Window Pains
Reviewed: 05/06/2017
More Like Pains Due To Competition Ass Kicking!
Okay; we finally head down the final road to the end of Goof Troop (until I get more episodes on DVD or something) as Peg's new window washing job causes a battle between her and Pete over who makes the most money. Uh-oh! Doesn't that usually mean a boys VS. girls episode?! I sure hope not. So; how does this episode fare? Let's rant on shall we...?!
This episode is written by Cathryn Perdue and story edited by Carter Crocker. The animation was provided by Sunwoo Animation.
Opening Moment #1: Okay; this one uses the second opening instead of the first. At least this opening's sound effects are not from the first opening.
We begin this one with a purple title card and at the front door of Pete's house with a dog barking. We pan left to see a mess on the front lawn with boxes, a wooden ladder and Pete sitting in a lawn chair in front of his RV reading a blue covered book, as he is setting up a new satellite dish to get football in every time zone. Huh; I thought Pete would be the kind of guy who hated soccer?! Who knew. Pete gets up and goes over to the ladder and yells at Goofy, who is installing the pipes for the satellite dish, which is about 200 feet in the air, both the dish, ladder and Goofy himself. Goofy is slow, in so many ways as Goofy is reading a piece of paper with a wrench as this satellite dish is the defintion of Rube Goldberg right there. Goofy wrenches the nut and gets his finger stuck in it, duh. Goofy tries to get unstuck and his 7/16 double tooth wrench slips and sticks into the ground. Pete blows him off and tells him to get it himself, as Goofy points out the obvious to us. Pete grabs the wrench and accuses Goofy of goldbricking. Sorry Pete; but Goofy doesn't know the meaning of that word. Kit does for sure, but not a stupid idiot like Goofy. Pete's cheap assholely is in full force as he whines and complains about walking up a ladder and paying Goofy a dollar fifty to do this. Then Pete looks down and then hangs onto the ladder in disarray, because the gimmick of Pete today is that Pete is afraid of heights. Goofy uses the foot to get the finger out; but then is forced to do the splits because his left foot is stuck on the bolt while the ladder is swaying towards the left. Pete grabs Goofy and the ladder tips over and falls; Goofy grabs a near free falling Pete and then the ladder slingshots them into the air after coming a foot off the middle of a busy intersection that somehow is empty by the time Pete is near the ground. Huh, BS&P RULEZ~! Ladder is broken as they fly into the air and where they land, do we really care? I should note that the flying animation was poorly done by Sunwoo before they free fall and crash off-screen into the conveniently placed cardboard box of doom. Somehow; the box is totally undamaged and no one got killed. BS&P RULEZ BABEE~!
Pete pops from the carnage as we hear birds tweeting; but don't see them. Yes; Sunwoo not do the birds chirping around Pete's head animation at all. Peg and Pistol (with red sucker) walk in as Peg asks what he is doing. Pete claims that he went 50,000 feet; which is a lie as Pistol licks her lollipop, claims that Pete is sick and sticks the lollipop in Pete's mouth. Okay; that was gross, and it's strawberry sludge, how nasty is that?! Pete spits out the sucker in disgust as the box tips showing Goofy and Pete were being protected with paper packing, like Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie when they fell into a dumpster for no reason during a RAW show. Pete grabs Goofy and accuses him of trying to kill him. And yes; he uses the word killed here. Then Pete stops and sees a cherry pink 1962 Thunderhead LeGrande Del Bravo. Lucky for the car to be named Del Bravo. If it was named Dino Bravo; it would be the worst car on the planet. Peg calls it a cute car and Pete blows it off because only teddy bears are cute. Oh; those are fighting words to us teddy bear lovers, Pete! Pete admits that he couldn't afford it in a million years, as Pistol and Peg have a whisper conference about buying a car like that for him as Goofy admires the car as well. I see Goofy's math is much more hilariously off than Scott Steiner's. Even Pete realizes it and sighs as Goofy is as confused as I am. Join the club, and witness the math of Jericho. Add it up, maaaaaannnnn! Head to Pete's house AFTER HAPPY HOUR (after dark) as we head inside Pete's living room with Pete reading that the Better Business Association of Spoonerville is holding the eight annual Busy Bee contest where the winner will get a trophy and a certificate of appreciation. Why bother with the later for just the winner? Just give that to everyone. PJ and Pistol watch on as Pete claims that they forgot the win is best for his business. We see the BALLOON OF CHILD CORRUPTING DOOM as we see the Del Bravo car from earlier along with who appears to be the Brittney clone from Alvin & The Chipmunks, aged to be an adult wearing a mermaid green dress, glasses and purple high heels.
I think the woman is supposed to be a clone of Vanna White from Wheel of Fortune as somehow PJ and Pistol get into his dream balloon; so LB doesn't have a monopoly on that spot; except we got to see LB jump into Tweet...ERRR...I mean, Tweeg's dream. PJ claims that Pete has been trying to win the event for the past eight years and has failed. Or; that would be what he said, if Pete wasn't demanding answers to this outrage. PJ and Pistol stammer like complete fools as Pistol claims that he's late. Yeah; sure. Trying to win the event for the past late years. No court in the cartoon world is going to buy that one, Pistol. So Pistol pushes PJ out of the room and Pete relaxes in the seat. Scene change to Pistol at the island table with a newspaper that shouldn't be on a part of the stove, and in comes Peg with a bowl of Cherrios. Peg picks up the newspaper and reads it, while Chainsaw annoys Pistol as she eats her cereal. She's looking in the Want Ads for a second job. The point of this is: Peg wants to buy Pete the car of his dreams; but her job as a real estate agent doesn't pay enough. Although; why would Pete deserve the car after years of scheming is a mystery to me. She hates shark grooming and toxic waste management; which I can understand the later one, since she already has enough problems with that, wink, wink, nudge, nudge! Chainsaw is eating and the cereal is called Sugar Shock-O Cereal; which is like a hot red chili pepper to cartoon dogs like Chainsaw as train whistle sounds ensue. Peg tells Pistol to stop feeding him; which is funny considering Chainsaw is the one eating on her own here. Pistol claims that there is one essential vitamin in the cereal. Vitamin S, perchance? Half a nutrient and so good for her, too. The scariest part is; I believe her BS a lot more than Mike Adams' BS. Peg tells her to sod off because Chainsaw had to be pulled from the ceiling with a spatula. Are you confusing Waffles with Chainsaw there, Peg? Pistol asks the question of why she needs three jobs (real estate agent and full time mother in case you wonder what Pistol is talking about) as Chainsaw slam dunks her head into the cereal, eats up and wobbles. Uh-oh! This is trouble!
Peg whisper yells to Pistol to keep a secret; but she wants to buy the car Pete wants. What did Pete do to deserve one? I cannot figure out why Peg would so easily want to buy this car for Pete since there is no episode where Pete had earned any sort of crew cut. Anyhow; nothing looks too promising, so Pistol suggests buying a pony and using it to sell pony rides, or dressing up Pete as a high diving pig, or selling PJ. Listen Pistol; it's 1992, not 1937! Just so you would like to know. Chainsaw chases his tail and does the whirlwind spot, tornados himself and splats into the window. So; there's your payoff to Chainsaw eating sugar cereal, let's move on. Pistol is laughing her ass off loving it. What a sadist Pistol is?! Peg is not amused as Chainsaw runs on slippery windows; causing Peg to panic as she uses the window blind to tie up Chainsaw to end that. Peg is not liking this; but then sees a job lead, which is window washing. Chainsaw groans on cue as we head to a baker's shop with Peg, Pistol and PJ dressed in pink and red overalls and shirts with red and pink caps. Peg calls themselves the grime busters as the goofy clone baker with tan pants, shoes, green apron and cyan blue shirt rubs the dirty window with his finger, proclaiming that he hasn't been able to see Main Street since he could touch his toes. The baker goes back into the shop as Peg wants some elbow grease on this grease as Goofy stops by in his Jeep asking if he can play along with this gig, too. The buckets are out as Peg tells him to join the clean team; which I would believe is a bad idea, Peg. There is a lot of squeezing and spraying and cleaning. Somehow; Goofy's window washing skills are actually cleaning the window and sees himself as a dangerous lurking character. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Pete would be proud of this moment, somehow. Peg thankfully corrects him on that and then has to inform him that he isn't wearing glasses either while looking annoyed. So we scene change as the bakery windows are clean and sparkling (a motif of Sunwoo Animation by the way) as the babyfaces are doing math on the expenses and profits. Why is Goofy wearing overalls now?
I mean; he was cleaning with his regular clothes anyway. If this venture isn't making money, maybe you shouldn't have given Goofy those overalls to begin with. They made $2.78 on this by the way. Without Goofy's clothing; it would have been around $100; which wouldn't have been much either. But it would have made Peg look less of an idiot is what I'm trying to say here. So we head back to Pete's house and head in the kitchen as Pete is in his PJ's and bunny slippers while Peg is in her window washing suit walking in. Pete asks Peg why she's up so early. Peg does her kiss-kiss goodbye promo as Pete points out that it's Saturday. Maybe she's going window shopping. Have you ever thought about that, Pete? Of course not! She's called a love puddle by the way as she packs her window wiper into a purple bag. Apparently; Saturday is Pete's day off and it's her bringing snacks while watching sixteen hours of football. So Pete loves college football? I mention this because the NFL plays on Sunday. Another thing; this means Pete works on Sundays, which is considered a holy day off for Christians. Of course; most people today wouldn't see this as a heel move anymore, but to Christians, it's usually a heel move. Peg apologizes, but she has work to do as Pete is confused; and Pistol almost blows their cover right away when she and PJ come out. I say almost because she admits that they are washing windows; but doesn't reveal the motive. Pete taunts Peg as she is fishing out cloths and other such stuff; laughing at the sigh of buying two goldfish or half of a bottom-feeder. I see someone speaks from experience here. Peg brings out a box of eggs and slams it into Pete's belly; blowing him off for his "support" and orders him to microwave his own breakfast. Pete of course; has no idea how to work a microwave, because he's an asshole who doesn't want to learn anything, except to swindle people out of their hard-earned money. Peg blows him off claiming that it's easy as changing the channel. Pete puts the thing in the microwave and the thing explodes off-screen as Pistol shrugs her shoulders. Yeah, go figure. Scene change to the living room with Chainsaw and Pete, looking bored.
Pete plops into his chair and then gets up and decides to practice his award speech. Of course! You don't even bother practicing how you are going to win the contest first. Jerks like Pete are always so ass backwards, it isn't funny. Death reference #2 (Never say die; which is less funny in Goof Troop than it was in Bearly Alive in TaleSpin) ensues as his speech is so babyface that it is a disgrace to babyfaces and heels the world over as Peg's car stops in the driveway while Pete was looking out the window. Pete than puts on a purple robe and ice pack on his head as he's scheming again eight and a half minutes into this thing! He's going to guilt them, see. Why? I don't know! Why not?! Pete's latest fake sickness du jour: Lonely-itis. This is not a fake disease that is only legit in the self-contained world, this is a fake illiness that is fake even in the self-contained world in order for Pete to gain sympathy. I honestly don't know which is worse; but Pete is supposed to be the heel. Goofy opens the door and Pete slams into it with the weakest shot ever. Everyone else runs in as Pete has a headache; while the babyfaces turn on the television because Peg has a new commercial for window washing as there is a lot of dirty windows, a lawn chair, a pulley system with a platform and a bunch of pigeons annoying Peg. Yes folks; the kids and Goofy are singing in the background badly, why do you ask? Peg thanks everyone and shows that she's the star. So yes folks; they finally gave Peg a focus episode after nearly fifty episodes of ignoring her like the Super Busy Mom from Johnny Test. Fade to black as everyone laughs except for Pete, who is in awe and now he's mad as Peg turns off the television. Pete accuses Peg of doing a little business on the side. So? What's your point, Pete Pete? This wouldn't be happening if you were pulling even a fourth of your actual weight in this marriage. Pete accuses Peg of trying to kill him via an exploding breakfast, and running a television ad. Peg gleefully refutes that one for me as Pete accuses HER of trying to steal the Busy Bee award from him! Look; as long as this doesn't turn into another battle of the genders match, I'm fine with this.
Peg is angry about this. How dare he think that is the real reason?! The irony of this is; Peg would still get cheered even if Pete is right anyway, since Pete is the number one heel of the show and isn't a cool one at that! Telephone is hear ringing as the kids try to grab the phone, but Pete cuts them off and yells into the phone that they are not buying any and then hangs up! Asshole! Phone rings again and Pete answers, threatening some more; before we hear that it's the mayor on the phone. This causes Pete to catch himself and figrually kiss his ass in front of Peg. Pistol has got the Gruffi pose on full blast while Pete is trying to weasel his way out of those safety violations (so yes; he still hasn't paid up since Inspector Goofy, natch.) claiming that the cheque is in the mail (I don't buy that for one second); and the mayor informs him that he wants Peg as Peg heads to Pete and Pete yells at the mayor that he has the wrong number and hangs up again. Peg asks who it was and Pete claims that it was the mayor wanting to talk to Peg about washing the windows at city hall. Peg is so loving this as she needs more stuff and she asks Pete to find her some nice scaffolding while he's acting like a jackass. Pete storms out of the house and slams the door shut blowing her off for that because he wears the pants in this family. Riiigggghhhttttt. Peg opens the door and asks him to stop by the cleaners and pick up her pants before blowing kisses off-screen and leaving. Pete is not amused by this and we head to some machine lot in Spoonerville; but it's not Pete's car lot as a green coat dogear wearing brown pants and shoes is in front of a semi-automatic front-loading back hoe. Damn; that is one dangerous weapon there, dood! The man has fake brown hair similar to Oscar Vandersnoots as Pete is pushed into the scoop of the back hoe as Pete blows him off for that. For once in Pete's life; he would have justification to files charges of assault on this man, but I betcha he doesn't take that route. I mean; who is going to believe a scumbag used carsalesman like Pete. Pete would be arrested for entrapment at this rate. Salesman is in the back hoe manning the controls and drops Pete onto the ground. HA! The man suggests the automatic gutter cleaner as Pete on his belly claims that he only wants scaffolding for Peg. The man asks if it's the cutie of a wife that he saw in the commercial on television last night while fixing his suit. Pete admits that it's Peg and the salesman claims that she's a front runner for the Busy Bee award.
The salesman taunts Pete on that of course as he shows off the most unstable monster clown truck I have ever saw, called the SP 1500. It appears to have three wheels and is tipping over. It looks like something Goofy would drive and somehow still stay instact on the roads. Apparently; the salesman's name is Edison (I believe Rob Paulsen is the voice) as Pete asks what the SP stands for which the salesman called Simply Phantastic. Whatever sir. So Pete gets it and we go over the controls; which only need a feather to touch, which is a bad idea methinks. So we demonstrate the giant spring loaded chair of doom as Pete is launched into the air and where he lands, do we really care? So yeah; Pete screams, but comes down in the chair safely. It's the ulitmate window cleaning with 200 window wipers. However; Peg can have the one with a lawn chair, tire pump and sacks of balloons tied with rope. It's so unique even the junkyard refused to take it off their hands. How is this a death trap for a junkyard? So Pete gets the best scaffold of doom and wins; while Peg gets the worst one of course as Pete chuckles on cue. Head to city hall as we have a small crowd on hand for the mayor to give Peg a giant cheque; who looks nothing like the mayor from Inspector Goofy. Must be the mayor's assistant as this one has grey hair, tall, wears glasses, black suit, pink tie and grey pants. He looks like a generic aging public servant compared to the mayor actually. Peg is the official city hall window washer as cameras go off and the crowd does a mute cheer in the background. The Jenette-clone newsreporter (wearing a red dress with black skirt and red pumps) interviews Pete who came out of nowhere for this interview. Well; the announcer anyway, even though the pink news van was in the poorly drawn far shot. The newsreporter asks about being the man behind the woman behind the man and Pete runs in and calls out the mayor because since he's a tax paying citizen, there has to be bids on this contract and even the assistant mayor agrees with that sentiment. Pete claims that he can do this better, quicker and cheaper as Peg counters that if he wants to fight for the bid, she accepts that challenge as Pete is confused to end the segment nearly twelve and a quarter minutes in. One small note sort of unrelated to this episode: Why does this episode have six chapter stops? Most show episodes have five: OP, 1st act, 2nd act, 3rd act, and the ED. I don't get it. Well; this was a fine episode for the most part.
After the commercial break; we head to city hall and it looks like a generic glass building as we pan down to ground level with Peg yelling at Pete; mostly demanding to know where her scaffolding is. Pete shows her the scaffolding which is basically a really broken down air balloon with a lawn chair in it. Pete calls this the finest window washing condiment your money can buy. So yes; Pete charged both scaffolds on Peg's tab. Why are they married, again?! Pete claims that this was used to wash the windows of the pyramids as Peg blows him off because she's winning that job, no matter what. Scene change to Pete in the chair of the SP 1500; which is now had all of it's wheels installed and rotated properly. Pete pulls the lever (JESUS~!) and he slowly rises up enjoying himself. Apparently; at five feet he is getting a nosebleed (which we don't see; so he's lying) and starting to black out, because again; Pete is afraid of heights. Pete pushes the lever (JESUS~!) and he comes down and breathes a sigh of relief. Geez; no wonder Peg is so confident of winning this job as Pete proclaims that he'll have to be creative about this contest, which is carny talk for CHEAT TO WIN~! So Peg is in the broken down air balloon and uses the tire pump to pump up to a window and starts to wash and wipe the windows with ease. Peg threatens to make Pete eat broccoli for a year when this is over. Scene change to Pete as he brings Goofy to the SP 1500 and proclaims that Peg is in serious trouble of losing this job and the award. So yes; Pete is scheming on Goofy in order to screw both him and Peg out of the window washing job. Why doesn't that surprise me? Goofy is willing to screw...ERRR...help Peg out and Pete plants him on the chair of the SP 1500; gives him instructions and generally confuses him before popping down laughing. This is not going to end well for everyone involved. Goofy tells Pete not to worry and is already screwing up the promos. What a shocker?! So Goofy opens the white book of doom which means it's the time to bring back the How To Narrator claiming that the SP 1500 is leisurely adrift on the zephyrs of solitude. Oy vey, this is window washing, not cloudsurfing! So Goofy turns the page telling us that this heavenly vehicle must be mastered by knowing the intricacies of ballast. In other words; give it a gentle twist. So Goofy twists a knob and the chair rises up above the clouds while Goofy screams and meets birds flying. One of them lands on Goofy's nose and is apparently tickling it for no reason. Yawn. He sneezes and that is enough to bring the chair down and it nearly breaks the SP 1500. Yeah; they are just wasting time now as the narrator clears his throat and asks if they can get on with the business at hand.
Goofy shrugs his shoulders and apologizes as we repeat the knob twisting, only a much more gentle touch this time as the chair slowly rises to mid level as the narrator calls window washing an artistic high wire act. I think that artistic thing is redundant for this job. But; you know what they say, safety first! Goofy wears his harness and hooks the rope to the hook; but still manages to free fall anyway like a stupid idiot. I'm sorry; but Goofy's gimmick is just there now because he's basically doing the same stuff over and over again now. I'm almost yearning to see Sports Goofy at this point. Goofy claims that he could get seriously hurt doing this. You don't say?! That sounds like a BS&P line to me. Thankfully; he's hanging from the rope like someone from Mission: Impossible. Goofy is thankful that he ate a light breakfast as Goofy climbs up back to his chair. Why bother with the scene changer? Goofy is panting and wheezing as he gets in the chair as despite having no book with him, the narrator is still there talking. Goofy tells him not to stop on his account as we bring out the snake charming spot; only using a arensol spray can and pipe as the narrator cuts this ridoncuious promo as Goofy pushes on the spray can and window washing fuild gets into Goofy's face. Somehow; he doesn't burn in agony. Compare that to today's modern cartoons where they throw soda pop and the character sells it as if acid was thrown in the kisser. The sponge arms come out and squish into the side's of Goofy's face, literally changing his voice on cue and then we circle fade out. So we return with Pete looking from his binoculars, spying on Pete and her window washing skills as she struggles to keep the balloon up while wiping. Jump cut to Pete on the ground near a rope with a wooden table containing lemon meringe pies, ordering Pegums to cease and desist. Yeah, sure; Pete. So Pete has a makeshift catapult as he is slingshotting pies, enclairs and other baked goods into the windows, pissing off Peg more and more by the second as Pete opens the helium tanks on the ground and causes Peg's balloon to float in the air as Peg yells and screams at Pete claiming that she can do this better than him. You know; it's high time you told him why you are doing this Peg, because Pete is clearly trying to screw you out of this because Pete cannot apply Compassion Razor to save his life. He's going to unintentionally kill you at this rate now. I'm just saying, Peg. Pete unclamps the balloon and then taunts her. Geez; even Baloo wasn't this mean to Rebecca in the unused TaleSpin opening promo. Sadly; Pete forgot to make sure the wooden stake was secure as it pops out of the ground and Pete is screwed with Peg blowing him off to end the segment almost seventeen minutes in.
After the commercial break; we see Peg floating away in her giant balloon yelling for Peter (Pete's full name by the way. So it's Peter Peter.) as Pete hops into the SP 1500 and drives from city hall and rides down the street as Goofy bonks into the lights which have turned red; because Pete ran the lights of course. Light turns green as we dodge cars and at least two newsreporter vans; the same pink ones we saw earlier in the sky shot maze spot. We go past the city limits and drive over a bridge as Goofy is doing his redneck yell and then is bungied right into Pete's line of sight. Pete yells at him; Goofy bounces and lands beside him over the passenger side and then starts taking the wheel. Of course! This leads to the SP 1500 driving off a ramp, destroying the barrier and land on the dirt road; causing Pete to land in the chair on top of the SP 1500. So we ride the country side as the SP 1500 hits a pot hole and Goofy bounces into a storm cloud and gets fried and electructed inside the cloud. Good thing this was not shown; Mr. Enter would have had a heart attack. Even Pete is cringing in sympathy pain for this. Yes; it took Goofy getting fried by thunderbolts to get Pete to show a shred of empathy to Goofy. That didn't last as Pete is yelling at Goofy and Goofy comes out covered in ash and soot; but not on his face since we cannot have Goofy in blackface for obvious reasons. Goofy apparently gets back in the driver's seat and calls himself the decimated driver. I love real comments that aren't supposed to be real comments. Oh; and on the closeup shot; Goofy's face is covered in ash and soot now. So Pete is heading straight for a conveniently placed tree; he yells at Goofy to turn, Goofy turns east and breaks through a wooden fence as they are heading on a farm after the balloon Peg is in. SP 1500 bumps off the garden in the process as Goofy tells Peg to hold her helium. I guess oxygen was too offensive even for Disney. This leads to the "driving into the river and submerge" spot for a while as Pete comes up first, sputtering. Yawn. Goofy drives out and crashes into a brick wall which causes Pete to wobble back and forth before the SP 1500 chair breaks and Pete goes flying.
Goofy demands answers to this outrage and then Goofy bounces away since the rope is still on the hook of the chair. Of course! Somehow; Goofy's harness comes apart with no animation to show how it broke whatsoever and Goofy drops into Pete's lap. The chair is flying over the skies as Goofy is glad Pete isn't afraid of heights. Pete then looks down and I think Goofy is so wrong on this that he's not even wrong. So Pete plays Scooby to Goofy's Shaggy and they float in mid-air off the chair. Of course; this is a cartoon, so gravity has taken a semi-vaction, but I don't care because I just want to get this episode out of the way. The two males get WARNERED of course (which is funny considering who bought Hanna Barbera and Turner Productions about eight or nine years later) and somehow manage to land on the balloon, bounce off of it and grab onto the ropes on each side right beside Peg. That is so unbelievable that it's not believable. Pete greets her and then Peg does the Gruffi pose and proclaims that if they by chance don't die, she is going to kill Pete! And yes; she said die and kill here. Pete is panicky despite claiming that he's clam as Peg is not amused by this at all. Pete climbs backwards claiming that he's in peak condition as Peg does the Gruffi pose and blows Pete off because they are at 50,000 feet. Ummm; there's no way they can be at that height. Most balloons go up to 2,000 feet in height. Granted; it is possible to reach 65,000 feet, but with THAT deathtrap?! Come on, now! Pete proclaims that all he has to do is not look down...and of course, he looks down. You had one job to do Pete and you blew it! Pete shakes his head as he is not going to cave into his stupid fear and he climbs up and gets onto the top of the balloon. Pete runs over and pulls the plastic cord on top which allows air out of the balloon. Brilliant move, Pete; now they can die fast rather than slow. Then again; what other plan is there? Outside of making Pete the anchor, but the air balloon supports his weight, so that doesn't work. So everyone falls off the balloon in the process as Peg blows Pete off for that one and even Pete realizes that he screwed up. This marriage is officially dead...literally! Remember the final episode of Cash as Catch Can with Scrooge and Gyro free falling? That moment was hilarious! This one is not, sadly; even with Goofy's presence because we have to do the A Star Is Torn finish which was much better done with Baloo and Rebecca.
Pete begs for pardons a thousand fold and admits Peg is the better Busy Bee as Peg then channels Baloo from A Spy In The Ointment's finish. Okay; at this point, Peg should have told Pete the truth and then have him do the pardons spot, because it would make Pete look like a bigger doofus than he already was. Was this edited out for some reason? Anyhow; they fall as they do the pardon spot and then we fade to black with no bump and no sound effects to indicate a crash and that is that as we head back to Pete's house and Pete finally does the one thousand pardon inside the house. Out comes Peg with her arm in a sling as she then channels Colonel Spigot from Flight School Confidential and tells him to start all over again as Pete is on a scaffold with a red bucket washing windows. Pete sobs and whines about the trophy having her name on it. Pete calls himself pond scum, lowly amoebae and so on and so on. Geez; those are all insults to such things. Yeah; this episode is falling apart, what a surprise? Peg tells him that he missed a spot as Pete fells so bad now as we hear a horn honking and in comes Goofy with the Del Bravo while looking like a mummy. Well; his legs do anyway. Pete is shocked and amazed by this as Goofy is loving this car as he explains Peg bought it for him. Sadly; we never get Pete's reaction because Goofy cannot steer this damn thing since the power steering sucks on it. Pete panics (because Goofy might scratch the car; never mind that Goofy is going to plow into Pete's scaffolding) as he yells at Goofy to hit the brakes; but he crashes into the scaffold and it collapses as Pete lands in the backseat head first and has a spring on top of it. Pete is relieved that he hasn't hit rock bottom until Goofy came along. At this point; ending the episode would have been swell; but of course we have twenty seconds left. So here's the ending: A tow truck grabs the truck as a Goofy clone in a police uniform writes tickets on Pete and somehow this guy is much more believable than Inspector Goofy. Car is towed away as Pete sobs badly and we circle fade out to end the episode at 21:16. Well; at least it wasn't a battle of genders episode; but by god, it was boring as hell. Sunwoo's animating didn't help either. ** (40%).
THE REVIEW LINE
Wow; this is Peg's first focused episode and it wasn't good. It wasn't horrible either, but it was boring for the most part. There was a few spots that were funny; but I got little out of them and Peg's willingness to buy this car and take a third is kind of questionable considering how much of scumbag Pete actually is. It doesn't make her any less of a human being to not do this; and I didn't buy into it much. Goofy was Goofy; but repitition fatigue is setting in on me and it shows a lot when I cannot even laugh at it anymore. It's just another Pete scheme, only on his wife and using Goofy as a accessory. Like I haven't see this dozens of times before. So overall; this was a below average episode with below average animation. Just boring. So...
Thumbs down for this episode and I'll see you all next time.
