Just say no.

Red organizes a game of "Floop, Bloop, and Whoop", in which Fraggles dive into the pond. However, when Wembley has to dive from the top of a large Doozer tower, he gets so scared that he freezes in place. Boober tells Red about the only cure for Wembley's condition: stinkleberries, which grow in the Gorgs' garden. However, when Red goes to retrieve them, she instead receives some words of advice from Marjory about not pressuring Wembley into doing something he doesn't want to. When she gets back to Fraggle Rock, Red apologizes to Wembley, and he unfreezes.


This episode contains examples of:

  • An Aesop: Don't pressure people into doing things they don't want to. Can double as a consent Aesop.
  • Continuity Nod: The world "floop" in the song "Floop, Bloop, and Whoop" may be a nod to the original series episode "Doozer Is as Doozer Does", in which the Doozers called bouncing "flooping".
  • Entertainingly Wrong: Uncle Traveling Matt mistakes a garbage truck for the Silly Creature welcoming committee.
  • Harmless Freezing: Wembley doesn't seem to suffer any ill effects from literally freezing solid.
  • Loads and Loads of Rules: Boober, as the referee of "Floop, Bloop and Whoop", lists of 800+ rules about the game. Ironically, there is no rule for who determines the winner of the game.
