Summary
Starfire is allowed to join Beast Boy and Cyborg's revelry, if she avoids uncle jokes.

Plot
In Titans Tower, Beast Boy and Cyborg are at a table looking bored. Beast Boy bets Cyborg that he could make him smile, but Cyborg doubts it so he accepts the bet. Beast Boy turns into a pig and does the Pig Jig. Cyborg couldn't help but laugh. Beast Boy wins the bet but Cyborg bets Beast Boy that he could do the same and he accepts. So Cyborg does the Robo Rag dance while he was in his circuits and Beast Boy also smiled. After that, they did a Bro Boogie. Starfire came to the kitchen and dances, she said she also wants to make them smile. Cyborg and Beast Boy remain in silence.

They tell Starfire that they are the only ones who are funny in the Titans. Starfire says she doesn't want to be the only Titan who isn't in on the jokes. Beast Boy and Cyborg tell her that Robin can't make jokes. Robin bursts in to the kitchen disagreeing. The boys tell Robin that he makes "uncle jokes." Starfire claims that robin never tells jokes about his uncle, so they explain what it means. Starfire begs to join Cyborg's and Beastboy's "comedy duo", but they say that she cannot join, since she can't joke either. Starfire begs until Beastboy interrupts. He says Starfire is begging wrong. He says that Starfire should make cookies for the "comedy duo." The show "rewinds" to the scene before. Instead of begging, Starfire insists on baking cookies and the boys teach her their ways.

They start with silly walks. Beast Boy uses noodle legs, Cyborg does a Michael-Jackson-like walk, and Starfire bends her legs deeply, leading to her falling on her bottom. Her grade? C+. Next is fun with food. Cyborg puts on egg eyes and orange teeth, Beastboy has carrot teeth and bananas sticking out of his ears, and Starfire slurps a noodle with comes out her ears. B- Now body function humor. They are at a diner, with Cyborg with the smallest burp, Beast Boy with the medium burp, and Starfire with the loudest burp yet blowing the boys away. Literally. A+ Back at the tower, Starfire tries to create a catchphrase. "Boo ha ha." "I am the cool. Shamma lamma mu mu." They disagree to both, sadly.

Robin walks in with a uncle joke. "I was just wondering, what do you call a cow with no legs? Ground Beef! Boom!" He then rocks the air guitar. Raven laughs without showing her face. They call Robin uncle again, leaving Robin mad. Robin says to Cyborg and Beast Boy that they are a bad influence to Starfire, saying that he is the lone wolf leader, the boys are the good-natured slackers, Raven is the sarcastic older sister, and Starfire is Robin's unrequited love. If Starfire will not turn back, the tower will be out of balance.

Starfire agrees, adding uncle at the end. The boys say Robin has just been uncle-ed. After the song, Uncle Jokes, Cyborg tells Starfire they are now a comedy trio. Robin yells like crazy saying that Starfire must turn back or it'll mess with their balance. His face starts to turn into the other Titans'. First with Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Raven. The Titans start asking question as Raven answers. She says that since the Tower is out of balance, Robin has to turn into each of them in order to restore it. Back to Robin, he imitates the crime alert getting louder, and louder, and very annoying. He walks to the titans' computer and searches around the tower, finding their lawn gnomes, with Robin mistaking them as little ceramic people who attack gardens.

He turns in to the titans again destroying all the gnomes. The boys see in pain, realizing the only way to restore Robin is to kick Starfire out of their comedy trio. Starfire hovers over and laughs at Robin. "Ha ha! Look at Robin! He is cray-cray, for the real-real! Not for the play-play! Shamma lamma mu mu!" Starfire sees the boys aren't laughing. Cyborg says to Starfire it was a good joke, adding uncle at the end, while crying. Beast Boy does the same thing. Starfire realizes what they are doing, then accepts to quit but she will need to be comforted by the lone-wolf-leader. Robin bursts in with his grappling hook, then sweeps Starfire off her feet after she faints in his arms. The boys moan about kicking Starfire out of their group, and hope it's enough to make Robin back to normal. He hears them and the tower is balanced again. Robin makes one last joke. "Hey Beast Boy, is your face hurting you? 'Cause it's killing me! BOOM!" The Episode Ends with Raven chuckling,"Boom indeed, Robin. Boom indeed."

Trivia

 * This is the first episode of Teen Titans Go! to premiere on Wednesday night at a new time, 6:30 PM unlike the others in the past in 2013.
 * When Robin categorizes each member in their place of team balance, he calls Starfire his "unrequited love" out loud. This goes against his initial embarrassment of revealing his crush to the rest of the team.
 * When Beast Boy and Cyborg kick Starfire out of their trio she goes to Robin for comfort instead of Silkie. This shows that Starfire likes Robin.
 * When Robin categorizes each member, Raven is seen wearing purple gloves, though she is usually not wearing gloves.
 * In real life, you get fired for calling your boss names and insulting another person for singing a rude song and other bad things, but nobody thought of it being too important in cartoon life.

Continuity

 * This is the second time Robin is shown with eyes, minus the mask. The first was Driver's Ed.
 * This is the second episode where Robin imitates someone, the first being in Sidekick.

Errors

 * In the Uncle Jokes song, Starfire uses the contraction, "don't", instead of saying "do not". This is the second episode where this happened. The first was Meatball Party.
 * The made up element "Bro-shipium" has an atomic number and symbol that are already taken by Helium (2) and Bromine (Br.)
 * In real life, Robin should have fired everybody in this tower for insulting him so badly and calling him rude names including "uncle" and everybody knows dissing is not allowed, including themselves, but just do not get fired, or you will be punished forever.
