This is a list of
Double the Fist episodes.=Episode List=eries 1
Episode 1: Vertical Challenge
In this first episode Steve challenges the Fist team to
abseil down a cliff - without any ropes or means of suspension. Mephisto decides to construct a batsuit to glide safely down; he fails due to a lack ofupdraft s. Rod decides his strategy will be to jump the distance from the top of the cliff to the water; however, that distance is about 2 metres longer than the world recordlong jump , and even though Rod has his legs waxed in order to reduceair resistance , he fails. The Womp tests several strategies by throwingwatermelon s off the cliff, but every watermelon splats on the ground; he eventually succeeds by wrapping himself in over 900m ofBubble Wrap . First aired21 May , 2004.clrEpisode 2: Extreme Makeover
Steve challenges the Fist team to improve the lifestyles of some weak viewers. Womp is assigned a kid, Rod is assigned an old lady, and Mephisto is assigned a mediocre magician. To test the fistworthiness of the subjects at the end, they will have to get on a luge and do a jump over a ramp. The jumps of the kid and old lady end disastrously. The magician decides he will do his jump in a bag (tied up), in a locker on wheels that is chained and padlocked, which is on fire; this also ends in disaster as the fire warps the metal and is unable to roll (as told by Mephisto). The magician burns to death, but wins as he put himself in mortal danger (ie, a position where he couldn't get out of). This episode includes Mephisto's thoughts on
vegetarians and Rod teaching his elderly lady a very painful way to drinktea . First aired28 May , 2004.clrEpisode 3: Fistathlon
Steve pits the Fist team against each other in attempt to make sport more fistworthy. The first sport is
golf ; each contestant tees off as usual in a game of golf, but Panda is hidden somewhere on the course, armed with aGlock . Panda eliminates Rod and Womp (after teaching Womp to hit the ball off the tee) before they can get their ball into the hole; Mephisto then kills Panda with aknife . Mephisto triumphantly drops his ball into the hole, but does not receive any points because he was supposed to hit it in. The second game isclay pigeon shooting : each contestant is charged with making what Steve thinks is a boring sport into something more exciting. Womp decides to vary the angle at which the clay pidgeons are launched, but some of them end up being directed at him, and he is pelletted by them. Rodd decides to have targets that shoot back, and is killed by one. Mephisto decides that "he" will be launched (bycatapult ) as he attempts to shoot at a stationary clay pidgeon on the ground; however, he shoots too late and misses. No one receives any points. Several more events are briefly summarized, includingbowling , the "fire sprint" (which resulted in all of the contestants exploding), and thesmorgasbord event, which Womp won by eating 17 courses. The final challenge is a 'steeple chase', a run along the highway, over aspace/time vortex , and through a "trap canyon" (basically a maze full oftrapdoor s, swinging blades, and spikes). The Womp gets off to a slow start and falls into the vortex; because the vortex transports him 5 minutes back in time, it effectively clones him. Womp falls in several times, so there end up being quite a few clones of him. Mephisto and Rod reach the trap canyon first, but are both quickly dispatched by it. The Womps get to the trap canyon, and by sheer numbers, one manages to get to the end. The Womp is declared the overall winner of the Fistahlon, and is granted the privilege of climbing "Mount Fistus" (a nondescript hill). This episode also divulges Mephisto's hatred of road safety campaigns and could be the first appearance of Blue Womp. The special features on the DVD of season 1 reveal that another sport, sprinting, was intended to be satired; however, there was a significant pyrotechnic mishap and the scene had to be cut. First aired4 June , 2004.clrEpisode 4: Fear Factory
Reality television comes under fire this week, as Steve pits the Fist team and some guests against each other inside the world's most deadly factory. This episode includes
Ugly Dave Gray in a cameo, Womp and Blue Womp arguing about cookery, shark-like creatures flying through the air and eating people, and Rod fighting evil flying furniture. During this episode, Mephisto gets possessed by an ancient Aztec demi-god, steals Steve's car, and disappears from the show until episode 6. First aired11 June , 2004.clrEpisode 5: High School Challenge
In this episode, the Fist Team competes with some highschoolers in various challenges. Each challenge is worth 1 point. The team with the most points at the end is deemed the most fistworthy. Among the challenges were:
* Library Search: the teams were given the task of finding a golden key hidden in a book in the library. They were only given one clue. The Fist Team won by stealing the golden key after the highschoolers found it.
* Egg protection: Each team had to protect an egg from being smashed by Panda'scricket bat. The highschoolers made a contraption to protect it from high falls, and then dropped it off the side of the building, dissuading Panda from smashing it. The Fist Team quarrelled, so their strategy ended up being Blue Womp trying (and failing) to protect the egg with his body.
* Mathematics Challenge: One designated player on each team (Rod for the Fist Team, and Emily for the High School Team) lies head-first on a skateboard, which is attached to a long rope, such that it can be dragged towards an operating lawn-mower. Steve asks the teams numerical questions, and the number by which they are incorrect translates into the distance the skateboards are drawn forward (much like a game fromThe Price is Right ). The Fist Team came from behind to win after the High School team incorrectly guessed Steve's weight, and Emily's head was pulverised.
* History challenge (worth double points): The two teams were given the task of recreating theGallipoli landing fromWorld War I , with the Fist Team playing the ANZACs and the school students playing the Turkish forces. The Fist Team were beaten when the school students didn't attack the Fist team, but as the ANZACs massacre was a more realistic interpretation of history, the Fist Team were victorious.At the end of the episode, the Fist Team was the overall winner, 4-1. Also, Steve became frustrated with Blue Womp, and after beating him violently, forbade him from ever appearing again. (He did reappear in the final episode of the season, but only to be shot in the head with a cannon).First aired18 June , 2004.Episode 6: Bush Bash
The episode begins with Steve deriding the ability of
nonviolent protestors to ever accomplish anything. He then announces that there is a majorlogging operation taking place in a forest in Australia, and gives the fist team the assignment of stopping it; whoever eliminates the most loggers will have won. After several misadventures, the Womp, Rod, andTina T manage to reach the main site of the logging operation, where it is revealed thatMephisto , possessed by anAztec demigod is cloning pandas in a giant pyramid. The Womp pokes Mephisto in the eye, detaching the demigod from him. The dazed Mephisto orders the pandas to stop logging. Steve says that because Mephisto stopped the most loggers, he won the challenge. First aired25 June , 2004.Episode 7: Terrorism
This episode is slightly different from the others - it does not feature any of the recurring segments, and instead plays as a story. Steve challenges the team to stop a mysterious terrorist group, but when they are all taken hostage, it's up to Steve to save the day - and it turns out the head terrorist has a grudge against him. The split-screen effects and timers used throughout the episode are clear homages to the TV series "24". The action-packed ending and particularly the ending credits are a parody of the film "Armageddon". First aired
9 July , 2004.The title "Terrorism" is often given to the episode by TV guides, but throughout the episode itself it is called "Episode 7".clr
Episode 8: Special Edition
This is a prank
clip show episode, featuring previews for upcoming, and non-existent, episodes. It also has supposedly behind-the-scenes footage, expanded back stories for the characters, and some other miscellaneous clips like a music video featuring Rod Foxx on lead vocals. Steve claims on the website that he had a plan for a different episode, but ABC wouldn't let him broadcast it, so he had to throw together the "special edition" at the last minute. The false previews for the next eight episodes were paid off when they pretended the ABC had cancelled the series and faked being taken off air with two minutes left to go, with an intentionally bad replacement, "Town and Country", being shown for the remainder of the time slot. First aired16 July , 2004.eries 2
Episode 9: Beat The House
Steve returns to earth to find four years have passed and weakness is at an all time high. After beating up some medieval re-enactmentors, Steve sets out to find his team. Rod is spying on gymnastics performers, Mephisto is guarding a blood bank (but some
vampire s have him in their pocket), Womp is being crushed by cars at a derby and Panda is in a zoo.With his team reassembled, Steve tells his plan: to created the ultimate fistworthy base to eradicate weakness from the face of the earth from. For this, they will $1,000,000. He has a plan: the Fist Team's new target is gambling- not gambling itself, but the losers. He plans to beat the house in the most fistworthy way imaginable: rob it. For his plan, Rod will impersonate a famous hypnotist while Panda will be his 'lovely assistant'; Womp will pretend to be a famous professional gambler and provide a distraction while Mephisto will pretend to be a guard, allowing to sneak in a vampire friend (who will not show up on the security cameras).
It does not go as planned. Womp is caught up in his surprising success in gambling and does not fake a heart attack, prompting Steve to knock him out. Mephisto takes Womp down to the vault but Rod puts him to sleep due to a misunderstanding, and the vampire gets to Womp. They both then go on a rampage, causing security to lock everything down. Panda, meanwhile, has fallen in love with a mime. Rod and Mephisto barely escape, but Womp is disintegrated when he steps into the sunlight. Luckily, Steve managed to chain all the pokie machines to the prize car in the chaos and drives off with exactly $1,000,000.Due to stuffing up the least and not being disintegrated, Rod is given the new title 'Man of Fist'.
Episode 10: Council Smash
The local council tries to evict Steve and the Fist Team from their new HQ (Prawn World) but fail because they're a bunch of No Fist losers.
Episode 11: Fist Furniture
Steve decides comfort is the root of all weakness and so makes his own furniture company while the fist team destroys Steve's main competition Vard'e furniture.
Episode 12: Double Dragon
A computer virus takes down the Fist website until the Fist team destroy it with the help of internet users.
Episode 13: House Party Challenge
Rod decides to make the weekly challenge who can get laid the most at his party which he throws in Steve's absence.
Episode 14: Ultimate Weapon
Steve makes the Double the Fist Team climb a mountain where he was trained as a child to collect the "Ultimate Weapon." However, he causes the others (not including Womp) to become frightened when he does not give them parachutes to jump out the plane. Rod and he end up in a struggle and Rod's flare goes off, and the plane crashes. Womp rushes to Steve's rescue to find him disoriented, and expecting him to be carried to the top of the mountain. Meanwhile, Mephisto (who landed safley) has gone to town and finds that all he must do is take a chairlift to get to the top. He goes up and finds that all he has to do to get into the Castle which contains the Ultimate Weapon is cross a bridge, which he finds is guarded by a highly skilled guard.
Rod arrives to find Steve and tries to steal his glasses. Steve is infuriated and disowns him, making Rod run off ashamed (and imagine he has discovered terrorists). And so, Womp and Steve end up in a swirling chasm which keeps the world moving. Steve urges Womp to give up or go on without him. Womp insults Steve until he miraculously recovers from his injuries and lack of fistworthyness, thus earning himself Full Fist. Meanwhile, during Mephisto's battle with the guard, a piece of the bridge is broken off and is lodged in the side of the swirling chasm, thus stopping Earth from rotating and nullifying gravity. This allows Womp and Steve to be lifted from the chasm, while Mephisto discovers that the monks have let the guard believe that dolphins (his favorite animal, despite the fact that he has never seen one) are extinct due to the ocean filling with sand. Showing him a picture of a dolphin he caught whilst fishing, Mephisto brings the guard onto the side of the fist.
The Fist Team enters the Castle and do battle with the monks (failing miserably) while Womp goes underground to find the Ultimate Weapon. He discovers it to be guarded by two twins guards (Shane Dundas of the
Umbilical Brothers ), one who always tells the truth, and one who always lies which become increasingly more obvious (I am your father). Womp asks the truth telling one how many fingers he is holding up, he answers wrong and explodes. After an argument, the second guard explodes when he tells him which door to go through. Womp collects the Ultimate Weapon (a chainsaw known as the Timesaw) and Steve defeats the peaceful monks by majestically tossing a flower at the leader. They all flee the collapsing castle, except for Womp who is buried alive, but digs himself free. As the episode ends, Rod imagines himself releasing a new record and becoming a huge sensation as he freezes to death.Episode 15: Timesaw
The Fist Team now possesses the TimeSaw, which can be used to cut holes in the time continuum, allowing them to travel through time. The Fist team goes through time to test its capabilities. During this, Rod has his fair blown off in a fight with a Futuristic Defence Force and goes insane. After this, the team goes back in time to an hour before
James Cook officially discovered Australia. The purpose here is that the team will stop the unfistworthy English from settling Australia, allowing the Fist Team to guide Australia to a fistworthy future.After a long preperation, inwhich Mephisto builds a highly advanced catapult (which Steve critisizes for being based on something too old). They and some modern day aboriginals use all their weapons to attack Cook, who as it turns out has been given future weapons by Rod. Steve sends Womp into the future with the TimeSaw to collect some weapons for them. However, Womp, to his horror, finds that the future Australia is a living nightmare inwhich Steve rules with an iron fist and punishes weakness by death and street crime abounds, and is tolerated because it is manly. Womp also comes to see that he has been killed and is used as the personafication of WEAK. He is pursued by Steve's Fist Patrol for "being a Womp impersonator", but is saved by rebels. The rebels give Womp a rifle, and instruct him to kill Steve before he can kill Cook.
Meanwhile, Rod, who is a whimpering, cloaked mess without his hair, has followed Womp into the future. He steals the TimeSaw from Womp to go back to when he lost his hair fighting the rogue website; however, by saving his hair, he creates a paradox, whereby saving his hair negates the future Rod returning to save his hair. Eventually, a limosene appears, and a mystical Rod informs the real Rod that his power came not from the hair on his head, but from his pubic hair. Rod then returns to the future, and he and Womp return to 1770.
Back in 1770, Steve steals Cook's flag and prevents Australia from being discovered, but Cook simply begins the creation of a new one from undergarments. Soon enough, Cook tires of Steve's predatorial tactics, and challenges him to a face off (much to Steve's annoyance, he means Chess, albeit a futuristic 3D Chess with Cluedo weapons). Steve is beaten horribly in it, so resorts to violence again. Rod helps Steve gain the upper hand over the English, while Womp sets up his sniper rifle. In two minds about whether to help or protect Steve, Womp reluctantly takes aim at Steve, but averts his eyes and shoots Cook. Womp is awarded Full Fist for a second time in a row, and Steve finsishes Cook by planting his own Fistworthy flag in the ground (through his neck).
Mephisto, when using his catapult, was transported back to prehistoric times, and remains there at the end of the episode.
Episode 16: The Great Battle
Mephisto has gone back to 2008 with the guard (Ballistic Man) and has betrayed Steve by ruling over a large group of Medieval Reenactors (and some
Imperial Stormtroopers ). The rest of the team arrives in the Fist Mobile, and Steve smashes the TimeSaw with a lightsaber. Steve is infuriated at Mephisto's betrayel, and threatens to kill him right then and there, but is stopped when Mephisto suggests that he is too scared to fight his entire army.Womp drugs Steve and attempts to smother him, but just can't do it, while STeve has a flashback. Years ago, when Steve was just a boy forcing Rod to do idiotic stunts, Rod came upon Steve's signature glasses in a sewer pipe. Steve quickly stole them, and claimed that he found them, and thus was taken in by the Mystical Monks, as seen in Ultimate Weapon. Rod arrives to discover Steve without his glasses and they correctly conclude that Womp stole them. Rod pursues Womp as he gives the glasses to Mephisto, giving him near god like strength.
Steve is visited by the ghosts of Panda and the Mime, who tell him that they respect the fact that he killed them for what he believed in. To show their respect, they give Steve his own army, comprised entirley of the many Fist Branches. Meanwhile, Rod is ecstatic to find Tara in vending machine form. He hotwires her and brings her back to life, resulting in him getting beaten up. However, soon it is obvious that Tara has gained her freedom.
The reenactors are given actual weapons and the titular Great Battle begins. Ballistic Man battles Tara and Rod to defend Mephisto. After Mephisto severly beats Steve, he plans on Crushing him with a massive prawn statue. For a brief moment, the statue appears as a Dolphin, and having filled his greatest desire, Ballistic Man disintigrates, however he has delivered the finishing blow to Tara. Luckily, Rod accidentally presses the Sidekick button on the vending Machine form and sets her free in the form of a loveable little girl.
Mephisto turns out to be as loyal to Steve as ever. His orders were to kill the reenactors, and he will do so by killing Steve and gaining their trust, then after four years, poison them all on an island. Womp protests Steves death, but is bullied into standing aside. Womp then sees Steve appear to say "I love you" and whacks Mephisto in the back and sends the glasses flying onto Steve's face. Mephisto is defeated and the Fist Team are victorious. Steve awards Rod Full Fist for offering to kill all the reenactors by himself when Steve's glasses were stolen, and Mephisto gains Double the Fist for his amazing (if misguided) efforts and loyalty. Womp, however is shot in the head for being weak and being pushed around (though in this show, it's likely that he'll be back.) The dystopian future is set as Steve, Rod and Mephisto fly into the sky.
