In this BFDI short, Blocky accidentally spills some water while coloring. But, Eraser does not allow him to use the paper towel roll, which is only to be used as toilet paper. While Eraser takes a bathroom break, Blocky tries to sneak some paper towels... with hilarious results.
Tropes from this short include:
- Bait-and-Switch: At first it seems that Eraser will finally let Blocky use the paper towel to mop up the water, especially since Eraser just doused him in water as well. It turns out that he actually wanted Blocky to change out the empty roll of paper towel for a new one.
- The Cameo: Pen appears briefly just to help Eraser up the building blocks. Then, he disappears.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Blocky trying to get paper towel off the roll brings to mind a pet cat or dog doing the same with a toilet paper roll.
- Epic Fail: Done twice. First, Blocky tries to get some paper towel off the roll, only for him to take off all the paper towel off the roll, and gets caught by Eraser to add insult to injury. Lastly, Eraser tries to climb some building blocks to check on Blocky's progress of changing the roll... only for him to hilariously fail.
- Honor Before Reason: Eraser forbids Blocky from using the paper towels to dry up the spilt water from his glass, even though it would have saved a lot of trouble if he did.
- Kick the Dog: Done hilariously by Eraser. At first it seems he is going to give Blocky a break and give him some fresh paper towel to dry up the water, especially after dousing him in water. It just turns out he just wanted Blocky to change out the empty roll for the new roll in his hand.
- Mime and Music-Only Cartoon: One of a small handful of dialogue-less shorts.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Blocky tries to steal some paper towel from the roll while Eraser uses the restroom. This results in a huge mess.
- Silence Is Golden: No one speaks in this short. The only thing heard are the sound effects and the background music a la silent films.
- Toilet Humor: Plenty of it. It is revealed that the contestants only use the paper towel as toilet paper. This comes with a hilarious-looking sign showing an object wiping itself. Eraser then uses the bathroom. And, Blocky puts on Bomby's hazmat suit just to change the paper towel roll, while he and Eraser both cower in fear from the "disgusting" chore.
