Translation: Stop Being TOO FAT!
Well; here's the second winter episode of the series as Pete starts the exercise kick when he think he's going to lose his beloved Peg due to some musclehead sleazeball. Geez; afraid of a little competition there, Pete Pete? So; how does this episode fare? Let's rant on shall we...?!
This episode is written by Mirith J.S. Colao and Mark McKain. Mark's resume: This show and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Yeah. The story is edited by the late Bruce Talkington. The animation was provided by Sunwoo Animation.
We begin this one with a red title and a snowy morning on Pete's property with the RV parked in front of the garage. There is public domain football music as we see Pete in his chair pounding the arms of the chair watching football on television. Pan over to Peg, Pistol and PJ near the starcase looking bored and are not amused since the luggage, skis and sled are on the floor. Yeah; Pete cares more about a football game than going on a ski trip. Pistol asks if Pete will ever speak to them again as Peg assures her that this is the last football game of the season and he's coming, weither he likes it or not. PJ blows it off because they don't exist in his mind when football is being considered. Peg claims otherwise as Pete yells for wiener doodle cheese melts while flapping a plate in the air. Peg comes over and her look appears that she wants to kick Pete in the groin, but is stopped by some musclehead jabroni named Tan as she grabs the plate and bails. Tan insults Pete's physical prowess and his weight as we see Tan with a green tank top, green pants, gold belt, rings on the dogears and out of control Elvis hair. Pete groans on cue as we see Tan Roadster and two twin blond women in dresses. They look like the woman Duke was with in Leader Of The Pack, only they are identical twins. Gunner and Mary methinks. So Tan Roadster (Joe Piscopo in his second appearance) with the two twin blonds (Sherry Lynn) responding to him like they are his girlfriends. In comes Peg with the wiener doodle cheese melts, calling him baby fat. No shock; Pete pigs out and gives the plate back to Peg, acting like a douchebag. Peg of course blows him off for his lack of gratitude and Pete responds by bleching. Nowadays; Pete would just fart, even though it's the exact same type of joke. Peg blows him off and covers his mouth, causing Pete to suffacate as Pete struggles mightly. Peg finally lets go of Pete and Pete breathes a sigh of relief as Peg takes it as better than being ignored, she guesses. Pete claims that those were the best doodles ever while holding her hand. Then the game resumes and Pete cuts her off and shoves her away. Why are they married again?! Peg blows him off and bails.
Yeah; Pete is in lazy asshole mode again as Pete is cheering his team on as his team scored a touchdown and Pete dances like he just won the Wrestlemania main event. The doorbell rings as Pete calls for Peg and she is gone along with the luggage. Pete walks over to the door blowing off Peg of course, and opens the door to reveal Goofy and Max in their winter clothes. Only Pete is in regular clothes as Goofy greets Pete, ha-yuck! Pete yells at him anyway; because the most neighbourly Pete ever gets with Goofy is that he wants to kill him, but he's too much of a coward to pull it off. Pete slams the door shut and the snow buries the two goofs, duh! Pete returns to the television and sits down in the chair; but is cut off by Peg and PJ with Gruffi poses on. Pistol opens the door and lets the goofs inside as Peg tells us that Pete was supposed to take them skiing at Mount Ladle as Goofy, Max and Pistol now have snowballs and are threatening Pete with them, claiming that they are killer snowballs and aren't afraid to use them. Pete whines and complains because he's the SPORTS FAN OF FAN you see. So the goofs and Pistol are not amused and throw snowballs at him. I do agree that this is unfair; since I'm certain that they only have five snowballs among them and there was like thirty of them thrown in this scene. Pete gives in and they are going to Mount Ladle, calling it a good idea of his. The babyfaces all cheer anyway and do dances before leaving the house and entering the RV. So we do the RV leaving and coming back spot; although in this case, the babyfaces come back for Pete, who cannot even get out of the chair. Peg has the Gruffi pose on and claiming that she is not buying this one, calling him sugar buns. So we get a lovely moment with Peg trying to get Pete out of the chair, complete with using the wooden rail inside the house and Pete crying on cue. Yip; Pete is just TOO FAT now. Pete and the chair get slingshotted out of the house and crash into something. We don't know what it is because we scene change back into the house as the babyfaces are trying to get him out of the chair by tickling him. That fails. Dammit!
So yes; this is the first of several episodes where Pete's weight is overtaking him as Pete claims that the recliner has betrayed him. The family points out that it's the food that he's been eating as this goes on for far past the expiry date before Pete yells at them to knock it off. Pete claims that he did it to keep up his strength as Goofy pets Pete's belly as Pete has put on a ton or two. More like a hundred pounds or so, but whatever. Pete pushes Goofy away and denies it because he's big-boned and it's all muscle. More like it's all fat and he's a big boner. POW! OUCH! Ummm... Peg gleefully retorts that one for me as Pete protests that his ass is getting numb and wants out of the chair. The problem is; he's stuck like a towtruck to a bumper and Peg suddenly has a Krackpotkin plan now. So we head out to behind Goofy's jeep as Goofy attaches a chain to the back bumper of his jeep. Goofy is ready as PJ and Max are chaining the back of Pete's chair inside while Pete hangs onto the bottom of the stair railing. Pete proclaims that this is his personal opinion, but he doesn't think this is going to work. Peg tells him to knock off the negative attitude because it never accomplishes anything. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Projection much there, Peg "Legs" Pete? Pete decides to be positive that this is not going to work. Peg laughs him off and calls him incorrigible and orders him to suck in his back pockets and get ready as she storms off. In comes Pistol jumping up and down wanting to give the word to Goofy to begin Operation: Unstick Fatass. By the way; Peg was taking large wood out of Pete's fatass. Peg allows her to give the word and Pistol runs out as Pete is begging for mercy and a conversation. Goofy finally gets the word and drives the jeep out of the driveway as Peg proclaims that she should have thought of this before...and Pete ends up being correct as he's still stuck to the chair as he's being towed away and destroying the front door. Pete screams for help; he'll get none from Peg, that is for sure. Peg then stands there and admits that Pete was probably right. Yeah, whatever.
So we head to the ski lodge at Mount Ladle which looks like a typical ski resort as the RV rides in and parks in front of the lodge. Peg insists that Pete lose some weight as apparently; Pete got unstuck from the chair. Pete claims that the chair was defective. Okay; if you think something is defective, it might be defective. If everything is defective, maybe YOU are defective. Pete is finally in regular clothes and man, he's bigger than two Baloos combined now as he cannot get out of the RV and the RV is collapsing before out very eyes as Peg helpfully points this out to us. Pete squeezes out and bellyflops onto the snow in the process. Pete slowly gets up and asks what now. How about you actually lose some weight, you fat jackass! Peg tells the children to have fun and the kids are all happy and bail as Goofy brings out yellow skis. Pete sniffs the air and it is good cooking, yes siree! Peg is not amused and yells at him that they didn't come here to eat. Pete pushes Peg away, calling her an egg roll and walks into the lodge. Peg is deeply worried now wanting to get him to exercise (so I guess this was the motive for the ski trip in the first place) as Goofy tells Peg not to worry because once he sees him having fun, he'll fall all over him to join him. Ha-yuck! Does Goofy even realize how stupid he sounds sometimes?! Even Peg wishes he phrased that differently, so you know it was an unintentional gay reference. So Peg and Goofy leave while Pete returns out of the lodge upstairs with eight hotdogs on a platter with mustard on them. Pete's assholish streak continues here unabated: Despite there being a picnic table with nobody in them on the right side of the deck, Pete chooses to sit in between two denizens on a picnic table that is clearly sagging under Pete's weight as the two denizens are disgusted and bail on cue while Pete eats all eight hot dogs whole basically. Jump cut to Tan Roadster on the bunny hill in a yellow jacket, and peach suit, with read boots on skis putting on his Mickey Mouse gloves as Pete walks down the steps using a toothpick to pick on his teeth. Pete yawns and decides to take a nap in the RV; and then gets cut off and snowed in by Tan. So Tan is near a tree taking off his skis and propping them and the ski poles near a tree while Pete sputters and sneers at Tan. Tan giggles and taunts Pete about his RV service as Pete blows him off and asks about his little go-karts, which sounds like a balls joke to me. More evidence to my theory: Pete asks if they are getting crushed under the weight of his inflated ego. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Projection much there, Pete?!
Goofy and Peg walk in as Tan and Pete blow each other off as Pete threatens violence via sock punching (which is somehow better than sock puppetry if you catch my drift) and Tan claims that he wouldn't be harpooned by accident. Pete pokes Tan's chest and Pete oversells pain in his finger. Tan calls this a fat chance and apparently; Kitten has taught Pete how to do the hip tackle of death since he uses it here and Pete flies stage left and crashes into Goofy off-screen. Pete is stuck in the snow while Goofy is on bottom. Tan laughs and now Peg is pissed off by this and punches Tan in the face full bore with an uppercut underneath the chin with no flashes nor impact stars whatsoever. So, woman on man violence is still allowed to be uncensored at this point as Tan crashes into a tree. Tan then instantly is charmed by Peg's firecracker tendences as Peg threatens to blow up his face and stay away from her husband. Tan is acting like Coolhands Luke; (which is ironic since Baloo's cross dressing name was Tan Margant.) as Pete comes in and breaks it up; ordering Tan to leave his wife alone. Tan notices that and asks the best question of the show: What does this woman see in Pete? Seriously; after all the scumbag schemes and lack of empathy Pete shows, that is a fair and reasonable question. Peg blows Tan off because there may be too much Pete; but it's all hers. Pete claims that she knows a real man when she sees one. Yeah, I'll bet. So Tan dares Pete to take part in the Mount Ladle Winter Games and see Tan in action showing off his muscles. Pete blows him off and accepts the challenge of competing in the games; which even Peg is not thrilled to hear. So Tan and Pete accept and shake hands; which Tan invokes the HANDSHAKE OF DOOM later seen done by Eugene. Tan leaves as Peg reveals that she wanted Pete to get exercise, but not compete in the Mount Ladle Winter Games as Goofy loves this and Pete looks into the hard camera and cannot believe what he has just done to end the segment nearly ten minutes in.
After the commercial break; we head back to Pete's house and into the kitchen as Pete is sitting on a wooden stool (NOT THAT ONE!) on the island realizing that he is in way too deep now. Peg tells Pete not to worry; because she's putting him on a diet. You know; if Peg truly loves him so much, why would it matter if Pete loses to Tan? Is there some contract in marriage where if you lose in these games, the marriage is null and void? Pete is offended by this as Peg asks if he wants to win the Winter Games, as Pete goes over to the fridge and is hungry. Pete hugs the fridge and Peg comes to shoo Pete away and tells him to keep busy with something. So Pete walks over to his chair in the living room and sits down as a box of heat shaped chocolates are on the left arm rest. Pete opens it up and it's empty; except for a note. Pete reads the note and he's angry because it's from Tan as Tan is trying to woo Peg out of Pete's life basically. Pete crumbles the letter and gets up to watch television, and for once Pete didn't use the remote and straight up walked to the television. Suddenly; the television turns into a giant ass hamburger, and it appears to be the same one from Beauty & The Beet. Larson & Gary have no level they won't stoop to. Pete has a headache and sits down on the chair; which changes into a banana split. Pete bails in a panic as the entire living room is turning into giant cupcakes and other assorted food. Yeah; this is a wacky sense of withdrawal on Pete's part. Pete rushes into the bathroom and finds the bathroom scale. He steps on it and the meter goes around to the far right as Pete is yelling for Peg to check his weight. Peg checks the weight scale and apparently he gained one ounce. Pete is not happy with that; even though he has been on the diet for less than three minutes. Did I just say...?! Oh; never mind. Peg tells Pete to get some exercise and so we scene change to the living room with the exercise bicycle as Pete comes in wearing a lot of cheese colored clothese with pink trim. Pete basically says to just do it and plops onto the exercise bicycle and begins to pedal.
Pistol comes in and asks what something is as she pulls out the pin and Pete bicycles literally out of the house. Oh, come on! He destroys the door with the Scooby-Doo snow angel spot of course as we head outside to the brick wall with Goofy shoveling snow and wearing his winter clothes, while Peg is wearing her regular clothes at the brick wall exchanging notes. Peg thinks that making Pete mad enough at Tan will do him some good as she hides underneath the brick wall just as Pete comes back with broken pieces of the exercise bicycle. Yes; it's implied that Peg planted the valentine box on Pete to motivate him. Jerkface! Goofy is shoveling snow and humming as the undertaker music plays in the background while Pete cannot even be bothered to get pissed off at Goofy. Pete heads into the house as there are roses and rose smells everywhere as Peg is holding a rose. Oh yeah; real subtle way of showing that (a) Tan loves Peg and (b) Peg is setting Pete up for her own purposes there, writers. Pete of course is a stupid idiot as he gets mad; as Peg tickles Pete with the petals of the rose claiming that Tan cannot buy her love. Too bad, it doesn't apply to Pete. Peg does however warm up to getting a candy apple red car though which Pete is shocked and appalled. Scene change to outside as Goofy is getting threatened by Pete as Pete is begging for Goofy to help him. Goofy agrees to carte-blanche, ha-yuck! So this logically leads to what appears to be a gym with a sign of Tad's body holding a wired globe above the entrance. Goofy's jeep is already parked in the parking lot in front of the gym and we head inside with Pete and Goofy in the exercise room with a trampoline, rings and other exercise equipment. Pete asks what the Krackpotkin plan is as Goofy brings in a red covered book with a green Goofy on the cover looking like he just had his HGH shots from Larson & Gary. The book is a How to Book of Fitness. Goddammit; the How-To-Narrator is back again. Why isn't he the United States Champion now? So we hit the montage again as we see Pete and Goofy skipping rope and the narrator cutting promos again. So Goofy and Pete do some rival skipping for a while. So Goofy does some crossing arms and the Russian dance with the rope; while Pete opts for the more Western style of jump rope. Wow; this is probably the funnest part of the episode and I wish they would do this all day for twenty two minutes. It would be more creative than saying Waffles from (Infantible) Teen Titans GO (Fish~!); that is for sure. This ends with Goofy and Pete having a meeting of the minds and it wasn't at the smoothie bar as they crash into the pommel horse with Pete stuck in between said horse. Goofy calls exercise fun; and after seeing this spot, it's hard to argue.
Scene change to Pete at the weight training apparatus with Pete struggling to pump iron as Goofy spots and narrator annoys them with his promos. Goofy places the weight key into the bottom pin and Pete lifts it up off the ground and the narrator tells him to put it down slowly. Pete is confused and this confusion causes him to shoot up and then down. Yeah; never mind. Next segment: Pete is on the trampoline and it's already near it's breaking point. Surprisely; the trampoline doesn't break at all when Pete bounces on it and Pete somehow manages to break through the ceiling while doing this. Man; that trampoline is tougher than shoe leather. The ceiling crumbles and Pete comes down breaking the trampoline. Never mind what I said. Pete really hates this and walks off stage left. Next segment: Goofy is running on a treadmill which doubles as a fitness arcade game. Keep in mind; this was long before Dance Dance Revolution was even a thing. Narrator cuts his promo and even Pete is blowing him off. You know you suck when Pete and I actually agree on something. Goofy is running and showing off the computer screen as this annoys Pete even more as Goofy gets off and notices that Pete is tired. Nope; he's not tired, he's pissed off. Goofy wants Pete to ease up as Pete tells him that he's not tired as long as Goofy isn't tired. Well; that's one twist of logic Peg wouldn't mind. Pete gets on the trend mill as Goofy points out that the screen gives a delusion of running on a country road. Pete is running and then he is tiring out and sweating; until a red car appears showing the back of Tan's head. Tan turns around and calls Pete a blimp head, basically taunting him and this is enough for Pete to run as fast as he can as he threatens to do something to Tan; as Goofy is pleading for him to slow down. Peg is like; "No, don't Goofy. He knows what he is doing." So Goofy brings out a platter of a half dozen burgers, and this distracts Pete long enough for him to fly off the treadmill and smack into the wall; taking out the stretchy exercise machine and cause a snow angel into the wall, with black targets in his eyes. This ends the segment fifteen and a half minutes in. That segment was pretty funny though.
After the commercial break; we head to the ski lodge of doom as we got a sports announcer informing us on the conveniently placed pole where the PA speakers are in the middle of the forest as he welcomes everyone and announces the first event of the Mount Ladle Winter Games, which is the dog sled race. We head to the starting line as the small crowd is waving at Tan who has a dog that looks like a deranged Balto; while Pete is using Chainsaw as the dog. Pete is so losing this event, and it may not be his fault for a change. I have no confidence in Chainsaw doing this, let alone Pete doing the mushing. Tan is waving and blowing off Pete; which Pete responds in kind. Goofy and Pistol are in the background as we ready, steady, GO! Tan's dog sled speeds off the starting blocks instantly leaving Pete in his snow powder as Chainsaw is running in the same spot and cannot move the sled; because Pete is just TOO FAT. Max and PJ appear out of nowhere while Pistol is yelling a mile a minute cheering for Pete anyway. Max, I think just spoke his second line of the episode as Goofy tells everyone to not give up on Pete just yet. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That alone proves that Pete has no hope. Goofy claims that Peg has a secret weapon. Yeah; apparently, Peg is going to stoop to Pete's level and CHEAT TO WIN~! So we head in the forest with Tan mushing and way ahead, and then he stops because Peg is right there running interference as she drops her hanky on the snow. Tan comes over to pick it up. This is not going to work because Chainsaw is pooped and knocked out without moving an inch. Pete notices this gentlemenaly move by Tan as Pete is PISSED OFF and he takes over as the sled dog while Chainsaw mushes. Pete runs past Tan as Peg thanks Tan for letting her husband win. So yes; Tan is a stalker now. Tan gets snowed in and turned into a snow mummy. Tan runs to his sled after dusting off and calls his dog, bone breath to get going. Bone breath runs like a roadrunner and kicks snow right in Tan's face. Pete runs past the finish line and wins the event by a fatass. POW! OUCH! Ummm...
So we head to an icy pond for the next event, ice dancing. Memo to Peg: Just do a side deal with the judges, it always works! Ice dancing, Pete wishes he gave up on you! Pete is struggling to keep on the ice with Peg as Peg tells him to look on the bright side that he hasn't broke the ice yet. Literally; yes that is a bright side. Figrually; that's horrible as Tan butts in and wants to dance with Peg. Pete protests this outrage; but slips and slides; ramming into the snowbank partially off-screen. Tan takes Peg's hand and wants this dance as Peg blows him off for having delusions. Sadly; Peg cannot escape his grip and is forced to ice dance with Peg, because you see; Tan has to win one event to tie the event so the final event actually means something. It's called solid booking. Goofy comes over to help and Pete forces him on the ice as we have the first same sex ice dancing team in capitivity. By the way; if this were a modern cartoon, critics would be screaming bloody murder and wanting Tan arrested and charged with assault, harassment and stalking. Which is exactly what Tan is doing to Peg right now? Informed consent is not in this man's knowledge. More "I love yous" from Tan; which the feeling is not given back by Peg, rightfully so. Goofy and Pete slingshot themselves off a snowy tree as Tan throws Peg up and Peg hangs from a tree branch from a conveniently placed tree. Goofy lands in Tan's arms and then Tan kisses him, asking Goofy to kiss him back. For once; Goofy should do this, just to piss off the moral guardians. Sadly; Tan finds out it's Goofy and drops him before he got the chance. What a bigot Tan is?! Even worse; he is jumping up like crazy and he dives into the ice and breaks through; just to get away from Goofy. No wonder Peg wants no part of him as Goofy calls him passionate. No; I call him homophobic, that's more like it. I'm assuming Tan won so we head to the pond near a bridge as we are going to have an ice hockey match. I'm sorry; but regulations state that only Canadian animation companies can animate ice hockey; so that leaves Sunwoo out of the running. Not that America ever follows any rules.
So a purple jersery man -- I assume it's Tad with red shorts, red helmet and red gloves on skates -- is shooting hockey pucks into the net. This is just me; but this guy looks more dressed up for a football game than a hockey game. In that; there is exposed skin clearly showing. Tan shows off his skills, including using the butt end of the stick like a pool cue to drive a puck into the net. The announcer claims that Tan is ready and Tan agrees with him while laughing in a malicious way. So where's number two? Well; Peg and Goofy drag Pete on the ice as Pete is literally wearing a beige shirt, green wrist pads, green shorts, a fencing mask and skates. He's literally dressed to be an out of shape umpire for a baseball game, only with skates on. Pete is dragged to the net which now has the out of nowhere hockey stick next to the net. Pete doesn't like this at all and can you blame him? His outfit alone is a clear violation of BASEBALL protocol; let alone hockey. Peg calls Pete silly and tells him to show up the show off. You wish Tan was Dolph Ziggler there, Peg. Pete has ONE JOB to do: keep the pucks out of the net as Goofy gives the hockey stick to whack Pete with in the mid-section. Pete is beaming as Peg kisses him and claims that she's so proud of him. Yeah; because Pete hasn't stalked her in his career like Tan does. Pete thinks this isn't so bad; until Goofy slaps him in the back and makes Pete wobble backwards and does some flips before landing on his back. Tan decides that he's ready and doesn't care if Pete is not as he does his slapshotting as Pete somehow gets up and opens his mask calling for Mama. Pucks bounce off Pete's belly and force him back towards the net as he is buried in pucks in the process. Pete pops from the carnage and spits out the pucks declaring that he could do it to his mommy; so he's concussed now. Pete falls back on his back, knocked silly as we jump cut to the PA speakers as the announcer informs us that there is a fourth event. Say what?! Wait; so the ice hockey thing ended in a draw? Damn. So the last event is the slalom event and I don't like Pete's chances in this one at all. Pete and Tan get on the ski lift bench and bicker at each other.
Elbows to the ribs ensue as Peg proclaims that she'll wait for them at the finish line. They both sell it and then get on their own cases. So they go up the ski hill for a while and they do the "you first" spot from My Fair Baloo as Pete finally relents and hops off the ski chair onto the snow, slingshotting Tan off the ski chair into the air and where he lands, does Peg really care? Tan is buried in the snow head first; which even with snow had to suck. Tan probably hates life now as Pete claims that this had to hurt and some guys never listen. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Speak for yourself there, Pete. Pete skis away sounding like LB at one point as we head to the starting line which is on the north end of the hill; which is the most dangerous part of the ski slope. Of course! So they take their marks and it's ready, steady, GO! So they ski down and Pete takes the lead around the flags; but Tan retakes the lead on the long downhill portion. Apparently; if you are fat; you are slow on straight lines, while muscle makes you slow on the turns. Okay; good to know. Pete takes the snow powder in the face from the skis of Tan; causing Pete to protest this outrage. So Pete misses a flag by going left and he's DQ'ed as Tan laughs. Pete cannot clear his eyes as he is forced to dodge a tree; and they don't do the cartoon spilt the ski legs spot, sadly. You had one job Sunwoo and you didn't even try. BOO! HISS! Pete then breathes a sight of relief and then ramps off a ramp and splits in between two snowy trees and hangs upside down as Tan chuckles it up some more. So Tan has won and here's what happens next: Tan laughs and loses his balance and drops down the hill. One of the denizens (I guess is Sherry Lynn) points out that he's going to ski off the cliff. Tan ramps off the ramp and heads straight to Pete who is begging for him to stop. Tan proceeds to bounce off Pete and land on the snow on his face knocked silly. Now; this would have been funny; but in runs the blond woman proclaiming that Pete saved Tan from skiing off the cliff to his death.
That in itself is fine; but this woman is actually Tan's girlfriend. Here's my question: How come she's acting like she doesn't know that Tan has been hitting on Peg? Most girlfriends who know and see this would be mighty pissed off at this alienation of affection. She even kisses her as the other babyfaces run in to help Pete down from the trees and they cheer for him. Pete thankfully pops from the tree and lands on the snow chin first as Peg consoles him and calls him a sugar pie. Tan comes in and apologizes and admits that he was wrong as Peg and Pete hold hands as Tan calls him a good man (BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! He has never bought a car from him I see.) and Pete calls Peg a good woman and that is that. Good; this is how it should have been booked. So we head back to the living room (I think it's in the lodge; but it appears to be in Pete's living room) as Pete is sitting in his chair with a blanket on shivering and proclaiming that he showed him. Umm; techincally, you both lost the games finishing with a 1-1-2 record. So Pete's feet are in the iron bucket of water as Peg is pouring hot water from a kettle as she talks about the importance of exercise. Not that it mattered; since Peg had no interest in Tan anyway. Pete then rightfully blows it off as a deal breaker for marriage because all it does is make him sweat and smell bad. Geez; that is one of the few forms of quackery I can get behind. POW! OUCH! Ummm... Peg is disappointed by Pete's response and decides to tell Pete to come in the kitchen since dinner is ready. Pete of course cannot get out of the chair, again. Pete is crying and screaming for help from Peg as Peg does nothing...AND THE ROCK SAYS NOTHING. Head to outside to end the episode at 21:16. A pretty fun episode for the most part; but the animation wasn't all cool. *** 1/2 (70%).
THE REVIEW LINE
This was not a bad episode for the most part; as it was your typical weight loss episode with a motive that made sense; despite not having enough subtly to make it epic. Tan was fine as the stalking womanizing heel and it did help play off of Pete's fears a bit; but it was mostly because everyone except Pete was in on the joke. The animation wasn't so good and Goofy was Goofy. There was some funny moments and it was fun with a good finish and a decent enough ending. So, I don't have anything to complain about here. It's certainly better than As Goof Would Have It, that is for sure. So...
Thumbs in the middle for this episode and I'll see you all next time.
