Shark Attack is the first half of the fourth episode of the first season.

Synopsis[]

Adam and his friends gets bullied by Bull Sharkowski.

Plot[]

Adam fails his stalking class, when his stomach gurgles, throwing off his predator. When Mr. Hornbill inquires about this, he says he hasn't had lunch yet.

At lunch, he complains to Jake about never playing as the predator in stalking class. Just then, Lupe flies into the cafeteria, warning everyone about Bull Sharkowski. Adam, being fairly new to the school, doesn't know who "Bull" is and is told he's the school bully. Bull's previous target victim, Chucky Seal, left the school after being sent to the hospital, meaning Bull is on the hunt for a new victim. Now every student is in fear of taking Chucky's place. Windsor observes that Bull is simply going through adolescent angst, but when Lupe reminds him about what he does to people, he dispenses logic and allows his fear to overwhelm him. Adam dismisses any fear of Bull, who instantly walks through the doors and takes his lunch, since he was the only one who dared approach him.

With every coming day, Bull steals Adam's lunch, seeing him as the perfect target for food. This goes on until he starves. Adam gives in and realizes there's no escaping Bull. He makes a giant plate of mayonaise sandwiches and as he tries giving it to Bull, he slips in a puddle of mayonaise, and flies through the air, knocking over Bull in front of the entire school. The students see this as Adam taking down the school bully, and cheer for him, before realizing that he's now considered the school bully. Everyone throws their lunches at him and runs away, yelling "Don't hurt me!" Adam loses all his friends except Jake and makes himself the most avoided person in the school. Every time Adam talks to one of his old friends, such as Slips, Lupe, or Ingrid, they run away screaming and giving him their lunches or wallets.

Later on, Adam checks up on Bull, who is equally depressed with not being the bully, since everyone else gets to walk all over him. Now that Bull is no longer intimidating, the other students are either annoying friends who can't leave him alone, or are treating him like garbage and not feeling obligated to apologize, since they now see themselves are superiors to him.

Adam tries to make Bull the bully again, by forcing him to steal his lunch. However, when he does, Bull tries to make Adam steal his lunch. They both fight about this, until Bull slips in mayonaise and lightly bumps into Adam's arm as he falls over. Adam pretends Bull just gave him the beating of a lifetime and calls him a bully, giving Bull his old bully status back and himself his friends back. Adam is happy that things have gone back to normal, all until Bull steals his lunch from him one last time.

Lupe: Yo, hide your lunches everyone! Bull Sharowski is headed your way! He takes stuff!
Windsor: Bull is obviously a victim of classic adolescent angst. We could run, but what good would that do? Sharks are creatures of habit. He'll just repeat his aggressive neo-prehistoric behavior tomorrow.
Adam: Why would that Sharkowski kid bother us anyway?
Slips: Oh, he's been looking for a new victim, ever since Chucky Seal moved away.

Trivia[]

  • First major appearance of Bull Sharkowski. This was his intended debut episode, but due to achronological airing of the episodes, he previously appeared three times in "Bad News Bear", "Chew on This", and "The "A" Word". It obvious that this is Bull's first appearance, as Adam didn't know who he was, prior to his actual introduction here.
  • Bull Sharkowski's last victim was Chucky Seal, before bullying him into being relocated.
  • Due to an allergy, chocolate gives Bull hives.
  • Running Gag - Stewart Goat, (after getting a watermelon stuck on his head) crashing into things.
  • Jake mentions having an anorexic uncle, who became a supermodel.
  • When Wade Meerkat, Joanie Ox, and Stephen Koala are in a scene around the fountain, Wade’s ears are not darkened.
  • As the students react to Bull’s fin striking Adam’s arm, there are two Nash Pelicans and two Kimberly Swans (in the widescreen version).

Cultural References[]

  • Bull eats Adam's pudding cup in the same fashion as Bruce from the movie "Jaws" in his position on the famous movie poster.
