"Toys Will Be Toys" is the 28th episode of the first season of Total DramaRama. It first aired on Cartoon Network on 16 February 2019.

Overview
The kids try to be internet sensations by posting videos on the internet, leading to a challenge issued by two of the girls to three of the guys on who can receive the most number of likes. Due to their rather crazy stunts that they pulled off, the boys quickly become popular on the internet. Will the girls be able to catch up to their popularity?

Synopsis
The episode starts with Courtney telling Bridgette and Chef that she just decided to become a WeTube star since she has the right tools needed to become one (great bubbly personality, witty repartee, and pretty hair) and assigns Bridgette to be her camerawoman. She agrees and asks Courtney what she is going to talk about online, which Courtney confesses that she hasn't figured that one out.

Her first WeTube video is her baking a cake. However, once she puts the ingredients in the mixer and turns it on, it starts shaking and mixing vigorously. Courtney stops it by bashing it with a baseball bat, causing the batter to splatter everywhere, including onto Bridgette.

Her second WeTube video depicts her riding her bicycle. As she explains about bike safety, she inadvertently crashes into Owen and Jude, who are riding inside a car.

Her third WeTube video features her in a dolphin stadium. After explaining the quirks of a bottlenose dolphin, the aforementioned animal sprays her with water from its blowhole. With her first three videos not turning out well, Courtney decides to go for toy reviews, with Bridgette agreeing before the dolphin attacks them with fish.

Her next video is about her review of the Tammy Tinkles doll, where she demonstrates how it is played (feeding it with water, squeezing its tummy, and changing its diaper). After Bridgette finishes recording the video and posts it online, Owen, Jude, and Harold ask if they want to help her. Courtney agrees that they will help her... by staying out of her way since she didn't think that they have smarts and on-screen charisma like her, much to their offense. Courtney and Bridgette check that their video has finally got 12 likes and they share a high-five (which Bridgette likes). The boys then decide to make their own video, hoping to get more likes than Bridgette and Courtney's. Jude draws in a bet: if he, Owen, and Harold get more WeTube likes than Courtney, she will give them today's snack (chocolate pudding), and vice versa, much to Owen's worry.

The boys begin their first WeTube video, which features Harold sitting on a chair with 5 balloons tied to it. When Harold unties the chair's tether, it only goes up a few feet. After adding at least 20 balloons to the chair, Owen and Jude resume filming. As soon as Harold unties the tether again, the chair flies high into the sky, much to their surprise. Chef angrily asks Owen and Jude about their uploaded video about Harold flying into the sky and shows them that it got 3,000,000 likes, much to their delight. Courtney is shocked upon hearing this and tells Bridgette to check her video. Bridgette tells her that it got 13 likes but went back down to 12 since Chef accidentally hit the like button. Bridgette tries to give Courtney a high-five for disappointment but the latter refuses, saying that they will do a high-five if and only if they make a video that gets more likes than the boys. Jude then asks Owen to call someone about Harold, who is now in Egypt and calling out for help.

Later, Courtney and Bridgette are now filming another WeTube toy review video. This time, Courtney begins demonstrating Prince Pumpkin Face. Unfortunately, this video only got 7 likes. Owen and Jude then show their video, which is about them getting 'attacked' by a vampire bat and squirting ketchup everywhere, which Courtney hopes to be much worse than her recent video. Chef then tells the boys that their new video caused people around the world to panic and buy garlic in hopes of staying alive and it got 6,000,000 likes, much to Courtney's ire.

In the backyard, Courtney and Bridgette start another video, this time showing Courtney playing safely in a castle-shaped bounce house. Owen and Jude arrive and ask Courtney if she did a flip. She said that she didn't as it is against the rules since she read the manual (which also includes no shoes and no bears). Chef then asks the boys if they uploaded any videos since he is entertained from their previous video as it is almost as funny as the video showing a monkey (actually a gorilla) sniffing its own butt. Courtney tells the teacher that she and Bridgette uploaded another video and asks how many likes it got. Chef checks the video and says their video got 20 likes. Courtney assumes they got 20,000,000 likes but Chef corrected her that their video got just 20 likes, much to Courtney's disappointment since she bounced several times. Chef gives her a piece of terrible advice: that getting 20 likes isn't a bad thing, even though the video is more horrible than that of Owen and Jude's video, and tells her that if she never judges herself against people doing way better, Courtney will never have to know she's bad at things. Bridgette tells Courtney that she thought the video was great. Courtney confesses that using a toy safely as instructed by the manual is not boring, but questions herself if it is boring.

Back inside, Owen and Jude start another video called 'Human Basketball Boy Slam Dunk', which features Jude riding in a giant rubber ball and bouncing around the daycare. Chef tells them that their video received 8,000,000 likes. Courtney is aghast by this since it's not even a thing and yet people watch that. Next, Owen and Jude make another video featuring the Tammy Tinkles doll. Owen then starts the video by feeding the doll with club soda and shaking it until its face is blown off with the water being shot out of it, all before renaming the doll Vicky Vomits. As Jude uploads the video online, Courtney angrily comments that their video was disgusting and no one will watch it before Chef interrupted her by saying that the video got 11,000,000 likes, much to the boys' delight.

Back outside, Bridgette starts recording and Courtney tells the viewers that people only like videos wherein toys are used dangerously and inappropriately so she decides to post a video of her bouncing in the bouncy castle while wearing her shoes. Jude isn't sure about that idea but Courtney ignores him and angrily jumps while asking the viewers if this is the anarchy they want. However, her shoes punctured the bouncy castle and it deflates into the sky. Courtney and Bridgette jump off it before it took off but the bouncy castle's rope coils around Courtney's foot, dragging her and Bridgette along with it. Once the bouncy castle reaches the upper atmosphere, the rope uncoils and the two girls fall, only to be saved by Harold's balloon chair.

Once the three kids land in the daycare backyard, Bridgette uploads the video. Sure enough, Chef tells the kids that the video (named 'Rocket a Bouncy Castle into Space and Find a Friend You Thought You Lost Forever') got 25,000,000 likes. Courtney is happy that she and Bridgette won the contest, which meant that they will get to eat the boys' pudding cups. As soon as the two girls high-five, Chef interrupts and explains that they were an internet sensation since the WeTube website mentioned that what they did was dangerous so they are banned from posting more videos. Hearing this made Courtney enraged, as the boys back away and Bridgette attempts to give her a 'former internet sensation' high-five. The episode ends with Courtney screaming in fury.
