Fortune Teller Prank Patrol Down Under

Today Paul joins the Prank Patrol Road Trip. His mission?

To convince his friend Josh

he's been cursed by a mystical fortune telling machine.

'You are cursed.'

We'll send Josh into a total spin-out,

as he tries to lift that curse.

# Here they come, they're on a roll

# Where they'll stop, nobody knows

# If you have a point to prove

# They'll make a bond 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. #

How beautiful is Perth?

Ferris wheel!

Hey, mate. How ya goin'?

-Sorry, mate. With hair like that, you'd be a hazard.

-I can't go on?

No.

-That was mean! Oh. How was it?

-It was awesome.

-Yeah?

Cos I wanted to go on it, but they were, like, no, because...

your hair's, like, too big, and they wouldn't do it and stuff!

-Pardon?

-Oh. Do you want some popcorn?

-No, thank you.

-Hang on a minute. Is your name Paul?

-Yeah.

-As in Paul that wants to prank his friend Josh on Prank Patrol?

-Yes!

-Dude, you're the newest member. Congratulations!

-Awesome!

Yeah, you're gonna need this - your Pass To Prank.

And this, your official Prank Patrol Road Trip jacket. Pop that on.

How you going, Mum? All right if I take Paul pranking?

Fine. Have a great time.

Fantastic! Paul, before we hit the road,

-I just wanna try the ferris wheel again.

-No, let's get pranking now.

But, I've always wanted... I just want to...

-This is not the end of me, ferris wheel!

-See ya! Have fun!

It's just a ferris wheel.

This is our prankster Paul.

Paul's a science buff and he loves sport, too.

Hi, Prank Patrol. I need your help to prank my best friend Josh.

It's gonna be so much fun.

Paul's out to prank his buddy Josh.

He's an athletic type, who's not afraid of a challenge.

In we hop.

Paul, welcome to our Prank Patrol spy campervan.

Great to have you on our road trip. Are you excited to get pranking?

Sure am. Let's get started.

-So tell me all about Josh.

-We've been friends since pre-school.

We like piano, swimming and, most of all, we love gaming.

So he's a good friend. Why choose him to prank?

He's just really fun to be around.

Let's talk pranks. So, he likes computer games?

-Yeah.

-We've got this amazing one in our Top Secret Prank Files.

-Wanna hear about it?

-Sure!

In this prank you and Josh go to a warehouse with your dad

who wants to hire some arcade games for a party.

-Sounds like a cool party, right?

-Yeah.

Except while you're there you come across an old fortune-telling game.

This fortune teller tells Josh that he is cursed,

and from that point, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong.

Games explode at his touch!

We then get Josh to do pretty silly things to lift the curse,

ending up with a big scare for him.

-How does that sound?

-Sounds great.

-Perfect prank for Josh?

-I think so.

He will truly believe his luck is the absolute worst!

We've got heaps of work to do, so let's get buckled up

and, Ninjas, let's hit the road!

CRAZED LAUGHTER

So, Paul's picked the Fortune Teller Prank.

To make this prank totally believable,

we need an expert to show us how to build a fortune-telling machine.

Hope we have good fortune! Geddit?

All right, Paul, welcome to this amazing workshop.

-Have a look. What you do think?

-Looks awesome!

Every little bit and bob we need to build the best fortune teller EVER.

But, more importantly, it's got Rich, our art guy here.

He knows everything about fortune tellers.

He's meant to meet me here now.

-He won't be too far away.

-I'll just wait...

-Scotty, what's all this racket?!

-Rich! My man! Good to see you!

-Hey, mate.

-So, Paul, this is Rich. Rich, Paul.

-Paul, how are you?

He is our Prank Patrol art department extraordinaire.

Now, Rich lives, breathes,

and sometimes even eats fortune-telling machines.

-This man! Rich!

-Do you have any examples?

-I do, mate. If you wanna have a look?

-Sounds awesome.

There's different fortunes from different cultures.

Like the eight ball and the fortune cookie there.

-The old love test stuff.

-Too, like, lovey!

-That looks good.

-Now THAT is what I am talking about!

What about that bit there? What is that...

So, shall we start building it?

Sorry.

I've got good news, guys. We've already made a jump-start on it.

What do you think?

I can't wait for us three to get our hands dirty making a fortune teller!

-The three of us?

-Yep!

-I can't have you in the workshop.

-You're terrible with tools.

-What?

-And you're clumsy.

-I'm not clumsy.

That's... I've got the BEST idea ever!

We need someone to make the fortunes.

So, you guys do the hands-on stuff and I'll do the important bit!

-The creative stuff.

-OK. As long as you're FAR away.

-Exactly what I was thinking. See you soon.

-See you, Scotty.

-Ouph!

Fortune-teller machines were around in the early 1900s

in amusement arcades.

They were mainly made up of big glass cases with a puppet inside.

Upon receiving money, the puppet would talk,

and the machine would spit out a card

with a prediction of the reader's fortune.

WELL, WELL, WELL! HAVE I GOT FORTUNE-TELLING GOLD HERE OR WHAT?!

-Why are you shouting?

-WHAT?!

-Off.

Sorry. Ohhhh...!

Look at this fortune-teller cabinet.

-You guys have done a stellar job on that.

-Hey, guys.

Here's our fortune teller that'll go in the machine. What do you think?

Looks great. It's freaky.

-What'll Josh do when he sees this?

-Freak out.

-That's what we want!

-Do you think you could make the mouth move?

-Rich, can that happen?

Good news. I know a robotics expert.

-Why don't we go see him. I'm sure he'll can help us.

-Guys, high 15!

Here's a simple recipe. But you'll need a partner in crime.

All you need is a rubber monster mask, some scary movies,

and your friends.

Invite some friends over to watch some scary movies,

turn the lights down to make it even scarier.

Halfway through one of the movies, have your partner slip outside

and slip on the rubber monster mask. Then...

very slowly, edge themselves into view at a window close to your TV.

Scary fun for everyone!

And so our fortune teller prank is well under way.

The fortune teller looks a treat!

But we need to breathe some life into it.

We need to see it talk all by itself.

All right, guys. Here we are.

-Hang on, Richard, is this the same workshop we were in before?

-Yeah.

So why did we hop in the van, drive around and end up at the same place?

Scotty, you were making such a mess,

I had to get you out for five minutes.

Who's there? Who dares disturb me?

-Hi, Rodney. Just me and my mates Scotty and Paul.

-Of course.

Hi, Paul. Hi, Scotty. I'm Rodney.

Richard, when you said an expert in robotic heads,

you didn't tell me it WAS a robotic head!

HARRHH! I was controlling the robot head.

I knew that...! I knew what was going on!

So, Paul, this is Rodney,

he's our Prank Patrol animatronic and robotics expert.

-What's animatronics?

-It's like this head here.

It's the technology used in movies to bring animals to life.

Well, we've got this puppet here and we thought, if it's OK,

-you could make the mouth move when it talks.

-I'm sure I could help.

We'll open the head of your fortune teller and fit a motor inside.

Same in a remote control plane.

That'll allow us to move the mouth up and down.

I'll get you to fit this servo for me.

Get you to hold that.

Fit that in here against there. Excellent.

Now we'll hook this linkage up, which connects the mouth. Excellent.

We'll plug in the transmitter.

And it should work. Excellent.

I love Scotty.

-You done and dusted?

-Yes.

-Let's see it.

That is amazing!

So once we put this inside, it'll look like a real fortune teller!

OK, it's all done. All in its box.

It looks like a real olden-day fortune tellers.

Except we're missing the most important bit - the fortunes!

So, wait there...

During the prank, the Ninjas will be in here.

They'll give you the fortunes, so... have a read of that.

-"You have good luck."

-Yeah-heh-heh! OK, I'm gonna get out of here.

-You are a bit clumsy.

-I'm NOT CLUMSY!

I'm not CLUMSY! Stupid robots...!

It's like the robotic head made me do it anyway.

Why don't the robots have to wait outside? I hate the robot...

You didn't hear that about hating robots...because I LOVE robots!

And I love a robot dance!

Yeah. Sorry... uh... Oh, sorry... er... Guys?

ROBOTS PING AND BLEEP

Guys, you're crushing me. Guys! Let outta here!

LAUGHTER

Ninjas!

LAUGHTER

Oh, blimey!

What is it?

Hmmmm...!

Don't touch that. Move along. Move along.

Toxic. Very toxic. Move along, move along.

Quick, quick.

Nothin' to see here. Nothin' to see.

Quick quick, move along.

Pass. Stop. Pass.

Excuse me! Excuse me! Back! Back!

'Ere! You're crazy!

MAD LAUGHTER

Paul's fortune teller prank is all ready to go.

So it's off to the prank location to put the finishing touches

to our bad luck prank. Well, bad luck for Josh, anyway!

Oh-ho-ho! Paul, welcome to your prank location.

This is where we're gonna be pranking Josh,

with all these games inside this warehouse.

Our fortune teller is over there. what do you think? Looks cool!

Exactly like our plans.

I want to introduce you to someone who will help in your prank.

-Prank Patrol actor Michael. Michael, Paul. Paul, Michael.

-Hey, Michael.

Michael will play Chris, the technician of the warehouse.

So how do you want Michael to play the games technician?

I'd like you to be very serious. And also be nice at the same time.

Sorta like...

-WHY?! It's not your fault, mate. But WHY?!

-That will be perfect.

Don't have too much fun with all the games.

-It'll be hard.

-It's serious business. Good luck. See you later.

No worries. Bye, guys.

Paul, we've put in the hard yards. We're just about good to go.

-But we are missing one thing.

-Josh!

-Josh!

We've gotta call him, make sure he'll come along. Come with me.

OK, Paul, it's time to give Josh a call.

Make sure he can come to the arcade warehouse.

-Do you know what you'll say in the phone call?

-I sure do!

Fantastic. Let's call him... and I'll talk to you afterwards.

-Hello?

-'Hello.'

-Hi, Josh.

My dad's hiring some arcade games, I thought you'd like to come along.

-'Awesome! I'd love to come.'

-It's gonna be wicked! See you soon.

-My man, put it there!

-Well, we've got everything we need now.

But we've one more thing to do. It's time to release the Ninjas!

Our blueprint for Josh's prank includes - lots and lots

of arcade video games, one of which is set to explode.

Lots of balloons.

And one large fortune-telling machine with fake fortune teller.

We're gonna be giving Josh the worst luck of his life!

It's Prank Day!

Paul has brought Josh along to a video game warehouse.

His dad is looking to hire some arcade games for a party.

I'm all set.

If they could see into the future, they wouldn't be knocking!

Wear these jackets for health and safety.

-Give you the big one... Er, you're picking up some rental stuff?

-Yeah.

All right, no worries. He's in the office around the corner.

I'll just take Dean round to the boss.

-Are you guys good, if I leave you here?

-Yeah.

Don't touch any of the machines.

-I'll be back in a second.

-'Don't touch? Aw...!'

All right, sorry, guys. My name's Chris. What was your name, mate?

-Paul.

-Paul.

-Josh.

-Josh. Good to meet you.

-So, do you guys like computer games?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-'Who doesn't?'

So we get old machines in, fix them up, and rent them out for parties.

-Which I guess is why your dad's here.

-Yeah.

'Here's Paul's dad and Josh's mum ready to help.'

This is for this machine here. Stand in the box, Josh.

-This is a safe distance.

-This machine here... This is probably...

-'Oh, cool!'

-You guys seen one of these before?

These are super-super-old, and they had these at fairs and stuff.

People would put their money in, and they'd ask it questions.

Sometimes the machine would be right, sometimes not. Usually wrong.

But they wanted the little fortune card. Like in a fortune cookie?

It tells you what's going to happen to you.

-So, do you want to have a go?

-OK.

-'Go on.'

We have to use the coins that came with it. It's SO old.

-So, do you want to have a go, Paul?

-OK.

-Just chuck a coin in.

There's a little mirror inside and if it can see you, it'll answer.

But if you get out of this box, it won't answer,

cos it thinks there's nobody there.

'Did they have that technology then?!'

-I can predict your future.

-'Spooky...!'

-VOICE-CHANGER:

-What are your three questions?

So ask it three questions. Any three.

What's my pet's name?

Your pet's name is...

Smokey.

-'How did it know that?'

-Is that right?

-Yes!

-That is so awesome! Ask it another one.

-What's my favourite sport?

Your favourite sport is...

swimming.

-Is that right?

-Yes!

-This is SO cool! Ask it another one!

-A simple one.

-What's my favourite colour?

-Your favourite colour is...green!

-Is that right?

-Yes!

-This is awesome!

Now it should spit out a fortune card. There it is, look.

In the bottom there. What does it say?

"Joys and riches yet untold, all because of this card you hold.

"You'll be blessed in every way, good luck in yours from today."

-'Great fortune!'

-Sweet!

That's what people liked - good fortune. That's a really good one.

-You want to have a go, Josh?

-OK.

-'Now the real pranking starts.'

-It's cool.

-I can predict your future.

What are your three questions?

-Ask it any question.

-What is my name?

What is your name?

-Josh.

-'That was an easy one Josh.'

-That is sweet!

So awesome. I can't believe that!

-What's my dog's name?

-Your dog's name is...

-Rocco.

-'Second one right.'

So your dog's name is Rocco? So cool!

What's my favourite colour?

Your favourite colour is...

-..blue. Blue. Yes.

-'Phew. Got that one too.'

It's never got three right before. Is there a card yet? There we go.

Took us ages to build this back up. Replaced all the hinges. Everything.

Come back where it's safe. In the box here.

What does yours say?

"Clouds of misery and doom Follow you from room to room,

"All your life will now be hard, Here's a curse on a bad luck card."

-'Uh-oh. Not good.'

-I've never seen it put out one of these out before.

I thought the cards were all good luck. We didn't put in any bad ones.

-'That sounds worse!'

-This was an old gimmick from the '30s and '40s.

Olden days. Don't worry about it. It's just a machine.

-You're not worried are you?

-No.

-'Are you sure, Josh?'

-Do you guys want to play some games?

-OK.

-These all work now, so...

-OK.

'I've got a feeling this isn't going to end well.'

See how you go on that. It's one of my faves.

Is it working? Doing anything?

-What's that noise?

-It's not working.

Dead credit. It says at the bottom, credit zero.

It was working this morning. These should all be on unlimited credit.

-If you just grab those handles.

-'Here we go.'

Anything?

Wait... No.

That's really weird, it was working this morning.

I just finished playing... FIZZING

'Uh-oh! Has that curse kicked in already?!'

-What was... Did you grab anything?

-What did you do, Josh?

-No.

-'It's the curse! And a smokey one at that.'

-Did you do anything?

Touch any handles?

Two weeks! Took two weeks to build that. Aw, man...!

That's 4,000 bucks! The boss is gonna kill me!

-You want to try a different one?

-'Are you sure that's a good idea?'

You play pinny for now. We'll try this one here? It's working.

-Don't worry, it was old, mate.

-'You seem a little unsure, Josh.'

Try this one here.

This one actually takes two players, so you can play at the same time.

I had this on this morning, so it's working fine.

Well, it was working this morning.

Everything seems to be working, then not working.

-'I wonder why that is, Josh?'

-I'm having the worst day...!

Aw, man! I worked on this for two weeks!

All right, let's look at this one. This one is new.

It's been working this morning.

CRACKS AND FIZZING

'Oh, no. What have you done now, Josh?'

-Can we get out?

-'You want to leave?'

-Oh, my God.

-Can we get out?

No, this is OK. We're probably actually safer in here.

This one here, I know is fixed up.

'Looking a little bit intense, Josh.

'Maybe a little uncertain?'

Can you chuck them on this table for us, please?

'Balloons, now? What's going on?!

'Somehow I don't think Josh is in a partying mood right now.'

Maybe we should get out, because everything's getting ruined.

No, it's all right, but I gotta go call the boss.

We gotta cancel this whole order. Hang out with Paul.

-Let's go on the pinball machine.

-OK, pinball.

-You should be safe.

I'll go tell the boss to cancel this order. Man...!

-Do you think it's the curse?

-No.

-What your card was?

-No.

-'No! Of course not!'

-"Joys and riches yet untold

"All because of this card you hold.

"You'll be blessed in every way.

"Good luck is yours from today."

-And yours said, "Clouds..."

-Shut up.

'I don't think he wants to be reminded.'

-I can predict your future!

-It opened its mouth. Shall we see?

'Who turned that on again?'

I can predict your future!

-Ah, this has started working.

-What's it doing?

-It started working again.

-Did you put any coins in it?

-No!

-No!

Josh, you are cursed. Josh, you are cursed.

It's OK, it's all right, all right.

Look, it's in here - "Good Fortunes, Bad Fortunes, Curses."

-I thought it was just silly rubbish.

-'It is! Prank Patrol rubbish!'

..You are cursed.

Wait, no, this is... All right...

All of you are cursed!

Jump back in here.

"In the event of a curse complete the three following steps

before the curse becomes catastrophic.

-'Isn't it already catastrophic?'

-"Recite aloud: Skor Lotap Knarp."

Skor Lotap Knarp. You ready?

-Skor Lotap Knarp.

-Skor Lotap Knarp.

'Prank Patrol rocks backwards!'

"Clap your hands three times, touch your head, knees and toes."

OK, really loud. Let's make it really loud. Clap three times!

Heads...knees...toes.

Clap louder.

-'Bossy!'

-Clap.

Heads. Knees. Toes.

-'Well done!'

-Lift your hands in the air,

turn around three times, then howl.

So, hands in the air, three times. One...two...three.

THEY HOWL

'Good howling.' Faster.

-'You can do this, fellas.'

-One. Two. Three.

THEY HOWL

The curse is almost lifted.

'Almost?'

To complete the process,

I have a riddle for you.

So listen closely.

Put your hands up to your ears. listen.

I can see the future,

and your fortune to be,

-but to undo this curse, don't look at me.

-Look away!

Josh, only you can make this curse end

so close your eyes and count to ten.

-'That's easy!'

-One, two, three...

-Louder, louder.

-Four! Five! Six!

Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!

Try it in the fortune teller's voice. He can't hear, or something.

-One. Two. Three.

-'Good fortune teller's voice!'

-..Five. Six. Seven.

-'Oops, time to go!'

This isn't working. He's not doing anything.

-Wiggle your fingers!

-One. Two.

-Jumping, turning!

-Three. Four.

-'You were born for this, Josh!'

-Six. Seven. Eight.

-Nine. Ten.

-Erm... Uh...

-What's happened?

-I just... It all just went nuts!

-What do you mean?

The fortune teller... It was...

Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing?!

What do you think's going on? Paul, what's happening?

You've just been pranked by the Prank Patrol!

Pranked by the Prank Patrol, Josh! What'd you think was going on, mate?

I think the prank was a success today

because Josh really got shocked

and I just loved how he reacted to the sparks on the machine.

I got pretty freaked out.

-It was an awesome prank.

-But I'm glad it's over.

-Cos you know I said I hate robots?

-Yeah.

-I HATE robots!! Ugh!

Scotty! S-S-Scotty!

ARRGGH!

ROBOTS... Arrgh! Noooo!

Nooo! Don't!
