Troublesome Trio

The Troublesome Trio is a very famous group of penguins known for their frequent pranking. They are the masters of all "prank-ation", "cuckoo-ization", and "bizzare-ation". They have a nemisis called the Ghost Gang.

Trio Members

 * Explorer 767-- The mastermind of the group. He is cunning, quick, and clever. Explorer thinks up the pranks, with ideas from his subordinates, Barkjon, and Happyface. He also gets into tight situations a lot, like being trapped between a very angry Mabel and a cliff with a 900 ft. drop. He created the Trio and recruited the other two.
 * Barkjon-- He often provides the necessary equipment for the pranks. For example, Explorer once made use of the large mirrors in Barkjon's bathroom to pull off a Pepper's Ghost prank on TurtleShroom, with Happyface as the ghost. He also tends to be too loud, say the wrong thing, or accidently mess up the project. After he was seen riding his board and whoopee-cushioning somebody at the same time, Explorer recruited him.
 * Happyface141-- Happyface is the perfect scout, and provides important info during major operations, like The Waffle Operations, during which the trio successfully attempted to pour waffle batter on Str00del and Mabel. Since he is a light footed penguin, he can break into houses. Happyface makes lousy operation and project names so lets Barkjon and Explorer make them. When Explorer saw him pranking Mabel with expert reconnaissance during a South Pole Council meeting, he got recruited.

Honorary Members
"'Sly, dude. Sly...'"
 * Fred 676-- As the older brother of Explorer, Fred supervises the trio on quests that involve physics and math.
 * Clyde, Danny, Xavier, and Scooter-- The puffle quartet sometimes plans the pranks of the Trio: Clyde is the brains, Xavier and Scooter build/buy/get any neccessary equipment, and Danny usually does all the talking. That is, he uses his smooth talk and sarcasm to manipulate other penguins, or talk the Trio's way out of trouble. As Clyde puts it:
 * Flystar55555-- When the superhero isn't on one of his quests, Flystar will sometimes help out with the Trio's troublemaking schemes.
 * Tails6000:He is not to be messed with. He may prank at any time. He is usually used for pranks that require a distraction.
 * Metalmanager-- A tough yet funny penguin. He can prank someone without them knowing that he was there. Excellent equipment to prank, except that the equipment is few but strong. He only has one flaw, and thats's that if he sees a cookie, he will run for it, even if there's an anvil above his head!
 * Billy Mays-- Though he never really pranks anyone, Billy is allways willing to supply the group with products such as OxiPie, Mighty Putty, and even Kaboom incase the group is forced to clean up a mess they made afterwards. He's even signed a contract with them to give them his products 50% off. Seeing as he usually doubles, or triples the amount of the product, it's a very good deal.
 * Triskelle-- The royalty is quite pranker himself. He usually uses himself to distract people by fainting.
 * Explorer Pie Tank-- EPT helps the team and supervises them on a lot of quests.

Headquarters
Recently, Happyface inheirted a mansion in The Happyface State. One day he came across a giant underground room with posters of STINC on it. He transformed the room for the Trio's planning and no one can enter it except for Trio members. You must have a flipperprint to enter... or be a ghost...

Pranks
Warning: The trio is EVIL!!! Hilarious, but EVIL!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Operation Waffle
Operation Waffle was a series of steps that eventually led to Mabel and Str00del getting covered in waffle batter.
 * 1) Project Batter-- This step involved mixing waffle batter without Mabel and Str00del getting suspicious. This was pulled off by Barkjon pretending to pass out flyers about a waffle/pancake bake sale to the two puffles.
 * 2) Project Pipe Dream-- This involved making a way to transfer the waffle batter from the kitchen to the living room. This was done by making a sort of vacuum pump that would suck the batter from the kitchen to the desired destination. Excuse: "We need a delivery system in the igloo."
 * 3) Finale-- This is the final step where the trio loaded the waffle batter and managed to shoot it at Mabel and Str00del. It was a total sucess. (e.g. PWNAGE)

Operation Pepper's Ghost (on Professor Shroomsky)
Operation Pepper's Ghost was just a really scary prank that nearly scarred Prof. Shroomsky's mental health for life.
 * 1) Project Stage Set-- Designing the set-up for the prank. Involved getting the mirror from Barkjon's igloo to Explorer's igloo.
 * 2) Project Costume-- Designing a ghost costume for Happyface.
 * 3) Project Postal-- Mailing an invitation to Prof. Shroomsky to a "Halloween Party".
 * 4) Finale-- The final step where Happyface stands in a hidden room and pretends to be a ghost, Explorer and Barkjon manage the lighting, and Prof. Shroomsky gets the fright of his life!!!

Operation Bloody Stain
Operation Bloody Stain was a prank that tricked people into thinking they had been either shot, stabbed, or been kaboomed!

 * 2) Project Ketchup-- Happyface steals at least 4 ketchup packets from a restaurant
 * 3) Project Multistep-- Barkjon pours the ketchup into the box and Explorer carefully puts his flipper into the hole at the back which Happyface made.
 * 4) Finale-- The Troublesome Trio shows it to a large group of people and watches the reaction!

Operation Spaz
Operation Spaz is not a prank, but a mission they went on in order to find the truth about The Sapie Brothers. The plan is sure to take more than 2 weeks.
 * 1) Project Jumpsuit-- The Trio must get in jumpsuits and swim to the Cathedral.
 * 2) Project Cat Burglar-- Barkjon and Explorer go on the roof and cut open a window and try to get in while Happyface navigates and stalls the brothers.

 * 4) Finale-- Happyface comes in and arrest them takes them to the council.

Operation Spaz 2
After the failure of its predecessor, this operation was re-designed as a prank.


 * 1) Project Jumpsuit 2-- The Trio swim to the Cathedral under the cloak of night.

 * 3) Project Super Spy 2-- While the brothers are (hopefully) sleeping, Happyface breaks in and rigs the Cathedral with all sorts of traps and tricks, from hidden whoopee cushions to Blue Screen Of Death Screensavers.
 * 4) Finale-- On Happyface's signal, Explorer and Barkjon hack into the sever and change the settings around the Cathedral indoors to make it seem as if it was daytime. The Sapie Brothers (probably) wake up tired and groggy, and will be easy victims of the mischevious traps set up by Happyface.

Operation Ditto

 * 1) Project Iceberg-- The Trio must create a fake iceberg next to a leopard seal den. Then they rig the place with traps.

Also known as Let's Prank Charon!. Their biggest prank yet; it's so big that it needs its own article!

More coming soon...

This prank was played on Star Kirby12. Even we are surprised that they had the guts to prank him. After that, the trio went to court for pranking a hero when he was on an important mission.


 * 1) Project Disguise-- Explorer disguises as a regular penguin. Since Star is good at suspecting, he stops to wonder who he might be.
 * 2) Project Dig-Some-Holes-- Happyface digs up several holes underground. Star is too busy wondering who the stranger(Explorer) is to notice.
 * 3) Project Snare-- Above, Barkjon drops a cage that cages Star and the holes. This makes Star notice.
 * 4) Finale-- Happyface throws lots of Happy Faces up the holes, and Star gets lost for about 3 hours before jumping into one of the holes.

PLOP Contract
One day, one of the Trio members became bored and wrote a strange, completely random, and absolutely nonsense-based "contract". It has no true meaning, it's just a bunch of random words and phrases.

Read it for yourself.

Trivia

 * The Trio has been sued many times. Once, the GourdZoid Council condemned them for throwing snowballs at the Czar (is that even a crime?). They took time in jail, but shortly afterward escaped in an very complex plan that they didn't even remember later. Prisoners are eager to find out.


 * Victims of the StormWorm 'insist that the creature is by far a superior prankster than the Trio, but naturally, the Trio deems this impossible.


 * To get in the Trio, one must comply to the PLOP License (Pranker's License Of Pranking), written by Explorer. Many a soul has read the license and fainted. Even Bill Gates himself stated that it was "the Antarctic version of the EULA." Read it and weep!


 * The Trio plans on pranking Charon and will need the honorary members.


 * Kwiksilver was once said to be the equivalent of The Trio after he pranked Explorer on The Moon Mission, but Explorer insisted firmly that Kwiksilver was not that good.
 * After saying that statement, Explorer was drenched by a falling bucket of water.
 * There is a group similar to them
 * Alex12345a is quite afriad of the trio, as he gets pranked easily, even by himself!
 * Fudd really wants to join, because he is good at pranking people
