Gate Crasher is the twenty-third episode of Angry Birds Toons.
Title Etymology[]
The title is a pun on the noun phrase Gatecrasher somebody who enters a place without warning or consent. This is fitting as Chuck was trying to forcefully enter Pig City to retrieve the eggs.
Toons.TV Description[]
The pigs finally capture the eggs, but Chuck is determined to get through the gates of Pig City, even if it means using his head.
Plot[]
Chuck is chasing three Bad Piggies who managed to steal the Eggs. One of them locks a very durable metal gate using a machine that locks it. Chuck tries to peck the gate many times in an attempt to destroy it, but his beak misshapes, while the pigs laugh at him. One of them licks the egg and Chuck gets angry.
Chuck makes attempts to penetrate the gate by drilling into the gate with his beak which catches on fire and using a log as a battering ram to destroy it, all to no avail, with the pigs continuously laughing at his failures. Red arrives, noticing Chuck trying to hit the gate many times. Red finds a secret wooden door opened beside the gate, neverminding Chuck, and goes in.
Chuck gets a plan, he brings the Slingshot and Chuck extends the elastic band of it until it reaches the sea. He travels to the gate at high speed, not noticing Red has already taken the minion pigs out and opened the locked gate. Chuck passes through it, destroying nearly everything in Pig City.
Chuck is surprised to find Red has already dealt with the pigs and brings the Eggs while whistling. Chuck smiles and walks away with Red, but the gate directly closes in his way causing Chuck to be stuck. Despite being a way around the gate, Chuck angrily hits the gate in order to break it. Red sees him and sighs, continuing to walk away as Chuck keeps hitting the gate.
