JS Show (2021) Episode 1 - Search Squads

This is the first episode produced as an episode of the 2021 reboot of JS Show. This was produced by Studio Eclipse (not official) and takes place after the cancelled second episode of the 2019 series.

 Plot: 

It starts off with Alarm Clock and Blue V Buddy waiting for Laptop to arrive at their location in a forest. They were thinking about how the show was cancelled beforehand but then as they think about it, Laptop comes out of nowhere and disrupts Alarm Clocks' train of thought. Laptop tells the two that he's planning on restarting JS Show again after only a few days of thinking. Cinder Block appears out of nowhere to complain and Laptop responds in confusion since he doesn't know how he got there so suddenly. Zoon Player does the same thing and Laptop is more serious towards him about how he wants no interruptions. Afterwards, Laptop tells everyone that he's restarting the show and looks around for more of the cast he had before. He doesn't see most of the cast in sight. Stress Ball also comes out of nowhere and is disappointed with Laptop since he knows the show might get cancelled again, in relation to how most object shows get canned after their first episode. One thing to note is that this takes place in its own universe and is seperate from our own, but it has most of its similar characteristics and laws like Earth. The most simple example would be how some of the cast has seen an object show broadcasted to their televisions before back in their home residence. Laptop reassures Stress Ball that it won't get cancelled and will go just fine, but Cinder Block thinks otherwise. Laptop then gives the people near him their first challenge, where their objective, in teams of 2, is to find the rest of the cast from the previous show that were teleported around the island as a result of the cancellation.

We cut to the cast figuring out their plans on a beach. They all split up into twos, with Blue V Buddy and Alarm Clock being one of those teams. The rest of the teams are Zoon Player and Cinder Block, and since Stress Ball doesn't want to do the challenge with Sticky Note, he decides to stay instead. He does tell Sticky Note where one of the missing objects might be, aka 3DS. He tells him he might be on Mt. Archipelago, a mountain located on the island they're competing on, and Sticky Note goes on over. It then cuts to Traffic Cone in the forest when he suddenly bumps into Blue V Buddy. He apologizes for being in the way, but Traffic Cone says he's fine. Blue V Buddy reminds him that there's a new show happening and that he's here to fetch him. Traffic Cone is kind of apalled at the thought of another show, wondering if it'll make him stay longer on the island. He tells Blue V Buddy about how he ended up where he is, and he was originally in a hole in the desert biome before wandering off to the forest. It cuts to Zoon Player and Cinder Block talking about Pineapple, and how she originally was mysterious to them both even before the previous show got cancelled. Cinder Block comments about Pineapple and how he doesn't understand who she is.

It then cuts to Pineapple herself relaxing on the beach, the same one as Stress Ball. She gets up and notices him closeby and runs towards him in pure happiness before coming to the realization that she might crash into him, and tries to stop running but crashes into him anyways. Stress Ball and Pineapple have a talk about how they found each other, where Pineapple tells him that she ended up on the beach suddenly. He shows her a coconut that he found on the beach and throws a can over to her.

It cuts to Blue V Buddy and Alarm Clock walking with Traffic Cone where they talk about Laptop's intentions with them on this new show, but Alarm Clock and Blue V Buddy don't believe what he's saying which makes him go on a rant about how they're oblivious to the fact that there's something larger at play happening. Traffic Cone eventually gives up and goes with them both to Laptop.

It shows Sticky Note's adventure into the forest to find the mountain he was looking for, Mt. Archipelago. He looks at the three mountains located in the area and tries to think of which one to go on next. But then, Blackberry Juice comes out of nowhere and reminds him that he's close to where he needs to go. Before he can explain his story of how he got to where he is now, he's cut off by the disappearance of Sticky Note as he's going up the mountain by the time he starts explaining. He gets to the top of the mountain 10 minutes later, and finds 3DS waiting for him at the top with his shades on. Sticky Note kind of ruins his fun by explaining how there's a new show happening and his disappointment is inevitable......... they both go down the mountain with Sticky Note's trusty parachute, and then once at the bottom, he tells Blackberry Juice to start running with them.

Blue V Buddy encounters Remote, and is surprised to see him, Alarm Clock, and especially Traffic Cone again after all that time. Traffic Cone comments that he still notices the glitching in his voice, and he knows that very well. Alarm Clock explains to Blue V Buddy that only one of them can win the challenge, and so they both think about it and Blue V Buddy gives the win to Alarm Clock. It shortly cuts to Cinder Block and Zoon Player where they talk about each other and their reputation, to get to know each other a bit in specifics. After their convo, it cuts to Laptop as people start showing up, with Alarm Clock coming in with Remote and Traffic Cone, giving him 2 points. Though, Blue V Buddy is confused as to why there would be points involved right at the end. I mean, Laptop being in a chair all challenge definitely gives a reason as to why nobody knowing about that rule being implemented. Zoon Player comes back and doesn't have anyone with him, so he gets no points. Cinder Block complains to Laptop about the rules and he responds with the simple "listen to me and you'll be fine" reply.

A few minutes later, it shows everyone being at Laptop's location, and he goes over the points. Alarm Clock gets 2 points, Sticky Note gets 2, and Stress Ball gets 1 point. The contestants aren't really too happy with the results as there was a clear lack of clarity with the rules. Alarm Clock even points it out, but not much is said about it. For some odd reason, even the contestants brought back were put up for elimination, most likely due to them not being a part of the challenge beforehand, though the challenge was revolved around them... anyways whatever. Pineapple is with Cinder Block in the bushes and comments how she might be up for elimination as well. It cuts to black. The episode ends.

 Trivia: 

This episode took 11 months to produce. This should've been way shorter but you know, production stuff.

There's a VHS filter applied to the whole episode to give it more of a retro aesthetic.
