- Okay, your five words all
start with un, which means not.
They are: unsure.
When you're unsure
about something it means
you're not totally sure.
You have some doubts.
Unbelievably, if something
is unbelievably delicious
you can't believe
how delicious it is.
Undo, when you undo
something, you make it like
the thing never happened.
Unfriendly, unfriendly
means not nice.
Unusual, unusual
means not usual.
Something that is special and
doesn't happen very often.
Okay so we have unsure,
unbelievably, undo,
unfriendly, and unusual.
Watch out for them
in today's show.
(peaceful chime music)
(sighs)
- Jessie you asleep yet?
- Hmm?
- Oh, sorry sorry
sorry. Go back to sleep.
- Oh, everything okay?
- Everything's fine.
I was just gonna tell
you a scary story.
- Oh no, I'm awake, tell it.
- Okay.
This is the story
of the unmuffin.
An unbelievably
delicious muffin.
Seriously, you would not
believe how delicious it is.
Once you eat it though,
your personality changes.
You become the un
version of yourself.
If you are a nice
friendly person,
you become unfriendly.
- Mmm, unfriendly, really scary.
- Oh come on, wait
till you hear this.
Once upon a time, a lovely
young girl was walking
all alone in the woods.
In a very quiet, quiet
part of the woods.
She was tired and hungry and
she had a sinking feeling
that she was lost.
And she ran into a
friend, eating a muffin.
- Muffin
Hello?
Can anybody hear me?
Hello?
Is anyone out there?
Hello?
Anyone?
- Enough!
- Oh, Lisa, thank goodness.
- Mm what do you want?
- Where are we?
Do you know the way
out of this place?
- Maybe I do and maybe I don't.
What's in it for
me, a little money?
- Lisa?
- What?
- You're acting differently
than you usually do.
This is not the usual you.
- Oh well I don't think
I'm doing anything unusual.
- Even the way you're talking.
Usually you speak in
a friendly way but
- What?
- Lisa, you're being unfriendly.
- Maybe it's something I ate.
Have a muffin Jessica.
- The unmuffin.
- Have a muffin Jessica.
Have a muffin Jessica.
Have a muffin Jessica.
Have a muffin Jessica.

Have a muffin Jessica.
Have a muffin Jessica.

That's not a word.
Not open.
Why is it closed?
Hey you guys?
- Hey Jessica, what's up?
- Hey guys, where's my brother?
- Hector wasn't
interested in coming.
- He started out interested.
- But then he
became, uninterested.
- Uninterested?
That's not like my brother?
- Very unlike him.
- Unusual

- There something wrong Jessica?
- Oh gee! Shh!
- No I'm sorry to startle you
but you just seemed to be upset.
Is there some way
that I can help you?
- Just, Danny, leave me alone
- Why? I just want to help.
- Okay Danny I know
you're super sensitive
and this is probably gonna
really hurt your feelings,
but you're a prankster,
and I don't trust you.
- That's cool Jessica.
I completely understand.
- You do?
- Well sure, I mean
you have no reason
to put your trust in me.
- Danny, that's so unlike you.
- Wait a minute, did
you eat a muffin today?
- As a matter of fact, I had
this muffin for breakfast,
and it was
unbelievably delicious.
- Must have been the unmuffin.
And you must be the Undanny.
The unmuffin makes you the
opposite of who you are.
So now I can trust you!
- Huh, well I don't
feel any different.
Anyway, how can I help ya?
- The rest of the electric
company has eaten unmuffins
and now they're all
being unfriendly.
- Oh ho ho, well
we can't have that!
Come on Jessica, we'll find
our way out of this mess.
- Alright Undanny, let's go!
- Cupcake!

- [Announcer] Today on
the Big Face Face Off
It's Jessica versus Francine.
- In this duel, I
will use the uh sound.
- I will use the
uh sound as well.
- Too much sun.
I have an umbrella.
- I will build a hut
to shut out the sun.
- I will cut a hole in your hut.
- I will climb onto
the hump of this camel
and we will run to
a tub of icy water.
Ah, and the water is
cool as a cucumber.
- Oh yeah, I will jump into
my own tub of icy cold water
This is not my lucky day.
- Ready?
- Ready.
- Woohoo
- Dude, I want it zipped.
- Well I want it unzipped.
- I like it zipped dude.
- Yeah well I like it unzipped.
- Dude, zipped!
- Unzipped!
- Zipped!
- Unzipped!
- Ahh!
- Dude, this is all your fault
- Zip it!
And they say two heads
are better than one.
- So what's happened so far?
- I am going to tell an
unbelievably scary story
about a muffin that
makes you act differently
than you normally act.
Once, in a forest,
Jessica ran into Lisa.
When Lisa was acting
in her usual way,
she was very pleasant.
But Lisa seemed unusual.
She was being unpleasant.
It's because Lisa's
eaten an unmuffin.
- Hey you guys,
what should I do?
I'm unsure.
When you don't
know what to do
Or you don't
know what to say
It means that you're unsure
In a serious way
You're standing on a path
Thinking where should I go?
When you're feeling unsure
You just don't know
Then Jessica saw Danny who
was unbelievably happy.
- Happy? That's not
at all like Danny!
- How are you Jessica,
how can I help, Jessica?
- Help? I can't believe
it, what's happening?
- Spamboni's Unbuns?
- Hello Danny, Jessica,
welcome to Spamboni's bakery.
I am Chef Spamboni.
May I suggest the
specialty of the house?
The unbun.
They're unbelievably delicious.
Little do they realize
that if they have one bite,
they will become the
un-version of themselves.
Have a bun.
- Don't mind if I do.
- Danny wait.
Would you excuse us
for a second, Chef?
- What's up?
- You want to help me right?
- Of course.
- Well then don't eat that bun.
- Why not?
- You had an unmuffin
for breakfast,
and you became the
unversion of yourself.
You're the Undanny.
- Yes.
- So if you eat unbuns,
you'll be the un-Undanny
and go back to being
your prankster self.
- Oh I see!
You undo Undanny
He'll go back to being Danny
And we all know the
Danny the Undanny was
So don't you dare undo me
Because I'll
become the true me
And go back to doing all
the things that Danny does
What the unmuffin
did will be undone.
If you take a little
nibble of the unbun.
What the unmuffin
did will be undone
If you take a little
nibble of the unbun.
Don't undo Undanny
No don't undo Undanny
Just don't undo Undanny
No don't undo Undanny
Just don't undo Undanny
No don't undo Undanny
Just don't undo Undanny
No don't undo Undanny
Danny is so touchy
Things everything's unfair
If you are in trouble though
UnDanny will be there.
UnDanny he will help you
If you are in distress
But Danny he can't help you
Cause Danny is a mess.
What the unmuffin
did will be undone
If you take a little
nibble of the unbun.
What the unmuffin
did will be undone
If you take a little
nibble of the unbun.
Wait a minute Danny, if we
had some help from Manny
We could feed a bun to Lisa
One to Keith
and one to Shock
I have a little planny
On how to handle Manny
We'll get those
buns don't worry
Undanny man you rock.
What the unmuffin
did will be undone
If you take a little
nibble of the unbun
What the unmuffin
did will be undone
If you take a little
nibble of the unbun
- So if Manny eats an
unbun, he'll help us.
- Chef Spamboni, are
you a man of your word?
- That I am.
- So if you say you're
going to do something
than you'll do
it, is that right?
- Absolutely, if I say
I'll do it then I'll do it
- Will you please eat a bun?
- I will not eat a bun.
- Are you sure?
And by that I mean
you really really know
that you're not
going to eat a bun?
- Yes I am sure that I'm not.
- Oh so you're not sure?
- Uh yes I'm not sure.
- Oh so you're unsure,
and by that I mean
you really really don't know.
- Uh yes.
- What are you unsure about?
- Um uh, I am unsure that
I'm not gonna eat a bun.
- Jessica will you please
replay that sentence?
- I am unsure that I am
not going to eat a bun.
- Good, and will you
please add quotation marks
to show that this is
exactly what he said.
Good.
Manny, that's what you said.
Now eat a bun.
- Why?
- Because you're not
sure that you won't
- Which means you might.
- Huh?
- Jessica
- Well if you were sure
that you're not gonna eat it
then you wouldn't eat it right?
- Right
- But you're not sure that
you're not gonna eat it
so you might as well eat it.
- I am so lost.
- [Both] So eat it!
- Jessica, if there's
anything that I,
meek, mild mannered, Manny
Sponboni can do to help you
or the wonderful
electric company just ask
and it shall be done.
- Haha, well that
worked like a charm.
Now all we have to do is get
the electric company together.
- And we all know how
that's done don't we?
- Absolutely.
- Of course.
- [All Together] Hey you guys!
- [Announcer] Period.
Exclamation point.
Question mark.

Let's try an exclamation point.
Manny Spamboni is a
great genius, ha ha ha!
What else can I try?

Punctuation mark
Punctuation
When you see a
punctuation mark
Yeah you have to
know what to do
A period, comma,
question mark,
and an exclamation point too
They're in every sentence
that you read or write
Take a look it's true
So when you see a
punctuation mark
You have to know what to do
A period shows that
a sentence is over
I can fly a plane.
A question mark shows
you're asking a question
Can you fly a plane?
An exclamation point
expresses excitement
Hey, watch our
for that plane!
A comma means you slow
down, pause, take a breath
When I want to go to Spain
I hop onto my plane
When you see a
punctuation mark
You have to know what to do
A period, comma,
question mark,
And an exclamation point too
They're in every sentence
that you read or write
Take a look it's true.
So when you see a

You have to know what to do
- I hope our plan works.
- Me too Jessica.
All I want is for you, and
the good old electric company
to be back to normal again.
- Yeah, Jess, you
guys are my heroes.
- Wait, I think I hear them.
(distant laughter)
- There she is, let's get her!
- Yeah let's get her.
- Let's make her unpleasant.
(all laughing)
- Welcome to the
Electric Diner Unplugged.
- Out of my way rebus.
- Yeah b*at it Danny.
- Oh my we certainly
have become unfriendly.
- We certainly have.
Bring out the muffins boys.
- [All] Have a muffin Jessica
- [All] Have a muffin Jessica
- [All] Have a muffin Jessica
- Alright, enough already!
I'll eat a muffin!
Mmm, mmm.
Unbelievably delicious.
I feel so unusual.
I feel so unfriendly.
Don't just stand there
Spamboni, bring out those buns.
- What to do with
the buns Jessica?
- Try em and find out Lisa.
What's the matter?
You scared?
- I'm not scared of any buns.
- Buns don't scare me.
- Give me a bun already.
- Whoa, look at us.
- Yeah weird.
- What happened?
- Long story.
- Well, I think we
ought to get back
to being pranksters again.
- Yeah I guess so.
- You guys don't have to.
- No I think we do.
- Bye fellas, thanks.
- How come he got a bigger bun?
- Don't look at my bun!
Don't touch my bun.
- Welcome back fellas.
- I don't chew gum.
- I know.
- [Announcer] Commas
help you read a list.
Commas show you
when to take a pause
in the middle of a sentence.
But wait, there's more!
when a comma comes
before quotation marks,
it tells you someone
is about to talk.
Get your super value
pack of commas today.
- Help!
- Problem dude?
- My mom sent me to get food,
but I've never
heard of this stuff.
Get gravy bread, juice
cookies, and jelly?
What's a juice cookie?
- I think your mom just
forgot a few commas.
- Get gravy, bread,
juice, cookies, and jelly.
That makes a lot more sense.
Thanks Captain Cluck.
- And the poultry patrol.
- And the poultry patrol.
- My daughter studies
rocks and flies.
- Oh well my daughter
studies, rocks, and flies.
- Hmph.
- Mom, can I have a
comma for my birthday?
- You are totally not
going to believe this.
So my mom came home
right, and she said
"We have a major problem".
So I asked, "What
do you mean mom?"
and she yelled, "You
know what I mean Kate!"
"The leak in the bathroom!"
Then I whispered, "Billy,
you're in such big trouble".
Billy's my little brother.
I told Mom, "I didn't
take a bath today".
So Mom asked, "Who took a bath?"
And I said, "Billy totally
must have taken a bath
because I didn't take a bath."
So Billy, what do you
have to say for yourself?
- I say, "Hold up
your left hand."
- uh oh.
I'm in so much trouble.
(b*at boxing)
(sings)
(b*at boxing)
Saw these little lines, they
were floating in the air
And I turned and
asked my momma
Momma why are they there?
Did you notice the
quotation marks
Are floating by my head?
And she said
We always put quotation marks
around what someone said
Okay well thank you mama,
but now I have to go
She said wait a minute
son, there's something else
You have to know
So I stopped and
turned around and said
What is it mama?
And she said, before
you use quotation marks
You have to use a comma.
So if you have quotation
marks floating near your head
Remember you can use them
to show what someone said
But also please remember
the words of my sweet mama
She said,
"Before you use
quotation marks you
have to use a comma."
- Wait, that was
you the whole time?
- Yeah, that was me,
how bout that huh?
This guy.
- [Announcer] I'm
special agent Jack Bowser
It's Halloween night at
the candy corn factory.
This place is about to explode.
And I can't cr*ck
the code to get out.
Help me read this.
- Ahh!
- Girl you slept late,
it's almost : .
You hungry?
- Starving.
- Good, I brought you breakfast.
- Thank you.
- Have a muffin Jessica.
- What if I told you, you
could make your own video?
Go online to pbskidsgo.org
and you can take
clips from the show
make your own video, music video
or even video about me!
Manny Spamboni, now

(laughs)
The time is now,

The rhythm that
you're feeling
The music in your ear
The charge is electric
And all you gotta do it
Plug it in, plug it in
It's what we do at
the electric company
Inviting all of you to
all the possibilities
Learning to write

We have a good time

And once you get it
You have to share it
Discovering your power
You own it, you
wear it proud
And you shout it out loud
Electric company
Is it's out, oh!
- Jess you asleep yet?
Sorry, go back to sleep,

I just wanted to tell
