Teen Titans Go! is an American animated television series, based on the DC Comics fictional superhero team, the Teen Titans. The series premiered on Cartoon Network April 23rd, 2013. The series was announced following the popularity of DC Nation's New Teen Titans shorts.[2][3] Teen Titans Go! is a more comedic take on the DC Comics franchise, dealing with situations that happen outside of saving the world.[3] The show is a follow-up to the 2003 Teen Titans TV series, and DC Nation's New Teen Titans shorts, with the main cast reprising their respective roles. The series airs every Tuesday, and then rebroadcast as part of the DC Nation block on Saturday. Beware the Batman is intended to join Teen Titans Go! on the DC Nation block in July 2013.[4]

On June 11, 2013, Cartoon Network renewed Teen Titans Go! for a second season.[5]

Plot

Teen Titans Go! focuses on the "funny business" that happens between the Teen Titans when not saving the world and when living together as teenagers without adult supervision.[3] The Teen Titans must deal with situations such as teenage pranks reaching a whole new level, or having to retake a driver's test after wrecking the Batmobile.

Legendary Sandwich: Raven sends the others on a quest for the ingredients for a mystical sandwich so she can have the television to herself to surprisingly watch a seemingly girls cartoon entitled Pretty Pretty Pegasus. After Raven assigns each Titan to retrieve one of the ingredients, Robin waits at the supermarket for an order of pretzel bread while the others have fierce run-ins with the Sandwich Guardians, who protect the other ingredients. Much to the Titans' dismay, however, the episode ends with Silkie eating the magical sandwich. Robin then reveals that he is also a fan of Pretty Pretty Pegasus.

Pie Bros: After Beast Boy and Cyborg's song about pie, Beast Boy takes a job at Mother Mae-Eye's pie shop to buy an expensive video game for Cyborg's birthday, but his job may cause him to miss the party and lose his best friend. The other Titans also discover that Raven's theory about Mother Mae-Eye baking people into her pies is true.

Driver's Ed: After his license is suspended when he wrecks the Batmobile and his friends get tired of driving him around, Robin enrolls in a Driver's Ed class. What Robin doesn't know is that his driving instructor Ed has some sinister tricks up his sleeve that involve Robin as a getaway driver.

Dog Hand: Raven has been grumpy all day, and the rest of the Titans, (Beast Boy, Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg) finally find out Raven's father is Trigon, and he is coming over to visit. Thinking that Trigon isn't the giant scary monster he is described as, all the Titans except Raven think he's cool. The Titans see that her dad wants her to be like him, and cheer her on to be just like him and grant them more powers (such as Beast Boy turning into anything, Starfire talking like an earth teen, Robin having massive muscles, and Cyborg having a dog's head for a hand). During the training, Raven absorbs all the fear of all the children in Jump City and opens an interdimensional portal. However, when Trigon reveals the last step to becoming a demon would involve killing the other Titans, they tell Raven not to be like her father, which was the point she wanted to make. They defeat Trigon and send him back through the portal, but the powers Trigon granted to the Titans all go, too.

Double Trouble: To avoid playing "Cavemen and Dinosaurs" with Beast Boy, Cyborg tricks Raven into using her duplication power to make two of him. Then, jealous of his clone's relationship with Beast Boy, he clones Beast Boy. Soon, there are too many clones to handle, and it is discovered that the Cyborg and Beast Boy who started the whole mess are clones themselves, created months ago by a lazy and now obese Cyborg and Beast Boy, who found the spell and used it to take a vacation, leaving their doubles behind.

The Date: Robin is madly in love with Starfire, but she is going out with Speedy whom she sees has a lot of similarities to Robin. To do so, Robin kidnaps Speedy and poses as him to ruin the date and win over Starfire. However, Speedy breaks free and battles Robin (as Speedy) as Robin.

Dude Relax: The team places Robin on forced hiatus when there hasn't been a crime in Jump City in a while. Beast Boy teaches him to relax after his high-strung nature begins affecting the team. This leads to Cyborg creating a collar that shocks Robin with an electric fence when he tries to leave the tower, even when a tentacled monster attacks Jump City. While in the tower, Robin finds the reason he couldn't relax.

Laundry Day: Following a fight with a Slime Monster, nobody wants to handle laundry day and the team bickers which leads them to do a series of epic contests to see who will handle the laundry, ending as Raven's responsibility. Soon their dirty uniforms develop a mind of their own when the slime takes over and go on the offensive. In the end, Robin admits that it was his turn to do the laundry, and if they get out of this, he would do all the laundry for a year. Raven then reveals that it was not the slime that brought their uniforms to life, but a spell, to get Robin to admit it was his turn.

Ghostboy: When Starfire mistakenly thinks she has killed Beast Boy, he sees it as a perfect opportunity to torment her, so he makes himself look like a ghost and goes around doing things to play on her highly emotional state, attempting to freak her out. When she figures out he’s only pranking her, she and the other Titans convince Beast Boy that he’s actually dead. However, Beast Boy then decides to jump into a volcano thinking he's dead forcing the Titans to race to keep him from becoming a ghost. The other Titans all become ghosts with Cyborg being mauled by a mountain lion that he mistook as Beast Boy, Robin plummeting from the cliffs when one of the cliffs brekas free, and Raven and Starfire being hit by random lasers from outer space. Beast Boy reveals he knew they were fooling him, but he ends up falling into the volcano rendering all five of the Titans ghosts.

La Larva de Amor: Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven agree to take on the responsibility of babysitting Silkie (the baby mutant moth larva Starfire adopted as her pet) while Starfire is away. While making milk moustaches, Cyborg accidentally hits a button, unknowingly allowing Silkie to leave the tower. A few minutes later the Titans realize Silkie is gone and go to look for him. Silkie is meanwhile outside and ends up in a fried chicken bucket, which floats in the ocean, all the way to Mexico. He meets a Mexican woman named Sonia Conchita Hernández and they hang out. This upsets her boyfriend, a Mexican gangster named Carlos. The Titans cannot find Silkie and panic trying to find a way to not let Starfire know. Silkie, meanwhile, has an exciting telenovella adventure, defeating the gangster and rescuing the woman, he then ends up back in the chicken container floating back in the ocean. Back at the Tower, Starfire comes back wanting to see Silkie. They try to fool her, but Robin finally admits that they lost Silkie. Starfire gets very mad that they failed her and throws starbolts at them. She keeps hurting them until Silkie comes home by himself. She is happy to see him and asks her friends if they want to see images of her journey. The four hurt Titans lie moaning on the floor in pain.
