"Skwisklok" is the eleventh episode of Metalocalypse. It aired on October 15, 2006, on Adult Swim.

Synopsis

Skwisgaar is hailed as one of the true masters of guitar playing and he feels very pressured to always be perfect. He's making a live performance, but his bandmates aren't helping his anxiety.

Plot

The episode begins with a music video shoot of a guitar solo that Skwisgaar has written titled "Crush My Battle Opponent's Balls". A freak accident occurs, killing multiple crew members. An edited version appears on TV.

Skwisgaar Skwigelf Advanced Fast Hand Finger Wizard Master Class

Skwisgaar is scheduled to host a pay-per-view TV show called Skwisgaar Skwigelf Advanced Fast Hand Finger Wizard Master Class, leading the rest of the band to demand endorsement deals: Toki endorses the Willard Wonky Candy Hand Candy Corporation. After eating too much candy, his teeth fall out and the sugar rush puts him into a diabetic coma. Nathan makes his own BBQ 'Explosion Sauce'. Murderface endorses a doorknob company called Murderknobs. Pickles endorses Pickle Nickles, the first ever endorsement deal to endorse money itself. The Tribunal discusses the threat of endorsements involving dangerous celebrities like Dethklok, while at the same time admitting eagerness to watch the Skwisgaar Skwigelf Advanced Fast Hand Finger Wizard Master Class -- Ravenswood is even beginning to play guitar himself.

Guitarist under pressure

Before the event, Skwisgaar requests a dragon for the master class, similar to the "Crush My Battle Opponent's Balls" video. A crew member explains that since dragons don't exist they are impossible to obtain, and Skwisgaar fires him. Skwisgaar eventually crumbles under pressure after Charles signs him to a ten billion dollar insurance policy for each of his fingers, then has Skwisgaar wear solid crystal oxygenating hand-aquariums to protect them when he's not playing.

After Skwisgaar has trouble removing the solid crystal oxygenating hand-aquariums, he approaches Dethklok for help. After many failed attempts, Nathan finally pours some of his Explosion Sauce on Skwisgaar's wrists to allow his hands to slip free. Skwisgaar calls for his guitars and a towel, and licks his finger to give the sauce a taste. Skwisgaar turns out to be allergic to cilantro, n key ingredient in the Explosion Sauce. His tongue and hands swell enormously, and his face develops red blotches. He goes onstage to begin the master class, playing much worse than expected, strumming the guitar with his swollen fingers. Nevertheless, the event was successful, with a reporter going on to say that Skwisgaar "truly reinvented the instrument". At one point, fans mimic his moves in the master class by strumming the guitar with stiff fingers.

-Skwisgaar is set to host a pay per view TV show called [[Skwisgaar Skwigelf Advanced Fast Hand Finger Wizard Master Class]]. Meanwhile, the rest of the band demanded endorsement deals: Toki endorsed the Willard Wonky candy industry (his teeth end up falling out, and he has a sugar rush and ends up in a diabetic coma), Nathan makes his own BBQ sauce: Explosion Sauce, Murderface endorsed a doorknob company called Murderknobs and Pickes now endorsed Pickle Nickles. The Tribunal discuss the danger of endorsement involving dangerous celebrities like Dethklok, but they even admit that they are looking forward to watching the Skwisgaar Skwigelf Advanced Fast Hand Finger Wizard Master Class (Ravenswood admited that he began playing guitar himself).

 ===Guitarist under pressure===
-Before the event, Skwisgaar requested a dragon to be in the master class, similar to the music video for "[[Crush My Battle Opponent's Balls]]", but the person working there declined, saying that dragons never existed and therefore impossible to obtain. Skwisgaar, angry, fired the person. Later, Skwisgaar started to crumble under pressure when [[Charles Foster Ofdensen|Charles]] came in and had Skwisgaar sign a ten billion insurance policy, having each of his fingers insured. He also had Skwisgaar wear solid crystal oxygenating hand-aquariums in order to protect them while he was not playing.

-Later, Skwisgaar had trouble getting the solid crystal oxygenating hand-aquariums off and went to the rest of [[Dethklok]] to help. After multiple failures, [[Nathan Explosion|Nathan]] finally poured some of his [[Explosion Sauce]] on the solid crystal oxygenating hand-aquariums, freeing Skwisgaar from the hand-aquariums (he licks his finger and gives the sauce a taste). However, due to the Explosion Sauce containing some cilantro which Skwisgaar is allergic to, his tongue and hands swelled enormously. He went onto the stage and did the master class, but played much worse than expected. Nevertheless, the event was successful, with a reporter going on to say that Skwisgaar "truly reinvented the instrument".
