Because Pete Will Likely Steal It!
So; after some real estate hijinks that made Pete look like a total loser while proving to Peg that he loves her more than his motorboat; we head back to Spoonerville as Peg is fed up with the males summer antics and demands Goofy and Pete take Max and PJ camping. Max and PJ aren't exactly thrilled; but Pete and Goofy are somehow making it worse for them because they can becomes the SPORTS MAN OF MAN~! Which is extremly toxic even in small quanatites. This also marks the return of another Disney character who earlier appeared on Rescue Rangers. Yes; it's Humprey The One Joke Zone and he's gone all Captain Caveman and Son on us. Yipppeee! Let's rant on shall we...?!
This episode is written by Julia Jane Lewald and the late Bruce Talkington who also story edited. The animation was done by Walt Disney Animation Australia PTY, Limited
We begin this one with a crooked title card that looks awfully bland compared to the last two episodes. Sigh. We are at WELL AFTER HAPPY HOUR (Sunrise) with a sky shot of both residences of Goofy and Pete and then zoom into Goofy's house; and then into Max's bedroom as the sun rises inside while Max is sleeping in his bed. He slowly wakes up; cheers like mad in his red footy pjs and jumps into a pile of clothes. He does the Goofy yell (badly), spins around like Taz (his feet are not black in this one) and dresses himself fully without any nudity being seen. How about that?! That was a pretty creative way to allow Max to be shown dressing up without showing any naughty parts. Max opens the window and is so happy with himself because it's summertime as we pan down to see the telephone can (you know: two cans attached to each end of rope). Max is supposed to cut a Star Trek promo; but Max says "starting" in the audio; not "stardate". It's number four-nine-five-oh-pointless as we pan over to the residence of Pete and PJ's window as it's summer vacation on the planet Earth. Now here; saying Earth is fine because the show has already stated that there are real states in this world. It's basically a cat/dog nose alternate version of Earth; so it works unlike TaleSpin where almost 95% of the locations are absurdly fictional and thus you must claim that the world is completely new. Max claims that it's summertime and we have not began to goof. Well; PJ hasn't anyway. Max has already goofed because his last is Goof. Pan over to PJ sleeping in his rocket bed in his yellow PJ's where the footy part is gone again. Max claims that he has the whole school year to sleep. Wait; I thought that was the biggest reason to enjoy summer vacation: Being able to snore without guilt and without an apology. Max listens to the can and the snoring is so canned that it makes sense. PJ is snoring and Max is ordering Peej to wake up which PJ no sells. So cut to Max's window as Max is playing pool using a hockey stick and a soccer ball. The soccer ball rolls on the wire; floats over and misses PJ due to his snoring; bounces out of the room and bonks hard off Chainsaw. OUCH!
That was an ultra hard shot to the head. I wonder what science tells us about concussions and pets? Hmmmmm... Chainsaw is pissed and chases after the bouncing ball, barking as it bounces into Peg and Pete's bedroom. Yes folks; they are sleeping together, which has got to be hell on earth, knowing their personalites. The ball bounces off Pete's head; Pete wakes up to discover Chainsaw lands on his belly; which looks like he landed on his prick in the animation. Ball also bonks off Peg's head. Uh-oh! Someone is going into the doghouse again; and it's not Pete's fault this time! Peg blows Pete off and stuffs the soccer ball in his mouth; thus basically the term "soccer mom" before our very eyes as she order Pete to get the hell out of the bedroom so she can sleep; despite the fact that Pete did nothing wrong. Pete and Chainsaw back out of the room as Peg slams the door on them; which is purple and pink in color. Geez; what a jerk Peg is? No wonder I started to realize how nice and justifed Rebecca Cunningham turned out to be. Pete teleports to outside PJ's room which he opens the door. Wait; if the door was closed, how did the soccer ball get out of PJ's room in the first place? Stupid logic break. Pete demands PJ to wake up and answers to this outrage, all in that order as PJ is still snoring. PJ finally wakes up as we cut to Max in this room using suspenders to slingshot a plunger while calling him Peejy-Weejy. Why are they friends, again? Pete gets nailed in the back of the head and takes a header into the rocket bed; forcing PJ to leap into the air and run like a Scooby-Doo character into some drawers (NOT THOSE ONES!) and dresses himself. Amazing thing is that he did all this inside the drawers without disturbing the rocket lamp and television set. That is an amazing talent PJ has. PJ runs out of the bedroom and returns to call the plunger on Pete's head cool. (Carlito: THAT WAS NOT COOL~!) Pete is confused of course. So we head to the front door of the Goofy residence as the doorbell rings and it has an extra sound effect to make it funny, I guess. Why? I don't know. Goofy answers the door in a blue shirt, red robe and slippers; having black feet. Lovely!
So PJ is at the door and the Goof and the Peej meet and greet. PJ calls Goofy; Mr. G. Geez; that was awkward. Not as awkward as PJ playing Sonic The Hedgehog up the stairs. I was half expecting him to do the loop-de-loop on the hallway walls; but nothing doing there. Goofy calls him a nice kid (who happens to get the most episodes in this series) and the doorbell rings again. And yes; the clown noise after the bell is built into the doorbell. Goofy opens door and it's Pete with his new plunger hat not looking amused. Pete struggles with the plunger as Goofy asks about his plumbing. Yes folks; Goofy invoked Occam's Razor on something that doesn't work with it. Max and PJ run down the stairs and out of the house as somehow; the plunger lands on Goofy's face. It's funny; but, how did it get on Goofy's face now? Was there a scene where Pete smacked the plunger in his face and BS&P edited it out? Goofy still waves goodbye to them as Pete has been written out by teleport to boot! Sadly; for us, he will come back in this episode. Max and PJ walk down the sidewalk as Max asks PJ what he wants to do first for their first day of summer vacation. I would lie down on the sidewalk and sleep for another hour because I would be tired already. Of course; PJ wants to scare up a beetle to play a prank on Pistol and her bed. Max calls this too pedestrian. I call it too sexist; but whatever. PJ then suggest reading comic books in the store; before the owner kicks them out. Max claims that they are getting warmer; but the deed has to be constructive and socially redeeming. How about sleeping all day? That's constructive in that it restores energy and it's socially redeeming in the sense that you two won't act like a bunch of pranking punks. So we head inside the treehouse to see Goofy resting on a hammock wearing a cyan blue V-sweater instead of the usual orange shirt we usually see in this show. Pan over to a telescope shot of Pete near the fence at the BBQ wearing a white chef's hat and an apron. I see Goofy has taken my advice; which makes him the smarter character in the scene right now. Max and PJ are at their treehouse playing telescope games, DUH!
The BBQ flares up on Pete and nothing happens as we pan over to Pistol playing with her dolls at the tea table; then Chainsaw is sleeping. So Goofy and Pete's pet have more smarts then everyone else in the scene. No word yet on what Peg is doing; but I'm certain it is something really constructive than sleeping. Anyhow; the telescope shot targets Chainsaw (4Kids would have painted the crosshairs out by the way) as Max claims that they have found what they are looking for. Yeah; they were looking for a dose of animal cruelty. So we head to the treehouse as it's condition red and it's time to fire the torpedoes. 1:1 odds they are red balloons filled with water. Because they are kids you see; and not even Goofy is going to let Max buy real torpedo. He's not that stupid. Pete might buy them though. PJ's salute promo is so hilariiously bad as he fires the Rube-Goldbergish Water Balloon Cannon Of Doom. Chainsaw wakes up, panics and bails stage left. I realize that it's just water; but it's still cruel. It runs onto the tea table and destroys the plate of cookies and stuff as Pistol hugs him. Chainsaw has that look of "What?" on it's face as we cut back to Max on telescope calling Chainsaw an alien from...
Staci: Don't say it!
Bradley: Uranus!
Staci:
Real mature, Mr. B!
...Ah; it's so nice to be back in mid-season form after going through these tedious episodes thus far. PJ proclaims that there is only one thing left to do; and he says this in this really dumb voice. Because it's time to blast her with water balloons. PJ then recoils because she might tell on Peg as Max states that it's perfectly okay because she will be cleaner than ever. I put 2:1 odds that she cries for her mother; because Pistol seems to be the one person who loves being dirty. Cut to Pete at the BBQ which has teleported away from the fence and there is a white sheltered area built in the background. The smoke overwhelms Pete and he coughs violently. Pete swears in DUBBED ANIME STYLE about three or four times as Pistol is screaming for daddy in rapid fire as she is running towards him with Chainsaw using the dog as an umbrella as she is dodging water balloons. Pistol hides behind Pete as we jump cut to Max yelling at PJ to cease fire; but PJ cannot because the Rube-Goldberg water balloon cannon has a malfunction at the junction, so to speak. PJ whirls around the handle as the water balloons shoot out of control in various directions as one splooshes the BBQ. Pistol bails and screams for help and somehow doesn't get it. Pete does and is confused by this common human decency BS&P rule of man on women violence. Chainsaw gnaws on a piece of steak being held by Pete causing Peg to come in to blow off Pete. Not because Pete is being an asshole; but because Pete is being "too generous" and giving Chainsaw a steak that it too big for him to consume. HAHA! So Goofy wakes up and water balloons get pelted; as Pistol runs in and whirlwinds Goofy into tying himself up in the hammock. Goofy gets hit with a blue water balloon and he is no longer amused. Screw him; that was funny. Pistol comes back and spins Goofy harshly on the rebound. I wonder if this is what Molly meant in "The Wrong Culprit" about Kit not being able to spin gently. Thankfully; the RGBCOD has run out of ammo as Max and PJ are on the floor of the treehouse holding their ears. They wonder if the adults know about this; and of course they do as Goofy and Pete are on ground level looking cross.
Pete is asking them to come down from time on their precious summer vacation as Max wants to consider a career as a merchant marine. So we head down to ground level with all the babyfaces...and Pete as Pete is yelling at Goofy while Chainsaw is doing the one thing I would like to do right now. Goofy response to Pete's promo was: If my kid was your kid; I'd still be an idiot! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ah; Goofy, you are as honest as you are dimwitted. Don't ever change; even for that accent hating user on Toonzone.net. Goofy nearly breaks his finger giving Pete the point. HAHA! Max and PJ begin yelling as Max is the one playing diplomat here; because Goofy would if he wasn't so dimwitted. Everyone is yelling as the dust clouds pick up; and Pistol is looking on realizing exactly what is coming and Peg screams at the top of the lungs for everyone to quiet down. Really; was yelling "SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU!" too mean for BS&P's tender fee-fee's here? Anyhow; Peg proclaims that Pete and Goofy are fathers; Max and PJ are sons; so DO SOME BONDING FOR GOD SAKES~! And that is almost exactly what Peg says. Goofy of course points out that they cannot keep them tied down the whole summer and is confused. HAHA! Max is not amused as Peg explains that summer time is about the dads taking the sons away, far away from the rest of their families for some peace and quiet; and teach them...thingies. Pete than gets inspired and wants to take them to the great outdoors; even though they all have been outdoors the entire time. Goofy embraces Pete; which causes Pete to shove him aside. I just love the line of Max being in the lap of mother nature, since Max's mom is supposed to be missing or dead in storyline. So the dads simply love the idea of teaching Max and PJ to be independent, couragous, resourceful and not sit on pine cones. I think we all need that last lesson from Goofy; methinks. Pete and Goofy agree to go camping; causing Max and PJ to be shocked and appalled. Well; you are the ones who fired water balloons at defenseless little girls, so screw you two!
Scene change to a shot of both residences as Pete has an RV (which sort of hurts the street cred of living off the land, methinks) and Goofy has his green Jeep with the tent out back. Max is already complaining that they are doomed because they cannot plug video games into a campfire. No, no, no, Max; there is only one enity that is forever doomed...Nintendo everyone! It's been doomed since 1889 and will always be doomed even if it goes out of business because, Mr. Hardcore said so, so it must be true. We cut to Max and PJ as PJ is wearing army fatigues and a green bandana while Max is wearing hunting gear and an orange hat. I just love how Max claims that they have to sleep on rocks; despite sitting on the brick wall separating the two properties. Kit Cloudkicker would kick their asses if he heard them say this. PJ asks if it's the againest the law to force kids to camp againest their will. Answer: no. By the way; Goofy is wearing weighted blue overalls, beige vest, orange shirt and a fishing hat while Pete is wearing army fatigues as well only with a red bandana. Goofy is checking his jeep as Pete is mocking him because Goofy wouldn't survive without buying an RV. Goofy takes this as dare and grabs Max and shoves him into the jeep as PJ gets into the RV on his own. Pete proclaims that he'll give Goofy a race for his life. So the two vehicles all back out of the driveway and we get the car chase of doom as we head into the woods. Goofy's jeep bonks into an invisible rock as the two goofs (HA!) squash and stretch through the open roof and then the trailer axle breaks and the trailer is broken off. Goofy climbs to the back through the open roof; forcing Max to take the wheel as they all panic like crazy. Yes folks; Max is panicking because he has to drive a complex piece of machinery at eleven and a half years old. And people wonder why I love Kit so much? Goofy's response: The car is old enough to drive itself. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I betcha the car is older than Max and is old enough for a drivers' license. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! POW! OUCH! Ummmm... So Goofy slowly tips over and grabs the axle; being stretched out like in the previous episode.
Another more subtle shot of his spotted underwear ensues as the car drives around the mountain side road; causing the old "separate railing" spot as Max is driving the car and here comes the giant green mach truck of death; which takes up the entire road of course. Max manages to turn the car gently and somehow it still manages to turn to the left and avoid the truck with Goofy calling the truck a Sunday driver. Speak for yourself, Goofy Goof. In comes the RV as Pete mocks Goofy and drives past the Jeep while Goofy finally reattches the axle ball to the Jeep; but the Jeep bumps around; forcing Goofy to grab onto the pump test on the trailer and it is ripping around and blinding Goofy good. So the RV goes past some railroad tracks as the barriers come down after that; causing Max to step on the brakes and stop the jeep on a dime; causing Goofy to fly into the air and land in the passenger side seat head first. Max calls this perfect and proclaims that camping is more fun than he thought it would be. Of course it is, because it's Goofy camping. You know funny stuff always occurs when Goofy is doing it. Hilarious logic break: Goofy recoils and then the next shot shows the Jeep speeding off; and the railroad crossing is now completely gone and it's a whole new scene. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! We finally make it to the campsite; and it's the most generic campsite Goofy could find; but Goofy sells it like he just got tickets to see Wrestlemania X-7. But then realizes that he has to share the tickets with Pete Pete; as he sees that the RV won the race. Well, DUH! Give an assist to the train tracks for that one. Goofy is not liking this as we end the segment nine minutes in. Tedious; but it was funny once the car chase got started.
After the commercial break; we head back to the campsite with a southern pan shot of the adult male idiots yelling at each other because this is supposed to be their spot. This clearly sounds like a Bret Hart Vs. Shawn Michaels argument; although that one wouldn't happen for another two years. The adults continue to yell and then stop as PJ and Max slide in and high five each other. HAHA! Max thinks this could work out; but PJ is grabbed by Pete and he marks a line in the ground and tells the Goofs to stay on their side of the damn line. Yes; we are redoing Bad Tidings, only it's with Pete doing the line drawing, which is a vast improvement. So we scene change to a shot of the campsite and then to Pete using a remote control to inflate a large orange tent with a steel chimney attached to it. Pete is so proud of himself; but sadly, he has no cotton in his ears because we hear Goofy sing "x bottles of milk" on the wall. Wait; you cannot say "root beer"? At least that is an non-alcholic drink that is close to the word beer. I club BS&P! Goofy brings out a white sleeping bag as Pete yells at him to stop singing that BS&P song. I agree. Change it to "root beer" and then I'll be fine with you screwing with Pete's mind. Goofy agrees to stop and then scratches his head because he forgot the rest of the word anyway. This is exactly why concussions are not funny; kids. Goofy brings out the book of narration as we are near a tree with tent poles and a tent. Goofy unwraps the paper and proclaims that this is kinda dangerous. I do not doubt him for a second! So Goofy is attaching tent poles which go up his red shirt and the tent pole hit the out of nowhere beehive. The bees are so poorly animated that they are drawn like yellow circles pissing out of the hive in various directions. They look slightly better in the next close up shot as Max is trying to point out that he struck hive; but Goofy blows him off because he concerated. If he means goofy; then it's a hundred percent concerated. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! POW! OUCH! Ummmm... So the hive is somehow popped from the tree and it slingshots away. If you cannot guess where it lands; you have no business reading this rant.
Cut to Pete and PJ as Pete proclaims that the number one rule of camping is to "look out for yourself". Surprisely; I'm wrong and the beehive lands on a log and not on Pete's head. Wow; sort of. PJ screams for Pete to take his advice and Pete praises him...then sits on the beehive. So they stick out their stingers from the hive, and stick it straight up Pete's candy ass. Pete comically oversells it like a cartoon rocket into the air and where he lands, do we really care. Ummmmm...nope. Pete lands on his ass on the road and somehow the hive doesn't shatter. Man; that hive is tougher than Steve Williams. Which Steve Williams? Does it matter? Ummmmmmmmm...nope. Pete screams and jumps off a cliff screaming. Seriously! I am not making any of this up. He splashes into water as we return to the thrilling sequence of Goofy trying to put up a tent and basically creating wooden wings. Max asks if he's sure he needs any help. I'm sure Max's mother said that a lot of time before going missing, too. Goofy says no; and uses the wooden pole to slingshot the wings and himself in opposite directions. So turns into slingshot man as he needs to refers to the "I don't know what I'm doing" section; which I'm sure he won't find anything there. Out comes Pete from the lake with his pants filled with lake water. Water leaks out from the pants; and it's still less than the Nintendo Switch leaks as Pete kicks a fish out of his pants for fun. Pete proclaims that he showed those wasps he knew how to handle them. Yeah; I'll bet you need, Pete Pete. PJ is confused as we cut to more Goofy X Tent Poles as we get a glorified shot of his pink footy pjs. He falls into the convenient sack of stink and rolls in it for a while, screaming. He rolls down a cliff and smashes into something off-screen; which causes Goofy to be a human handgilder. That looked awfully cool; but that makes no sense. More public domain music and Goofy flying make Gregory Weagle something something.
So Goofy turns into a tree bird and flies around the campsite commenting about the ants looking even more like ant. HYUCK~! Pete sees him coming straight for him and he screams as he bails and Goofy smashes into the RV and lands on the ground without doing any damage whatsoever. Disney Captions is a complete moron because in the audio; Goofy says "OUCHIE!; while the captions say "I'm okay!" Yes folks; even in archival footage and even when Goofy doesn't say it; the captions have to say "I'm okay!" If you ever doubted that Disney Captions hates deaf people; there you go! Pete is so upset about this (does it really matter if it's a storyline or a shoot of Disney Caption's lack of respect towards deaf people?) that he jumps off the cliff again and splashes into the water, screaming. PJ and Max run in and help Goofy up to his feet as Goofy is dizzy. Goofy wants the number of that hit and run driver as he is carried away stage right. Somehow; that came off wrong. Anyhow; Goofy is at a tree with a pulley system to pull up a red duffle bag because Goofy is demonstrating the fine art of keeping food safe from wild animals. This is a fools errand considering that Goofy and Max are dog anthros. I see the tent is up in the background. Somehow. Max invokes rule number three of camping: "Be careful." Which should be rule one in real life regardless of action. Goofy praises Max as we see Humprey the One Joke Bear make his second DTVA appearance behind a tree; and he has a son in diapers hiding right beside him. How charming?! Why do babies need diapers when the adult bear is wearing absolutely nothing anyway? And they are real life bears. It's not like toilet training is in the bear caring manual anyway. Goofy and Max bail to get firewood for supper. When they go out of sight; in comes the bears as we cut to Pete inflating an orange inflatable raft with a tire pump. If only his personality was so inflatable. AHHAHAHAHAHAHA! POW! OUCH! Ummm...So we cut to a mountain side with a giant boulder in perfect position to be rolled down and squash the Goofy camp. Geez; I wonder what the next big highspot is going to be now...
So we cut around the winding mountside path with Goofy doing the Kit spot of holding objects bigger than his body weight; only it's firewood and even Max is questionning Goofy doing this spot. Goofy assures Max that everything is fine and tells Max to go on ahead and get the food ready to cook. Max sighs and walks on ahead as Goofy notices a piece of stray wood caught under the conveniently placed giant boulder. Now come on; you cannot be serious not to know where this is going now. Yeap; the bounder gets unstuck and bounces off the hill and crushes Goofy's jeep, tent and stuff (but thankfully; not the food stuck up the tree. Oh, no; that is for the bears to steal and eat of course.). Goofy bumps back into more rocks and does the rolling rock over the cliff and free falls off said cliff. Cut to the bears who have stuffed themselves silly with the Goofs food with pot bellies and burping as then they hear rumbling and here comes GOOFY ROCK & ROLL~! Humprey is confused and then he takes a pebble off his head and then oversells it like he has the most acute concussion in history. Damn; I hate it when concussed victims show off like that! Cut to Pete inflating his little girlfriend...ERRRR...I mean, the inflatable raft and finishing it off as Humprey the One Joke Bear bumps into Pete and they get aquinted in the raft. Humprey kicks the air hose out of the raft and the raft flies like air coming out of a balloon. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....wee! The baby bear in diaper watches on as the raft skips on the lake while Pete screams for help. I wish I could get help for how tedious these episode are to review, but no relief is in sight. So they do the free fall spot as the raft is now an orange balloon for no reason. Pete and Humprey pop up from the lake as Pete demands answers to this outrage; then recoils and then panics and then bails all in that order. Cut to the baby bear watching on from the cliff as Max and PJ come in. Max is surprised to see this baby bear as the baby bear notices them and bails into the woods. Max deduces that it's lost and needs some help; thus showing that even Disney characters are acting out their Disney-worldequse fantasies.
PJ grabs Max on the rebound because you see; it's a baby BEAR! Note the word, BEAR! PJ has clearly forsaken his Disney-equse world fantasies; which he had to do on his own. There's no way Pete could've done this. Max completely ignores him and walks into the wood. PJ cannot believe that Max is this naive and follows him into the wall. In comes Goofy with his stick and he is completely obilivious to the fact that his Jeep and tent are completely destroyed as he puts the stick in the stone circle campfire. HAHA! Goofy brings out a match (Toon Disney Cut Alert~!) and calls out to Max that dinner will be ready in a jiff. Then we hear Pete screaming, sadly. Goofy thinks it's Max on an empty stomach. If only Goofy; if only. Pete runs in and grabs Goofy demanding him to call the milita; which is a dumb idea methinks. In comes...a squirrel. HAHA! Goofy asks about the thing behind him and Pete jumps into Goofy's arms like Scooby onto Shaggy. Okay; that one also came off wrong. Pete finally sees it and stammers like an idiot. HAHA! Pete finally has had enough because this campsite isn't big enough for him and Goofy's small little mind. I love real comments that aren't supposed to be real comments. They blow each other off and threaten to leave; and then turn around and yell for their sons to come back because they are leaving. For real. Ah; yeah Peg; they are bonding so well. Not. Then we get out of nowhere bear prints on the ground and the adult males notice them. They lead into the woods as we play Scooby/Shaggy again as they believe that the kids were kidnapped by the bears. And I betcha; the boys are better treated by the bears than these two goofballs. Although one of them is fully licensed to be one. Chattering ensues as the DVD scream freezes again before going to commercial break sixteen minutes in.
After the commercial break; we have Goofy and Pete staring at each other. Lovely! And then they wring each other panicking that the bears have kidnapped the boys. They wail as Goofy asks what to do now; as Pete grabs Goofy and goes to his RV. Pete opens his RV and throws a bullet shooting rifle and hands it to Goofy. Well; it's nice to know that bullet shooting guns were still allowed in 1992; although the signs of them were slowly starting to be phased out. TaleSpin sort of overloaded that concept on their own show. Then he throws about eight more rifles on top of that. He also throws out a giant bear trap as Pete wants to hunt some bears; which is like saying that "I'm gonna get my money's worth out of this!". Apparently; two weapons for hunting bears are tennis rackets and hockey sticks. Okay; good to know. Pete checks the gear as one of the rifles has a moose call horn on it. Don't ask me why it does as Pete goes into the RV to find bullets and the bear trap falls down and bites right into Pete's candy ass. HAHA! Pete screams and pinballs off-screen into his RV. I see he's already practicing his bear escape techinques. Would work better in a much more open space though. Pete impacts his RV; runs out and runs over Goofy as he teases running off the cliff again. Goofy gets up and runs in to grab Pete on the rebound. Pete thanks him and Goofy lets go of the green band; causing Pete to free fall into the lake once again. HAHA! Goofy then takes this as a great idea because the split up will cover more ground anyway. HAHA! Cut to forest with Humprey who looks around and he manages to speak English (saying the word "son") and looks around. Humprey looks under and around everything; but no baby bear. He then sees the bear trap on the ground (wait; so Pete has a second one in stock?) as Humprey panics as the BALLOON OF CHILD CORRUPTING DOOM shows Goofy and Pete sitting in a living room by a fireplace with the baby bear as a bearskin rug. That was awfully creepy. Not because of the bearskin rug; but the thought of Goofy and Pete in the same room smiling together in unison. That is so sick and wrong!
Humprey gasps, roar and growls with fury and furious vengenance as the sky goes dark with crimson red sky in the background. Okay; now you wish you were Tarus Bullba there, Humprey. Yes; this is the first time Humprey (voiced by Frank Welker) has ever been pissed off in Disney history. Let that be known. Jump cut to Goofy climbing up a tree with literally nothing on it. Jump cut to top of the tree as Goofy looks around and acts like an idiot because he looks up and out of nowhere comes a shunk. Oh please; even Randy Orton's RKO out of nowhere was more believable than this. Goofy stretches the tree down and taunts the shunk with the "nice kitty" promo as Goofy gets off the tree and slingshots the shunk into the air. 5:1 odds it lands on Pete. 3:1 odds it lands on Humprey The One Joke Bear. 1:1 odds it is never mentioned again. 10:1 odds it lands on me. Somehow. Yip; it landed on Pete's mouth after Pete got out of the water again. HAHA! Pete is knocked out...for three seconds and then Pete gasps and hold his breath till he literally turns blue. Probably the only time you'll ever see that and not be related to getting your own way. It doesn't work as we cut to sky shot of the forest as Pete screams after making fart sounds. Cut to inside the forest with PJ and Max as PJ somehow translate Pete's screams as Pete is calling him to come back. HAHA! Max mocks this claiming that he thinks PJ has been eaten by a bear or something. Geez; Max, you are such a cruel little boy as he walks off. PJ follows trying to weasel him and Max out of this nonsense because a bear is a wild animal. Geez; I didn't know PJ knew Baloo's partying habits at Louie's. PJ and Max are talking about tripping on a bear and they trip and crumple in a heap as the baby bear is right on top of them. Of course! The kids scream and everyone bails in opposite directions. What a bunch of dweebs?! They should audition for Mega Man the animated series. AHHAHAHAHAHAHA! POW! OUCH! Ummm...And then fall flat on their faces and face each other. PJ asks why he isn't running away. Answer: Because it sucks at running away; just like you two are doing now.
Max claims that it's because it needs their help. PJ points out the obvious consequences to this as the baby bear seems to be changing brown shades of color on us. It also has Teddy Ruxpin feet syndrome, too. Why is TaleSpin the only show to not have this problem for the most part?! Max pets bear as there are three rules of camping: Be clean, be courteous and be careful. Careful, yeah; courteous and clean; a fools errand. Max claims that being courteous to the bear is the right thing to do. Ummm; being careful I think is the only rule of camping that makes any sense whatsoever; although being clean for the most part is believable. PJ will remind him about being "careful" and Max tells him to trust him. I would trust Kit Cloudkicker (who is also a bear) much more than Max Goof at anytime. Jump cut to Goofy practicing the fine art of not being seen in an area where that is a complete waste of time. This is why I love Goofy Goof; always being careful at the worst possible time. He also has rope and a sack for goodness knows why other than to just be Goofy. Goofy notices movement in bushes and proclaims that he'll catch that bear, bare-handed. Yeah; I'll bet. Goofy jumps into the bushes and we have the FCC FRIENDLY OFF-SCREEN BEATDOWN OF DOOM (which sounds so wrong with Goofy around) as Goofy captures someone. I betcha it's Pete; but I hope it's Peg, just because that would be funnier than anything on this show and not make sense. I check the video...Goofy beats Pete with a riding crop which is great in itself as Goofy checks inside the bag and...damn; I'm so good as Pete is PISSED. That automatically gives this episode a thumbs up now. I betcha Peg is jealous of Goofy now if she saw this, which is unlikely, sadly. Pete ties Goofy up and hangs him upside down on a branch of a tree. See; Goofy is the bait as Pete sets up the bear trap on the ground as Pete tells him to look delicious. Pete should rethink his plan and hang himself upside down if he wants this to work. Bait is supposed to be smelled and not heard. Does that make a difference to a real life bear, Pete? Seriously animal biologists; I would love to know the answer to that.
Pete then twinkletoes away to behind a tree; becoming the most obvious low-rent Fred Flintstone in history. Goofy is in a panic asking Pete if this is neccessary. The answer is "yes", Goofy. Because kids just want comedy, see. I wish Pete has actually said that here; but it's 1992 not 2017 and self-awareness was not a trait in DTVA shows. And behind the bushes; out comes Humprey the PISSED OFF One Joke Bear; who has officially stopped being a joke and has murderous intentions on his mind, all due to an obvious misunderstanding. He growls as Goofy does the worst teeth chattering you ever saw. It sounds like he is wearing John Cena's steel chains. The bear leaps over the bear trap. HAHA! Pete goes to his rifle and he has clearly NEVER used a gun before as he points the rifle at him, ala Rebecca Cunningham. At least Rebecca is a refined person who probably never saw a gun in her life until she got involved in Higher For Hire. Pete has had these guns in his procession for years; and he acts like he has never been trained to use one?! Remind me to make Pete forfeit all his guns right now. Someone is going to die here and it's not going to be Humprey The One Joke Bear. Pete aims the rifle at Humprey; and then drops the weapon and flees. Yes; bear beats rifle. Who needs to arm bears; when the armed humans are so wimpy like this?! Humprey bends the rifle; then drops it as it doesn't break and chases Pete. HAHA! Humprey nearly bites Pete's head off; Pete's head goes into his body. He can only be so lucky. Circle chase ensues and Goofy is just hanging on; making him the safest character in the scene. Goofy twist and spins like a top; showing his inability to save Pete, which is fine because Pete deserves to get eaten by that bear because he was going to kill it anyway. He just needed an excuse to deflect his own bad behavior. The rope unties itself; causing Goofy to panic as he freefall and we get the charming fight between Goofy and the bear trap. After a **** fight; the trap bites Goofy in the ass and Goofy rockets up into the sky screaming. He lands on Humprey The One Joke Bear's bear and we ride bearback with Pete being chased. My wet dream!
This goes on for a while and then Humprey stops to notice that there's a GOOF on his back! Goofy is screwed, DUH! Goofy kicks Humprey in the head several times and runs like the wind. A westerly wind as Humprey chases him. Damn; Humprey much more amusing when he's not doing his panicky running around in a disorganized fashion. More chasing and shoving by Pete on Goofy; as he shoves Humprey again. Uh-oh! Bad move there, Pete Pete. You do not throw the bear; let alone poke the damn bear! The bear pokes on Pete's back and it literally sounds like clown horns. That made me laugh for no reason whatsoever. Pete turns and runs like mad as Humprey growls violently. Pete goes head over feet and bonks into the tree with his head and neck with a nasty sick bump. Humprey bounces in on Pete; Goofy joins in as the FCC FRIENDLY CLOUDDUST FIGHT OF DEATH ensues. Wait; did Goofy just used a steel chair on Humprey? Where the heck did he get the chair? And why didn't he have the chair on the run in? In comes Max, PJ and the baby bear to ruin a perfectly awesome fight as everyone looks shocked and I'm pissed. Damn you Max; I was having so much fun with this until you walked in! Everyone drops everyone and hugs everyone for fun. Pete shakes hands with PJ and calls him a little write-off; because he has to save face as a heel. So we scene change to AFTER HAPPY HOUR (after dark) as everyone sits at the campfire toasting marshmellows and hotdogs while baby bear sits on Humprey's belly. Max calls this his idea of camping out as we pan over to a shot of the moon next to a mountain and we circle fade out ends the episode at 21:14. This is the best episode in the series so far as there was chaos, wacky chases and Humprey wrath to kill everyone. What more could you ask for? **** 1/2 (90%).
THE REVIEW LINE
Now this was more like it as the second half of this episode was a total spot fest; which is Goofy's main strength and the spots were in fact funny. Humprey The One Joke Bear was awesome in this one because he wasn't a one joke bear. While the backstory of him having a baby is kind of silly; it was an improvement from his usual self and having it created a reason for Humprey to break out into a character rather the one joke character he had become in Rescue Rangers. The beginning of the episode was slow as usual; but at least it was build up much better and was much more fun to watch than the previous two episode. Once the bear got involved; it was damn hilarious to watch. The ending was rushed; but it worked out as solid as I though; and I was also glad that Pete didn't turn heel here and want to kill Humprey with the shotgun like I was expecting the finish to be. He didn't even tease it; so that was a plus. Goofy was Goofy and please do not change for anyone. There were a few uneven places here or there in the logic and the animation; but the story was enjoyable and I was rooting for the bear and Goofy at the end to eat Pete; but knew that Max had to make the save and ruin it, so it was sad when he did. Overall; this was a kick ass episode and I want to watch it again; just to see Humprey run rabid. So next up for this upcoming weekend will be Midnight Movie Madness along with Counterfeit Goof and O, R-V, I N-V, U. And yes; the letter do have a full sentence meaning. What does it really say? Find out! So....
Thumbs up for this episode and I'll see you all next time.
