Revision as of 20:14, 20 March 2020
Germs is an episode of the ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks series.
Synopsis
Theodore becomes obsessed with cleanliness after a speaker at school talks to the class about the danger of germs.[2]
Plot
Miss Smith informs her class that it's nearly flu season prior to the introduction of a special guest, Germ Jerry. The man, dressed in a yellow protective suit, describes the nature of germs, terrifying Theodore. As The Chipmunks and Jeanette walk home, Theodore becomes increasingly concerned about his contact with germs and rushes home to brush his teeth after drinking from Jeanette's bottle. Simon attempts to calm him though his brother gloves up and begins cleaning the room, certain the germs are coming to eat him alive. Theodore's obsession to sanitize grows and he steadily covers himself until he's in a suit similar to Germ Jerry. Alvin and Simon recognize the problem, but Dave thinks he's just going through a phase. Answering the door bell reveals an antibacterial bubble Theodore intends to live in. That night Theodore has a nightmare about Dave and his brothers turning into germ monsters. The fright of the dream causes him to flip in his bubble leading him tumbling down the street and into the dump. Theodore returns in the morning, covered in garbage germs. Simon explains that germs aren't all bad and some are necessary to be healthy, changing Theodore's perspective of germs. Happy, the green chipmunk attempts to hug everyone only for them to run away to avoid getting garbage residue on them.
