6	Young yet talented inventor [[ChildProdigy Danny Douglas]] (Andy Milonakis) has just created a time machine in the form of a lunchbox and sent it on a journey through time, and on its maiden voyage, things were going well... until a small mishap occurred! Future scientists discovered this lunchbox -- and utilizing its compact size, sent the mysterious [[{{Badbutt}} Future-Worm]] (James Adomian) - a worm equipped with a [[CoolShades photo-receptor visor]], [[RuleOfCool titanium-reinforced abs]] and a [[ManlyFacialHair bulletproof beard]] -- back into Danny's time, where he befriends Danny, changing his life forever as the worm dedicates his whole life to ensuring Danny never has a boring day. The series focuses on the bizarre adventures of the two unlikely buddies as they travel into the past, future, and countless other places, often with the help of their friend [[GenkiGirl Bug]], (Creator/JessicaDiCicco) a young engineer, and sometimes Danny's parents as well.

24	* EpicFail: Robo-Carp at ''literally'' any task.
25	* ExtraordinaryWorldOrdinaryProblems: The ''Bubble Dad'' episode features a tribe of hillbillies secluded from civilization. In a world full of all sorts of weird sci-fi crud like a sentient worm from the future, aliens, etc. they are plagued completely by a simple lack of proper hygiene knowledge causing them things like stomach infections. This is further emphasized by Doug, in a protective bubble shield made by Danny, being the one to tech them.
26	* GenkiGirl: Bug. She's isn't reckless and hyperactive for nothing...
27	* ItsAllAboutMe: Steak Starbolt is essentially a more G-Rated Zapp Brannigan. He is frighteningly sociopathic and cares about no one else.
28	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Future Worm's ego is as big as his heart. He'll do anything for attention, but won't hesitate to help others, especially Danny.
29	* MadeOfExplodium: Robo-Carp.

40	'''Doug:''' I love you too. It's meant to be!\
41	''[They walk off together, still holding hands.]''
