I tried not to use too much ink.
Otis!
Okay, so I was on break in the filing room doing some re-filing in my favorite filing drawers, and I found this.
I'm pausing so you will keep explaining.
Oh, this is the Odd Squad Most Odd list.
It ranks villains from the most odd to the least odd.
Also, it's from the year 2013, so it's super historical.
Isn't it neat?
I'd rank my interest as "mild to very mild".
I wonder why they don't put these out anymore.
So, I guess you never heard the story of the Total Zeros.
No, never heard that story.
Well, it's a good thing I have this sofa and fireplace.
Have a seat, and I'll tell you a story about the most feared villains in Odd Squad history.
So, Odd Squad used to put out a list of the oddest villains every year.
It was the talk of the town.
Extra, extra!
Read all about it!
The 2013 Most Odd list, hot off the presses!
[Ms. O] Some villains were happy with the rankings.
Mom, I'm twelfth most oddest villain!
[cackles] Yeah, pretty solid!
Put Dad on!
[Ms. O] Some were just happy to get the stick of gum that came with the list.
Ah!
Yes!
[Ms. O] But there was a brother-and-sister villain duo who were not happy at all: the Total Zeros.
I don't see our names!
Keep turning!
Last page...
There we are.
Ranked 101?!
Is that good?
No!
We're the last villains on the list... which means we're the least odd!
This can't be right!
You know, sis... Maybe this whole villain thing isn't working out.
It might be time for me to finally open up that little flower shop on Main Street.
No.
Brother Zero, we are the oddest villains in town.
I mean, look at our outfits.
Yeah.
And our powers.
See that bench?
Minus... zero!
[cackling] [Otis] Wait.
Hold on.
Their power was to subtract zero?
Yes.
But when you subtract zero, it just stays the same.
Like, if you have these two comfy chairs and you subtract zero from them... you're still gonna have these two comfy chairs.
Right, that's why they were the least odd villains.
They went around subtracting zero from things, so nothing changed.
Until... ♪ [dramatic music] Ms. O, you're needed on a case.
Is it okay if we pick up this story some other time?
Sure.
I got things to do.
Wow!
Three weeks later...
