Knights and Daze Princess Nebula, an air-headed medieval princess, makes her bid for fame as a contestant on Skatoony. But the simple act of discarding a snotty hanky has dire consequences...like causing TDI's Owen, a nervous, compulsive overeater, to go to town on the Quiz Block. Chudd retrieves the hanky for his used hanky collection, but the jealous knight Sir Rudolf challenges Chudd to a duel. Chudd must defeat the Knight in order to get the show back on track and crown this week's Skatoony champ. |

I Stink, Therefore I Am Bigfoot is very excited about this week's Skatoony Quiz. Unfortunately this causes the lovable lump to emit a sinus-frying stink strong enough to knock over TDI tough-girl, Eva. With the unbearable smell putting off the other contestants, it's up to The Earl to clean up Bigfoot's bog-like odour and put the quiz back on track. To add to the problems Bigfoot and Charles both fall in love with fellow contestant, society rich girl Penny Posh-Botts. A love triangle forms and it's down to Chudd and The Earl to break up the fight before the final Skatoony Quiz Champ Challenge. |
