  • - Hey, everybody!

  • And welcome to Story Time.

  • Today, orange and I will be telling you

  • the story of "Dumbo!"

  • - We think you'll agree, it's pretty fly.

  • (Orange laughs)

  • - Any particular reason you're holding a bulging suitcase?

  • - Yeah, I keep all my elephant puns in here.

  • And please don't call it a suitcase, Pear.

  • It's a trunk!

  • (Orange laughs)

  • (Pear groans)

  • Let's get to the story.

  • I think this one'll be two tons of fun!

  • (Orange laughs)

  • - Here goes nothing!

  • Once upon a time, there was a baby elephant

  • who had huge ears.

  • - Aw, why do you have to go and point that out?

  • Seems irr-ELEPHANT.

  • (Orange laughs)

  • - It's literally what the entire story is about, dude.

  • See, the baby elephant was born into a traveling circus,

  • and all the other circus elephants made fun

  • of him because of his ears and called him Dumbo.

  • - Hey, that's the title of the story!

  • - You're a sharp one.

  • - I'm not sharp, I'm spherical.

  • (Orange laughs)

  • - Ugh, so annoying!

  • - I'm not annoying, I'm an orange!

  • (Orange laughs)

  • - [Pear] Anyway, Dumbo was always accidentally tripping

  • on his oversized ears.

  • When he couldn't do any of his elephant tricks right,

  • Dumbo got demoted to being a clown.

  • - [Orange] Now we're talking.

  • Was he a scary clown?

  • I bet he was a scary clown.

  • - [Pear] He was just a normal clown.

  • The other elephants mocked him mercilessly.

  • But little did they know that one day

  • Dumbo would show them all.

  • - [Orange] Yeah, by becoming a scary clown!

  • - [Pear] No.

  • - [Orange] Yes!

  • - [Pear] No!

  • - [Orange] Yes!

  • He lurked in the night and haunted their dreams!

  • His maniacal cackling drove his tormentors

  • to the brink of insanity!

  • When he drew first blood,

  • they stopped calling him Dumbo

  • and started calling him Rumbo!

  • Yeah, yeah look at all those explosions!

  • Can you believe this is a G-rated Disney movie?

  • I sure can't!

  • - To be fair, a couple details were off in your version.

  • For one thing, he didn't become a scary murder Rambo clown,

  • he just became a sad clown.

  • - Psh, how cliche.

  • - And he didn't get his revenge through bloodshed.

  • He got his revenge by discovering his remarkable talents.

  • - Eh, your version sounds good, not great.

  • - It's not my version, dude.

  • It's how the story goes.

  • - Ooh, I almost forgot about my ele-pun trunk!

  • Hey, hey Pear what do ya get when you cross

  • an elephant and a rhinoceros?

  • - I don't know, Orange, what?

  • - Eleph-ino!

  • (Orange laughs)

  • - Yes, very amusing.

  • Speaking of which, back to clown Dumbo.

  • He was so sad that he wound up getting drunk,

  • and when he woke up, he was sitting in the top of a tree.

  • - [Orange] Wait wait wait wait wait wait.

  • That's crazy!

  • - [Pear] I know, right?

  • How on earth did an elephant get up in a tree?

  • - No, not that.

  • I'm talking about Dumbo getting drunk.

  • Isn't this a Disney movie?

  • - Yes, but--

  • - Maybe they should've named him Drunko.

  • (Orange laughs)

  • Wait, so there's seriously a scene where Dumbo gets drunk?

  • - On champagne or something, yeah.

  • He hallucinates pink elephants on parade.

  • But back to the--

  • - Whoa, you mentioned he was always tripping

  • 'cause of his big ears,

  • but I didn't know that's what you meant!

  • - It isn't what I meant.

  • - This calls for another ele-pun from the trunk!

  • - No.

  • - Yes!

  • Hey Pear, why does everyone want to employ elephants?

  • - I dunno, 'cause they never forget?

  • - No, 'cause they'll work for peanuts!

  • (Orange laughs)

  • - Hilarious.

  • Anyway, the story ends with Dumbo realizing his huge ears

  • allow him to fly, and he becomes the star of the circus,

  • and everyone who ever made fun of him winds up super sorry.

  • - [Orange] Yeah, 'cause he comes back for the last blood!

  • Yeah!

  • - No!

  • - It's either this or another pun from the trunk, Pear!

  • Take your pick!

  • - Okay, fine.

  • I pick the Rambo ending.

  • - [Orange] Yeah!

  • The end!

  • (Pear groans)

  • (upbeat music)

- Hey, everybody!
