Bad News Bakery Prank Patrol Down Under

Today, Nichola jumps aboard the Prank Patrol Road Trip.

Her mission: to trick her friend Grace

into thinking she's a one-person disaster when it comes to baking.

She will totally destroy a bakery

and after this prank probably won't eat bread ever again.

Let's hope she can RISE to the occasion!

Here we go!

# Here they come, they're on a roll Where they'll stop nobody knows

# If you have a point of view

# 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! #

Well, once again, folks, we've worked our way

on the Prank Patrol Road Trip from the sunny and fertile soil

of South Australia to the wondrous expanses of Western Australia.

It's been a long trip, plenty of stops along the way.

We've been here, we've been there and sometimes we've been lost.

No matter where we go, people are only too happy to shake the hand

of the greatest and most awesome TV personality

in the history of the world ever, yours truly.

So Perth, here we come!

Cupcakes! Cupcakes!

Get your cupcakes while they're nice and cheap!

-Come on!

-Get your cupcakes!

-How're you doing, fine people of Perth? The first one's free.

-Please!

-Enjoy.

-Ugh! What is in this? They're disgusting!

-It's just...

Ninja beans and flour.

-Hang on a minute, is your name Nichola?

-Yeah.

-As in Nichola applied to prank her friend Grace?

-Yeah.

Congratulations, you are the newest member of Prank Patrol.

-Here's your Pass to Prank.

-Cool!

-But you also need this.

Not another gross cupcake.

You'll need your official Prank Patrol Road Trip jacket.

-Pop that on.

-Thank you!

Mum, we need to go and pull some serious pranks on Grace.

-Is that cool with you?

-Great!

-Fantastic. Ready to go?

-Yeah!

-Before we do, Mum, help yourself to as many cupcakes as you want.

-Ugh!

-Let's go! See you later, Mum!

-See ya!

-Bye!

Into the van!

This is Nichola.

She's a normal schoolkid, who's a champ on the field,

an expert on the range and a chef in the kitchen.

But I don't think she'll make the London Philharmonic.

Hi, Prank Patrol. My name's Nichola

and I want your help to help me prank my friend Grace.

Our Prankee is Nichola's best friend Grace.

She's crazy about the outdoors, playing dress-ups

and caring for her guinea pig Jamie.

But sometimes she feels like the guinea pig in Nicky's cooking.

Nichola, welcome to our Prank Patrol Spy Camper Van.

-Great to have you here. Are you excited go get pranking?

-Yeah.

You can call me Nicky.

Sweet. Sounds good to me.

So basically, this is where all the magic happens.

And where we plan our pranks. That's also when the magic happens.

Then we pull off the pranks and more magic happens.

It's kind of like when the guy pulls the rabbit out of the hat -

full-on magic.

-What were we talking about?

-The prank.

-Right.

So you're pranking your friend Grace.

Tell me all about Grace.

Well, she's really fun and quirky and funny and a great athlete.

-And she's a great friend.

-So why pick her to prank?

I decided to prank her because I really want to see her reaction.

And you guys are the best in the business.

Oh, you're too nice. Put it there.

So this is the first time you guys have pranked each other.

How will she react?

I think she is going to say,

"Nichola, I am so getting you back for this."

Sounds fantastic.

WE need to start planning how we're going to prank Grace.

Any ideas at all? What could we do?

-She likes cooking.

-I like cooking too. Check out my bacon.

How good's that?

Would you like to set your prank in a bakery?

-Awesome!

-We've got one here. It's called Bad News Bakery.

We send you and Grace along to get a job

helping out at a bakery.

Except this baker is a championship cake-maker

and the pressure is on for you guys to help win the title,

-but of course, everything that can go wrong does go wrong.

-Awesome.

-Sound like fun?

-Yeah!

There's a malfunctioning conveyor belt spitting everything

and it all ends with Grace exploding flour all over the place

just as the judges arrive for the cake championships.

-Sound cool?

-Awesome!

-This one?

-Yeah!

-Perfect prank for Grace?

-Definitely.

You and I have got a lot of work to pull it off

so let's finish up our bacon.

Ninjas! Let's pack up the Spy Camper Van and hit the road!

I love bacon.

So Nichola decided on Bad News Bakery.

To get a big bang out of this prank we're going to have to employ

some pretty awesome special effects.

So first off is to visit Michael, our art department guy.

Hopefully he'll have lots to show us,

unless he's CRUMBLED under pressure!

-Get it? Crumbled? Michael, old chum, how are you, mate?

-How're you going?

Good to see you.

Nicky, this is Michael, our Prank Patrol builder extraordinaire.

-Michael, Nicky.

-Hi, Nicky, nice to meet you.

-You too.

We're doing a massive prank on Nicky's friend Grace.

We're doing it in a bakery.

We need to make a massive mess with some special effects.

-Can you help us out?

-I've got some great stuff organised

-if you want a look.

-Yeah!

So, Nicky, this is our air cannon that we're going to hide away

in the explosive flour.

I've just packed it in here with all this flour and rice.

-And that's going to allow it to shoot up and go everywhere.

-Awesome!

It's hooked to an air compressor and we just simply turn a switch

and it's going to go boom!

-Easy-peasy.

-Michael, can we test this out?

Sure can. This is our detonator. Hold onto that. Don't press it yet!

-We'll step back because this is going to go everywhere.

-Sweet!

I'm looking forward to this.

Here we go in three, two, one...

LOUD BOOMS

-Oh, awesome!

-Let's go check it out.

-Yes!

-How cool was that?

-That was so cool.

-That was ridiculous.

What will Grace do when she sees that?

She is totally going to freak out.

Fantastic. That's the reaction we're after.

Michael, that was awesome, but we need something a bit more messy,

a bit more gooey too. Any other tricks up your sleeve?

Oh, absolutely!

It is a really easy, simple chemical reaction.

I've got bicarb of soda and vinegar, together they produce carbon dioxide

that bubbles and froths and makes such a big mess.

You know what I'm going to ask now, don't you?

Can we test it out?

Sure can.

Pour these together. On a count of three - one, two, three!

Whoa! Cool!

-That is brilliant.

-And that mixing is going to make a big mess.

Although we set up our experiment with a safe household chemical,

please don't try this at home.

-Reckon that's good for the prank as well?

-Definitely.

-Michael, thanks for helping us out.

-No worries.

-Catch ya later.

-All right.

-Ugh!

-Take care, mate.

-Have a good one.

-See ya.

-See you later.

Running out of good pranking ideas?

Well, stick to the basics for today's sweet recipe,

the old switcheroo.

All you do for this prank is empty out a salt shaker

and instead fill it with sugar.

Then empty a sugar container and replace it with salt.

Put them back in their original positions and wait.

In the morning, be ready for Dad

when he puts what he thinks is sugar in his coffee

or your sister when she puts what she thinks is salt on her eggs.

Since their tastebuds will be expecting something

completely different, they'll be totally grossed-out.

So our massive special effects have been created.

This is going to be the messiest prank ever.

But we've got more work to do to get our bakery prank ready.

We've got to keep on moving.

We're on a roll. Like a BREAD roll?

Geddit?

Right.

Thanks for coming, everyone.

I'm sure you're all wondering why I've brought you here today.

-A little.

-In the prank there's going to be a conveyor belt.

Cupcakes coming off the conveyor belt,

and Grace will put icing on top.

Except the conveyor is going to speed up,

cupcakes are going to come out faster and faster.

It's going to end up being a complete disaster.

That sounds awesome.

Yeah, but where do we get a conveyor belt from and how do we use it?

I don't know.

Hm...

Oh! I think I'm having an idea!

Ta-da!

OK, Scotty, you look great in leg-warmers, but I don't get it..

Well, we can use the treadmill as a conveyor belt

to shoot the cupcakes off it.

-Oh!

-The first thing we need to do, though,

is practise firing cupcakes off the treadmill,

which means we need a target.

Where can we get a target?

Um, target, target, target...

What can we use as a...? Hey, what're you doing?!

-You guys ready?

-This isn't what I had in mind.

I thought we could use a dartboard or something with a target.

Ohhh! Missed!

Stop!

Thanks, guys.

It's such a shame wasting all these cupcakes. I really feel like cake.

Cake?! For me? You know what?

You guys aren't that bad after all.

LAUGHTER

Ugh! Ninjas?!

-Hey!

-Ugh!

You're so funny!

Eurgh!

Pleased to meet you!

So our Bad News Bakery prank is all set.

We've got exploding flour, messy mixer and flying cupcakes.

But there's no time to LOAF around!

We've got to get to the prank location.

All right, Nicky, welcome to your prank location.

This is where your prank is going down.

I've been hit with bread,

so you can't be too careful, because we're in a bakery.

We're all clear.

Check it out, we've got stuff everywhere here. What do you think?

It's awesome. It looks so much like a real bakery.

-Cos guess what?

-What?

-It IS a real bakery.

-Isn't this fantastic for your prank?

-Awesome!

You're not doing your prank on your own today.

I want to introduce you to one of our Prank Patrol actors.

This is Michael, who's playing Brian, the head chef.

-Brian, this is Nicky.

-Hello, Nicky. Nice to meet you.

How do you want him to play his character?

When you play your character,

you have to be really serious about winning the cake title.

Serious about winning. Ohhh!

-And very proud of what you do.

-I can do very proud.

But whenever anything goes wrong, get really, really upset.

(SOBS WITH RAGE)

-Perfect.

-That is brilliant, Brian.

I'm coming in at the end as the cake judge of your prank. Sound good?

-Yes!

-Okey-dokey. Best of luck.

-See you later in Prank Time.

-Thank you, Scotty, thank you, Nicky.

We've put in the hard yards for this prank, but one thing's missing.

-What's that?

-Grace.

-Exactly.

Give Grace a call and make sure she's cool

-to come along for the prank.

-Definitely.

-Come with me.

-Awesome.

OK, Nicky, it's time to call Grace and invite her to the bakery.

-You know what you're going to say?

-Yeah.

-Feeling nervous about the call?

-No.

-You're a natural prankster.

Good luck and I'll talk to you afterwards.

-Hi, this is Grace.

-Hi, it's Nichola.

-Hi.

I'm going for some work experience in a bakery.

It's one of my mum's old friends. Want to tag along?

-Say, "Are you in?"

-Are you in?

-Yeah, I'm in.

-OK, see you there.

-All right, bye.

-Bye.

(LAUGHS) Well done!

-How do you reckon that went?

-Awesome.

-Fantastic.

-There is one more thing we need to do.

-What's that?

This is the best bit. It's time to release the Ninjas!

The blueprint for Nichola's prank is...

a very competitive baker, an overflowing mixing bowl,

one misbehaving conveyor belt

covered with far too many cakes for Grace to handle,

and some blasting flour which is going to blow the baker's prize

at the cake competition and leave us all stuck in dough.

We're excited about it. It's been hard to keep secret.

It's going to be so exciting. Grace is not going to believe what happens.

-She's going to be fantastic and you're going to be great.

-Go, girl!

The thing I'm most nervous about in the prank

is Grace finding out that it's a prank.

I hope she doesn't so I can see the reaction on her face.

It's Prank Day.

Nichola has asked best mate Grace to meet her at the bakery

where she scored a job for them both.

But instead of cash, these two might just get caked in dough.

Grace, pop this on for me. Fantastic. OK.

Pop this jacket on as well so it keeps you all nice and clean.

It does get a bit floury at times.

I've a feeling things might get a bit sticky too!

I'll just take your parents through to the back to sign some forms.

-I'll be right back.

-OK.

-Wow, lot of flour.

-Yeah, I know.

-A big bucket of it just there.

-It'll be more than just a bucket soon!

As I said, my name is Brian.

I am currently the Australian bakery specialist champion.

To get here you have to be one of the best bakers in the country,

which I am.

Modesty prevails, I see!

For the last three years I've won this award.

There are three categories to this award.

You've got to excel in cupcakes, gingerbread men,

and sponge cakes.

-Sponge cakes?!

-I've done three.

-Yeah?

-No-one has ever won three before.

In a row. I'm going for number four.

-Go for gold!

-The judging is next week,

and I need all hands on deck today

so that I can get as many bakes happening

in order to really just sort of come up with best stuff I can

for next week's judging.

First of all, we need to take the oath, the baker's oath.

Take the roll in your right hand, high above your head,

nice and high.

-With this bread roll...

-(GIRLS) With this bread roll...

-I pledge myself...

-I pledge myself...

..to the creation of good breads...

..to the creation of good breads...

-..and cakes.

-..and cakes.

-And also rolls.

-And also rolls.

And other assorted products.

-And other assorted products.

-Nice work, girls!

-Kiss the roll. Mwah!

Kissy-kissy!

OK.

That's how my Aunty May eats anyway!

Fantastic! Give yourselves a round of applause.

-OK, now, sponge cake.

-Yeah!

-Sponge cake, you ready?

-Yeah!

-Fantastic.

Going to need the mixer, going to need some ingredients...

Nicky, could you grab the flour and the water?

Whoa!

So what I need you to do is put the flour into the bowl

then we're going to close the mechanism

and then we're going to add the water after that.

I'll go and grab a couple of other things, I'll be right with you.

Just keep it churning. I'll just get the baking things to put it in.

-OK, I'll just pop that in.

-Time to rev up the recipe, prank style!

-Brian? Brian?

-Uh-oh!

Brian?

That's not a sponge cake! You'll need a sponge to clean up, though.

-It spilled!

-Eh?

-It spilled!

-What did you do?

-We just poured the water in.

-It was her fault.

It's not supposed to do that.

That's...

Did you do anything different or unusual?

Nichola said to pour it in.

-She poured it all in.

-Did you shake it?

No, just poured it all in.

OK.

So, um, yes, I have an idea.

Shall we do some cupcakes?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Yes?

-We love cupcakes.

-That's what you said about sponge cakes!

The cupcakes come out of the oven here.

-They'll come through at any time.

-How about right now?

As one comes out, turn it over,

-prepare the stuff...and pop it on the side.

-Just a dollop like that.

Right.

-There's one.

-There we go.

You push the nozzle to the sides. Can you take over here for me?

I want Nicky to come and help me

get some more ingredients for the sponge mixture.

I'll come and show you the storeroom.

On Prank Patrol, you always need to worry

when you get left alone to do something.

Uh-oh! Slow down!

Someone step on the accelerator?

Oh, no, stop!

Oh, no, help!

Nichola!

Whoops!

Nichola! Brian! There's kind of too many cupcakes!

Slippery!

-Grace, what's going on?

-It's going too fast!

-Are you OK?

-What have you done?

-Turn off the machine! Now!

He's not going to like this.

What happened? Girls, what's been going on?

-Um, it just went out of control.

-Out control?!

These are my award-winning cupcakes! I can't...

-Whoops!

-The icing's on the wrong side of that one.

Can we grab a whole bunch of these and put them over on the...

-Just grab 'em, girls.

-Like this?

-I hope you washed your hands, girls.

I want to eat them later.

Oh, no, what a disaster!

First the sponge cake, now the cupcakes.

It's like I'm being sabotaged!

Sabotage? Understatement of the year!

I just need to find one that isn't wrecked.

-This one?

-It's not too bad.

I think we might have a winner here.

Out with the bad energy and in with the good.

THEY CHANT

-Well, at least they're in key.

-Release. OK, we're feeling good.

-I feel good, and you know what that means?

-I hope it's some cake!

I want to share something with you.

A secret recipe that I have.

A family recipe that goes back ages.

Ages? That's like when our parents were kids, folks!

It's to do with the sponge cake. I have to entrust you with a secret.

-You can keep this for me?

-Yup.

Over here we've got a very special kind of flour.

-It's imported from Canada. Cost me 300 a bag.

-That's steep for flour!

-50,000's worth of flour.

-Pricy powder, folks!

And we keep it right here.

I like to keep it close to me because it can be a little volatile.

Volatile?!

-Does that mean, like, boom?

-Yeah. It's called blasting flour.

Blasting flour?

You only need a pinch, but it makes your cakes rise to perfection.

-But you have to treat it gently, because it could...

-Boom?

-Explode? A bit like yeast.

-I do insist that everyone...

Safety first, folks!

-This is a safety precaution.

-Grace?

Put those on, you're all good.

OK, so we've got our regular flours over here,

and this is our special recipe,

so you can see everything you need, plus one pinch of blasting flour.

And I mean it, just a pinch, OK? But I trust you.

You've gone a great job today. We've had a few hiccups.

Every baker has a bad day. That's why they call it the baker's dozen,

when they make 13, in case the first 12 are awful.

-Sounds like a waste of dough.

-'Brian? Phone.'

Thanks. Coming!

So it's half a cup of plain flour...

One teaspoon of salt.

Three-quarters of a cup of self-raising flour. Here you go.

Now one pinch of blasting flour.

-Grab it from the bucket.

-Remember, just a pinch.

-One pinch, no more.

-This couldn't be the most accurate method.

That's about right.

Come round here.

-Over there?

-Yeah.

FIZZING

-Did you hear that?

-What?

-I heard something.

-That doesn't sound good.

-Hold on, folks.

-All right, what's next?

SCREAMING

Oh, dear.

What on earth...? 50,000's worth of flour!

-Lucky that's only exploding flour!

-What happened?

Oh, dear, you've blown it now, girls.

-The judges!

-The judges?

-They're on their way right now!

-Oh, boy.

We'll have to get this place cleaned up!

-Ohhh! Oh, no!

-Cupcake catastrophe!

That's much better!

-Hey, Brian, hi.

-Not the judge!

We have the appointment for this afternoon. Hello, girls.

-You're early!

-We had this time scheduled, Brian.

This is looking a bit... unprepared.

-We've had one or two setbacks.

-Yes!

-Just a few!

-I'm busy.

-Nichola to the rescue.

-You know what this time of year's like for me.

-We have this.

-One cupcake?

-It shouldn't have too much blasting flour on it from...

the explosion.

Yuck!

Brian, what have you been doing? Brian, come on, grow up!

-I'll call in the chief judge.

-Not the CHIEF judge!

It's all right, girls, this is not your responsibility, it's Brian's.

What's going on?

HE SOBS LOUDLY

What's been happening in this kitchen?

-Um, well...

-Nicky, what's going on?

-Grace?

You've been pranked by Prank Patrol!

You've been pranked by Prank Patrol!

My favourite part about pranking Grace

was seeing the look on her face at the very end.

I had no idea the place would get trashed as much as it did.

Nichola! It's kind of too many cupcakes!

When it was speeding up, I thought I was in so much trouble.

Girls, that was a textbook prank. Well done to both of you.

Oh! Not again!

Scotty, are you OK?

-Hang on, wait.

-What's going on?

-I'm having... I'm having a feeling.

I've never felt this feeling before,

but it's like it's... I think I'm having a...

-Oh!

-I think I'm having an idea!
