In the funniest and most self-referential of the Captain Underpants series, George and Harold once again help Captain Underpants save the world, this time from the space aliens Zorx, Klax, and Jennifer. The aliens disguise themselves as Cafeteria Ladies and serve Evil Zombie Nerd Milkshakes that turn the entire school-lunch-eating population into, what else, evil zombie nerds. Just before one of the scenes of "incredibly graphic violence" presented in reader-animated flip-o-rama, Captain Underpants obtains true superpowers when George and Harold feed him some of the alien Extra-Strength Super Power Juice. With the help of the juice, the Waistband Warrior defeats a giant, man-eating dandelion. But how will our heros restore their zombie schoolmates?

     "Well, we could try this Anti-Evil-Zombie-Nerd Juice," said Harold.
     George rolled his eyes. "I was hoping for something a little more dramatic," he said, "but we're running out of pages. Let's do it." (106)

And to quote all of Chapter 24, "To Make a Long Story Short," "They did."
