Dad's Stache Stash
Template:PatrickStarShow episode
Characters
Synopsis
Patrick finds some leftover spaghetti in the fridge, and offers it to the family to eat. Cecil is the only one who does not eat any spaghetti, which Patrick takes notice to. Cecil eats lasagna and chowder stored in his mustache. Patrick looks at Cecil in awe about his mustache, and becomes sad that he does not have one, after noticing that the rest of the family does.
Cecil shows Patrick the family "stache stash," where the Star family's ancestors have their mustaches stored. Cecil offers Patrick to wear any of the mustaches, except for one, leaving Patrick curious as he leaves. Patrick, unsupervised in the stache stash room, tries on various mustaches, going through all of them, until he sees the forbidden mustache. Patrick steals the mustache, not knowing of its effects, and becomes evil. Patrick, under the evil mustache, ties Squidina, Bunny, and GrandPat to railroad tracks.
On The Patrick Show!, Patrick does a segment with Rube, asking him his thoughts on trains. After hearing that Rube loves trains, he unleashes a trap and ties Rube to the train tracks. Patrick then performs a "magic trick," to the rest of the audience, with results in them being tied to the tracks as well. Cecil is later shown grooming his mustache, as the mustache alerts him to danger.
Cecil's mustache takes him to the train tracks, with Cecil determined to help everyone. Patrick's train arrives to run all of them over, as Cecil chases the train down. Cecil arrives on the train and finds Patrick, asking him to take off the mustache, only to be punched by it. Patrick and Cecil's mustaches get into a fight, with the train still rushing towards everyone tied to the tracks. Cecil's mustache soon ties Patrick up, and Cecil shaves off Patrick's mustache.
Patrick turns back to normal, with the train still moving. Cecil tries to stop the train, but pulls the brake off. However, he manages to stop the train just in time, with the force of his mustache on the tracks stopping the train's movement. Cecil gets the family together for a photo after they are untied. Rube tries to take the picture, but the picture only gets the bottom half of the family, as Rube gets run over by a train.
