Plot
Edit
The episode starts with Janitor Poopatine cleaning the bathrooms of Galaxy Hills Elementery School. Suddenly, Fanboy and Chum Chum, who had a Mud War, slide in and discover a golden door at the end of the room. Poopatine tries to tell them it's forbidden, but they don't care. They then discover a golden toilet with a plunger on it. Poopatine then tells them that's the Plunger of Power, and better ones can pull it out than them. But Fanboy pulls it out and after repeatedly putting it back and pulling it out, a set of three toilets, known as the Custodial Council, arrive to greet them. They tell Poopatine that Fanboy is the "chosen one" and make him the King of the Janitors. Chum Chum joins in as his Court Jester, and Poopatine has to be his tutor. Later on, Poopatine tries to tutor King Fanboy like all others do, but King Fanboy would rather do his own things, such as scraping a wall, sprinkling sawdust in Poopatine's face, and burning a door. So, he asks King Fanboy and Court Jester Chum Chum to wax the floor. However, King Fanboy gets an idea and uses 365 layers of wax to make it last a whole year. They wind up freezing Kyle under the wax as a result, but the other kids enjoy it. Poopatine then walks onto a section of wax that's not dry yet, and begins sinking. King Fanboy trys to pull him out with the Plunger, but he begins to sink, too. Suddenly, a garbage fly pulls them up, and King Fanboy sees it as the real King of the Janitors. The Custodial Council agree to this, and after a wall incident, King Fanboy resigns his title and Court Jester Chum Chum plays one final song to the audience, while Poopatine is forced to repair the wall. The episode ends here.

Trivia
Edit
- The title is a spoof on "The Sword in the Stone". The plot is also similar to it.
- The Custodial Council is introduced in this episode.
- A gag in this episode is Court Jester Chum Chum playing a jingle. He does this approximately 5 times.
- Kyle does not speak, but he is heard moaning under the wax.
- This is Janitor Poopatine's biggest role yet.
Continuity
Edit
- The sticker Poopatine wanted Fanboy to scrape off the wall is Yo's "In Yo Face" sticker from "Prank Master".
- The music played during the montage is the same as Chum Chum's nose montage music in "Pick a Nose". It is later heard in "Frosty Mart Dream Vacation".
Goofs
Edit
- Kyle's a wizard; he would've teleported himself out of the wax at an unseen time.
- When Chum Chum is zapped with the plunger during Fanboy's pep talk, he doesn't have his jester hat on.
- On the title card, Chum Chum is wearing glasses instead of his mask.
