Airdate: February 28, 1994

Meet John Brain: Brain decides to play world's game, politics, and runs for president of the United States as John Brain.

Smell Ya Later: Slappy and Skippy face off against Stinkbomb D. Basset and his grandson Bumpo.

Meet John Brain contains examples of:

  • The Cameo: Yakko appears as a reporter.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Brain's overt and unsubtle declarations that he is a mouse who is going to take over the world fly over the heads of the public, who assume he is using metaphors.

Smell Ya Later contains examples of:

  • Animal Jingoism: Stinkbomb declares that it's the duty of dogs to chase squirrels, but he doesn't know why.
  • Fur Is Clothing: After Stinkbomb's fur gets eaten by termites, he puts on another suit of fur.
  • Running Gag: Bumpo asks Stinkbomb if he can smell him and Stinkbomb doesn't let him. When Bumpo is finally allowed to smell him, his stench knocks him out cold.
  • Smelly Skunk: Stinkbomb ran into a bunch during one of Slappy's old shorts and has smelled bad ever since.
