Sing Beans is the second half of the 4th episode of the 1st season. It first aired on November 16, 2007^[1].

Synopsis

It's dinner and a show when the gang stays up all night to cook the musical Sing Beans.

Plot

This episode begins with a customer requesting Sing Beans for a musical act. Mung Daal and Chowder take the beans back to the kitchen to prepare them with Shnitzel. After preparing the beans, Mung explains that in order to ensure the dish cooks properly, the trio must stay up all night to watch the pot as it boils.

To pass the time, Mung suggests telling jokes. He tells a weak joke, and Shnitzel tells a risqué joke (that Mung refuses to explain to Chowder). When it's Chowder's turn, his joke telling is so bad that it bores the other two to sleep. Upon hearing the beans making noise, Chowder takes it upon himself to check them to see if they are done. However, the beans taste terrible, and their singing is awful. To remedy this, he spends the rest of the night teaching them a wonderful new song.

During the final rehearsal, the beans escape the pot, and Chowder chases after them. The beans sing their way all across the city, unite all the people of Marzipan in song, and are subsequently eaten by a dog. Later at the show that evening, Chowder, Mung Daal, Shnitzel, and Truffles are forced to fill in for them. The audience is not happy with the performance.

Fourth Wall Breaks

• When Chowder sings his song about beans and tooting, Mung has Shnitzel carry in the next scene quickly.

Quotes

• (Chowder draws a straw on an easel because of the straw drawing contest the three are having that looks like a squiggly line)
  Mung Daal: Ooh! Good straw, Chowder! That's gonna be hard to beat. Let's see yours, Shnitzel. (Shnitzel reveals a perfectly drawn straw in a styrofoam cup) No, no, no! That's terrible! I don't even know what I'm looking at!
  Schnitzel: Radda radda radda radda!
  Mung Daal: Fine. I'll show you mine. But just to let you know, I didn't know how to draw a straw. So I drew you drawing a straw. (a picture of Shnitzel drawing on his easel with the word "nerd" and an arrow pointing to him)
• Mung: Your turn Shnitzel. (after he told his not-so doozy joke)
• Schnitzel: Radda radda radda. (pointing at Chowder) Radda radda.
• Mung Daal: Oh I'm sure it's perfectly fine to tell around small children. Go on go on.
• Schnitzel: Radda, radda. Radda radda radda radda radda radda. (zooming to his face while smirking) Radda radda radda. Radda radda radda radda!

• Chowder: (referring to jokes the three are telling): Ooh! My turn! I've got a good one! So a duck walks into a restauraunt - no, wait, I think it was a hyena... definitely a hyena. ...No, no, a duck. So a duck walks into a restauraunt, and orders a steak - or was it spaghetti? No, that doesn't sound right.
  Mung: (sighs)
  Chowder: Maybe it wasn't even food he ordered. Could've just walked in their to get a glass of water. (Shnitzel is seen drooling) I don't know. Let's just say it was steak. (smiles) So get this! The hyena says to the waiter, "Put it on my bill!" (symbol crash) No, wait, it was a duck. You know what? Let me start all over. (Mung Daal and Schnitzel fall asleep and yawn.)

Trivia

• The customer is very reminiscent of the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz.
• Mung Daal can’t draw a straw but can draw Shnitzel very well?
• Mung throws a clock with a chain into the pot, saying that he is giving it "flavor." This is a reference to rapper Flavor Flav, who normally wears a clock on a chain around his neck during performances.
• This is the first puppet credit sequence without the phrase "Ya' don't know what you're missin' if ya' aren't in the kitchen".
• The moon eating up the sun to become nighttime is a reference to Pac-Man.
• It is unknown if the customer who ordered the Sing Beans went under after the poor performance by the catering company.
• This episode prominently features John DiMaggio's voice beyond his usual dialogue of Schnitzel's "rada rada"s, as the booming baritone voice in the Sing Bean choir. Some of the other main cast's voices can be heard in the song as well.
