'''The Secret Snake Club''' is the 40th episode of ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]''. It is the first full-length episode, other than ''[[Billy and Mandy's Jacked Up Halloween]]''. It is one of the most popular episodes of the show. It first aired [[February 21]], [[2005]] on [[Cartoon Network]].
__NOTOC__
==Plot==
It's school club day. [[Irwin (Billy and Mandy)|Irwin]] joins a macrame club. [[Billy (Billy and Mandy)|Billy]], while questioning about the "Junior CIA" club, is being kidnapped by real [[CIA]] because he "knows too much". [[Mandy (Billy and Mandy)|Mandy]] is looking for a club, but no club satisfies her. She eventually joins "The Secret Snake Club" as it seems least bad.

"The Secret Snake Club" turns out to be just three nerds who have meetings in a basement. they are:

* "Viper" (a.k.a. Jerome) is a skinny, buck-toothed boy with a tall flattop haircut. He hosts Secret Snake Club meetings in his basement and provides refreshments in the form of "forbidden" Rice Crunchie treats shaped like snakes. He is a "Level 8".

* "King Cobra" is a large, mouth-breathing, monosyllabic boy with a blond bowl haircut, tiny glasses and a surprising talent for singing narrative songs like Bob Dylan. Aside from singing, he apparently doesn't talk too much, only eating Viper's "forbidden" Rice Crunchie treats through out the whole episode. He is a "Level 7".

* "Wiggly" is a short, bespectacled boy with bad acne and a curly mop of hair. He is the de facto leader of the Secret Snake Club, primarily because he is the only member of the club who actually owns a snake (a small green garden snake named "Wiggly Junior"). He is a "Level 20", and he apparently levels up faster because he "is the only one who actually has a snake", Wiggly Jr.

The club is pathetic, and Mandy is bored to tears. But they eventually reveal their dark agenda: they want to summon the second arrival of the ancient snake god Shnissugah, which will eat all bullies, leaving nerds to rule the world. But they need one thing to do this - the powers of the Underworld. She rents them [[Grim (Billy and Mandy)|Grim]] for $20 an hour. Grim is taken to the Secret Snake Club, and there he tries to log on "www.Shnissugah.com" (an actual web site not much though). While Grim is struggling with the computer, Mandy decides that she has had enough with the nerds and decides to leave the Secret Snake Club. But, as nobody can "unjoin" the Secret Snake Club, the Snake Nerds stops her with their little garden snake Wiggly Junior. Wiggly Junior ties Mandy and she is unable to move. Grim says he's on the clock and can't help her.

Grim eventually logs to the Snissugah's site and, using his powers, summons Shnissugah over the internet. Soon Shnissugah comes out, but he is not what Snake Nerds expected. He is 8 centimeters instead of 8 kilometers long, because, as he says, "the metric system got mixed up". Since Shnissugah can't eat cool kids because they're full of trans-fatty acid, he simply leaves Snake Nerds and returns into the monitor. Grim also leaves, leaving Snake Nerds on Mandy's mercy.

Meanwhile, Billy learns to excel as a well-trained CIA agent. After he successfully stops a playboy smuggler Leaky Collon, saying phrases like "Leaky Collon, it's time to stop running!" and "looks like a messy end for Leaky Collon, but that's what happens when you don't eat all your vegetables", he gets a new top secret mission from the CIA - he must stop a dark agenda hidden as a school club. Right when Grim is summoning Shnissugah, Billy appears at the door of the club. But not the door of the Secret Snake Club, the door of the Irwin's Macrame Club. He infiltrates Irwin's club, and Irwin, trying to escape, jumps out the window, but "he forgot this classroom is on the 3rd story." Billy finds Irwin crushed in a school yard and arrests him. It turns out that Irwin also had his own dark agenda - he was planning to sell his quality hand-made pot holders so he could buy a laser cannon which he would use to shoot at people's eyes so everyone would have to wear glasses like him. Well, he failed.

===End Credits===
The Cabbage Club boy tries to recruit members for his pathetic club. He feels [[Deception|dissed]]. He picked his nose and places the booger on one of his cabbages. Then he eats it.

==Guest Characters==
=== Shnissugah ===
[[Image:Shnissugah.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The real Shnissugah]]
A [[snake]] god worshipped by Wiggly and his Snake nerds, who had believed that he is giant (8 [[kilometer]]s) and capable of eating up the bullies that made fun of nerds. Much to their surprise, Shnissugah was actually very small (8 [[centimeter]]s) and bullies gave him indigestion. Shnissugah was brought into the mortal realm when Mandy rented out Grim for $20 an hour to the [[Snake]] Nerds. Grim used his underworld powers to release him from the internet. When Shnissugah come from the computer monitor (which was giving Grim much grief) Shnissugah is only 8 centimeters, he explains, because the metric system got mixed up. He than offers to bite the cool kids' big toes, which would make it "very uncomfortable for them to walk around." He is terrified and allergic to cats.

He is voiced by [[Frank Welker]], whose voice in this role is similar to [[Woody Allen]].

=== Snake Nerds ===
[[Image:BMG_Snake_Nerds.jpg|thumb|225px|left|The Snake Nerds]]
Three nerdy boys at Billy and Mandy's school who comprise the "Secret Snake Club". Mandy joins the club during School Club Recruitment Day. All three wear long red robes, have secret code names and have poor personal hygiene. Each member of the Secret Snake Club has a "level", although it's never made clear what the levels are for or how they are attained. Together they are committed to their dark agenda: summoning the second revival of a legendary [[Canada|Canadian]] dirt snake god Shnissugah, which will devour the cool kids, leaving nerds to rule the earth.

==Cultural References==

*The Shnissugah website which Grim accesses in the episode has been established as an actual website at [http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/billymandy/shnissugah/index.html www.shnissugah.com]. It uses various net lingo (ex: [[pwn]], [[n00b]], [[teh]]). The Shnissugah website also features a soundclip of Billy yelling "DESTROY US ALL!" from the episode ''[[Attack of the Clowns / Complete and Utter Chaos|Attack of the Clowns]]''. The episode is one page, is part of [http://www.cartoonnetwork.com CartoonNetwork.com], and has a link to the online game for [[Billy and Mandy's Jacked Up Halloween]]. If you look at the random letters Viper typed at the end you'll see Assss

* The so called CIA that Billy joines is a parody of the [[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]] right down to the glasses and the suite.

* While Grim is in a dog house, he says "...and the stupid [[Red Baron]] keeps flying by and shooting at me!". This is a reference to [[Snoopy]] from the [[Peanuts]] cartoon, whose alter ego is a [[World War I]] [[flying ace]].

*When Grim restarts the computer, comments appear on the screen. Such comments include: "Did you know that Billy and Mandy started as an [[Internet]] Cartoon? ...it didn't. that's a lie", and "[[The Matrix|Matrix]] okay. [[The Matrix Reloaded|Sequels]] not so good."

==Miscellanea==
* Whenever someone says the word "agenda" the background suddenly turns black, and lightning strikes, to give a creepy effect. This is done quite a few times until it starts to get on Wiggly's nerves, and then the special effects stop.
*When Billy becomes a CIA agent, he gains an I.Q. from -5 to 150.

==Trivia==
*This is the episode breakes the fourth wall many times like when the CIA kid says "Move along, nothing to see here!" and when Irwin says "This episode was supposed be about snake nerds! Snake nerds!"

==Guest stars==
* [[Frank Welker]] as Shnissugah, The CIA Director, Junior CIA Agent, Leeky Collon
* [[Billy West (voice actor)|Billy West]] as Viper, King Cobra
* [[Tom Kenny]] as Wiggly, Drama Club Actor, CIA Agent
* [[Vanessa Marshall]] as French Kid
