"Any job they can do, we can do, ma'am. We're the Bravest Warriors!"
Time Slime is the debut episode of Bravest Warriors.

As the episode opens, we are introduced to our protagonists: Chris, Beth, Danny and Wallow. They are contacted through hologram by a distressed Supreme Chancellor Gayle, who alludes to a history with Wallow. Gayle asks to speak to the Courageous Battlers, the parents of the Bravest Warriors, however, as Beth mentions, they were sucked into the See-Through Zone before the beginning of the series.

The Warriors arrive at the Moon of Glendale, where they meet up with Gayle, who quickly learns that Wallow's glove is infused with an over-protective A.I. named Pixel. She takes the warriors to meet Professor Fartsparkles, whom she wakes from his "time nap" by slapping him across the face. Fartsparkles explains that he invented a machine called The Fartsparkles Time Generator to ensure that time would continue to flow after the Time Catastrophe. However, recently the A.I. in control of the machine has become moody, and has developed a case of what he has named The Fartsparkles Effect.

Danny: You probably shouldn't let this guy name everything after himself.

The group discover that now that the machine is broken, they have all been caught in a Time Loop, creating infinite copies of Gayle and the Warriors, each separated by five Glendalien minutes. Fartsparkles begs the group to repair the time loop and to save Glendale. Fartsparkles is put back into his time nap by a drop of goo. Gayle and the Warriors jump into the elevator and head to the Fartsparkles Chamber, just as the group behind them reaches the sleeping Fartsparkles.

The Warriors reach the generator, only to find the previous group still there... only, to the group's dismay, they're "hecka dead". Chris comes to the realisation that if they continue the time loop, they will all die within the next five Glendalien minutes, and that they're locked in. As Gayle mourns the fallen Wallow, the alive Wallow confesses that he never stopped loving her, and they begin making out. The generator reacts to the emotional power of the kiss. And then Pixel reactivates.

Pixel: What is this?! What... Is... THIS?!

Pixel becomes enraged. Wallow desperately tries to explain that it's Not What It Looks Like, but Pixel isn't buying it. Pixel screams that Wallow is his, and flings Gayle into the generator, killing her instantly. Wallow collapses onto his knees, horrified. The emotional pain, which Chris picks up on, becomes too much for the generator, and it violently lashes out, shooting at Beth, although Chris Takes the Bullet. However, his Heroic Sacrifice is in vain, as the machine then kills the rest of the group one at a time, each collapsing into next to their older corpse.

Seconds pass before the door opens again, and the next group steps in, seeing two sets of their own corpses. Cue a collective Screw This, I'm Outta Here from the group.

Beth: Nope. [Leaves]
Danny: Dude... I ain't going in there. [Leaves]
Chris: Sorry Gayle... You should put some time clams on it, see if it works out! [Leaves]
Wallow: I'll call you!
Pixel: No he will not.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Flipping the Bird: Danny repeatedly does this.
  • Foreshadowing: Chris is the only one who reacts to the emotional pain of the generator. In "Lavarinth", it is revealed that Chris becomes the Emotion Lord 200 years into the future.
  • The Heroes Die: The Bravest Warriors. Twice.
  • Kill the Ones You Love: Wallow murders Gayle, under the control of Pixel.
  • Little "No": Uttered by Beth when the Warriors are killed again.
  • Noodle Incident: What did Wallow and Gayle supposedly do on Venus?
  • Put on a Bus: Gayle and Professor Fartsparkles.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The Warriors at the end of the episode.
  • Taking the Bullet/Heroic Sacrifice: Chris pulls one for Beth, not like it matters.
  • Title Drop:
    Chris: Any job they can do, we can do, ma'am. We're the Bravest Warriors!
  • Unfortunate Name: Fartsparkles. Lampshaded by Danny.
    Danny: You probably shouldn't let this guy name everything after himself.
    Wallow: (suppressing laughter)
  • Wham Line: If the Wham Shot below wasn't enough, the line immediately after it can comes as this:
    Gayle: It's the Bravest Warriors! ...They're dead! They're all dead!
    • And then this:
    Pixel: What is this?! What... Is... THIS?!
  • Wham Shot: The shot of the fallen Bravest Warriors sprawled out beside the generator.
  • What Happened to the Glendaliens?

"Up yours!"

In "Time Slime", Danny flips the bird towards whoever calls his team "dorks".
