Counterfeit Goof
Reviewed: 01/08/2017
Which A Lot Of People Saw As Sports Goof!
Now we dive into more silliness with the angle of Goofy as a handyman as Goofy is now having to look after Pete's house while wallpapering, but a guy who looks like him is using him to counterfeit money for some mob boss who loves playing darts as weapons. Oh, lovely! Let's rant on shall we...?!
This episode is written by Stephen Levi and the late Bruce Talkington who also story edited. Stephen Levi's resume is Exosquad, Bonkers and Goof Troop. That's it. The animation was done by Kennedy Cartoons, Inc. with additional services done by Thai Wang Film Productions. Huh; a rookie writer with Kennedy Cartoons animation? Can you say: "TRAINWRECK~!!!!"? I knew you could.
We begin this one at the Goofy residence with a lime green episode title with slanted letters. More remixed public domain music with quacking sounds ensuing. Cut to the window as cat are screaming and someone (Goofy or Max; I don't know) shatters the window with a plank of wood. We head inside the living room as it is a complete mess as apparently; the Goof family is doing family wallpapering. Maybe scrapbooking is more up their alley. Max has the "How To Wallpaper" book and it agrees with Goofy's assertion that Goofy sucks at wallpapering. Goofy is wearing a pink shirt and white overalls with a cap as Waffles snickers. Goofy grabs a wooden plank and almost murders everyone with it as Waffles grabs the globe light on the ceiling. Waffles slips; bonks onto the wooden plank, bounces around as this causes a bucket of glue manages to fly around and slam onto Goofy's head. Goofy slingshots into Max and Waffles and splatters onto the wall as the wallpaper book is torn asunder. A page lands on Goofy's nose as it tells him to be careful with the paste because it can lead to sticky problems. Good to know and Max agrees with me. Head outside Goofy's front door as Pete arrives in a fishing outfit with fishing gear calling Goofy the Goofster. He's not an orange goblin, Pete; go check your projection there. Pete opens the door and informs Goofy that he has brought his house key. Goofy unsticks himself as he grabs page thirty-two. Which better have pictures; or the page is bullcrap! He needs rule 34; but he ain't getting it and neither is Max as Pete's face gets Kennedy-ized before he laughs out loud. Goofy greets him anyway because Goofy~! Pete mocks the Goofs as he hands out his keys. He gives them to Goofy and they are stuck together as the massive weight of Pete unsticks Goofy and they shake hands without intent. HAHA! Pete kicks Goofy off into the wall as Pete's boot is stuck on Goofy's mid section. Pete now has human feet for some reason as Pete goes over and pulls on the shoe which stretches the glue, shoe and Goofy forward.
Pete finally tears the shoe off causing Goofy to impact into the wall and break through it. Pete's shoe is stuck in his hands as he protests this outrage some more. A piece of wallpaper gets stuck on his left foot as he throws the shoe and it springs back like a hand version of a yo-yo. Shoe smacks Pete in the face and is flat on his back as Goofy offers Pete to stay and help. Pete gets up and blows it off hating wallpaper and glue; so he's going fishing, see. Kennedy's drawing of Pete's face continues to look as wacky as the company itself. Goofy assures him that Pete's house will be looked after and pats him on the back as more glue sticks to them. Goofy pulls and literally pulls off Pete's fishing shirt as Pete is angry and then runs out of the house like a scalded catnose. Goofy shows actual sympathy for the poor guy, claiming that he NEEDS this vacation. Max pulls the piece of shirt off Goofy's hand and sums this up nicely for me. Pete's phyisque is ultra grotesque even by fatass' really low standards of physiques. Goofy puts some wallpaper and pastes Waffles with it as he wants to get this done since they have to start on Pete's house. Max is surprised by this as Goofy claims that Pete wants them to wallpaper his house while Pete is gone fishing. Max insists that Pete was using sarcasm; which makes no difference because I don't think Goofy knows what sarcasm is and he doesn't. Goofy squishes Waffles in the wallpaper (speaking of animal cruelty) as he wants to start a new career by wallpapering Pete's house. I can see this career now: Goofy finding ways to make Peg put Pete in the doghouse. Goofy & Son: Wallpaper R Us. R U ribbing me, Goofy?! Max is probably thinking that right now as Goofy notices the wallpaper is very lumpy. Goofy takes a stick and whacks Waffles with it (again, speaking of the obvious...) and then squeezes Waffles out of the wallpaper as Waffles screams loudly while splashing into the bucket of paste. Whatever, Goofy. Goofy grabs Waffles and uses him as the past brush to smear glue on the walls. Waffles is wringed out during this as this is getting really uncomfrontable to watch now. Goofy slams Waffles into the glue as Max gets splashed with paste.
Waffles climbs out of the bucket and does the Looney Tunes pertification spot as Goofy is rolling the wallpaper and rubs too hard causing a part of the wall to crumble. Goofy then notices Waffles in his pertification spot and thinks it looks like Waffles; offering the cat as a doorstop for Pete. Oh; for Pete Pete's sake Goofster, you suck! Goofy then settles this all that he's going to wallpaper Pete's house right now. Max slips and slides; falling on his ass in the paste with the bucket landing on his head asking where he is going and Goofy proclaims that he's going to the wallpaper store to get more wallpaper stuff. Goofy slams the door into Waffles; which causes Waffles to be unstoned; but have a dizzy concussion in the process. He pratfalls off-screen as we jump cut to the streets of Spoonerville with Goofy in his Jeep stopping in the middle of the road. I assumed it was supposed to be an intersection, but Kennedy Cartoons has no idea how to draw one properly since their traits are shuffling feet, side mouthing and a lot of breaks in internal logic, like this scene for instance. In comes a yellow hot rod driven by a wolf like furry with a buck tooth wearing a grey trenchcoat with hat; leaving us no doubt that he's a major heel here. Geez; and I thought the McGruff crime dog criminal stereotype died in the 1980's?! He looks like evil Goofy on the closeup shot; thus proving my point of Kenndy Cartoons' lack of internal logic. The man is on his cellphone (which is a regular red phone, natch; so Kenndy Cartoons doesn't even know what a Paul E. Dangerously cellphone looks like) tells the person to meet him at the corner of Fifth and Main street in five minutes. Evil Goofy looks at Real Goofy and RG hums a tune for a while. Then they have a staring contest with each other while we hear sputtering sounds for no reason. Light turns green as they decide to do some drag racing antics; which are now illegal. The hot rod starts up ready to ride; but the Jeep gets out of the blocks first. HAHA! So the hot rod races and catches up and then goes behind and slows to a crawl because the jeep is a road hog in a two lane highway. HAHA!
EG protests this outrage; but no sound comes out because he is saying language not suitable for family viewing. Of course! So they play dodge driving for a while as EG tries to sail left; but a giant mach truck arrives right straight at the hot rod causing EG to panic and ride literally half hot rod onto the sidewalk; but someone passes the truck unharmed. I don't recall there being a sidewalk during this; so Kennedy is out to lunch again. So EG catches up with Goofy again as they drive side by side. EG tries to warn him; but we get the dreaded drive into a construction site spot causing the workers to bounce up and down into the hole they dug. EG thinks he's passed Goofy; but Goofy cuts him off and parks in front of Wallpaper R'Us, Wallpaper Inc. I guess it's okay to trademark: "Goofy & Son: Wallpaper R Us." Goofy walks out and into the store as EG parks his yellow hot rod beside the jeep and protests at Goofy as Goofy goes through the sliding doors of doom and EG gets whirlwinded out of the store as a result. EG is not amused and walks in; getting whirlwinded again as Goofy instantly comes out with the wallpapering stuff. Geez; that took like three seconds, only three times more than Caron getting the lunacy record. EG comes out, tackles Goofy down in between the cars and proclaims that he has a bone to pick with him. Now wait a minute, sir; if it's about the pacing of the show, that's not his fault! That's the writers for trying to extend eleven minute plotlines into twenty two minute episodes. All the wallpaper stuff splatters into the hot rod which pisses off EG even more. Goofy apologizes; but EG demands that he get it out right now. Goofy tries to open the door; but the handle breaks off. Geez; this is turning into a similar motif Miss Lips has in Fish Hooks now. EG is even more pissed off now and then stops and breaks off the handle to Goofy's door with a smile. So they smile like gentlemen and start destroying each other's car with impunity. Stop it, guys; you are just giving Johnny Ass...ERRR...Johnnt Test ideas. Just because Johnny is an idiot; doesn't mean he doesn't understand.
This leads to EG taking Goofy's bumper off and an out of nowhere trapdoor opens up and EG falls into it screaming. Riiiigggggghhhtttt. Goofy looks down at the trapdoor and calls him a funny looking weirdo. Oooookkkkaaayyyy. Goofy goes over to the hot rod as a red limo arrives featuring a driver and brown dog with a brown mustache and dark skin; wearing a suit, black shirt and red tie in the passenger side looking at a photo showing EG in prison gear and number. Apparently; his same is S. Slick. No word yet on the first name; so EG's last name is Slick (voiced by Richard Karron) at least. He looks out and calls for Goofy and Goofy goes over to the limo and the brown dog admits that he heard that Goofy was the best paper man around. Spoonerville or the world? Because if it's the former; I would run right now. Goofy claims that his reputation must receeded him. HAHA! I love real comments that aren't supposed to be real comment. I think the brown dog's voice is Rob Paulsen; but I'm not entirely sure as we cut to inside a pit as Slick is protesting this because they think Goofy the numbskull is really Slick. At least they look similar enough to be believable; so I can feel for him on that at least. Slick tries to climb up the walls; but slides down with a thud because the wall are too slick for even Slick. Cut back topside as the brown dog and Goofy climb into Slick's yellow hot rod as Goofy asks if he knows the owner. The red limo drives away as everyone buckles up; with Goofy being wary of reckless drivers. HAHA! Goofy backs the hot rod and then speeds away causing a five car pileup out of nowhere. How is that even possible?! Oh wait; Kennedy Cartoons is animating this, my mistake. Slick climbs out of the trapdoor and protests this outrage; slipping. Jump cut to the bathroom as Waffles is a furball literally. Max is using the hairdryer on Waffles and admits that he's not very good at this. At least one Goof is showing remorse for this poor cat. Max grabs the cat as he wants him and Waffles to get some fresh air. Which sounds perfectly reasonable; but Waffles scratches the bathroom drawers in protest; but that fails.
Max (with Waffles in tow) walks out of the house proclaiming that this isn't so bad. Waffles is put down on the ground giving a shot of Chainsaw laughing like a hyena in the process. I admit; that was funny. Max is not amused and proclaims that he needs to find Goofy and tell him that Pete doesn't want his house wallpapered. Yes folks; Max seriously doesn't want Pete Pete in the doghouse. What a nice boy Max is?! If only Pete had the courage to say that; but he won't. We cut to the red limo driving through a gate and into a driveway towards a large mansion as it stops. Goofy arrives in the hot rod with the brown dog in tow as they stop in front of the mansion. Goofy is glad to bring his tape measure. I would be glad if he brought a compressor to compress the length of these episodes. So a French stereotype cat nose butler with a black mustache and a coat arrives at the door inside and opens it. Goofy is confused as the butler proclaims that this is the home of Mr. Braxton, who is waiting in the library. So Goofy follows the butler down the hallway and notices a picture of a sexy woman with jewel in an Arbian setting. Pfft; whatever. He calls it crooked (even though it's clearly straight; and tries to correct it; but it falls and lands on the butler's head. Goofy apologizes; but the butler is not happy at all. Goofy tries to get the picture off the butler's head; but Goofy's ass bumps into the table containing a vase. Goofy somehow turns over and grabs the vase and puts it on the table; only it shatters into a million pieces complete with "Wah-wah-wah" sound. Oh lovely; that vase is clearly not up to code. Am I watching Kick Buttowski in a Disney Afternoon disguise?! The butler shrieks in protest; demanding answers to this outrage. The vase is priceless and Goofy breathes a sigh of relief because he thought it was worth something. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Do I need to tell everyone to never use the word priceless in these situations? Goofy goes over to the butler and pushes his foot into the butler's face as he pops the picture from the butler's head; causing the butler to fly stage right and he crashes off-screen. Heh. So we head to Braxton's office as we see a purple suit catnose with black hair at his desk with a dart; along with the black hat, grey trenchcoat wearing dognose driver beside him. Braxton asks about the racket outside as the butler dances into the library office punch drunk claiming that Slick is here.
Braxton pounds on the desk and demands him to get in there now. Somehow; the brown dog has completely teleported into the office without being seen in the scene from the mansion to now. Yeah; it's Kennedy Cartoons; what did you expect?! In comes Goofy asking if Braxton is the gent who needs the paperin' done. So Goofy's job is to sell free tickets to a professional wrestling house show?! Braxton brings out his luggage and pours that MONEY, MONEY, YEAH, YEAH on the desk; asking if Goofy can handle this job. Goofy grabs the wad of bills and is giddy about wall papering anything. Goofy is given the luggage of money as Braxton tells him to go away and not come back until the job is done. Goofy asks which room to start; as Braxton tells him that he must paper the entire town. Goofy loves this as he wants to start at Pete's. Goofy waves goodbye as he walks out; Braxton has the dart sighing. Braxton explains that he wants Slick to switch the fake money with the real money; and this will make sure Braxton will never have to steal from anyone ever again. Braxton is missing the dartboard with the darts; causing the driver to keep ducking on cue. Man; even Baloo's more accurate in spelling (and in darts) than this loser. Braxton asks why that should that stop them as everyone laughs and smiles with their toothy smiles. So yeah; Goofy is now a counterfeit salesman which he doesn't even know. Speaking of Goofy; we cut to outside the driveway of the mansion as Goofy gets into the yellow hot rod and backs out of the driveway and speeds off towards Wallpapers R Us. Surprisely; no car pile up occurs. Really sloppy form there; Goofy Goof. Cut to a telephone booth near the wallpaper store; which we didn't see earlier as Slick is in the booth calling for Braxton. He is talking to the butler of course as Slick address himself and the butler does the "LMAO" spot. Peachy! Slick hangs up and wonders what is going on. I'll tell you what's going on: Goofy is competing on your turf and even he doesn't know it. Slick proclaims that he has got to get to Braxton's and notices Goofy's jeep. Slick enters the car of course. So we are now "Even Steven" in terms of Grand Theft Auto in this episode. Slick backs up and speeds away just as Max on his skateboard, skates in yelling at Goofy to stop because he has something very important to tell him. Slick speeds away as Max gives up and stops; asking where he is going and that ends the segment 11 and a half minutes in. Wow; that was quicked paced and it was still seven paragraphs in length. Okay episode thus far; in spite of Kennedy screwing up the pooch, as usual.
After the commercial break; we jump cut to a manison as the Jeep goes into the driveway of the mansion and somehow the gate is locked despite no evidence of seeing anyone close it. Max is outside the gate watching on. Slick goes to the front door as Max squeeze through the gate, no idea why the gate is even there to begin with. Slick rings the doorbell and whistles. The butler answers the door and is clearly offended as they exchange "You" and "Me" to each other; with the butler looking incredibly pissed off. The butler brings out a spiked mace from the conveniently placed wall and tries to kill Slick with it; but Slick dodges and enters the manison. Slick closes the door as the butler smashes the door with the mace as Max looks on. Max wonders what is going on here. What is the butler doing; or what is Kennedy Cartoons doing? I know the answer to the butler; but I have no answer to Kennedy's animating here, Max. So we head inside the wallpaper store of doom with Goofy as he puts the funny money of doom on the counter in front of a mole like furry who is bald and wearing German styled overalls, white shirt and has a black mustache. Why is everyone's mustache in this episode the same style? Goofy addresses him as Wilhelm as wants lots of wallpaper. Wilhelm calls Goofy Goofin and hugs the fake money and gets dollar signs in his eyes; ala a bad episode of Ducktales. Wilhelm gives him a shopping cart as he gives the keys to the store basically. Goofy just wants the wallpaper to show off his modest side as Wilhelm doesn't give a damn. Goofy waves to him as he goes over to the pile of wallpaper and pulls a purple roll from underneath the thousand foot pile and we get rumbling noises. Wallpapers falls as Goofy bails stage right with the shopping cart. Goofy slips on white wallpaper as we get runaway wallpaper for a while. Goofy is bounced out of the wallpaper store which has completely lost the "Wallpaper R Us" cotton candy sign. Yeah; continuity is impossible to explain to Kennedy Cartoons as Goofy laughs while bounced out by the wallpaper. Jump cut to in the hallway as Slick is being chased by the butler with the spiked mace; as Slick (I think) is whimpering.
So the butler breaks through the door to Braxton's office as he grabs Slick and then nods to Braxton at his desk. Braxton wants answers to this outrage. Butler opens the door and lets Slick in anyway even though he was on the other side of said door when he busted through. Braxton demands answers to Slick's "return" as we cut to outside with Max at the window wondering what the hell they are even saying. Jump cut back to the wallpaper store as wallpaper is all in the carts as Wilhelm is eating a sandwich while ringing in items. Goofy comes in with spotted red wallpaper as Wilhelm calls this the happiest day of his life. Geez; Wilhelm, you really were wanting so bad to get on camera in a cartoon; aren't ya? Goofy shows off the Goofy eye pattern red wallpaper (as the pupils didn't exist in the previous shot of course) and then gets binded by it. Wilhelm (voiced by Jim Cummings; doing the worst German accent I have ever heard) claims that it brings out the color of his eyes. Yeah; I'll bet it does. Goofy takes it as Wilhelm stuffs a sandwich in his mouth and it looks like peanut butter ham sandwich to me. Okay? Goofy is spun out of the wallpaper and into the cart as lunch is also on the house. Peanut butter splatters on the wall and even Goofy points that out to us. Of course! So we head back to Braxton's office as Slick is explaining the situation with Braxton as the driver and the brown dog gangster has returned for no reason. Slick goes on and on and on and on and on and Braxton tells him to get to the point. I'm disappointed in Braxton because he didn't throw a dart at him saying that. Braxton is just another goofy looking TMNT villain with wacky fashion sense and no sense of orginality nor even being memorable. He blames the brown dog for this and Braxton points the dart at Slick blaming him for everything because it's never the boss' fault. Even though Slick was blaming the brown dog; who is not the boss of this operation. That makes no sense at all. Braxton points the dart at the brown dog; and the brown dog uses the driver as a shield as Braxton sticks a dart into the driver's hat for fun.
Braxton cleans a dart with his hand as Slick gives Braxton a Gruffi pose; causing Braxton to fling a dart at him. HAHA! See; only Gruffi, Kit and Rebecca are allowed to do the Gruffi pose. Kit and Rebecca can because they are awesome and Gruffi was the inventor, see. Max proclaims that they cannot do that to his dad and instead of bailing and calling the police; he opens the window. Geez; you think Max is going to get caught now? Cut to Goofy arriving at Pete's house in the hot rod with the wallpaper supplies; but stops at the driveway of Goofy's house anyway. Goofy gets out whistling and slams the door; which causes the hotrod to make crashing noises and a flat tire; for no reason. Goofy enters house and asks for Max to come; but there's no answer. Goofy checks behind the door to notice that the doorstop is missing and Goofy deduces that someone stole his cat like a cat burglars. Hmmmm; Jack W. Tweeg?! Thankfully; Goofy shrugs it off and walks around as Waffles notices him and got his shape back to boot. Goofy calls for Max and then notices the house key on the wall above the fireplace, stuck with paste. Hmmmm; I wonder what the next spot will be? Thankfully; the key snaps off the paste without incident and Goofy grabs two buckets of paste proclaiming that Pete will never even know the place. Of course he won't; if Peg has anything to say about it. Cut back to Braxton asking Slick about Goofy as Max is foolishly trying to open the window. Braxton demands to know where Goofy is poking a dart up Slick's nose to boot which apparently came from his desk drawers (NOT THOSE ONES!). Oh; now I understand why Max hasn't left: He thinks Slick is Goofy because he banging on the window yelling at them to stop. What an idiot?! Memo to Max: Wasn't Goofy wearing white overalls and a pink shirt earlier? He left the house to go to the wallpaper store without changing his clothes! The window opens and Max plops into the room blowing his cover. Of course! Idiots, all of them; but mostly Max Goof! Max grins like an idiot as the goons surround him to end the segment 15 and a half minutes in. At least the DVD freezing has ended.
After the commercial break; we see Max and Slick in green chairs and Max is not even tied up; nor Slick. Braxton takes the back of the dart and tickles underneath Slick's chin demanding to know if Slick is Max's father. Slick blows him off because he isn't anyone's father. Too bad DNA evidence wasn't a big thing in 1992; because that would have been interesting to say the least. Max instantly realizes that this is not his father and is relieved. He calls it his mistake as he apologizes and attempts to bail; but Slick grabs him and plops him on the seat as he proclaims that Max's dad has the money. Braxton throws darts at Max and Max weakly dodges one; because one of them sticks to the chair in an area where it would have missed Max even if Max didn't move. Braxton cleans a dart with a pool cue and asks Max where daddy lives as Max goldbricks. Braxton throws a second dart at Max; but Max dodges and would have missed again if Max didn't move. Slick then shows the DMV car registration to show Max up of course. Remember that Slick returned to the manison in Goofy's jeep. Braxton has an evil smile as we head back to the residences of Goofy and Pete as wall paper pieces are floored all over the driveways, walkways, sidewalks and even the street. Oh; and the garbage can is leveled of course. So we head into the living room of Pete's house as Goofy has wallpaper, buckets of paste and a wooden step ladder all over the floor along with a painting propped againest the wall. Waffles is looking on via a window as Goofy climbs the ladder and puts the crystal base lamp on top of the giant screen television which is unplugged and in the middle of the room. Goofy drops down and looks around checking his various supplies of tool box, glue and lots of paper. Lots and lots of paper he adds. There is also water, a sponge and a vacuum steamer; because this episode really sucks! HAHA!
Ron Sparks: It sucks more than Sean Desmond.
Goofy flicks the switch on the steamer as it's basically the Whatchamecallsit; which sounds like Wooly's cousin in the mountains. It bounces and we get a lot of stream as Goofy chuckles. So Goofy steams the walls and then turns off the steamer. Magically out of nowhere; some red wallpaper is already on the wall as Goofy pats it down. And people are surprised that Kennedy Cartoons gets a lot of hate from DTVA fans?! Goofy gets tied up by the wallpaper because every spot must involve Goofy getting screwed. At least it's a million times funnier than Donald doing it because Goofy is supposed to be an idiot. Jump cut to Wilhelm on the telephone looking at the money as he talks to the police on the phone as green paint is dripping from the bills. The bills are fake, you see. So we cut to the street as Goofy's jeep finally sputters and arrives at Goofy's house as Slick is angry about Goofy destroying his car. I think Pete would be more concerned about his house being destroyed than your car there Slick. I mean; let me tell you the story of Pete's beloved...Oh wait; I still have a rant to finish up. Max is in the middle seat with them as we head inside with Goofy continuing to do the worst hack job of wallpapering in the world today as Goofy proclaims that he cannot wait to see Pete now. Sadly; Goofy will have to see him at Chainsaw's place very soon. So Max and all the heels enter Goofy's house as Max proclaims that they will be sorry. He also calls him cheese breath. Oy vey; Max, no wonder the Stars hate 1990's kid. That insult was lame and makes no sense since none of them eat cheese at all. At least Kit's crook insult is sort of in the ball park with what Don Karnage was doing in Plunder and Lightning Part Four. This leads to brown dog and driver trying to enter the house at the same time and failing badly. They all come in and Goofy is gone as Braxton thinks someone beat them to him. HAHA! Max assures us that this place always seems ransacked. HAHA! Braxton orders his men to find him and they scatter in various directions. Braxton and Max simply walk stage right as we cut back to Goofy doing his damnest to make Pete's next doghouse visit one Pete will never forget.
Yeah; I know this is all Goofy's fault, but is Peg going to believe that? Goofy loses the door as we return outside with the heels and Max. Naturally; they cannot find him. They hear crashing noises and then the heels all look from the brick wall and notice Goofy in shadow wallpapering. And whistling of course. Braxton orders the heels to get Goofy as Max tries to run in yelling at them to leave Goofy alone. Yeah; let the idiot make Pete sleep in the doghouse tonight, dammit! Braxton grabs Max and ties him up with the garden hose as the driver and the brown dog do the LB laugh and fail badly. LB: Even Tweeze can do a better job at that than you. I'd call it a back handed compliment; but bounders have no hand. A back-footed compliment, maybe? Nah; sounds too football-ish. Slick decides to enter Pete's house as we cut to Goofy cutting out a model of Pete Pete on the front door. HAHA! I just love how Goofy is unintentionally covering his ass here by cutting Pete's look in the door to make Peg believe Pete was behind this. If Peg doesn't fall for this; sonofish I will be disappointed. Goofy kicks the front door down as he claims that Pete's gonna eat it up with a spoon. Probably leftover dog food from Chainsaw's dish no doubt. Slick looks at him and Goofy thinks he left a mirror outside. Never mind that Slick is wearing his trenchcoat and hat here. Goofy has no idea how mirrors work, even in a cartoon world. Goofy goes out and looks at Slick's back and thinks Slick is a hologram. Slick has finally had enough of this crap and rolls up his sleeves in the universal sign of wanting to punch the crap out of Goofy. Slick jumps, Goofy ducks and then Slick returns and wrings Goofy's neck! Goofy screams that the hologram is out of control and somehow doesn't sell the choking part. Bad acting from Bill Farmer there. Goofy runs into the house as the other heel head up the walkway as Max is hopping towards the garage. Goofy runs out screaming and the selling of choking is better; only Slick's not choking him anymore. Even Kennedy cannot be blamed for this stupidity.
Max hops up and down at the brick wall as the heels surround Goofy. Brown dog tries to punch Goofy in the punch; but gets Slick instead because Goofy ducked while putting his cap on. Why it was even on the ground is a mystery to me. Braxton has a headache and I do too, albeit for a different reason. Driver punches Brown Dog in the nose causing his nose to invert into his skull. Wait a second; am I watching Fist Of The North Star in furry form now? Brown dog pops his face, punches someone on screen and then we get the FCC FRIENDLY CLOUDDUST FIGHT OF DEATH between the heels; with Goofy being right in the middle of it. Goofy simply pops up and walks away from it. HAHA! Braxton sees him and yells at the idiots. The heels chase Goofy as he does his redneck cry of doom, which never gets old. So we head inside the living room and chase around a bunch of paintings. I have long past gave up on yelling at Kennedy Cartoons not following internal logic in this show; so let's move on. Max bounces to the faucet attached to the garden hose and uses his nose to turn it on. Fighting in the house off-screen ensues and Kennedy cannot even be bothered to make the house bouncing look creative nor exciting. The water is inflating as Max wants to rethink this. Idiot. More chasing in Pete's living room makes Gregory Weagle something something. I know what it's going to make Pete Pete do do. Slick and Goofy tumble to the ground and they have a lame fight as we get the FCC FRIENDLY CLOUDUST FIGHT OF DEATH; which goes nowhere as they tumble into buckets of paste while the other heels do absolutely nothing. Because, why not. The heels are suddenly fight on who to grab. UGH! You idiots! Only one of them is not wearing a trenchcoat. The one without the trenchcoat is the one you want to grab. It's obvious! So we see Max rocketing to the heavens due to lots of water in the hose, don't care. The coat comes off for Slick as Slick paints Goofy's nose with the paintbrush. Oh; this means war! Bucket slam to the buckethead of Slick! PAYBACK~! Wallpaper bats to the bucketheads!
Braxton suddenly brings out his pistol and fires it. Wait; WHAT?! They have been playing around with the gimmick of Braxton bringing out darts as a weapon and now they decide to give him an out of nowhere gun. Sod off; bookers! If he's only allowed to use darts; then he uses darts throughout. Cut to Max going into space; because this show thinks Darkwing Duck spots work in an asinine cartoon. They often don't. Yeap; we have a rookie writer with a stereotype vision on what it thinks cartoons are really like. Idiot! The ceiling crumbles a bit as the fighters stop and Braxton likes this better. Well sod off; Braxton! Not only did you ruin a perfectly good fight; you killed your best gimmick to boot. Now; you are just a TMNT villian at best. Braxton aims his guns at the goofs as they raise their arms and shake like leaves. Braxton wants his money; or they ride the bullet express. If this scene is not cut by Toon Disney; then you cannot tell me TaleSpin was downplayed by Michael Eisner. Oh wait; they skipped it altogether?! Really?! Why?! They couldn't cut out the gun scene here? Baloney! Goofy proclaims that he loves trains; which probably means he loves bullets like HHH loves dick jokes. Braxton sticks the gun into Goofy's nose and Goofy's nose sticks the gun out. Braxton demands to know where the money is and Goofy points out that he bought enough wallpaper to cover the whole town. Braxton grabs the gun and cannot believe he spent his fake money on wallpaper. Goofy even got a ten percent discount on that; which would be enough dogfood for a week for Pete, methinks. Max finally comes down from space as Braxton blows off a lot of steam of course. Come on guys; I would think sticking the gun in his nose would have been cut; but you skipped the episode altogether just because of that. Idiots! Braxton points the gun at the goofs as they play Scooby and Shaggy for a while. Max finally comes down; breaks through the wall of Pete's house unties himself, knocks Braxton down (and somehow doesn't dislodge the gun); ties up the goon squad to Goofy, Braxton and Slick and is holding the end of the garden hose. You got all that?!
So in comes Wilhelm with the inspector and the police officer, all with their hats over their eyes. Except for Wilheim of course; although him with his eyes covered with a hat would be much funnier. The officers' names are Doug-o and Young Doug by the way; according to the inspector and they are twins also. Max protests this because one of them is the counterfeiter and the other one is his dad. But wait; the real Goofy give the fake money to Wilhelm; so even if Goofy is the real dad; he's still the counterfeiter since he was the one who gave Wilheim the money. I betcha this little detail will be ignored because we are dealing with a rookie writer here. The inspector asks Max who is who as Max calls out to Goofy. Slick jumps out and proclaims that he's the real dad; even though his voice sucks. Oh lord, it sucks. Goofy comes out and steps on a bucket of paste upset at Max not knowing his dad; which is enough for Max to run in and hug his dad for real. HAHA! See; you can do this spot without violence. If this were today; Slick would have gotten thrown a bucket of paste on his head. The problem with that is; that would mean Max in real life would be arrested for assault because the police are right in front of him. So Max not throwing the bucket on Slick's head makes sense. Slick is arrested anyway as Slick is goofed again. The heels are dragged out by the police as the inspector proclaims that there will be a reward for this for sure as Max is relieved because someone has to pay for all this wallpaper. Wilhelm shakes his hands with glee for that one. HAHA! Max screwed Goofy out of his reward money! To be fair; he would have to pay Wilhelm anyway for the wallpaper, so it's perfectly acceptable. Wilhelm is relieved that Goofy wasn't a crook; even though he was the one using phony money. DUMB! So we head outside the Pete's residence as Pete's car arrives at the driveway and Pete walks to the door to see the door cut in his model. Pete apparently left his fishing lure in his own sock drawer. I'm certain you left it in the doghouse after the last great verbal beatdown by Peg. He looks inside to see Goofy and Max wallpapering the house. Pete is speechless as Goofy yells surprise. Pete drops dead and Goofy thinks he likes it. Max and Goofy climb down as Max wants to get out of there before Pete wakes up to express his gratitude. Goofy agrees because he wants to wallpaper the outside too. Max is not amused as we circle fade out to end the episode at 21:08. This was a total mess of an episode; but it was fun in some places. ** (40%).
THE REVIEW LINE
Well; here's out first thumbs down episode of the series thus far and it really didn't take all that long. Personally; the plot wasn't bad at all; but there were a lot of logic break and a lot of blown spots mostly caused by Kennedy's fetish of overanimating a scene for the sake of movement; rather than making the cartoon spots make sense with the internal logic of the show. Shot continuity was off in a lot of places and Braxton and company will barely characters in this one as Slick was a clone Goofy who at least was believable as such and not a Double Darkwings situation, so it was bearable at times. The finish was both funny and bad at the same time as the reunion with Max and Goofy was sweet; but the logic break of the finish really hurt it. I will say one thing about the writing here: Despite a lot of rookie mistakes; I do praise the team here for pacing the episode a lot better than the last four or five episodes as only the climax was overdone and it felt like a breeze for the most part. Overall; the story idea was fine; but the execution was poor and when you merely have a good idea but poor execuation; you typically get a below average episode at best. Which this was. Next up is one of my favorite episodes in the entire series and if you think internet speak is a new thing to annoy us; remember that in 1992; the title of this episode was: O-RV, I-NV-U! Which does have a meaning. What is it? Stay tuned...So....
Thumbs down for this episode and I'll see you all next time.
