Keeping Up With the Bigheads / Skid Marks - Recap

"Keeping Up With The Bigheads"

The episode opens with a cover shot of "Groovy Homes and Gardens" showing the Bigheads lawn. We see Mr. Bighead in his front yard trimming the edges on one of his amazingly detailed hedges. He is wearing goggles that alert him of any insect activity. He finds a bug lounging on a leaf. He picks it up and drops it in to a box filled with thousands of bugs and insects of all shapes and sizes. The bug shouts up to Ed and swears vengeance.

Mr. Bighead detects 2 more lazy leeches. It's Rocko and Heffer sitting on lawn chairs. Just then a weed from Rocko's yard slips in to Ed's and wraps around his flowers, choking them. Ed fights the weed with an axe but the weed beats him pretty bad. After Rocko and Heffer decide it's time to watch TV, they get a knock at their door. It's Mr. Bighead and he tell's Rocko that his nephew is coming at 6 to condemn his house.

Rocko and Heffer see how bad his house has become so they tell Mr. Bighead that not only are they going to fix it up, but they are going to make it nicer then the Bigheads. Rocko and Hef start by finding some materials to use, with little luck. They mix several colors of paint together because they lack enough of one. It makes a greenish-brown. New color, breen. They start fixing the roof and then move on to the sides of the house. They get some Tar-O-Flux and try to patch up Rocko's driveway. All the while Ed is laughing at Rocko and Heffer's poor attempts at fixing the house.

With 10 minutes left before the inspector arrives they take a look at the house. It looks the same and you might even say it looks worse. Not looking good for Rocko. After more taunting from Mr. Bighead they try to add some landscape. Heffer tells Rocko they need fertilizer. Heffer squats down in Rocko's yard and starts running and jumping all over the yard. They take a look at the yard, but one small flower sprouts up. Just as 6 o'clock arrives, they ground begins to shake violently as grass and flowers start leaping out of the ground. Heffer is tossed into the air and lands on a table, launching the breen in to the air which spills all over Rocko's house. The bucket keeps rolling and knocks over the box holding all the bugs and insects in Mr. Bighead's yard. The newly freed bugs shout "Move out" and eat everything in Ed's yard, even his fence and the walls of his house. The breen dries on Rocko's house and makes a new shiny coat of yellow.

Ed's nephew shows up and sees Rocko's house, then turns and looks at Ed's house. He tells Ed to sign a piece of paper and then taunts Rocko and Heffer. Behind him, his house is slowly pulled away. Rocko tries to tell him but he laughs at Rocko, until he sees his wife being pulled away, along with the rest of his house. Ed runs down the road after his house. Rocko tells Hef that if they keep up the work on his house, they can keep it clean. Rocko shuts the door and all the paint peels on his house, the walls crack and his whole lawn dies.
