Digital Detention Prank Patrol Down Under

Today, Ben joins the Prank Patrol.

His mission: to bamboozle four of his classmates

into helping trial a detention robot at their school.

But when a virus accidentally gets uploaded into its programming,

staying after school and writing out lines

is going to seem like the least of their worries,

especially when their very own headmaster gets involved.

# Here they come, they're on a roll

# When they'll strike, nobody knows

# If you have a point to prove

# They'll make a plan And see it through

# They'll sign you up To join their crew

# Scotty and the Ninjas, too

# Here we go

# Come on, join the

# Prank Patrol. #

'Did your dream prank come true?'

Sure did!

'Congratulations. You're the newest member of Prank Patrol.'

'Here is your pass to pranking.'

You'll probably also be needing this...

your Prank Jacket.

We need to do some pranking, and we need to make sure it's OK with you.

-Is that sweet?

-It's going to be fantastic.

-Let's swap cars.

Come over here.

He's into skateboarding,

fencing and, err...

private band practice...

in unusual places.

Please, Prank Patrol, I need your help.

I have four friends who are in desperate need of pranking.

The targets of Ben's prank are his four classmates.

They're generally a studious bunch,

don't mind a bit of ball sports,

and have no idea what's about to hit them.

Ben, welcome to the Prank Patrol. Great to have you here.

-What can I do for you, mate?

-Well, Scotty,

I'd like you to prank four of my classmates.

What?! FOUR of your classmates?

-Not one, not two, not three, but four?

-Yep.

Wow! This sounds like fun! I need to know a bit more about these guys.

What's their names?

Hugo,

Isaac,

Dion,

and Sham.

I need to know a bit about these guys. Who's the most well-behaved?

-Hugo.

-Who's the naughtiest or the cheekiest out of these guys?

-Isaac.

-Isaac, all right.

Or...me.

-Or you?!

-Yep.

Well, you're part of my team now,

so that's good to have you on board here.

What's the reason for you pranking them? Have they pranked you?

Isaac did once.

What did he do?

We were in history class. There was this button on our computer.

He pressed it, and it opened up this window, so I had to close it.

And I found out he pressed the button 100 times!

HE LAUGHS

So, hang on. You had to shut it down over 100 times?

I totally missed that lesson.

I tell you what, Isaac's got some SKILL!

I like his style.

Well, how would you like to put these four in detention,

-plus yourself?

-Sounds fun.

Cos we've got the perfect prank here in our top-secret

-Prank Patrol files. Do you want to have a look at it?

-Yeah, sure.

Now, what's going to happen is we're going to get you

and your four classmates to volunteer

for this brand new detention programme at school.

What will happen, though, is this detention will be run by a robot.

Now, this robot is going to keep everyone in line,

-and isn't afraid to embarrass you to do so, OK?

-OK.

Except one of your friends we'll pick which one later on

is going to accidentally upload a virus into this robot,

which is going to turn it round the bend.

This will include calling your principal

as well as ordering over 500 pizzas,

and it'll be charged on one of their parents' credit cards.

So, that's the prank. What do you think?

Sounds good.

It's going to be SO funny watching their faces.

-Do you think this is the perfect prank?

-Definitely.

We have got SO, so much to do.

We need to get into it straight away. You good to go?

-Yep.

-Ninjas, take us to the Robotics Laboratory.

For this prank to really be successful,

we need to design a super intelligent detention programme

with a mind like a steel trap.

So, it's time to visit a robotics lab

to see just how smart a computer programme can get.

Ben, I'd like to introduce you to Professor Gordon.

Why, Professor Gordon, this is Ben.

-G'day, Ben.

-Hello, sir.

Now, if anybody knows robots, it's him.

Tell him what you're doing for your prank,

and he'll be able to help us out.

We're going to be in a fake detention,

and all five of us students

are going to be led by a robot teacher.

-Robotic detention?

-Yeah.

That's cool.

So, we need to know just the basics of a robot,

cos we're going to be making one.

OK, well, look.

If you're going to build a robot, you're going to need three things.

First of all, you're going to need some sensing.

This camera might be a good sensor for a robot.

It can be things like lasers or sonar.

It's going to need a brain,

some sort of computer that can take the information from the sensor,

process it, and then decide to do something.

Really, I'm still not buying it. How smart can a robot really be?

Well, Scotty, how'd you like to challenge a robot

and see for yourself?

HE LAUGHS

-Bring it on.

-ROBOT:

-Bring it on.

OK, Scotty. You've got to go in hard, you've got to go and fast.

No mercy.

-ROBOT:

-Pawn to B5.

-ROBOT:

-Queen to H4.

Checkmate.

Ben is out to prank four of his classmates

into going to a digital detention.

He's got a supersmart computer brain,

and now it's time to assemble it into a supercool computer shell.

Ben, I'd like to introduce you to Laura, our art girl.

Now, she'll help you out making your robot for you.

Great, Ben. So what do you need?

Well, I need a robot that can prank a couple

of my classmates in a fake detention.

Cool. That sounds great.

Well, I've already sort of started making a shell of it.

But what sort of features do you have in mind?

Well, it needs a head

and, like, maybe a monitor,

so it can display some of its emotions. Anything like that.

Hang on. Before we start sketching stuff up,

I've put together a little...

Scottybot,

which I reckon will be PERFECT for the prank.

Look at him go! "Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah."

What do you think? We could just use that and save you time.

It's small.

-OK, well, we'll just go with your designs.

-All right.

Also, there's going to be a bit of a virus installed,

so maybe some smoke?

Yeah, cool. That's good.

We can install that in the body, right in here,

and then we can get it all wired up.

I think we should start building this robot,

-and let's bring it to life.

-Great.

Hang on.

We got the brain,

we've got the body.

What we need now is...

..the voice!

Stevie, how are you, buddy?

-Scotty!

-Good to see you.

-You too, mate.

-Ben, this is our Prank Patrol sound artist, Stevie.

-How are you?

-Nice to meet you.

Tell him what we're after.

We're trying to make a robot

-to prank some of our classmates.

-OK.

But it has no voice, so we need you to get us a robot voice.

Sure. I'm your man, so who's getting in the booth?

That will be me, Stevie.

Let's get you in the booth, Scotty.

OK. So, Stevie?

Why don't you give us some different variations in voices,

and Ben, pick up one you like for the robot.

-ROBOT VOICE:

-'So, you just tell me which one you like.

'You know what I mean?

-'This is a bit high.'

-What do you reckon, Ben?

-Nah.

VOICE IS MANIPULATED

'Hello, class. I'm your detention robot.

-'What do you think, Ben?'

-Yes.

-'Is this the one?'

-Yes.

OK, Ben.

So, we've got everything we need.

Laura has installed Des's voice,

so we are good to go.

-With the prank, right?

-Prank?! No!

To challenge Des...

to a robot dance-off.

Let's do it.

Ninjaaaaas?

Latest Prank Patrol member, Ben, is out to prank his best friends

into doing detention with an around-the-bend robot.

We've got our robot sorted, but there's a few more steps before our

Digital Detention is anywhere near ready to hand out

punishment to our troublemaking targets.

Ben, welcome to your Prank Location.

This is where the prank is going to go down,

and we've made this room look EXACTLY like

one of your classrooms. So, what you think?

Umm... This is one of my classrooms.

Yep. So, how you feeling for the prank?

-I'm pretty confident.

-Yeah? You're not too nervous?

-Nope.

Des, how are you feeling for the prank? Good to go?

'Des needs prank.' Good stuff.

How are the boys feeling about being on detention?

-Oh, one of them is devastated.

-Who's that?

Hugo. It's his first one.

Really? This is going to be so much fun.

All right, put it there.

Give me one of those. We are good to go.

You'll need to take that jacket off,

and you'll need to go and collect Dion, Hugo, Sham and Isaac.

Best of luck. See you soon.

It's time now for me to...

release the Ninjas.

The blueprint for Ben's prank is...

one detention classroom with naughty kids,

and, of course,

one supercool, superintelligent robot to wreak havoc.

Hope it all goes really well.

I'm sure your friends aren't going to see this prank coming.

Hi, Ben. All the best with your prank.

This is one detention that I really have enjoyed giving.

My classmates are definitely going to freak out

when the headmaster arrives!

It's going to be the last thing they expect.

-Guys, come on in.

-Welcome, gentlemen. Please come in.

It's Prank Time.

-Right. Guys, this is Mrs Matherton.

-Hello.

Ben arrives at the classroom with friends in tow.

Time to set up our in-trouble targets for their prank.

Dion.

-Dion?

-Yep.

Oh, you've got an injury.

-And what's your name?

-I'm Sham.

-Sham. OK.

And what did you do to wind up in detention?

Err... Diary failure.

Diary failure?! That sounds serious!

With the boys signed in and ready to go,

it's time to see just how digital this detention is going to get,

and whether Ben can pull it off.

This afternoon is going to actually be a digital detention.

-'Woah!'

-And what this means is...

'Does this wristband match my eyes?'

Put yourself into the classroom of the not-too-distant future.

And in this classroom, you will notice that there are no teachers...

'Brilliant!'

..But computers.

So, without further ado, let me introduce you to...

Des.

'Who pushed the button?'

ROBOT BEEPS

'I think the boys might like our robot.'

..A pilot programme means the first in a series of.

So you use a pilot programme to wire out the system,

to make sure it all works fluidly.

'Scan complete.'

Excellent.

'Good afternoon,

'Ben, Dion,

'Isaac,

'Hugo,

'Sham.'

'So far, so good.

'The boys are looking impressed.'

If everything is OK,

I'm going to leave you to run the detention this afternoon.

'With our Prank Patrol teacher out of the classroom,

'it's time the Des to get to know the boys.'

'Hello, everyone.'

STUDENTS: Hi, Des.

'First thing I'd like to do today

'is show you a video presentation about myself.

'Are you ready, students?'

STUDENTS: Yes, Des.

'Response recognition failure.

'Enthusiasm decibels too low.'

'You mean we have to enjoy it as well?'

'Are you ready?'

-STUDENTS:

-Yes, Des.

'Welcome to the Despot 3,000 Pilot Program.

'Right now, in every country around the world,

'robots are changing the way we live, the way we work,

'and the way we learn.'

'Yep, I think they're hooked.'

'At the conclusion of this video,

'Despot 3,000, or Des,

'your Digital Detention Buddy,

'will take you through a detention simulation.

'So don't forget to raise your hands

'if you have any questions.

'Hold on tight,

'because the way of the future starts today with Des.'

'Any questions?'

'This should be good.'

-How do you work?

-'Electricity. Next!

'Highly intelligent computer.

'Let's begin with a VRA,

'or Voice Recognition Analysis.'

'Time for Des to whip these troublemakers into line.'

'Speak clearly into the microphone one at a time.

'Please repeat your name out to me.

-'Ben.'

-Ben.

-'Dion.'

-Dion.

'Isaac.'

Isaac.

'Sham.'

Sham.

'Hugo.'

Hugo.

'Hugo.'

Hugo.

'Hugo.'

THEY LAUGH

Hugo.

Shh.

Too quiet!

You broke it!

'Hugo, we are failing to get a reading.

'Please say the words on my screen.'

"Mum."

'Des is getting Hugo to repeat words on his screen

'so that we can record his voice.

"You."

'A copy of Hugo's voice means we can get up to a little bit

'of mischief later in the prank.

"Whatever."

"Sinks."

-"Stink."

-"Stink."

'Why did these guys end up in detention, again?'

"Think."

BLOWS RASPBERRY

'Analysing.

'It is now time...

'to do 15 lines.

'If you need to talk,

'raise your hand.'

'For the next part of the prank,

'I think it's time for the boys to do the hokey pokey.'

'Sensors on your wristband.

'All students raise hand.

'Des can't read it.

'Please rotate wrist.

'Reading still failing.

'Please stand.'

What is this? The B sensor?

'Please hop up and down.'

# You do the hokey pokey

# And you turn around... #

'Four out of five readings successful.

'Continue lines.'

'Wait, they are looking WAY too relaxed and comfortable!'

SIREN SOUND

'Time expired.

'I will now transfer data to my system.'

'Stand by.'

What do we do?

'Transfer failed.

'Sham, please press

'tab,

'function, delete,

'shift,

'X key.'

'What?! How straightforward do you want it to BE?'

Tab, shift, function...

delete, X.

'Oh, no. Tab, shift, delete,

'function, X.

'That's the wrong command!

'Isaac and Sham have short-circuited

'the Digital Detention Computer! Let's see what happens next.'

What did you do, Sham?

'Incorrect key function.

'I don't think that's meant to happen!'

Are you serious?

'For the next part of the prank,

'we're going to send our Prank Patrol actor back in

'to get Des working again.'

Hello, everyone. How's it going?

-Good, Miss.

-What's been happening?

Well, he asked us to write lines,

but then he received an error trying to get data from Sham,

and...

he turned a very...

he turned a little bit smoky.

He turned... Pardon me?

-Smoking...

-He turned a little...

Oh!

Oh, Des... umm...

Cos he said to press, umm...

control, shift, or something,

and I did it, and he was like, "Error."

Error, error. And then this happened.

He might just need to be

reactivated. Des, how are you?

'Perfectly fine, thanks, Susie.'

Oh, OK.

If you're OK, Des, I'll leave you to finish the detention.

And I'll come back and check on you again.

-'Affirmative.'

-Affirmative. Excellent.

'Des seems perfectly fine,

'but, in fact, he's about to get a whole lot stranger.

'The next part of the Detention Program

'will be an essay.'

An essay?

'The subject of the essay will be,

"Why I Like Des."

'You have 30 minutes.

'Please commence.

'Hugo, please read out what you have written this far.'

"Why I like Des.

"Des is a wonderful robot.

"He can talk and read our minds.

"He can tell us what to do.

"He is the greatest robot ever."

'Is this kid sucking up or what?!'

'Des can't read your mind.'

Yes, he can.

'Affirmative.

'Hugo likes pizza.'

Hmm. Yes, I do, cos pizza is yummy.

'Pizza, huh?'

Can you read my one?

Are you OK, Des?

"E". "Dezzy".

You're not talking.

'I don't know about you,

'but these guys are really starting to get on my nerves.

'Time now to Crank The Prank.'

'Hugo, you are being disrespectful.

'Nobody disses Des!'

I'm sorry, Des. I was just wondering if you were OK.

'Hugo, do you have anything to say

'before I punish you?'

I'm sorry, Des, for being disrespectful.

'Punishment will commence.'

BEEPING

Here she is! Oh, no. Somebody's having a heart attack!

'Maybe more like a stomach ache!'

PHONE RINGS

Oh, it's your mom!

Oh, you're stuffed!

'Hello? Debbie's Pizza. Can I take your order?'

'Pizza, huh?'

'My name is Robert Henderson,

'and I'm the headmaster of Ipswich Grammar School.

'We are having a celebration,

'and would like to order 50 large pizzas

'for the school.'

'50?! Whoa!'

'Wow! Sure. So, that would be like...

'511.55.'

'Please ask to speak with Hugo

'for payment and delivery.'

'OK.'

'They should be there in about an hour.'

Des?

I think that punishment might have been a bit harsh.

-I don't have 500.

-I do.

'Hugo, please do not talk about me in that manner again.'

I'm sorry, Des.

'That is one paranoid android!'

'Do you think this is a joke, Hugo?'

No, Des.

No, Des.

ALARM SOUND

'What next?'

PHONE RINGS

Who's he calling now?

-'Hello, headmaster Henderson speaking.'

-'Uh-oh!'

'Hello.

'You stink.'

'Who is this? You'd better tell me your name, young man.'

FARTING SOUND

'Hugo.'

'Are you calling from school?'

'Goodbye.'

'I think someone's about to get into a heap of trouble!'

That actually sounded a bit like you.

-No, cos you copied it.

-Des!

-You know how he was like, "Say these words for me"?

-Copied and pasted it.

-'Dissent will not be tolerated.'

-I'm sorry, Des.

'Time to send our Prank Patrol actor back in

'for our big finale.'

I'm not very happy with what's been going on with this detention.

This isn't going to be pretty.

I'm not amused. I've had a very unpleasant phone call come through.

-Now, which one of you's Hugo?

-Me, sir.

Hugo, what's that all about?

I was treating Des with some disrespect, and he called you.

But which one of you is Des?

-Which one of you is Des?

-The computer.

-A computer?!

'A computer?! No way!'

..Ring people and insult them.

I think this... You already have a detention.

-You might lead to another one.

-It was Des.

Absolutely. It's a serious matter.

I will get to the bottom of it.

'Hey! It's the pizza guy!'

..Definitely is.

Hugo!

-Oh, fantastic!

-What's going on here?

And what would this be, gentlemen?

We've got 50 pizza orders for Robert Henderson.

-That's me!

-Robert Henderson is the headmaster.

511. It says to talk to...Hugo?

In administration?

Oh, Hugo! What is going on NOW?

Hugo, one minute a phone call, and now look at this!

What IS going on?

-We'll be contacting your parents to pay.

-'Des cannot explain.

'Ben, please tell us...

'what is going on.'

You've been pranked.

By the Prank Patrol boys!

You've been pranked!

You've been pranked!

You are dead!

Dead!

Basically, Ben could choose four boys out of...

Any four boys out of his class,

and he chose you four to put on a fake detention to prank you boys.

Mr McArdle's also dead.

Well done, boys. Round of applause, anyway.

You've just been pranked by the Prank Patrol...at school.

When I heard the phone call to the pizza shop,

I was really worried and questioning

that if a robot could even do that now.

My favourite part of the prank was when the robot started shaking

and smoking.

EVERYONE: Thanks, Prank Patrol. Thanks, Scotty. You rock!

No mercy.

'Hello. My name is Robert Henderson...

'and I'm the headmaster of Ipswich Grammar School.

'We are having a celebration...'

For the Prank Patrol!
