History[]
The Terrible Twos[]
Dak and his best friend Eddie were both teenage slackers who hung around the Slurb and Lube Store. One day, they were kicked out by Kellaway who stated that the store was no library. They both decided to get revenge on Kellaway by going to a nuclear plant with a bug so they could be mutated just like their idol Insector the Bugman. Dak and Eddie went to the nuclear plant and got themselves radioactive, but realized that neither of them had the bug and fainted. An ambulance arrives and drives the two teenagers to the hospital. On the way, the ambulance crashed, causing the two to fly on their stretchers.
After falling into a spackle shop, Dak mutates into a putty monster, while Eddie falls into an aquarium, mutating into a fish. However. while Dak gains various powers from his putty body Eddie is stuck as a regular fish with no real powers, something that causes a rift between the two friends, so Dak decides to cheer up Eddie by destroying whatever he says to. The police arrive to deal with them but Putty Thing managed to defeat them with ease. Stanley, who was cuffed with Kellaway at the time, has to find ways to distract Kellaway in order to put the Mask to fight the villains. At the end, Putty Thing captures Kellaway and lets Stanley escape, allowing him to finally put on the Mask. Threatening to cook Fish Guy, the Mask convinces Putty Thing to set Kellaway free, after which he uses Canola oil to melt him and trap him in a large jar.
Martian Mask[]

Meanwhile, they are chased down by The Mask, while both Kellaway and a group of FBI agents searching for martians are on their tail as well. Despite all odds the two reach the beach, but unfortunately not only Fish Guy can't swim, Putty Thing's body becomes unstable in contact with the salt water, resulting in the two being captured again.
The Good, the Bad and the Fish Guy[]

Now having all powers he wanted and still mad at Putty Thing, he ditches his friend and goes on his own to cause mayhem around the city. Stanley convinces Putty Thing to fight Shark Dude and take off the Mask from him, causing the two to fight each other. Putty Thing takes off the Mask and decides to look for Stanley so that he can be his new best friend, while Fish Guy is arrested along the Mask. Knowing Putty Thing was after Stanley the Mask escapes from prison and reverts back to Stanley, who convinces Putty Thing to get inside a cement mixer to destroy it from inside, using the opportunity to mix him with the fresh cement and disabling his powers.

Trivia[]
- Putty Thing is a parody of the Batman villain Clayface, while Fish Guy's appearance is a parody of Dana Carvey's character from Wayne's World, Garth Algar.
- It is unknown if Putty Thing had actually killed anyone in the episodes he and Fish Guy starred in, as he caused mass destruction in Edge City, though it is possible due to Putty Thing destroying buildings where people work and live at (not to mention that they terrorized people in a theater).
- It is also unknown if Fish Guy had killed anyone while he temporarily had the Mask on, as he was flying around the city terrorizing people with his new powers before Stanley Ipkiss and Putty Thing arrived to defeat him.
