Wakko, what are you doing?

Working on a gookie for the new season.

You know, something funny, like my old one.

What's wrong with your old gookie?

Nothing. I just wanna come up with something new.

Something fresh.

Okay.

[SNAPS]

What do you think?

Ahh, it's good,

but it's not really a gookie, is it?

It's more of a-- A shmookie or something.

Really?

Oh, yeah. Definitely a shmookie.

Where you going?

Get some other opinions.

[♪♪♪]

Hm.

That's not a gookie.

A gookie's more like:

What you're doing is that:

I'd call that a mookie.

[SIGHS]

Well, thanks.

Hey, isn't that wild? Look at that.

Hey, that's crazy stuff.

But wouldn't call it a gookie.

That face you're doing right there,

that, uh, reminds me more

of a Charlie Callas kind of chookie.

You know, like that:

To be honest with you, kid, I'd stick with the old gookie.

Oh, yeah.

Well, it's delightfully charming,

but not actually a gookie.

Spencer used to do a face very similar to that.

As I remember,

he called it a zap-zip-zap-zippy.

Or some such thing.

[SLURPS]

He had a way with words, that Spencer.

It looked a little like:

Wakko's got a new gookie.

Let's see what America thinks. Detroit, hello.

WOMAN: Yeah. Really like the face, Wakko.

But I'd say it's more of a...

A nookie.

You mean, like this?

Exactly.

I gotta agree, Wakko.

Yuma, Arizona, hello.

MAN Hello, yeah, um...

Okay, Wakko, I'm a big fan,

but I'd have to say the face

just isn't workin' for me, bro. Sorry.

Burbank, California. Hello.

MAN 2: Yeah, listen.

I already told that kid

to stick to his old gookie.

Isn't that wild? Heh-heh.

[SIGHS]

How'd it go?

I don't understand it.

Nobody really liked my new gookie.

[SIGHS]

You know, Wakko, just because something's new,

that doesn't mean it's better.

Everyone likes your old gookie.

You should be proud of that and not want to change it

just to come up with something new.

You really think people like my old gookie?

Yes sirree, Bob-A-Roonie!

What'd you say that for?

Oh, well, I'm working on a new catch phrase.

Yes sirree, Bob-A-Roonie!

Well, it's not really a catch phrase, is it?

Okay.

Well, how about, uh,

"Got any ham?" Nah.

How 'bout, "I feel so free"?

No.

"Don't laugh. It's paid for"?

Nah.

"My eyes are burning"? Nope.

"I always wear cowboy boots"?

I don't think so.

"Looks like a pump, feels like a sneaker"?

Oh, no!

"Slap my fanny"?

Steven won't like that one.

Don't worry, we've faded out by now.
