follow. At the time when the big “KA-BLOOOOSH!" comes, their school is invaded by extraterrestrial aliens bent on world domination who turn their classmates into obedient lunchroom zombie nerds! In a desperate move to save them, the entire planet, and Captain Underpants, George and Harold use alien EXTRA-STRENGTH SUPERPOWER JUICE to give their underwear wearing principal real superpowers (gasp) which leads to incredibly graphic violence in FLIP-O-RAMA™ in this delightfully silly third episode of the Captain Underpants series.
