The Bride of Gingy is a story told by Gingy in the Halloween special, Scared Shrekless.
It is a parody of the 1935 horror film Bride of Frankenstein.
Plot[]
It begins when Gingy goes to the Muffin Man's house, telling him he got kicked out by his girlfriend. He talks to the muffin man, and says he needs a new woman, so the muffin man goes through various gingerbread woman templates, until he chooses his dream one. They get to work making the 'bride,' and Gingy adds too much sugar because he says the girl needs to be sweet. The muffin man is concerned about this, but he bakes the bride anyway. While she's finishing up, Gingy asks for privacy. Muffin Man walks away, and she comes out of the oven shortly after. Gingy looks over her, and decides to name her Sugar. He waits for her to come to life, but nothing happens. As he walks away sad, she comes to life and notices Gingy. She sprints up to him, saying that she was made for Gingy, literally.

There are then various shots of them together, until it comes to a shot of them in Gingy's house. Sugar starts saying about how much she loves him, but eventually, she bores Gingy, and he decides to go out for a walk. She follows him with his umbrella, and Gingy asks if he could be alone only for 30 seconds. Sugar declines, and Gingy tries to think of a way to escape her. He quickly hides his gumdrop buttons and tells her he left them in the house, so she goes to fetch them. Gingy quickly runs away while Sugar's not looking, until she eventually stops him in his tracks. During this, they appear to be in the Muffin Man's house again. She thinks Gingy doesn't love her, and tries to make him change his mind by messily putting on makeup. They then loose footing on the edge of a small plank of wood, and end up dangling from it, where Sugar convinces Gingy to let go so they can die together, but he kicks her off by force, and she falls into a large pot of Gingerbread mixture being whisked. Gingy heads home to relax and watch TV, not realizing that the Ginger bread cookie machine was still on and thousands of clones are being created.
At home, Gingy is sleeping in his armchair, while all the lights are off, and his TV is playing static on its screen. Suddenly, he is woken up by the walls of his house being banged on. He goes to investigate by opening the front door, where a rather zombie-looking Sugar is waiting, and repeatedly murmuring "Together forever...". This frightens Gingy, so he quickly slams the door shut, and locks it. He then looks out the window he sees the clone trying to force it's way inside, and as lightning strikes outside, thousands upon thousands of zombie-looking Sugars are slowly approaching the house. Eventually, they break their way through the house, and Gingy is eaten by them. This obviously is a made-up story. Even though Gingy said it was true at the start, he is still alive in Scared Shrekless.
Trivia[]
- The story reveals the secrets of how the Muffin Man is able to bring sentient sweets to life. Using a combination of meteorology, alchemy, and other basic sciences; a combination similar to the creation of Victor Frankenstein's Monster.
- Gingy said that this was all a true story, even though he was eaten at the end, and is still alive when he tells it. It is safe to assume that he made up the story judging by his reaction to being caught out in the lie.
- It's possible he somehow got out of it alive.
- This is mostly the darkest story told due to its dark ending.
