Odd Squad is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, and Vizio.
- My name is Agent Olive.
This is my partner, Agent Otto.
This is the final frontier.
But back to Otto and me.
We work for an organization run by kids that investigates anything strange, weird, and, especially, odd.
Our job is to put things right again.
(theme music) (Otto screaming) (roaring) - Squishinating!
- (Olive): Who do we work for?
We work for Odd Squad.
- Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.
- What's the problem?
- Well, the problem is this.
This book just appeared on the shelf.
- Isn't that Dustin, the guy who works here?
- Exactly!
And watch this.
"Dustin was calm, Dustin was cool, and then Dustin fell off of a library stool."
- Hey!
Ah!
Hey!
- Whoa!
- Whoa!
- "Dustin was filled with shock and appalled, then Dustin got trapped in a very big ball."
- Help!
Please stop reading that book!
- I'm so sorry!
- I have an idea.
- Huh?
- May I?
With a stroke of her pen, Olive made Dustin free, and Dustin lived happily ever after.
- I'm so happy!
Thanks, Odd Squad!
- No problem.
- Doesn't even rhyme.
(trumpeting like an elephant) - You wanted to see us, Ms. O?
- Yes.
Something very bad has happened.
- You mean odd.
- No, I mean BAD!
This map shows where all the secret entrances are to the Odd Squad tube system.
- Let me guess.
One of the villains in town found the map?
- No!
ALL THE VILLAINS IN TOWN FOUND IT!
We have a recreation of what happened.
(overlapping chatter) - It's mine!
I saw it first!
- No, the map is mine!
- As we all know, villains are really bad at sharing, so tonight, they're having a big rock-paper-scissors contest; and whoever wins, wins the map.
- But if any villain got that map, they could crump, boing, pshhh anywhere in the world!
- Or crump, boing, pshhh anywhere in Headquarters!
- I'm not finished!
(double knock) Here are tally marks to show how many villains are going to the rock-paper-scissors party.
- What are tally marks?
- Tally marks are a fast and easy way to count.
- You tell him, sister.
Each one of these lines stands for 1.
And then, when you get to 5, you draw a line through the other 4.
Like this.
- Ohhh...
So that means 5, 10, 15 plus 1 equals 16 villains are going to the party.
- Lucky for us, this bad guy got sick and can't go.
- So you want one of us to dress up like that villain, beat all the bad guys at rock-paper-scissors, and win the map back.
- You know, I was really looking forward to saying that part, but... never mind.
Olive, you're the best RPS player on the Squad, you'll play.
- Just one question: which villain am I dressing up as?
No!
Not her!
I take it back!
I won't do it!
I-I can't!
I just-- No, I won't!
Ah!
(whinnying like a horse) - (Otto): Alright, Olive, one more time.
What's your name?
- Kooky Clown.
- Why do you want to destroy Odd Squad?
- So the world can be more kooky.
- Let's hear the laugh.
- Hoo!
Hoo!
Hoo!
- You're Kooky the clown, you have to be more kooky!
- OK. - Hoo-hoo-hoo!
Hoo-hoo-hoo!
Hahahahaha!
- Oscar, she's ready!
- Hey, Olive, this flower cam will let us see what you see.
Oh!
And here's how we'll communicate.
- But what are you gonna talk to me about?
It's not like you can read the bad guys' minds.
- But that is where you're wrong.
(Oscar chuckling) - I knew you could read minds.
- I can't read minds, but I have tons of videos of bad guys playing rock-paper-scissors Otto and I look at the footage, search for patterns, and make a prediction on what they'll throw next.
- Impressive.
But you already knew I thought that, because, you know, we got a little thing here, right?
- If anything goes wrong, Agent Orson will get us out.
He's an excellent driver.
- Uh!
♪♪♪ (squeaking) (clown shoes squeaking) - Hey, Kooky!
Good to see ya!
Good luck in there.
- Hoohoohoohoo!
- (Otto): Olive is inside.
You're doing great, Olive.
- (woman): Oh no.
Oh!
Ugh!
- (man): Sorry.
- Kooky.
- I've never seen so many villains in one place.
- Uh-oh!
- Surprised you showed Kooky.
Heard you were feeling funny.
- It's Olive's old partner: Odd Todd.
(Odd Todd sniffing) - Something's different about you.
- He noticed Olive!
Get her out!
- We can't!
Orson's on his lunch break!
Olive, you've got to convince Odd Todd [that you're Kooky.]
- Um... would you like a towel?
- What for?
Yep!
Same old Kooky!
- Oscar: [That was a close one.]
- (Otto): Too close.
- Olive, you've got to fit in with the other villains.
Make them think you're one of them.
- Olive: [Copy that.]
- I'm thinking about going by the Puppet Master, but then I got stationary and-- - To be honest, I don't really-- - Do you not like it?
- No.
- Hello, Puppet Master, Jellybean Joe.
- Greetings, Kooky Clown!
- Hello, Kooky, what are you up to?
- What haven't I been up to?
So much bad, evil, villain stuff.
- Hmm... - Like yesterday, I stole a diamond.
- Oooh!
- And I just threw it out.
- Why did you throw it out?
- Because I'm kooky!
I'm Kooky the clown!
- That doesn't sound kooky; that just sounds like a poor decision.
It's probably worth a lot of money.
- Do you want us to help you find it?
- No!
It's...
It's actually...
It's a-- - Hey, everyone, Kooky lost a diamond!
- Has anyone seen a diamond?
- A diamond!
- No, actually, I just remembered, I found it in my pocket.
- Oh, good.
Close one.
- It's a salad.
Salad.
- (Odd Todd): Attention!
- Oh, good!
- Gather around, villains!
(rock music) Tonight, we compete for the Odd Squad tube map!
(applause) - Wow!
Neat!
(honking horn) - Shapeshifter, the rules.
- It's simple.
Rock smashes scissors (growling) Paper covers rock.
(growling) Scissors cuts paper!
(Shapeshifter laughing) (villains applauding) - Evil Referee, who is playing who?
- Just a quick reminder that my first name is Wyatt.
Evil Referee is actually my last name, which I don't normally use on account of people jumping to conclusions about me without getting-- - (both): WHO'S PLAYING WHO?!
- Glad you asked, Odd Todd.
Round 1, we've got Tiny Dancer versus Jellybean Joe, Bad Knight versus Shapeshifter, Puppet Master versus Odd Todd, and Kooky Clown versus Fladam.
- Olive's playing Fladam.
- Let's get to work.
(bleating like a lamb) (applause) - Evil Knight is out, out, out!
(Wyatt whistles.)
Puppet Master versus Odd Todd!
Ready?
Set.
Throw!
Rock beats scissors!
(Odd Todd laughing) (applause) Odd Todd moves on to round 2.
Next up: Fladam versus... Kooky Clown!
(dramatic music) Giving you a minute to stretch or talk to yourself.
Whatever.
- Guy, what do you got?
- [Hey, Olive,] we watched Fladam play 30 games of rock-paper-scissors and we tallied up the results.
Otto?
- Fladam threw rock 1, 2, 3, 4 times; threw scissors 1, 2, 3, 4 times; but he threw paper 5, 10, 15, 20, 21, 22 times.
- Hmm!
- That actually makes sense, because Fladam likes flat things and paper's flat.
- Ah!
You just came up with that one now?
- Yes, I did.
- Good one!
- Yeah, I mean, I was just thinking: Fladam likes flat things, and paper's flat, and then boom, "idea-a-lada!"
- Olive: [Guys!]
- Sorry.
Fladam threw his paper the most amount of times, [so he's most likely to throw it against you, too.]
- So, I should throw scissors to beat him.
- Precisely.
(Wyatt whistles.)
- Time to do this.
Alright, I want a nice, clean fight.
You either throw rock, paper or scissors.
None of that dynamite business.
Ready?
Set!
Throw!
(rock music) Scissors cuts paper!
(applause) Fladam is out!
Kooky Clown moves to round 2!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Woohoo!
Yah!
- No clown beats me!
I'll flatten you!
- Come on, man!
- Hey, guys, guys, guys!
It's OK. it's OK. Kooks, make him a balloon animal.
Cheer him up.
Come on, buddy.
- (Olive): Of course.
(blowing air in balloon) It's a snake.
It's sleeping.
Ha!
(short musical cue) (Wyatt whistles.)
That's lunch, everybody.
Hope you like quiche!
(suspenseful music) - Last week, she made me a frog kissing a giraffe while riding a unicorn, with one balloon... - Something is up with her.
- Yah!
- Something does seem up.
- Big time.
- Definitely up.
- All the way to the top, big time.
- Yeah.
- Should we walk away now?
- (men): Yeah.
- To be continued.
♪♪♪ (Ding!
Ding!
Ding!)
- Greetings, agents.
Welcome to the lab where I conduct all sorts of experiments, build gadgets and-- - I'm Olaf.
- That's Olaf.
I asked Ms. O for some help in the lab and she sent me Agent-- - I'm Olaf!
- Which is great because I have a ton of work to do.
The only problem is-- - I'm Olaf.
- He won't stop saying, "I'm Olaf."
In fact, I started keeping track.
These lines are called tally marks.
A tally mark isn't a number; it's just the mark.
In this case, each line represents every time Olaf says, "I'm Olaf."
As you can see, there is 1, 2, 3 of them, because that's how many times he said it.
This is a quicker way of counting, especially when the thing that you're counting keeps on changing... - I'm Olaf!
- ...so quickly.
See?
Now, there's 1, 2, 3, 4 marks, because Olaf said, "I'm Olaf," a total of 4 times.
This is a lot quicker than having to erase and rewrite the number every single time it changes.
Watch.
Any second now, he'll say it again.
Ah!
Guess he's gotten it out of his system, which is great 'cause I have-- - I'm Olaf.
- And there it is.
I'll put another mark down; only this time, I'll do it like this.
Now, I know that this group here equals 5.
- I'm Olaf!
- Make that 6.
So I'll start a new tally mark over here.
5 plus this one tally mark over here equals 6.
- I'm Olaf!
- Let's make that 7.
- I'm Olaf!
- Uh, that's 8.
- I'm Olaf.
- 9.
- I'm Olaaaf!
- 10.
And this is just today.
You should see yesterday.
- I am Olaf.
- I'm gonna need another whiteboard.
- And now the rest of the story.
(Ding!)
- And we're back with just 8 villains left in the fight for the Odd Squad tube map.
You should also know that I've been replaced by my twin brother, also named Wyatt.

- Next up, it's Shapeshifter versus Kooky Clown!
- Alright, guys, what's Shapeshifter gonna throw?
- We were looking at the data and it looks like Shapeshifter is gonna throw-- (loud knocking) - What was that?
(dramatic music) - Fladam!
- He knows it's us!
We're busted!
What do we do?
- [Hey, are you open?]
- You know what?
I think he just wants ice cream.
Hang on, Olive.
(ice cream truck jingle) What would you like to have Fladam?
I mean, uh, sir.
- Give me an ice cream sandwich.
- (Otto): Uh, coming right up.
Bread, here you go.
Bread.
- (Oscar): Uh, and ice cream.
- (Otto): Here you go.
Have a good day.
- Finally!
Somebody got my order right!
Ha!
- (Otto and Oscar): Whoo!
- That was a close one.
- Yeah.
Good job.
- [Guys!]
Still waiting.
- Hey, Kooky, you got an earache?
Let's go!
Chop-chop!
- [Sorry, Olive.]
So we watched Shapeshifter play a bunch of games-- - And the results: she threw rock 5, 10 times; paper 5 times; and scissors 5, 10, 15, 20 times.
- Haha!
So Shapeshifter throws scissors the most, so she's more likely to throw scissors.
- So if you're gonna beat her-- [you have to throw rock.]
(Wyatt whistles.)
- Kooky Clown versus Shapeshifter, bring it in!
Ready?
Set!
Throw!
Tie!
- What?!
(villains gasping) (inaudible talking) - Hang on, Olive.
You said she'd throw scissors!
- I said it was more likely for her to throw scissors.
There was always a possibility of her throwing something else.
- What do I do?
- [Based on the info that we collected,] Shapeshifter is still more likely to throw scissors.
- But what if your prediction is wrong again?!
- Don't you get it, man?!
My prediction is all we've got!
Stick to the plan, Olive!
(Wyatt whistles twice.)
- Kooky, Shapeshifter, let's go again.
On your marks, get set.
(dramatic music) Throw!
(rock music) Rock beats scissors!
Kooky Clown wins!
- Grrr!
(applause) - Hey, could you shapeshift into a glass of water?
I'm a little parched here-- - GRRRR!
- OK, OK. - Two wins in a row!
You're not clowning around Kooky.
- Yeah...
Thanks.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go, um... color my hair.

(applause) - (Fladam): Yes!
- Hey, whatever happens here tonight, I just want you to know that I have a tiny band in my mouth.
(rock music) - ♪ Win it all for the win ♪ Hey!
- What are you?!
- Oscar: [Olive, we have a problem.]
- What problem?
- We just watched Odd Todd play 30 games of rock-paper-scissors.
- Odd Todd threw rock 10 times, paper 10 times, and scissors 10 times!
- Olive: [So?]
- He threw each move the equal amount of times.
He's not more likely or less likely to throw rock, paper or scissors.
We can't make a prediction.
- I just have to guess?!
(Wyatt whistles 3 times) - Kooky, Odd Todd, bring it in.
Alright, listen up.
I know we're all villains here today, but I want a nice, clean match.
No rocks below the belt.
Let's do this.
Ready?
Set!
(drumroll) Throw!
Tie!
- Rematch!
NOW!
- OK, I was getting there.
Ready?
Set!
Throw!
Another tie!
(villains gasping, whispering) (Odd cackling) - Two ties in a row... how odd!
I LOVE IT!
(villains laughing and cheering) (Odd Todd cackling) But you're still going down, clown.
- I can't believe the fate of Odd Squad is gonna come down to luck!
- Wait.
It doesn't have to.
I have an idea.
[Olive, stall.]
- Ready?
Set.
Throw!
- Ugh!
Ow!
Ugh!
Hand cramp!
(Wyatt whistling) (villains whispering) - What?!
- My hand hurts!
I just need a minute.
- You got one minute, Kooky, or the map goes to Todd.
(Wyatt whistles.)
- What?
Are you serious?
- I am not an evil doctor, I'm an evil referee.
Let's go!
- But... - Whatever it is, Otto, hurry.
- Odd Todd throws rock, paper, and scissors an equal amount of times.
- Yeah, that's why we can't make a prediction.
- He just threw rock, then he threw paper, but he hasn't thrown scissors yet.
(Wyatt whistles.)
- Time is up, Kooky!
- That means 11 rocks, 11 papers but only 10 scissors.
- Ready?
Set.
- That means he's gonna play scissors next to make 'em all equal again!
- Throw!
- Olive, throw rock!
(villains gasping) - Rock smashes scissors!
- Kooky wins the match!
(bell ringing) (villains cheering) - NOOO!
- YAY!
YES!
- WOOHOO!
(Olive sighs.)
(Otto and Oscar cheering) - Otto: [We won!
We won!]
- What's that sound?
(Otto and Oscar cheering) - Uh, nothing.
(Otto and Oscar cheering) (Odd Todd sniffing) (villains gasping) - Agent Olive.
- (Oscar): Uh-oh.
- Hey, I don't want any trouble.
I got six little referees at home.
- I'm...
I'm not Olive.
I-I-I'm Kooky.
All of this is just my... All of this is just my disguise.
It's like a double disguise, a disguise beneath another disguise.
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Hoohoohoohoohoo!
You're not buying it, are you?
- No.
- Crumpets!
- (Todd): She's getting away!
♪♪♪ (clown shoes squeaking) (grunting with effort) - Sorry, Olive.
This door's out of order.
(maniacal laughing) (Olive gasps.)
(sinister music) - Double crumpets.
(ice cream truck jingle) - What's that sound?
(engine roaring) (all gasping) - (Queen): Ow!
(heroic music) - I scream.
- You scream.
- We all scream - (agents): FOR ICE CREAM!
(villains screaming) ♪♪♪ - Bull's-eye!
- (Olive): Take that!
(villains moaning and weeping) Nice job, guys.
(Odd Todd laughing) - Nice job, me!
I've got the tube map and you're out of ice cream.
- We are, but he's not.
(heroic music) - AAAAAH!
(Odd Todd moaning) All that cream.
- I'll take this.
(Odd Todd groaning) - Thanks, Orson.
- Give the man his badge.
(heroic music) - Let's go home.
(clown shoes squeaking) I joined because the Earth should be round, not square.
- I joined because sandwiches should be tasty, not sandy.
- I joined because nobody should be able to make this noise.
(loud mix of various noises) - We are... - We are... - We are... - We are Odd Squad.
(heroic music) Since the beginning of time, and we're talking way back, we've been fighting odd.
In our spare time, we also like to draw pictures of ourselves.
We really like this one.
