The episode was removed and promptly re-uploaded on September 14, 2011.

== Description ==
It's a bird!  It's a plane!  No, it's a bird...  and the 12 remaining contestants of Inanimate Insanity, competing in a slingshot-themed challenge inspired by the iPhone game: Angry Birds.  The contestants slingshot, or at least attempt to slingshot, each other over a cliff.  What could go wrong?

== Plot ==

The episode starts when [[Nickel]] runs over Knife, and explains to him how he was trapped in the [[w:c:battlefordreamisland:Locker of Losers|Locker of Losers]] from [[w:c:battlefordreamisland|Battle for Dream Island]]. Knife wants to cheer Nickel up and thinks of making s'mores, so he grabs Marshmallow, sticks a twig through her, and roasts her over a fire. Nickel, however, refuses to eat her, and states that sometimes Knife "can be a real" something, his sentence cut off by the episode introduction.

After the intro, Balloon is seen talking to OJ and Bomb about how Marshmallow popped him in the previous episode. The conversation moves on to Balloon forming an alliance with the two, even though they don't understand what's happening.

MePhone4 announces the challenge, a slingshot contest, wherein the goal is to shoot one teammate to the other side of a cliff. If they fall into the gorge, they fail. The challenge starts with [[Team Chickenleg]], where Balloon is asking [[Salt]] to be a testing dummy, but Salt, being afraid of the gorge, doesn't want to. Balloon threatens Salt, stating that he and his alliance will eliminate her if she doesn't, but when he calls for OJ and Bomb, they are seen ordering Chinese food. Knife calls to roasted Marshmallow to get across the gorge since, she is the smallest; still burnt, she doesn't answer, but Knife shoots her across anyway, and she makes it.

On the other team, Salt finally agrees to go first, but when Pickle and Balloon pull the slingshot back, they suddenly trip over [[w:c:battlefordreamisland:Rocky|Rocky]] from Battle for Dream Island. Salt is flung into the gorge, causing [[Pepper]] to jump after her. Balloon yells in anger, then orders Pickle to fling him across.

[[Lightbulb]] is about to do it, but trips over Rocky and breaks. Nickel comments on how clumsy she is, and offers to be flung himself. Knife is about to shoot Nickel, when he steps on the broken remains of Lightbulb and screams, letting go of Nickel, who flies into the wall of the gorge. Balloon is then shot by Pickle, but flies very slowly.

Pickle states that he told Balloon that it wouldn't work and calls him an idiot, then says that he can get Taco across the gorge, who says "fat cakes," to which Pickle agrees, stating that Balloon is indeed fat. This annoys Balloon. Pickle then shoots Taco, who pops Balloon in mid-air while he was almost to the other side of the gorge. Pickle calls to OJ and Bomb to try and get them across, but OJ trips while holding Chinese Food, which hits Bomb, who explodes. The massive explosion blows Pickle and Taco onto the other side.

After a [[Cheese Craft]] commercial, [[Marshmallow]], [[Pickle]] and [[Taco]] have to compete in a tie-breaker, which is a tug of war contest. Because Marshmallow was roasted, she can't move, so Pickle easily wins the contest with one small tug. [[Team Epic]] is up for elimination again, but MePhone says that the fans will vote now, causing [[Fan]] to state that he's glad to be allowed to vote, before MePhone clarifies that he did not mean the type of fan that Fan is, but instead the viewers.

At the end, [[OJ]] is yelled at by [[Fan]], who says "no order for you, sir!"

*[[Marshmallow]], [[Paintbrush]], and [[Rocky]] appear; however, they do not speak. Marshmallow vocalizes during the s'more scene, where she is voiced by Adam Katz.
*[[Nonexisty]] appears; however, his voice actor is unknown.

==Trivia==
*This episode marks the first appearances of both [[Fan]] and [[Cheesy]].
*Nickel asking "how can you burn your own friend!?" is the line "how can you kill your own friend!?" spoken by [[Pencil]] in ''Battle for Dream Island''.
*This is the first episode to contain profanity. MePhone4 gives Knife immunity, he says that it is because "he was the only one on Team Epic that did anything worth a damn."
*[[Pickle]] says that he thinks he fractured his ulna while holding his eye. The ulna is actually a bone in the arm.
*When [[MePhone4]] explains the challenge, he uses the Red and Chuck from ''Angry Birds'' as examples.
*Rocky from ''Battle For Dream Island'' makes two cameos during the challenge.[[File:Rocky_in_Inanimate_Insanity.png|thumb]]
*The Cheesecraft Minecraft server no longer exists, as its IP address was repurposed.
*This is the last appearance of [[Nate Groth]] as the voice actor of Balloon. He would provide the voices of [[Minor Characters|Nick Le]] and [[Dictionary]] in the succeeding two episodes.
*Two scenes from this episode were removed from its original YouTube upload in 2022. They are:
**The receiver of Bomb and OJ's phone call responding "twenty-nine dollars, please" in a stereotypical accent.
**Fan taking back the Chinese food that Bomb and OJ ordered.
<br />

== Deaths ==

* [[Marshmallow]] is roasted into a s'more by [[Knife]].
* Chuck from Angry Birds falls down a gorge.
* [[Salt]] is launched down the gorge.
* [[Pepper]] jumps down the gorge.
* [[Lightbulb]] trips over [https://battlefordreamisland.fandom.com/wiki/Rocky Rocky] and shatters.
* [[Nickel]] is launched down the gorge.
* [[Balloon]] is popped after coming into contact with [[Taco]].
* [[Bomb]] explodes when [[OJ]]'s Chinese food comes into contact with him.

==Goofs==
*Knife is missing his right leg when tilting during the s'mores scene.
*When Salt says "okay, fine. I'll go first," the slingshot overlaps with her leg.
*At [https://youtu.be/8k7V0Z9DQbs&t=02m54s 2:54], when [[Salt]] says "that's an awfully big gorge" to [[Balloon]], there is a visual error lasting several seconds. Because this error was not present in the original upload of the upload, it can be assumed to be the product of re-rendering.[[File:Inanimateinsanityglitch.PNG|The glitch|thumb|115x115px]]
*When [[Knife]] says "yeah, I wanna shoot" during [[MePhone4]]'s explanation of the challenge, [[Pickle]] is missing arms.
*When [[Pickle]] calls to [[OJ]] and [[Bomb]], his face is lower on his body than normal.
*When [[Pickle]] is launching [[Balloon]], his arms do not actually touch the slingshot.
*When Nickel is flung from the slingshot, while he was in the air, clouds were visible, but after he faceplanted, they were not.
*When [[MePhone4]] "explains" Tug of War to the viewer, another person can be heard laughing in the background.
