Plot Overview

After avoiding a lawsuit, Dethklok decides to pursue comedy in order to avoid peaking too soon in their career. However, they realize that they are horrible at comedy and they are booed offstage by the audience; Pickles was shaken by the ordeal to the point that he became traumatized by the experience. They then enlist the help of a salty sea captain named Captain Lorkey in order to learn how to channel their inner hatred to fuel their comedy routines. Their new "Hatredy" routine becomes a huge success and Pickles decides to do comedy again after curbing his depression with binge drinking.
