Why Goofy, Why?!
All right; we have another Pete VS. Goofy battle as it's about recycling (later used in Legend Of The Earth Troll for Fish Hooks) as Pete finds some lost boots which are supposed to be made of gold. So; for the second time in the series; there is something made of gold and we're supposed to care. Yeah. So; how does this episode fare? Let's rant on shall we...?!
This episode is written by Bruce Reid Schaefer and story edited by the late Bruce Talkington. The animation was provided by Walt Disney Animation Australia PTY, Limited.
We begin this one outside of Goofy's house as there is a lot of junk in the front yard. Dogs are barking and Goofy heads inside the kitchen at the table sitting down eating Cheerios with Waffles on the floor sitting. Goofy hears noises and deduces that they might be mice as Waffles speaks a tiny bit of English here, by the way. Goofy and Waffles walk out as see the garbage and a tin can goes flying; which Goofy deduces as giant mice. So we head to the garage to see that Max and PJ are throwing out stuff. PJ grabs a rock and asks where it can do. Max proclaims that rocks can take care of themselves and throws it backwards; right in perfect position for Goofy to get bonked in the head with a really weak bump. Waffles laughs at the bump; because he's an animal as Goofy grabs the rock and claims the mice are tough. This causes Waffles to screech and bails stage right. So we get more digging from Max and PJ as Goofy comes in welding a baseball bat with a hat on the tip; along with a bucket on his head, not looking amused. PJ greets him as Max asks what Goofy is doing as Goofy is looking for mice. Goofy asks what the kids are doing and Max claims that he is getting stuff out to recycle. Goofy offers Max a rock and Max tosses it in the perfect position to have it bonk off Waffles' head. Not so funny when you are the one getting it; huh. Jump cut to Pete sitting in his chair in the living room of his house reading a newspaper. He's stressed out due to the rattling of metal and gets steamed with the CHEAP HEAT OF LAUGHS. Papers go flying as Peg comes in telling him to chill out because they are having fun, which Pete hates. The door opens and closes offscreen as here comes Pistol being hyper again. Which involves bouncing off Pete's chest again. Pete is not impressed; but is too kind to express anger to her, so he puts her down on the footrest, calling this fun thing a great idea. His idea of fun: Shutting up Goofy and Max and laughing while doing it. So we jump cut to outside Pete's house as Goofy, Max and PJ are digging out of Pete's trashcans in the garage. Pete grabs the bag claiming that they are stealing his garbage as PJ points out that they are recycling. No PJ; I'm certain you cannot ride a bicycle backwards, so you are stealing. Goofy shows a piece of paper about the kids learning about recycling in school. Yeah; because when it comes to recycling, consent doesn't exist, which is suppose to make the difference between stealing and not stealing. No wonder public schools suck.
Goofy gives Pete the paper as Pete mumbles that he wants some money involved in this. Of course! Pete reads paper and suddenly goes all dollar signs in eyes; because people still think those bad Ducktales episodes were awesome. Those rose-tinted glassed are poisoning the rational side of the brain there, methinks. Pete still calls this all his garbage as Goofy is happy to hear that spirit out of him; as Goofy and Max leave to see if anyone else in the neighbour is willing to give up their trash for recycling. PJ is about to join them; but Pete cuts him off because Pete wants to make a game out of this to get the most money...ERRR...trash over the Goofs. PJ stammers as he is embraced by Pete right in front of the Goofs who look stunned. Pete and PJ walk back into the house as Goofy proclaims that it's him and Max now. Max claims that he is betting they can get more stuff than they do. Normally; I would agree with him, but this is Pete we are talking about, so there's going to be a lot of CHEAT TO WIN~ stuff going around here. Scene change to the street as Goofy is driving in the jeep with Max looking around town for stray stuff to recycle. Goofy stops and Max picks up a stray soda can off the street. Goofy calls this treasure hunting as Max proclaims that the last block had six cans. Geez; this town is CLEAN compared to most. Max is showing off a sack of cans as Goofy confuses some words with blockage as Pete rides in on a black pickup with seven giant sacks of cans in the back. He calls Goofy's confusion a blockage of the brain while doing Goofy's chuckle badly. Pete asks Goofy if he wants to make a killing on selling scrap iron and Goofy likes that. So Pete tells him to recycle that jeep of his, calling it a jalopy of course. Pete laughs and speed off leaving Goofy and Max to cough their own dust. PJ decides to play up the heel by taunting Max on the way out of course while Max taunts him back. Goofy wants to bring home the garbage and drives off in the opposite direction. Scene change to a sidewalk as the back of Goofy's jeep is filled with sacks of garbage. Goofy claims that no one out trashes them as Max and Goofy get into the jeep. Goofy and Max put on their seatbelts as Max claims they are garbage gonzos. Gonzo is going to be pissed off when he hears this. Then in comes Pete's orange SUV (not kidding; look at the size of that monster truck!) driving in causing the jeep to do the whirlwind spot. As it calms down; Pete comes back and notpologizes to him. Sigh.
Pete drives off laughing as Goofy calls Pete a someday driver; which sounds a lot funnier than it should be. Goofy proclaims that he who laughs last, laughs a lot. HEE HEE! Max comes over claiming that Goofy has never said that, which Goofy claims that he just did, telling Max to pay attention. Max is stunned as Goofy walks off and then we scene change to Goofy's house as there are sacks of garbage in a pile in the front yard as Goofy's jeep seems to have at least three flat tires. Goofy thinks they outsold Pete on this one; but in comes Pete and PJ with a green mach truck backing up with tons of garbage in the back of the truck. Pete dumps the sacks onto the front lawn as Pete claims that going through trash cans was a great idea and implies that he stole Goofy's trash to boot since Goofy's reaction was priceless. Out comes Pistol and Peg as Pistol is still hyper. Peg points out that they are Pete's toys and threatens to make Pete sleep in Chainsaw's doghouse tonight if he doesn't pick them up. Goofy orders Max to open their garage door; because they have some modifications to make. Goofy's pronouncing modifications sounds cute by the way. Scene change as Waffles takes a peak inside the open garage, and he screeches. Waffles bails out as Goofy comes out with Max driving a jeep containing four trash cans and a dumpster tied to the jeep. Goofy salutes himself as we begin Operation Goofy Garbage is underway. I thought it was underway since 1987 when Eisner broke his promise to Disney Feature to never use classic Walt Disney characters? So we race off into town as we meet and honk at the intersection with PJ and Pete. Goofy dares Pete and Pete gets off a King of the Hill reference. It's funny that Disney Captions capitalized King and Hill here; because "King Of The Hill" didn't exist until 1997! Pete tells Goofy to give it up and we are going to do street racing, which is illegal by the way. We head to the rich part of town as the vehicles see golden trash cans and we get out. Max and PJ push and shove each other as Pete and Goofy try to steal the golden trash cans of doom. Tug of war ensues as we pan up to a window where somename named Cheevers (according to Disney Captions) is looking out the window talking to someone named Mr. Fonsworth.
Mr. Fonsworth is a dogear with a lot of grey hair and wearing a brown suit hanging on the book shelves whining like a Frank Welker character in Goof Troop. Oh wait...Fonsworth is throwing away books as Cheevers comes over asking why he needs help. Fonsworth claims that his 24-karat gold baby booties are missing, calling Cheevers "You servent, you!" Cheevers stammers while blocking books from his head, struggling. Cheevers claims that he was told to throw them out and clean up the pigsty; as Fonsworth climbs down and yells at Cheevers for throwing them into the trash can and threatens to give him such a pinch if he doesn't find them. I don't get how pinching is such a threat. Why not just threaten to fire him?! Cheevers runs out the door just as the babyfaces' trucks speed away stage left, protesting and yelling. No dice and a lot of future pinching is assured there. Cheevers is running to the sidewalk and out comes Fonsworth doing scissor motions as Cheevers hates this. If it's because this show is tedious to review, I agree with him. Scene change back to the residences of Goofy and Pete as their backyards are so filled with trash, that the tops of them are sagging and threatening to cross over to each other's properties. Cut to the backyard as Pete is at the wooden fence with a hose like vacuum cleaner because it's time to CHEAT TO WIN~! Now this episode really sucks. HAHA!
Ron Sparks: It sucks more than Sean Desmond.
So Goofy spots the hose going through his garbage and calls Pete a wise guy. Nope Goofy; he's not wise, he's vile. Goofy goes over to the wooden fence and ties up the hose in the vacuum cleaner; blowing him off for stealing his trash. Hose blows up in more ways than one as Pete turns around; and we get the explosion and Pete gets buried in trash with his head buried in the ground. Pete bounces off and proclaims that it's no more Mr. Nice Guy. Wait; so everything he's done up to this point was "nice"? Pete's defintion of nice is way different than even my definition of it. Pete rolls up his sleeve and we scene change to Pete at the wooden fence as he climbs over it. Why bother with the scene changer if you are just going over the fence? Just have him walk to the fence and go over it. Easy. Pete chuckles as we get the Fred Flintstone twinkletoes spot which assures that Pete cannot do the "practice the fine art of not being seen"; in which Goofy sees it even without the twinkletoeing spot. You know you are a stupid idiot when GOOFY can clearly see you practice the fine art of not being seen. Goofy praises Pete for being stuck on tunnel vision and casually walks onto Pete's backyard and grabs a lead pipe. He yells batter up and gets into the batting stance as PJ and Max come out into the backyard looking stunned. Goofy whacks an incoming bottle and Max does commentary as it bonks off of Pete. It's clearly plastic since the thing didn't shatter. Pete protests this as does PJ who thinks it's a lucky hit. Max don't care and cheers. Goofy dares Pete to pitch one, low and inside as Pete goes to the sack and brings out a bunch of trash, proclaiming that he's going to take him out of the games, calling him Babe Goof. Geez; that is projection city there. Pete is pitching trash and Goofy keeps hitting them. Now if you recall; in "Take Me Out Of The Ball Game", Goofy and Pete were banned from doing anything baseball related. Yeah; this was dumb. Although; Goofy can hit the ball better than Max can, so there's that. Max cheers on as PJ wants Pete to strike the bum...ERRR...he means, Mr. G, out. Don't know why he bothered; he's not being babyface for this episode anyway. One jug hits the top of the garbage pile, splitting it open. Uh-oh! Pete looks up like an idiot and the trash falls down and buries him. Somehow; a tire jumps the fence during Goofy's celebration and bumps into Pete's pile of trash and Goofy gets buried just the same. Of course!
So Peg runs in and becomes the world most angriest whistleblower ever. PJ calls it a game called on account of mother as Peg goes over to Pete and grabs him. She yells at him to take out the trash right now! Pete claims that he'll get it out first thing in the morning. Peg walks back and tells Pete to put it away at six am sharp! There were lots of flies around and no once cares about them. So we head inside the living room of Pete's AFTER HAPPY HOUR (after dark) as Pete is sorting and counting bottles. There are cartons of bottles everywhere; but there is still a clean direct path for Pistol to run in and be hyper. Pistol climbs on Pete's back and Pete has lost count, so he blows off Pistol while shattering one bottle off-screen. HAHA! So Pete is forced to restart his count; and the doorbell rings stopping that count. Pete tells Pistol to cover her ears (calling her a bottle brush) because Daddy's gonna yell. Pistol's blue eyes and reaction is priceless; showing that she can be a sadist with the best of them. We see Cheevers at the door (I think he's gonna enjoy being pinched after this episode is over, but that's just me making a prediction which may or may not happen.); as Pete opens the door and screams in his face, because that is what this episode needs: More windbags! Cheevers flies off and lands on his back with no bump as Pete slams the door. Oh; and the eye blinking sound rears it's ugly head in this episode, too. Pete storms over to the bottles claiming that it will hold the spud. So Cheevers just opens the door, just like that. Ooops; forgot to lock the door there Pete Pete, you stupid idiot! Cheevers gets on his knees and begs for mercy. Mercy? From Pete Pete? Surely you jest, Cheevers! He talks about the golden baby booties and wants them back. Pete blows him off; grabs Cheevers and throws him out of the house. Pete then proclaims that this felt good as Pete tries to slam the door; but Cheever's head is inserted into the jam. OUCH! Cheevers claims that there is a big reward for the baby booties and Pete opens the door; and proceeds to kiss Cheever's ass. Figurally in this case. Scene change to outside Pete's backyard as Pete is digging through mounds of piles of sacks of trash looking for the booties proclaiming that metaphor of one man's trash being another man's treasure. Pete digs; but cannot find anything of note and then proclaims that his treasure is in another man's trash as he looks at Goofy's trash pile and that ends the segment ten and a half minutes in.
After the commercial break; it is now sunrise with cock crowing in the background. We head to Pete's backyard as there is a huge trash pile in the background just as PJ walks out. PJ rummages through the pile as Pete comes out telling PJ that he needs to talk to Goofy and Max. PJ points out that Pete wasn't going to be talking with them. Pete proclaims that he'll do the not talking around here and orders him to go find Max. PJ goes over to the wooden fence on a box and calls out for Max. Max is on the other side putting cans in a sack as he's not thrilled to be talking to PJ. PJ informs Max that Pete wants to talk to Goofy. Max calls to Goofy and Goofy comes out and tells Max that he isn't speaking to Pete; so he tells Max to ask PJ want he wants. Wait; since when did they agree to never speak with each other? Max asks what does Pete want as Pete comes in and wants to apologize for being so greedy and mean. PJ basically claims that Pete is sorry. Max claims that Pete is sorry for being himself. HAHA! Good one, Max; good one. Goofy decides to think about it as Pete comes in and gives PJ a sack of trash worth a lot more than PJ's body weight, since PJ's knees are knocking. Pete calls it a token of his extreme; which is extreme heavy amounts of crap of course. PJ gives Max the sack of trash and Max walks over to Goofy as Goofy goes over when Max puts it on the ground. Max is not impressed as Goofy goes over and gives Max a box of crap; and Max goes over to PJ and gives it to him, not amused by this either. PJ goes over to Pete with the box of crap and Pete grabs it, acting like the worst humbled father in history, which is par for the course with Pete. Pete bails and starts digging through stuff; and cuts a "taking candy from a baby" promo; which no one should be cutting after Don Karnage did in 1990. Pete of course finds nothing, AND THE ROCK SAYS NOTHING! Pete is not happy; so he wheels in more bags of crap in a wheel barrow to PJ.'PJ is not happy; but throws the sacks over to Max over the fence. Goofy is impressed by this because he's a stupid idiot and gives Max more sacks of crap. Max isn't impressed; but he throws them over to PJ. Pete grabs them and bails to checks them. So we repeat this spot over and over again; and now I long for watching Legend Of The Earth Troll now, because they are just trying to kill time now. Thankfully; Pete is frustrated and Peg comes out looking fabulous and ready to scream at Pete at a moment's notice.
Peg decides to go back in for coffee and blows off Pete; slamming the door and that was that. Scene change to Goofy's jeep hauling away trash, as the motorboat is also attached to the carts of trash, for no reason. PJ and Max are in the front seat with Goofy driving the mach truck shooting the breeze as we see Pete digging through the trash some more getting even more frustrated as this episode goes along. So the truck bounces off a tree branch and Pete does a flip into the trash. Showoff! Scene change to a dock town as the truck has stopped and Pete is at a payphone informing Cheevers that he hasn't found the booties yet, but he's narrowing it down. Jump cut to Cheevers on his cell phone hanging onto a chandelier as Fonsworth is filing his non-existent fingernails just to be an asshole. Cheevers pleads for him to find them as we scene change to a charming sequence of Goofy manning a crane while Pete is on a wooden tugboat. So; the recycling center is on an island? That's really stupid. Anyhow; you can pretty much guess how stupid Goofy is in handling a crane. Imagine Fanboy being able to handle one and you get the picture. Even Max and PJ could handle one better than Goofy; I assure thee. Pete is buried in crap, Pete grumbles and calls Goofy a Goofinheimer; and then Pete proceeds to do the Wiley E. Coyote spot of defending himself with the world's tinest umbrella from...a car engine. Yeah; whatever, when you are ready to get past your childish, petty mocking of Warner Brothers, I'll let you back in charge. So we scene change to a sky shot of the wooden boat filled with trash as the wooden log barrge is going to be towed by Pete's motorboat. Oh; so that's why it was there the previous scene. Okay; good thinking then. So we jump cut to Goofy and Pete on the boat as Pete is wearing a blue beret which appears to be stolen from An American Tail; as Pete offers Goofy to drive the motorboat. That is like offering Fanboy to drive a complex piece of machinery from point a to point b without crashing. It will never end well for everyone involved, except maybe Goofy. Goofy is given the stupid hat and plopped down behind the wheel because Pete is going to guard the garbage. I should note that we have a day to AFTER HAPPY HOUR shot again from Sunwoo. Which turns into storm clouds in the sky literally on the next shot with PJ and Max not liking this. Pete blows them off as land lubbers; because a little rough weather never hurt nobody.
Ummm; I have no confidence in someone who uses double negatives during a storm. I'm just saying, Pete. Max's response is that the people on the Titantic would be happy to hear that. Ummm; bad weather didn't cause the Titantic to go under; it was an iceberg. Try again; you callous goofball! PJ and Max go over to Goofy as Max tells Goofy to take it easy. Well; that's easy for you to say, Max Goof. Goofy is the definition of mental hygenie gone wrong. Goofy of course drives the motorboat like he's in a race and Pete is forced to hang on; as he threatens to make Goofy walk the plank. So the motorboat rides through the river as Goofy comments on the night sky; but it's really a storm as it starts to rain. Goofy then takes two pots and puts them on the kids' heads. Pete climbs down to ground level and rain hits him in the face as we ride slowly through the lake as rain falls down with lightning bolts ensuing. Jump cut to Goofy and the kids bouncing around because there is wind howling for no reason since it appears completely calm otherwise in the far shot. Stop showing off, Goofy! You are worse than Kit Cloudkicker; and he's much more qualified in scaring adults than you'll ever be. POW! OUCH! Ummmm... Pete is screaming to head for shore as Goofy asks what the hell he said and the kids say to give it more. Remind me to never trust any child character to give me directions, unless it's Kit Cloudkicker, who despite being slightly older than Max; has a license as the best navigator in all of DTVA. Goofy gives it more throttle as he praises Pete for being nautical. He's as nautical as the Spongebob SquarePants theme song. Pete is not happy about this at all and screaming no. Goofy asks what did he say as the kids tells him to go. These two are making a mockery out of navigation. Kind of puts Bullethead Baloo in it's proper prespective, doesn't it? (Looks at Kit as Kit is looking down at his feet in shame.) So we give more throttle as we sway and turn out into sea as Pete screams to end the segment fifteen and a half minutes in. This episode is all right; but I'm not feeling it like I did with Legend Of The Earth Troll. All this episode has done is prove that millenials were right about old farts; their rose tinted glasses are poisoning their brains.
After the commercial break; we return with Goofy struggling to steer the motorboat in a storm complete with bumping and screaming. Jump cut of doom as Goofy and Pete get swamped with seawater. Pete is flying and hanging onto a rope as he gets off the best Goofy chuckle ever in his career. Goofy goes to help Pete while Max and PJ have to man the wheel. Even Kit would have an easier time doing this as the two kids get spun around like crazy. Goofy slips and slides on water and then gets swamped by the wave. There are a lot of shots of characters with their legs in the air for no reason in this episode. Goofy gets on the rope and we do the tightrope spot as Goofy yells for Pete. Goofy loses his balance and is forced to hang up as the water tickles him of course. Jump cut to Pete looking seasick and moaning, lurched against the wooden barge. Goofy runs in and pat Pete's cheek as Pete looks ready to vomit. Artifical recreation? Geez; that was terrible and Goofy's seasick now. Lovely! Pete grabs him as Goofy is stunned because there a gaint flood wave swamps everything including the motorboat. Somnehow; the wooden barge is still intact with the garbage; but Max and PJ are bopping up from the water. Goofy and Pete grab the kids and hug them. Pete's lasted about three seconds before PJ is dropped as the motorboat sinks into the water. Pete notices a box of trash floating on the water; and uses a rope to try to get it because of some booties or something as he hangs by a rope. Goofy comes in to restrain him; but Pete is tunnel vision trash. See what I did there? Pete grabs the trash as PJ claims that he sounds like Peg on trash can. I beg your pardon, PJ?! Goofy calls this a great idea as he grabs some rope and wants to wrap the trash to the barge. Isn't that already done?! Never mind; we scene change to in the middle of the ocean as the storm has ending and Pete is digging through the trash on a dumpster around the wooden barrage and swims into it like a dirty old man as Goofy feels bad for the motorboat. Pete pops up and his green eyes tell you that he needs to seek professional help, now because he doesn't care about the motorboat anymore. Pete then shakes his head and realizes, he's an idiot. Goofy talks about swelling as he wonders how to get the barge moving and Max suggests creating a sail; which Goofy approves of cart-blanche. Scene change to the babyfaces rising the sails already. Max and PJ cheer and bump into another box of trash. The box of trash falls onto the water and sails towards Pete who is still checking for trash to find those golden booties. He turns around to see the wooden box swimming away and goes to the edge; but cannot grab it. Goofy comes in with the LASSO OF BANE TO ALL ACTION CARTOONS EVERYWHERE; but he wiffs at it. Then we get the most random moment ever: As Goofy is reeling the lasso in; it attaches to the headlight of a submarine and Goofy gets towed away stage left. PJ and Max panic at this on cue. Geez; I wonder why?! Maybe because it came out of nowhere for no reason; and it is just there to kill time.
Max goes for his lasso and he lassoes Goofy's ankles; forcing Goofy to become racked so much; Goofy is literally yelling for them not to help. Not funny. So we get the towing job of doom for a long while. DIVE! DIVE! AROOGA! AROOOOGGGGAAAAAAA! POW! OUCH! Ummmm... Yeah; that sucked. Still better than this episode has been so far. One of the wooden stakes is broken from the barge and that simply causes the entire barge to float up to the surface. WHAT?! That makes no sense at all. Then again; then not drowning makes no sense either; so fuzzy cartoon logic strikes again, I guess. More towing and Goofy yelling the redneck yell makes Gregory Weagle something something. Max tells him to let go of the rope; which is a reasonable thing to do. Goofy realizes that he should have just done that all along and he does and sinks into the water. Stupid idiot! Pete don't care; and I don't either. Max and PJ help him up; claiming that he's heavy despite those two outweighing Goofy. Wimps! Goofy squeezes his bowtie and thanks the kids. PJ wonders what is going to happen next. Max is not impressed as the barge is taking on water now. Oh boy; I'm glad Hacksaw isn't here, he would be in his own wet nightmare right about now. The floor of the barge turns into hole city with water pillars the longer the babyfaces try to plug them up. Goofy's got water coming out of his ears while Max has water sprayed in his face. It's hopeless now as it's time to abandon barge as Pete looks horrifed that this is happening. Pete panics and wants to save the trash; which for environmental reasons; is noble. However; this is Pete we are talking about here and he has no altrusim in his body anywhere. Pete throws PJ on his ass on the barge; causing Goofy to put a chokehold on Pete! Wow; this is the most vicious I have seen out of Goofy in this show. Goofy faces Pete and tells him to come to his sense because he's historical. If only, Goofy; if only. Pete gets the CHEAP HEAT OF LAUGHS for good measure and with that rumbling, Pete's phasers are set to kill. Pete grabs Goofy and wants to slug him to death as Pete rips Goofy's shirt and hanging around his neck is a chain containing 24-karat golden booties. Goofy proclaims that he found them in Ponsworth's trash can and kept them to himself. Even though Goofy was never seen touching the can! That is the dumbest place to hide a bunch of booties; which you know only Goofy would do something like this. So the kids continue to plug the barge with bottles. Goofy simply gives Pete the booties and thanks him. Pete is so giddy about this that he simply kisses Goofy on the cheek and Goofy is all chuckled. Ha-yuck!
So we head to the recycling plant on the island as we see the barge coming in with Goofy riding in the back like a bicycle with a waterwheel attached to it. So we pedal as Pete looks at the golden booties and is giddy about buying two motorboats, a Rolls Royce and a brand new car. PJ and Max hear him and call him out on it. Why?! Goofy gave Pete the boots cart-blanche with no strings attached. If Pete wants to sell them for money; he can. Besides; he's going to give them back to Fonsworth for a big reward; so Pete's the selfless one in this outfit, Max Goof! Since those were Fonsworth's to begin with because his stupid idiot butler Cheevers threw them into the trash because Cheevers is a stupid idiot who needs to be pinched until the end of time. Pete stammers like an idiot as PJ looks like he lost a lot of sleep. Goofy proclaims that Pete is lost for words; so he don't care about who's booties they are either; making Max look like a jerk. Goofy calls this all warm and happy inside. So we return home with Goofy's jeep parked in the driveway. Out comes Pete, Goofy, PJ and Max cheering about being rich as Peg and Pistol come out; only Pistol's happy. Peg is not as she has a scroll of paper in her hand. Yip; the reset button is about to be pushed and it's completely pointless to do so here, even more so than Your Baloo's In The Mail. Pete proclaims that he's on the top of the heap as Peg is slightly amused by this and then she gives Pete the bills for traffic tickets, truck rentals and such. Well; at least he did get his comeupperance for being such a cocky jerk as Goofy reminds him of the boat. Pete's reaction is simply priceless as he stammers and then sobs like a baby. HAHA! Goofy consoles him telling him that there is more trash to go around as a soda can shows up out of nowhere. We stop for a moment and then Pete gets inspired and goes after the soda can. Now; at this point, they should have ended it there, but nope. Goofy goes after him as Max shrugs his shoulders and then acts like the game is still on and PJ goes after him. Sigh. Circle fade out to end the episode at 21:19. Oh well; at least this one was better as an ending than Take Me Out Of The Ball Game. You know; it was a fun episode; but it wasn't as entertaining to me as Fish Hook's Legend Of The Earth Troll; which had Ozzy as the Earth Troll at least, the funniest newspaper headline in history and Corey Baxter as a magical dude Milo worships. ** 1/2 (50%).
THE REVIEW LINE
Well; I don't have much to say about this episode other than this: This episode is a prime example of why millenials are correct about the past cartoons in that we put a bias blinder on our vision and audio; thinking that new episodes always suck and then ignore the terrible crap of the past. I watched Legend Of The Earth Troll on Fish Hooks several years back when people were dismissing that show out of hand and I was throughly entertained. Sure; I didn't think it was flawless (Ozzy's appearance sucked the life out of the ending); but I laughed until I cried seeing Milo recycling like a monster and using magical dudes (but hating magical dudette like a sexist idiot) as a way to get him motivated. I loved the reference to Corey Baxter in that one because Milo was voiced by Kyle Massey; the same guy who played the role of Corey Baxter in Corey In The House. I got the references, and Noah gave me a lot of cannon fodder to work with. WHY NOAH, WHY?! Okay; I'm done. Then I watch this episode with a similar plot device of recycling and I thought it was all right, but it didn't feel all that great. Goofy was great; but that's Goofy. He's predictable in the sense that he's so over, I almost always have a fun time. The other problem is and this has been a problem with Goof Troop: This works better as an eleven minute episode (as did Fish Hooks in this case); but they had to stretch it out to 22 minutes; so they had to do a random comedy spot out of nowhere for no reason near the finish. This episode needed to make haste and it wasted my time with average spots that I didn't care about. Overall; this episode was fine, but if I want a good episode about recycling, Legend Of The Earth Troll from Fish Hooks; a show that many people on the internet hate; was the better episode. Sometimes; the millenials are 100% correct about us. So...
Thumbs in the middle for this episode and I'll see you all next time.
