| “ | Must... Chop... WOOD!!! | ” |
| — George Washington | ||
"Twistory" is the twentieth episode of Season 2.
Plot
Timmy wishes the great American leaders into his Treehouse talk show to finish his report, but because they have vanished from history, the United States reverts to being a British colony. Timmy can't wish them back because Cosmo and Wanda's wands are taken for taxes (Taxation Without Representation). Timmy must now use his Time Scooter to get them back to their own time period to stop Benedict Arnold from creating the alternate future by getting the Americans to surrender.
Synopsis
Timmy had forgotten to write his report on the American Revolution, which is due tomorrow. His computer is too slow to come up with the necessary information, so he throws it out the window with anger.
"Everything is turning... British."
The Declaration of Surrenderpendance.
In 1776, with Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson gone, Benedict Arnold takes the opportunity to betray America. Disguising himself as Washington, he attempts to trick John Hancock into signing "The Declaration of Surrenderpendence" which will cause the people of the United States to give up to the British. Luckily, before Hancock could do so, Timmy and company arrive. Washington himself uses his own teeth to prevent Hancock from signing. Both Washingtons then engage in a fight, which may result in an even worse future for America. Timmy tries thinking. Cosmo helps by putting the candle over his head (with the wax falling on his head). Timmy then grabs a wooden coat rack to spur the real Washington into chopping it, proving that it is him to the people. Arnold is then exposed by Jefferson and taken away by the authorities. Franklin then suggests rewarding Timmy in a way. Jefferson suggests putting him on the dollar. Unfortunately, Washington's teeth and "love of all things free" broke John Hancock's writing hand and they are one signature short on the Declaration of Independence. Timmy signs his own name before returning to his time. When they get back, everything is back the way it should be. The only difference is that the cable man fixes the TV with an ax. Also, Timmy's face is on the one-dollar bill and Timmy responds with the same thing Washington said earlier. The next day, Timmy has Chester and A.J. dress up as Washington and Franklin respectively for his report. Mr. Crocker, however, is not impressed and gives him an F. Timmy states that he is history as the episode ends.
Censorship
This episode was withdrawn after it's premiere in The U.S due to the inappropriately violent mockeries of the past US Presidents. It did eventually air again in December 2016.
