- Hey, Max, we just got
invited--
- To Winnie Lee's party.
I know.
- Oh, and hey--
- My band's playing. I know.
- Oh, but wait--
- Her parents won't be there.
I know.
- Will you please stop
knowing things.
- It's annoying.
I know.
- This stinks--
Mom and Dad will never
let us go to a party
without parents.
- Phoebe, once again,
I'm way ahead of you.
Follow my lead.
Mom, Dad, Phoebe and I
got invited
to Winnie Lee's party tonight,
and before you ask,
yes, her parents
will be there.
- Yep, a couple of parents,
there all night,
bein' parents.
[laughs]
- In fact, why don't you
give 'em a call?
- Yep, we're callin'
her parents.
For some reason,
we're calling her parents.
- [cell phone ringing]
- VOICE ON PHONE:
Hello, Mr. Lee here.
- Hi, this is Hank
and Barb Thunderman.
We understand Winnie's
throwing a party tonight?
- Yeah, will you be
there to supervise?
- Of course, I will.
Because that's what
real dads do.
I'll be watching those
children like a hawk.
Caw! Caw!
Caw....call ya later.
Hello, g*ng, what's up?
- What, Colosso,
you're Winnie's dad?
- Walk away, Max,
just walk away.

Mom, Dad, we realized your right.
We shouldn't be going to a party
without adult supervision.
- Yes, so instead, we're gonna
spend the whole evening
studying at the library.
- HANK: Hold it!
- [velcro ripping]
- MAX: Oh.
- Max, were you gonna ditch
me to go to the party?
Can you--
- Yes, it's crazy.
- [velcro ripping]
- Would you believe
this is "library casual"?
- Yeah, now it's
"busted casual."
- Come on, Mom, Oyster and I
are the party band.
You could be k*lling
our careers here.
- Yeah, and Winnie Lee is
the most popular girl in school.
If you turn down one of her
parties, you're done.
Kelly Franklin did that once and
you know what happened to her?
- No.
- Exactly, 'cause she's done!
- Sorry, our decision
is final.
- What do you guys
have against parties?
- Oh, we love parties,
if they have parents.
- In fact, your Mom and I
met at a party.
- PHOEBE & MAX: We know.
- I got cold.
- I gave you my jacket.
- PHOEBE & MAX: And then
we kissed. Ew!
- It wasn't "Ew!"
It was electric.
Sparks actually flew.
- It was the moment your mother
found out she had superpowers,
so, if you think about it,
she's only super because of me.
- [powers zapping]
- Ah!
I'm nothing without you.
- I'm nothing without
that party.
- Well, looks like it's
off to the library.
- Max.
- Hank.
I know. Walk away.
- How did you know they were
wearing breakaway clothes?
- I didn't. That could
have gone really bad.
- [helicopter blades whirring]
- There's cousin Blobbin...
unless we know someone
else very rich
with a solid
gold helicopter.
- Bye! We're living with
cousin Blobbin now.
- No, you're just going
to Metroburg for the night
to meet his new dog.
- Yeah, hugs before you go.
- Blobbin!
- Hello, Thundermans!
- And now he's gonna
do his...
- Hiya! Hiya! Hiya!
[laughing]
- Kids, you be good.
You mind your cousin, Blobbin.
- Oh, don't worry.
I'll take care of them.
Hey, who wants to fly
my helicopter, first?
- I do!
- I do!
- [laughing]
You can take turns.
We'll just switch in mid-air.
[laughing]
- Ah!
Why are you down
here, Phoebe?
And why are you holding
my BrainMelt ?
- No reason.
I mean, it's not
like you could tweak it
to make Mom and Dad remember
what it's like to be teenagers,
so we could go to
that party.
- Come on, Phoebe,
that'll never--
Wait! I can do that.
If I wipe their
adult memories,
they'll think
they're our age.
- What? Really?
Max, I can't believe
you had that idea
and are solely responsible
for said idea.
- This little game we're
playing making you feel better?
- Yes. I can't be
part of this.
Now here are your tools.
- Your house is huge,
cousin Blobbin.
- I know. I find new
rooms every day.
Thank goodness
we have this map. [laughing]
Oh, look, I have a food court!
[laughing]
- We cannot wait
to meet your puppy.
- Yeah, he's the best.
His name--Doggin.
He does tricks and he's always
there when you need him.
- Really? Where is he?
- He's not here.
Before I can
officially adopt him,
the dog people need
to know that
he's getting a new home
with a happy family.
- But you don't have
a family.
- I do, if you two
pretend to be my kids.
What do you say, Blobby Junior
and Blobby-Sue?
- Wait, you brought us all
the way to Metroburg
just so you could
get a dog?
Not cool.
- Yeah, we're not your puppets.
- I'll buy you
whatever you want.
- Let's get this
puppet show started!
- [laughing]
- Oh, yeah!
- Were we too hard
on the kids?
- Never. Their job
is to listen and obey.
Deep down they know
who's boss around here.
- Now they do.
- Please let me melt
their brains.
- Melt away.
- [electricity zapping]
- Oh, my gosh!
Like what just happened?
- Dude, I'm freaking out!
Where am I?
- It worked!
- You're in Hiddenville now,
but just for the night.
- Road trip. Nice!
- Uh, yeah, you guys have
this whole house to yourself.
And get this--no parents.
- Oh, totally rad!
- Fridge raid!
- This is reversible, right?
- [scoffs] Now you're
asking me that?
Relax.
Of course, it is.
- Oh, cute hair.
I love this braid thing.
I'm Barbie.
- I'm Max and this is--
- Weird!
- Whoa, you guys have
a butt load of ice cream
and I'm one hungry
Hankosaurus Rex.
[screeching]
- Oh, that Hankosaur guy
is such a loudmouth.
I mean, why is he
even here?
- I thought he was
your boyfriend.
- Oh! As if!
- Anyway, Phoebe
and I gotta go.
I'm playing
a party tonight.
- I'll bring the ice cream.
- Actually,
it's invite only.
- Harsh.
- See ya.
- [imitates airplane
zooming]
- I'm gonna need some sunglasses
for all this bling.
Much better.
- You asked for it
and I got it.
Well, I paid someone
to get it.
From the Metroburg
supermarket.
- BOTH: Spazzberries!
- Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh!
These'll make you
really, really hyper.
You'll get them after
you get me my dog.
- [doorbell rings]
- That must be the dog lady.
Remember, I'm your dad.
- Got it.
And I'm Blobby-Sue.
- [smacks arm]
- I mean, Blobby Junior.
- Oh, hello, Mrs. Rubin.
Welcome to my wonder--
- Let's cut to the chase.
Sit!
- [gasps]
- I'm not a big fan
of you superheroes.
You're always dressing
up my doggies
and putting them in danger.
- What?
No. No.
[laughing]
I would never do that.
Never. Would I, boy?
No, I wouldn't,
Doggin, no, I--
- [spraying water]
Heel, boy, heel, boy, heel!
- [coughing, sputtering]
- His name is Spot.
And he's not yours
until I'm certain
that this is
a happy home.
- Oh, yes, of course.
Let me introduce you
to my little angels--
[gasps]
- BOTH: [hyperactive giggling]
- Oh...Oh...
I thought we said we'd save
them for later.
- I couldn't wait!
They were so purple and juicy!
- Spazzberry!
- [groaning]
- We're almost at
Winnie Lee's house.
This is gonna be
so awesome.
- Party, here we come.
- [excited chatter]
- Party, there it goes.
- [cell phone music]
- Uh, Phoebe, the party
got moved.
- Moved to where?
- [dance party music]
- This is our house.
- Uh, Barbie,
what's goin' on?
- [laughing] So like you
wouldn't let us
come to your party,
so we totally
threw our own.
[squeals] I hope your
parents don't mind.
- Yeah, wherever those
losers are.
[laughing]
- Par-tay!
- Oyster, no!
- That was...
nice!
- ALL: [hooting, cheering]
- [dance party music]
- [screeching]
- Well, Phoebe...
you said you wanted our parents
to be teenagers again.
- Yeah, but I didn't
want Mom dancing
and wearing my clothes?
Remind me to burn those.
- [straining]
[laughing]
- At least, he's not
wearing my clothes.
- [velcro ripping]
- Ah!
- Add that to
your burn pile.
- [sighs] We need to turn Mom
and Dad back into adults
and shut this party down.
- Phoebe, what happened
to your parents?
It's like you sh*t them
with a "cool" ray.
- I shoulda used
the "cool" ray.
- And, look, your mom's
even dancing with Winnie Lee.
- Winnie Lee? She's here?
- Mm-hm.
- Max, change of plans.
We have to keep
this party going.
You guys need to start
playing now.
- Rock 'n Roll, brah!
- She was talking about
me and Oyster.
- Harsh.
- Count us down, Oyster.
- Two, three, four.
- [rock music]
- ALL: [cheering]
- I'm spazzing out!
[zooming]
- I'm spazzing out, too.
[powers zapping]
- [self-conscious laughter]
- Do you really think
this is a good home for a dog?
I wouldn't even
let a cat live here.
- Wait. It's not my fault they
ate a bunch of spazzberries.
- Didn't you give them
the spazzberries?
- Don't blame our fake daddy.
- Billy!
- I mean our cousin daddy.
Totally saved it.
- I think we're done here.
- Wait!
Let me say goodbye.
Goodbye, Doggin.
[whimpering]
- Quit slobbering.
- He can't help it.
- I meant you.
- Oh.
- Come.
- ♪
- [camera shutter clicks]
- This is going so well.
- I know.
Your social life is set.
- Um, our social life
is set.
- BOTH: [squealing
excitedly]
- Check it out, girls.
Barbie found
someone's journal.
- Actually, Max likes to
call it his "thought book."
That's my "thought book."
- Whatever.
If you don't want
people to read it,
you shouldn't leave it
locked in a drawer
inside your locked
bedroom. I mean...
- "Dear Diary...
can you have athlete's foot,
if you're not an athlete?"
- GIRLS: [laughing]
- Gimme that!
- BARBIE: [gasps]
- Oh, my Gurd, Phoebe!
Grabby much?
- Hey, you're not cool.
You need to respect
people's privacy--
especially in front
of Winnie Lee.
- Um, don't tell me
what to do.
You're not my mother
and Winnie's my girl. Boom!
- [song ends]
- ALL: [applauding, cheering]
- MAX: All right, all right,
all right.
This next song's called...
what is my father doing?
- HANK: [laughing]
- Dude, I don't think
I know that song.
- Hey, hey, hey,
you can't go down there.
What are you doing?
- Makin' bank, brah.
A dollar gets you
a ride on the party slide.
Woo!
- That's not a party slide.
That's a layer slide.
- You're a layer slide.
- [palm slap]
- Aw...
- [dance party music]
- No, no, no, no.
Hey, don't touch that!
Don't push that!
Don't mix that!
Hey, stop launching those
rockets into space--
on my video game
that couldn't possibly
launch actual rockets
into space.
Oh, my BrainMelt!
Hey, gimme that!
Why isn't this
thing charged?
Oh, who plugged
their phones in here?
That's it, everyone out.
Don't make me get my parents.
- ALL: [laughing]
- Hey, everybody!
Mr. Thunderman's breaking
stuff upstairs.
- ALL: [cheering, hooting]
- Oh, now you leave.
- Oh, dude, can I charge
my phone here?
- Out!
- ALL: [chanting
"Hankosaur! Hankosaur!"]
- [screeches]
- ALL: [cheering,
applauding]
- [palm slap]
- Dude, your dad's
super strong.
- Super? Nah, there's nothing
super about my dad.
See? Anyone can do that.
[bones crunch]
See?
[laughing]
My hand's hardly broken.
- Max, thanks to Mom,
Winnie's never gonna invite me
to another party again
and Dad's about to expose
our secret.
- That you have
athlete's foot?
- I'm talking about--
That secret!
We need to turn Mom and Dad
back into grownups,
so they can end
this party now.
- Definitely.
Right after Oyster and I
play our last song.
- [electric guitar twanging]
- All right, let's end
this party.
- Where's your BrainMelt?
- Downstairs charging.
- Great!
- But it needs four more hours.
- Not great.
We don't have four hours.
Wait, the story of Mom
and Dad's first kiss.
- What? Are you trying to make
this bad night even worse?
- No, I'm trying
to save it.
Mom and Dad's first kiss
was electric.
We could use it to supercharge
the BrainMelt .
- Can't we just stick
a lightning rod to it
and hope for the best?
- Come on, it's
just one kiss.
We've just gotta get
them together.
It shouldn't be too hard.
- We doin' this?
- Oh! As if!
[stomps foot]
- [groans]
- You were saying?
- Waaa, Doggin. Why?
- Pull yourself together,
Blobbin!
- Why should I?
Doggin's gone forever.
- No, he's not.
The dog lady's coming back.
- Why would she do that?
- To give you
a second change.
We also stole her keys.
- And her brush.
My hair has never
looked better.
- I'm pretty sure
that's a dog brush.
- Oh, I know.
- [doorbell rings]
- It's her! Now man up
and get your dog back.
- I believe I left my keys.
- Did you know you
also left behind
the world's best
dog owner?
Because that's what
Blobbin will be,
if you gave him a chance.
- Chances are like
belly buttons.
You only get one.
- Her story checks
out, guys.
- I believe those are mine.
- DOG: [whimpers]
[barking]
- [powers zapping]
- [leash snaps]
- Oh, I love you,
too, Doggin.
- Spot, heel!
- Come on, lady.
How do you say no to that?
- Like this.
Spot, come!
- [growling]
[barks]
- That's dog talk for
b*at it, bossy.
- Fine. Keep him.
But let me say this--
- ALL: [growling]
- Okay! Okay!
- Oh, Billy, Nora,
how can I ever repay you?
- Money works.
- I have that!
Yah!
- Why are we down here?
The party's upstairs.
- Because this is
the VIP lounge--
for the cool kids.
- Yeah, we thought
you guys would wanna
come down here
and hang out.
So, hey!
We've gotta recreate
the first kiss.
Right. I'll make it cold.
You take him this jacket.
- Okay.
- Someone looks chilly.
- Oh.
Good lookin' out.
- It didn't work.
Don't you have some kind of like
love potion or something?
- Why ask me?
Ask all my girlfriends.
Of course, I don't
have a love potion.
That's why I'm in a band.
- This is just
like you, Max.
You get us into this and then
you can't get us out.
- Hey, melting their brains
was your idea.
- Oh, I just planted the seed.
You ran with it.
- Who runs with seeds?
I'm a villain,
not a farmer.
- Are you crazy?
You could have--
- Hey, Blabbermans,
you're missing the fireworks!
- [electricity zapping]
- Gross! It's happening!
- Get the BrainMelt.
- Oh, good idea.
I'll puke in that.
- Give me that!
- [electricity zapping]
- It's charged!
- [electricity zapping]
- Why are we in Max's lair?
- And why am I wearing
Phoebe's clothes?
- Max, is that
your BrainMelt?
- [gasps]
Did you melt our brains?
- I can't lie to you, Dad.
Phoebe did it.
- What? It was
both our idea.
We...We wanted you guys
to remember
what it was like
to be teenagers,
so you would let us
go to that party.
- We let you go
to that party?
- You guys threw
the party.
- That's right, party's over.
Everybody get out!
- Keep it moving!
Come on!
- I hope you
like parties...
because you're going to
be at all of them.
Boom!
- BOTH: [excited
squealing]
- Total rave, dude.
Hankosaur, we hittin'
the water park tomorrow?
- Out.
- Sorry our parents
had to ruin all the fun.
- PHOEBE & MAX:
Thank you!
- [mini-vacuum whirring]
- BARB: Phoebe? Max?
We're hungry.
- Yeah, we want breakfast!
- All right, we get it.
We wanted you guys
to be teenagers,
you're gonna act
like teenagers.
- That's right.
Now make us breakfast.
- Yeah, and then clean up after
us and give us money.
- Okay, we're not
doing all that.
- You should totally
kiss me, Hankosaur.
- BARB & HANK:
[exaggerated kissing]
- Breakfast coming
right up!
- [helicopter blades whirring
- Oh, look!
It's our two kids
who didn't melt our brains.
- HANK: Oh.
- Hi!
How was your night
with cousin Blobbin?
- It was awesome and we learned
some valuable lessons.
- Very valuable.
- Yeah, we had so much fun.
Though, not as much fun
as you two.
