Electric Shock Therapy Boogaloo is the second episode of Das Pacito AMV Warriors. It details the fallout of Marx's death, in particular Lenin's reaction, and the catastrophic results of his desperation to bring Marx back to life.

Summary

Jerry is sweeping in the Das Pacitos HQ, when he overhears one side of a phone conversation. The new secretary, Joseph Stalin, is revealed to be the one talking, and he explains to Jerry he's found an opportunity. He then hits a button with the word "NUKE" crossed out and replaced with "HELP".

In China, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky steal a plane from Estrovejas on the grounds that as communists, the plane should belong to everyone. They crash the plane into the IHOP on top of Mount Everest and return to the meeting, where all the Das Pacitos are gathered, and announce that Karl Marx has died. Many of the Das Pacitos leave the group, whittling the lineup down to just Lenin, Trotsky, Luis Frosty, Corn Cob Guy, Wikipe-tan, Great-Grand Daddy Yankee, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Doctor Joe.

The remaining group decides to venture to Leningrad to confront Stalin, and upon getting there they find out that Stalin has renamed the city to Stalingrad and announced to the public that the Das Pacitos are dead and Marx has given the Soviet Union to him. They meet with Stalin in his palace, where they discuss the destruction of China (which unbeknownst to them, has allowed Winnie the Pooh to take over) and Stalin off-handedly mentions that Marx kept many of his ideas in a secret vault, such as the KGB that Stalin now controls. Unable to handle the idea that Marx kept secrets from him, Lenin leaves, and Stalin then mentions another thing: he has evidence that one of the remaining group is an American spy.

While venting his frustrations atop a cliff, Lenin meets Jenny von Westphalen, who reveals that she wasn't actually bothered by Marx's death, because she's actually Baba Yaga. She'd been trapped in hell, and left by transplanting her soul into von Westphalen, as one of the ways to escape involved becoming "the wife of a leader who was not a leader". Lenin is struck by inspiration and goes to talk to Marx's family, ignoring Baba Yaga. Meanwhile, a televised speech by Stalin reveals that he believes Trotsky to be a spy.

The Marx Brothers inspire Lenin to try and save the world, given he can't do anything about Marx's death; Doctor Joe subsequently tells Lenin he can bring Marx back from the dead, making the whole point moot. According to Joe, Marx met a stranger with the formula for necromancy and immortality, and locked him up in the vault due to fears that the information was too dangerous. Lenin agrees to help Doctor Joe revive Stalin, while back in Stalingrad Trotsky is being chased through the air vents by tanks. Joe gives Lenin materials to help him make his way through the vault, and on his journey through it, Lenin finds his way to Marx's desk. He hears an ominous posthumous phone call from Marx, and decides to continue forwards when he hears the prisoner's voice. Lenin finds the prisoner, who turns out to be Grigori Rasputin, with Boyd Cooper in the cell next to him. Rasputin gives Lenin the formula, and he leaves the vault and follows Doctor Joe to his lab.

Two hours later, the KGB tells Stalin that Trotsky has escaped, and he decides to take the Das Pacitos as hostages. Lenin and Doctor Joe arrive at Joe's lab, and Stalin and the KGB arrive (alongside the Das Pacitos) to stop him. Stalin says he knows what Joe is really doing, but it's too late; the ritual has begun. To Lenin's horror, a portal opens, and Joe reveals himself to really be Josef Mengele. The KGB shoots him in a rage, to no effect, and he summons creatures from the portal. The Das Pacitos flee, the exit is barred, and the KGB are killed, leaving only Mengele, Lenin, and Stalin. Lenin attempts to attack the creatures, but is quickly disarmed, and he and Stalin flee through the portal. Meanwhile, Mengele sends the creatures after the Das Pacitos.

Trotsky rejoins the Das Pacitos in response to the pleas of Wikipe-tan, and they escape outside to the city, where they are picked up by Baba Yaga driving a van saying "FREE CANDY". Stalin and Lenin arrive in hell on the other side of the portal, and both proclaim they're going to kill the other.
