- And that's when I knew I had seen my th UFO.
- [laughing] Wow. Another great story, Cherry.
- BARB: Kids?
What happened to you?
- We saved a beached whale.
Then it said thank you by spitting seaweed on us.
The save would've gone smoother,
if I had the land, air and sea rocket
I requested from the Hero League.
- Oh, the rocket shark. - Yep.
It goes from scuba to sky in . seconds.
- Hey, thanks for waiting for me, Cherry.
- Aw, it's cool, but I can't hang out
or else I'm gonna be late for work at the Clam Castle.
- If President Kickbutt had just made you my supe assistant
like I asked, your job would be hangin' out with me.
- I am very qualified for that job.
- I know!
Know what? I'm gonna call Kickbutt right now.
- Not if I call her, first.
- Hey, kids! You can't bother President Kickbutt
with your frivolous requests. - ALL: [gasping]
- I have been called a lot of things,
but frivolous is a word I don't know.
- It means she's too busy to take your silly requests--
like last week when somebody asked for space hair gel?
- Do you think I want my hair to look like yours?
Okay, fine. We promise not to call President Kickbutt.
Thunder Monitor, call President Kickbutt.
- FEMALE VOICE: President Kickbutt is not available.
- Is she blocking our calls?
- FEMALE VOICE: Yes, but you didn't hear it from me.
- She can't hide from us. Chloe?
- [whooshing]
- Hey, we need you to go get President Kickbutt.
- I guess my tea party can wait.
[whooshing]
- So, did I ever tell you guys
that I once met an alien named Gramulak?
[laughing] Funny story.
- [whooshing]
- So, I say to you supes--
Why am I here?
You kids interrupted my State of the SuperUnion speech.
- Sorry, but we have some issues
that are really, really important.
- Yeah, I need my rocket shark.
- I'll tell you what I told you the last ten times--
never!
- Well, have you reconsidered my requests
for Cherry to be my supe assistant?
- Here's my resume.
- This is just a picture of a cherry.
- I feel like it sums up my experience quite nicely.
Nailed the interview!
- I'm getting out of here
before anyone else asks me for something.
- Yo, Evelyn!
How 'bout a date?
- How about I end you?
- That's not a "no."
- Take a hint, Colosso. She doesn't have time for you.
- Yeah, she's here to give us stuff, so I was thinking--
- The rocket shark, it's like this car, three wheels--
- Enough!
- But we're contenders for the Z-Force.
Helping us is part of your job.
- Maybe I don't want this job anymore.
- Well, you're the president. You can't just quit.
- Watch me!
I quit! - Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Kids, I told you not to call President Kickbutt.
- Well, they can call you now
because you're the new Hero League president.
- Me?!
- Regular citizen Kickbutt, out!
Psst! Chloe, teleport me home.

- Did you just make President Kickbutt quit?
- And did she just make me the new president?
Kids, you need to fix this.
- I feel terrible. We didn't know she would quit.
- Yeah, we just asked her for a few things
every day, over and over.
- Well, maybe Kickbutt didn't mean it.
She didn't even send a presidential liaison.
- Hello, I'm your presidential liaison.
Hank Thunderman, I need to know
if you'll accept the nomination.
- This is insane.
Uh, sir, we need to speak with President Kickbutt.
- Oh, she's disappeared to a place
where you annoying Thundermans would never find her.
Her words, not mine.
- Don't you speak that way to the emperor's daughter.
- I don't know. It's a big decision.
- Oh, it's bigger than big.
The Hero League will be without a president, if you decline.
I'll give you some room to decide.
- Phoebe, do you realize what this means?
- We drove poor Kickbutt so crazy, she quit her job.
Am I really that annoying?
Don't answer that.
- No. Now that Kickbutt's gone,
we can get everything we want.
We just have to convince Dad to become president.
- Kickbutt did say she's not coming back.
And I do want Cherry to be my assistant.
- Uh-huh...
- And I do love making you wait for me to decide.
- And you know you want to! Come on!
- I don't know. It's a really big responsibility, honey.
- But, Dad, it only makes sense
for the greatest superhero who ever lived
to become the Hero League president.
- Oh...I wouldn't go that far.
But you can.
- And, Mom, you would make an amazing First Lady.
- Oh, I would, wouldn't I.
Once a simple farm girl,
Barbara McBooger's been picked for greatness.
- Phoebe, look at them.
Something's different. - Yeah, you're right.
They look almost...
"presidential."
- The superworld needs us, honey.
- Yeah. - Mr. Liaison?
It's time to make Hank Tiberius Thunderman superpresident.
- [laughing] Wonderful!
- NORA & BILLY: Congratulations, Dad!
- Congratulations, Max. - Congratulations, Phoebe.
- ♪
- Okay, Mr. Thunderman, after you've been sworn in,
you'll take a bite from the inaugural cake.
- Ooh, my stomach is ready to serve.
- Superpresidents have taken a ceremonial bite
from the cake for over years.
- Two hundred years old?
Hope that comes with a barf bag.
- Oh, there it is-- in that dish.
- [gasping] - I'll be right back.
I forgot to bring the Hero League handbook.
[laughing] I'm a train wreck today.
- Barb, I have to tell you something.
- You ate the cake. - I ate the cake.
- How? When? I have so many questions!
- I was coming back from the bathroom.
It was sitting there.
I thought it was hallway cake.
- That's what you're going with--hallway cake?
- I don't know. I am new to politics.
- We can't have a scandal on your first day.
You'll go down as the worst president in history.
- Oh, you're right.
No one can ever know about this.
I won't wanna be known as Superpresident Cakebutt.
- Let's begin the ceremony. - HANK & BARB: Mm-hm.
- Mr. Thunderman... - Mm.
- ...please place your hand on the Hero League handbook.
Do you swear to serve the Hero League
with the utmost honesty and integrity?
- Of course. Why do you ask? What have you heard?
I do.
- Congratulations, Mr. Superpresident!
- CROWD: [applauding, cheering]
- Get to the cake, people!
- Oh, Hank...
[whispering] We have to do something.
- Oh, uh...
Let's skip the cake.
Uh, fun fact about your new president.
I am a health freak.
- Nonsense. [slaps hand]
It's tradition to take a tiny sliver
of the three-layered, buttercream--
Oh, my gosh, someone ate the whole cake!
What? Who?
Whatever monster did this is an enemy of the Hero League!
- Mr. President, will you launch an investigation
to catch the cake eater?
- Uh, yeah, of course I'm gonna do that.
That filthy criminal will pay for eating
that buttercream cake with the chocolate spirals
and delicate vanilla chiffon--
- They get it, Mr. President.
Neither of us will rest
until we find this unknown person
who no one knows the identity of.
- Dad ate the cake, right?
- Oh, totally. - Definitely.
- Max, I'd like to introduce you to
my new supe assistant, Cherry.
- Oh, Ms. Thunderman, you have a bestie
dance break scheduled in five minutes.
- Oh, um, let's move that to now.
- [lively dance music]
- CHERRY & PHOEBE: [laughing]
- Hey, Cherry, can you, uh,
pass a message along to your boss?
You're both dumb!
- It is so cool that President Dad
approved you working for me.
- Actually, before Dad left for work,
I borrowed his "approval" stamp.
We can get anything we want.
All we have to do is stamp it with this.
- Max, how could you--
not tell me that you had this?
[clears throat] Two milkshakes, please.
[voice quivering] It's almost too much power.
- Don't worry, Phoebs. We'll use it responsibly.
- [jet engines roaring]
- That's my million dollar rocket shark!
Ah!
[gasping]
I love you, rocket shark.
You're perfect!
- I knew he'd find a new girlfriend.
- I already like her more than Allison.
- Max, take me on a ride.
I wanna go somewhere exotic--
like the moon or Bruno Mars.
- No, way. I get to go, first!
- No, me, first! - [lasers zapping]
- BILLY: Okay, you first.
- Nora, you just lasered Billy.
- Yeah, it's my thing.
- Well, our thing is protecting the First Family--
even from each other.
From now on, you have to stay ten feet apart,
at all times.
- If this involves math,
you should probably talk to Nora.
- Billy, he's saying we can't play together.
- This is why I hate math!
- Whoa, Billy and Nora aren't allowed to play with each other?
- Well, maybe some time apart will be good for them.
- Hm, make them learn to be more independent?
- No, until Billy's laser burns can heal.
Anyway, I'm gonna take the rocket shark to Australia.
- Well, Cherry and I are gonna take
Dad's approval stamp for a spin.
Uh, assistant, do we have time
for a little shopping in Milan?
- I've already filled out the request form.
- You just put giant cherries on all your paperwork?
- It's gotten me this far.
- [engine revving]
- [rockets f*ring]
- Max's new girlfriend is very rude.
- Domo arigato, SuperAmbassador.
I'll see you at the summit, SuperSenator.
I look forward to high tea, SuperQueen of England.
- Hank, here's your presidential schedule.
- [groaning] It's gonna be a busy year.
- And that's just for this morning.
- I'm too busy dealing with the cake-eating investigation
that I've called for and also am the subject of.
- Sir, I have an update on the investigation,
and, frankly, I'm disappointed.
- Oh, no, this is it, Barb.
- All of our evidence points to it being...
a wild animal.
- [laughing] Really?
Why do you think that?
- Only a rabid beast could eat that cake so thoroughly.
- Oh.
- Where was a lot of hair and saliva and claw marks--
- Okay, okay, okay.
Thank you, uh, for the update.
- Oh... - Oh...
- That was close.
- I wanna celebrate, but I still wish we hadn't lied.
- Me, too, but we avoided a scandal
and no one will ever find out.
- [cell phone bings]
- Unless an unknown stranger
sends a video of you eating the cake.
- Oh, come on!
- "If you don't meet my demands,
I'll release this video to the press."
- [chomping, laughing, garbled speech]
- Did you get some in your ear?
- It was everywhere, Barb.
Everywhere.
- ♪
- Gidday, Thundermates.
- Oh, my gosh, you would not believe
what Cherry and I did in Milan.
- Shopping?
- Okay, yes.
Nora, what're you doin'?
- Just playing checkers by myself
because I'm not allowed to play with Billy.
[whispering] Watch this.
[clears throat]
- BILLY: [zooming]
- Oh, that's pretty brilliant.
- [zooming] Yeah.
They'll never catch us, if I don't stand here too long.
- They're playing together!
Code Red! Code Red!
- What are you guys putting on them?
- Necklaces that will zap them with electricity,
if they get within ten feet of each other.
The closer they get, the bigger the blast.
- Is this a joke?
- [electrical zapping] - NORA & BILLY: Ow!
- The joke hurts.
- This isn't fair.
- You know what isn't fair?
I still live with my mother.
- You can have our bedroom, Nora.
I'll sleep in the bathtub.
- Oh, this isn't good. - Yeah.
Now I've gotta walk all the way upstairs
to use the bathroom.
- What's wrong, Chloe?
- Mommy's too busy to do story time,
so, I'm stuck with this guy.
- "Then, Super Little Bear said,
'Somebody's been eating my porridge.'"
Okay, bears don't eat porridge,
and they certainly don't sleep in beds.
- He's killin' the magic!
- [groans] Max...
all this bad stuff is happening
because we made Dad president.
- True, but let's not ignore
all the good stuff that's also happening,
like I got the rocket shark,
and you're payin' Cherry to hang out with you.
- Hey, it's not a job, if you're doing what you love.
The point is our whole family's lives
are being destroyed because of us.
- I wouldn't say our whole family.
Dad loves being president.
- HANK: [muffled sobbing]
- Do you hear crying?
- HANK: [sobbing] I'm president...
[sobbing]
Oh, hello.
- Dad...
are you cryin' in my lair slide?
- Kids, being president's making me do things
I wouldn't normally do.
But I made the decision to be president,
so, here we are.
Close me up, children.
- No matter how far I go in that rocket shark,
I will never escape the memory
of that blubbering man-child.
- We have to fix our family.
- HANK: Why me?! [sobbing]
- Fast!
This all started because we made Kickbutt quit.
Maybe we can find her
and convince her to take her job back.
- Good idea. Let's go find Kickbutt.
- Sorry, kids, but Former President Kickbutt
doesn't want you to find her.
I am authorized to use Painful Force to stop you.
Painful Force, get in here!
- Hello, friends.
- You're the guy that's gonna stop people?
- Please, don't be afraid.
I know I'm very intimidating.
- There's no way you're gonna stop us
from getting Kickbutt.
- Yeah, so, get outta the way,
unless you want the kick of the butt
to be your butt gettin' kicked...
by us.
- Phoebe, freeze breath!
- PHOEBE & MAX: Ow!
- If you try to use your powers against me,
you'll feel a painful force.
So, you guys will stay?
- Yeah, sure.
After I use my heat breath!
Ow!
- Heh, heh, what he's trying to say is...
we'll stay.
- ♪
- All right, so, in order to find Kickbutt,
and save our family,
we have to get past this Painful Force person.
Any ideas?
- We may not be able to use our powers,
but we can use these bad boys.
[chuckling]
- Oh, yeah, we'll knock him out with your stinky pits.
- Does anyone know if I can wear
this shock necklace in the bathtub?
- That's it!
We're gonna give this guy the shock of his life.
- Hi, Painful Force, I see you do Sudoku puzzles.
- I like to tease the brain.
- Billy, go!

- Are you guys okay?
- BILLY & NORA: [weakly] We did it.
- They're good! To the rocket shark!
- Hank, come on out.
I know you're in your cry spot.
- [sniffles] I'm not crying.
I just got some slide dust in my eye.
- I just got another text.
The person who has the video of you eating the cake
said to meet him in the lair.
- It could be anybody, Barb.
- Like Colosso?
- Nah, he's not smart enough to pull this off.
- I'm the blackmailer, you jerks!
- What do you want, rabbit?
- To be the Hero League's Secretary of Fashion.
I wanna outlaw dad khakis and yoga pants.
- But that's everything we wear!
- Do as I say, or the world gets to see
you stuff your face with history.
- I am not making you Secretary of Fashion,
even if it means I tarnish the Thunderman name,
and get kicked out of office in disgrace!
Oh, I can't do it, Barb!
- Just give him what he wants! We're in too deep!
- HANK: [sobbing] - COLOSSO: [evil laugh]
- [easy listening music playing]
- Okay, the rocket shark ran a global search
and said that Kickbutt's here.
- What is this place?
- Welcome to Kickbutt Travel,
where your happiness is--oh.
You found me.
- Uh, can we chat?
- I don't have time for this.
I run a travel business now for non-flying supes.
- Hi, here's my ticket to Aruba.
- Ah, the Astonishing Beach Bum.
It looks like you're about to depart.
Thanks for flying the Kickbutt skies.
[kicks butt] - Yaho-o-o-o-o!
- Whoa! - Cool!
- Uh, how do people get home?
- Well, that's their problem.
- Kickbutt, we need to talk to you.
- Please, please, please be president again.
- Oh, first you tell me I'm not doing my job.
Now you're begging me to go back to it?
- We're sorry.
You were a really great president,
and we never should have wasted your time
calling you every day.
- Yeah, we realize we were just being selfish,
and if you would just come back as president,
we promise to stop calling you.
- Except to see how things are going with Colosso.
- So...
what do you say?
- Look, the Northern Lights!
- It sounded like you said--
Ahhhhh!
- Ah, you don't need to kick my butt home.
I've got the rocket shark.
- You got the rocket shark?
[roars] - Ahhhh!
- Ahhhhh!
Oh!
- Ahhhh!

- Well, that flight was terrible.
- What's going on? - Better hurry in and find out.
- BOTH: Ow! Ooh!

- PHOEBE: Whew.
- Uh, who are all these goobers in our living room?
- Yeah, what's going on?
- Mom and Dad are having a press conference.
- Hey, Hank, Barb,
I'm real excited about being the Secretary of Fashion.
But I also want something bigger.
- Like what?
- The Statue of Colosso.
- What does that statue have to do with
you being Secretary of Fashion?
- Nothing. I just want it.
And if I don't get it,
I'll release that video, President CakeButt.
- Are you ever gonna stop making demands?
- Are you ever gonna stop
stuffing random cakes in your mouth?
I'll answer both.
No!
- Can I have your attention.
I came here to make a special announcement
regarding Dr. Colosso.

- Instead, I am going to say that
I am the one who ate the cake.
- COLOSSO: Huh?

- I'm sorry, everyone. I know I let you down.
But being president is really, really hard.
- I could have told you that!
- Kickbutt's back!
- Our eloquent plea touched your heart.
- Not even close.
The Liaison told me Hank was crying like a big baby--
on a slide.
His words, not mine.
- I said it and I own it.
- I knew I had to come back to be president--
that is, if Hank is willing to step down.
- Yes! I step down!
Oh, it's over, honey.
- It's over, baby.
- Billy, we can hang out with each other again.
- How about we go play our favorite game?
- Sure. [lasers zapping]
- Ow! I meant checkers.
