?
You turned me into
The Epic Faillerina!
- I turned you into
a Chirper sensation
and helped you sell out
your stupid ballet show.
- Oh! You mean the ballet show
I was kicked out of
because you turned me
into The Epic Faillerina!
- It's cool. She knows me.
We're practically dating.
[laughing]
Phoebe, can you take
a picture with my--
- [growling]
- My boo says now
is not a good time.
- So that's exciting.
You and Gideon, hm?
- Max, this is my first
lead in a ballet.
I have destroyed my toes
for this moment.
- To be fair, you've always
had unsightly toes.
- Well, you're not
gonna have any toes,
if you don't take down
that video.
- No, way. I am this close
to winning that contest
and buying my island.
Tell you what.
You can prance around
in your chicken suit
at the grand opening
of Maxlandia.
- This isn't over, Max.
One way or another,
I'm gonna get you back--
right after I get
my lead back.
And I'm gonna show all of you
that I am not The Epic Failler--
Whoa!
- CROWD: [gasping]

- Starting now.
Okay now.
- Dad, did you find the cure?
- Not yet, but I promise
I will click on every link,
I will search every page,
and I will not rest until--
Ooh, hoo, hoo, pictures
of celebrities without makeup.
- Dad, focus!
Our poison ivy's
getting worse.
- I hope, for your sake,
that mom doesn't
come home soon.
- COMPUTER VOICE:
Alert! Alert!
Mom is approaching.
- Oh, no.
Hide your arms.
Do not let her see
you scratching.
- Oh, I found
the cutest outfit
to wear to the ballet tonight.
- Oh, that's great, honey.
- I'm just gonna go upstairs
and find some shoes to match.
Oh, we're gonna have
so much fun tonight.
- Dad, I can't
live like this.
You have to find that cure.
- Oh, here's something.
There's a rare plant
in the Amazon
that the locals say
cures poison ivy.
Check it out.
- Think it'll work?
- Only one way to find out.
Race ya there, Billy.

Wanna see me earn it?

believe you did this.

You were kind enough to send
that email to Madame Gigi
confessing you faked the video.
- I didn't send any--
[gasping]
You hacked my email?!
