Summary[]
Wubbzy always likes to rush past the boring things in life to get to the fun parts. After speeding through chores and lunch to get to a movie, Wubbzy finds out about the Wuzzleburg Floaty Boat Race. How will his haste serve him in the competition?
Recap[]
The episode begins with Wubbzy announcing that he is eager to go to the Wubb Club see the new Captain Wonderpants movie with Daizy. However, when he unravels a list of chores that he needs to complete before seeing the movie, Wubbzy is exasperated. However, he realizes that he can get all his tasks done in a jiffy by rushing his jobs. He begins by quickly tossing his laundry into the washing machine, vacuuming his grungy floor, and cramming his toys into the closet. All of a sudden, his hasty stash of laundry and toys unexpectedly burst onto the floor, making a large mess.
On his way to the Wubb Club, Wubbzy skips taking his time and sprints over to Walden's house to grab some quick lunch, but Walden has a special treat: Chocolate Moose Cake. He immediately gets inside, gulping down his macaroni and cheesy-cheese with a side of spinach to get to dessert, but Walden warns him of his rushing as he gulps down the cake as well.
Finally Wubbzy hops on over to the Wubb Club, where he sits down to watch Captain Wonderpants: The Movie with Daizy. During the opening scene, two businessmen in a city office building boringly converse. Wubbzy decides to fast forward the movie's playback to an action-packed scene, where a robotic villain has captured a woman while firing goopy lasers at the town. After Captain Wonderpants defeats the robot (by simply pushing his button), another scene begins where the two businessmen visit an art museum. Wubbzy fast forwards past that scene as well.
When the movie finishes, he hears a noise coming from outside from Widget. Wubbzy leaves in a hurry to see what is going on. Widget tells Wubbzy that she is building her boat, the Super Sailor 3000, for the Floaty Boat Race. Wubbzy is inspired to join in, so he finds a do-it-yourself boat kit complete with instructions at his house. He then builds his boat but skips reading the directions because of being in a rush. He then runs in his house to find adhesive stuff that will hold the boat together, such as peanut butter and tape.
At the Wuzzleburg Floaty Boat Race, Widget, Walden and Daizy are on a team while Wubbzy has his own boat. Widget, Walden and Daizy are waiting for the wind to change but Wubbzy immediately starts piloting his boat. Suddenly, Wubbzy's boat sinks leading Widget, Walden and Daizy to rescue him; as a result, Wubbzy joins their team. Wubbzy pleads for the team's boat to start sailing, but they explain to him that they are waiting for the wind to change. When the wind changed, the four's boat started moving. Eventually, they were able to pass the other boats while sailing. Then, the team encountered monkeys in the way and Wubbzy wanted to rush through the situation again. Shortly after, the monkeys disappeared so they were clear to start moving again. Wubbzy, Widget, Walden & Daizy then reach the finish line, winning the boat race. Walden agrees that they can still win the race by not being in a rush. The team's prize for being the first ones to finish is a big bowl of ice cream. Strangely, Widget, Walden and Daizy were in a rush to eat the ice cream as Wubbzy decided to take his time.
