Go To

Story by John Semper Jr. and Ernie Altbacker
Written by Ernie Altbacker
Directed by Hugh Martin
Song: "Wing Wigglin'"

Big Jake takes Jay Jay, Tracy and Snuffy on a camping trip. Ever since Jay Jay can remember, he has always done wing wigglin exercises first thing in the morning. Embarrassed to have the gang watch because he thinks he looks silly, Jay Jay tries to hide his exercises from his friends. But, one day he is followed by Big Jake, who is followed by Tracy and Snuffy. It turns out that everyone does some sort of silly exercise at some point in the day. They learn that doing things to keep yourself healthy is nothing to be ashamed of.

"Wing Wigglin'" provides examples of:

  • An Aesop: Everyone has a special exercise they can do, and keeping healthy is nothing to be ashamed of.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: Jay Jay doesn't have the heart to reveal his exercises to everyone so he excuses himself as a result.
  • Continuity Nod: Big Jake took the same group on a camping trip in "Jay Jay and the Stars at Night", only this time Brenda has joined.
  • Everybody Do the Endless Loop: A bit subverted. Jay Jay's exercises are mostly flapping his wings and leaning back and fourth, save for the song when he does these moves in all directions.
  • Negative Continuity: Jay Jay says he has to do his exercises every time before he flies, but he is never seen doing such for the rest of the series. Same goes for the others.
  • Oh, Crap!: Jay Jay has this when Big Jake catches him exercising.
