"Boyz on Da Run (Part 1)" "Boyz on Da Run (Part 3)"
Episode list

On a news broadcast, news reader Ron Shepard speaks of how the boy band Dem Boys From Yo' Cul-de-sac (DBFYC) were once loved, and how after the incident that happened at their first global simul-cast, the world can only get over this once they are caught. A train driver hears this broadcast, and he stops his train. He finds the band in one of railroad cars, and assuming they are hobos, he lets them stay. When Skylar tells him that they are a boy band, he kicks them off. The other band members become angry at Skylar for telling him. Cameron starts an argument and calls Skylar a "momma's boy" and Skylar starts dialing his cellphone to tell his mother, but Donny prevents it, telling them that now is not a good time to start fighting. As the band members are hungry, they decide to get food from a nearby diner, but on entry the owner assumes they are new employees that she has hired. The band members are given jobs, however, because the people the owner employed were highly recommended to her, they aren't told how to do anything. They decide to play along with her so that they can get something to eat. In the kitchen, they see food that they need to prepare, but they have never cooked before so they do not know what to do. After seeing their "master" giving them encouragement, they do a song and dance helping them prepare the food. They take cooked food out to the customers, and at the same time their failed performance is aired on television again. The President of the United States then delivers a message, telling all Americans that "these musical traitors" need to be hunted down and brought to justice. DBFYC then run out of the diner, chased by a raging mob. At the end, on the screen it flashes "To Be Continued..."

"Boyz on Da Run (Part 2)" "Too Many Robots"
Episode list

DBFYC crosses the border to Canada, and as soon as they do, the mob turns around, agreeing not to cross the border themselves. DBFYC then makes disguises from trash in a nearby trash can. A few minutes later, three Canadian Mounties come and welcome them to Canada by giving them gift bags. After dancing, they get put in jail until they can "learn some respect for the leaf" (Ricky was moving the leaves on his hands upon his chest). Then they are given five plates of food, one for each of them, but a lumberjack in the same jail cell as them takes all five plates of food, leaving DBFYC nothing to eat. Later, they try to escape by dancing out after Cory appeared in the form of a rat, but fail. After DBFYC is done dancing, they think they're free, but then realize that the only thing they danced out of was their disguises. The other person in their jail cell then realizes they're DBFYC, tells them that they're his favorite group, and that he can dance too. He then tries to show them, but falls and hurts his toes, and falls down, which creates a big hole in the wall. DBFYC then escape through the hole (the lumberjack rolling them like logs), and then cross back to America. But as soon as the they do, the mob starts chasing them again. Then Frankie asks Ricky "Was that really you in the mustache?" Shorty McShorts Shorts is a Disney Channel animated television series, which consists of 5-minute shorts. ...
