Synopsis[]

It's laundry day in Dillydale. Mr. Scatterbrain's Laundry Service is making all the customers heads spin; Mr. Fussy is forced to wash his hankies at Mr. Messy's and Mr. Grumpy's washing machine has a mind of its own.

Plots[]

  • Mr. Scatterbrain, Mr. Happy, Mr. Small, Mr. Nosy and Mr. Rude's Plot: Mr. Scatterbrain has a laundry service with his monkey, Bunko. He picks up Mr. Happy's laundry (and bananas), then Mr. Rude's laundry, and then Mr. Nosy and Mr. Small's floor lamp. Mr. Rude ends up getting Mr. Happy's laundry, which is revealed to be yellow towels. Then Mr. Happy walks by and gets Mr. Nosy's lamp and Mr. Scatterbrain switches them out. Then Mr. Nosy and Mr. Small walk by and get their lamp back. Mr. Scatterbrain wonders who the other bag belongs to, but Mr. Rude tells them to stop. It is then revealed to be Mr. Rude's heart print underwear, which Mr. Happy thinks is wonderful. Then Mr. Rude farts and Mr. Scatterbrain's monkey kisses him.
  • Advertisement (US version only): Little Miss Magic's Amazing Laundry Wand. It's meant to get rid of stains, but unexpected surprises occur whenever it is used.
  • Mr. Fussy and Mr. Messy's Plot: Mr. Fussy has to do the washing in Mr. Messy's house after his washing machine breaks down. But given that Mr. Messy hardly uses his washing machine, Mr. Fussy ends up completely shocked when he finds out that Mr. Messy's washing machine is a home to squirrels.
  • Mr. Grumpy, Mr. Strong, Mr. Tickle and Miss Sunshine's Plot: Mr. Grumpy cleans clothes with his washing machine but his washing machine comes alive after he puts in too much detergent while on the phone with Little Miss Sunshine. Mr. Strong & Mr. Tickle come to repair the runaway washing machine only to cause the house to flood and short-circut Mr. Grumpy's TV. After they leave, Miss Sunshine arrives with goats for Mr. Grumpy after he refused to attend the Goat Show she told him about over the phone.

Bumpers[]

Mr. Quiet hangs his tablecloth/blanket out to dry, but trouble is abound.

  1. Some birds land on it and he shoos them off, but it gets defecated on.
  2. Mr. Rude hangs his own tablecloth in place of Mr. Quiet's, but it still gets defecated on.
  3. Same as last time, only this time, the birds take Mr. Rude's tablecloth away and the defecation lands on Mr. Rude's head.
