"Arm Wrestling" is the fifth Actual Short of Season 2.
Summary[]
Blue cheats in an arm wrestling match, so The Second Coming gives him a taste of his own medicine.
Plot[]
The Second Coming and Green have an arm wrestling match. Yellow and Red cheer them on, and The Second Coming emerges victorious, flexing his stick muscles after winning. Green leaves, dejected, and Blue steps up to the plate, himself having drunk a Potion of Strength II. The Second Coming notices this, but decides to take up the challenge anyway. He, however, cannot even move Blue's arm and Blue wins rather effortlessly. Blue celebrates, and Red shoves The Second Coming out of the way to try taking Blue on himself. Red has similar luck to The Second Coming before him, but then, the orange stick notices Alan drawing a flower in Photoshop. He runs up, gets his attention, and asks to be made larger. Alan agrees and does so, and The Second Coming flexes before returning to his friends. Yellow also loses his match with Blue, but The Second Coming walks up for a rematch. Everyone is surprised by his sudden "growth spurt," but Blue takes up the challenge. The two of them are evenly matched, everyone else cheering them on, but Blue's potion runs out and The Second Coming slams him against the table so hard that it breaks. He flexes and "yells," celebrating his victory.

Trivia[]
- Blue's potion effect lasts for 30 seconds and it starts at the 10 second mark and ends at the 40 second mark.
- This is the second instance of a powerful, potion-boosted enemy being defeated because their potion effect ran out. The first instance was Insane Pig's death in Potions.
- The Second Coming being made larger than the rest of the Stick Gang may be a reference to AvA 4, where The Second Coming was originally larger than the rest of the Stick Gang.
- The Second Coming's flexing was potentially briefly referenced in "Hacker - Animator vs. Animation 12" as one of The Second Coming's numerous failed strategies to attempt to reawaken his power.
