Summary

TRIO

Bert becomes Cyril's media spokesman.

Michael Howe

Cyril plans to market a new brand of cologne. The only problem: it stinks!! However, upon watching a music video of the Raccoons performing at Evergreen Stadium, Cyril sends the pigs to make a licensing deal. However, when confronted with the cologne's bad odor, almost everyone says no, but the pigs see how eager Bert is, and try to persuade him. In the end, Cyril promises a lifetime supply of peanut butter, and Bert complies. Bert then starts filming Cyril's commercial the next day, going through some rather painful ordeals, doing stunt work, and having his voice dubbed over for part of the commercial. Due to a problem with one stunt, Bert is sent airborne in a balloon, which gets snagged on a high mountain, when his friends come to the rescue. The commercial airs, but Bert can't be seen, because of the giant bottle of cologne on the screen. Bert figures his acting ability was wasted, but Cyril seems to think otherwise when he sees the commercial.

Notes

Stephan Lesch noticed the presence of "Aliquam Erat Ipsum" written on a clackerboard. Means roughly, "It was indeed he alone." Go figure.
