Lenny gobbles popcorn on sight

After reading the task brief, Lenny decides to first test out how long the toaster takes. While that’s running, he trepidatiously turns the handle on the jack-in-the-box, to find out when that will pop up.

He questions how the cat feeder pops, as he is clearly unfamiliar with what the object is, so Alex fills him in. Lenny then figures out how to set the dial as close to zero as possible, so that it will pop open quickly. As it then almost immediately opens up, he spots the popcorn inside, and consumes some of it without a moment’s hesitation.

Lenny also tests out the bubble wand, blowing a long stream of bubbles from it with one deep breath.

He cleverly somehow pre-blows a bubble into the chewed bubble gum, and then holds it in one hand, ready to pop on demand, while holding the party popper in the other hand.

Lenny asks Alex to tell him when there are just 10 seconds remaining, as he plans to set most things to pop in that final window.

With 30 seconds on the clock, he begins the inflation of the balloon, while holding onto the bubble wand.

At Alex’s 10 second reminder, he begins blowing bubbles from the bubble wand, and prepares to manually pop the toaster using a button.

As the timer hits zero, one of his soap bubbles bursts. He then reaches over and manually triggers the cuckoo clock and the toaster to pop at the same time. The balloon on top of the dome then bursts, as he attempts to get the monster toy to pop. He then pops the jack-in-the-box, before the cat feeder, and the party popper. It’s unclear when he pops his bubble gum bubble.

In the studio, Alex reveals that Lenny had managed to make everything pop within a window of 50 seconds, which earns him second place.
