Megalo Mart starts seeing signs of an infestation, and Hank (reluctantly) gives Dale the job of exterminating the pest-who starts to believe that Chuck Mangione is in the store.
Tropes
- Art Shift: The second full episode to be colored digitally. It wouldn't be until next season that this would become standard.
- As Himself: Chuck Mangione guest stars as himself.
- Binomium ridiculus: Dale refers to Chuck Mangione as "Chuckus mangionus".
- The Cuckoolander Was Right: Turns out one of Dale's ridiculous conspiracy theories ended up being right all along and Chuck Mangione is the one to blame for all the damage initially attributed to the rats: after the teens that have been terrorizing Dale and his friends while dressed as Chuck are arrested, Dale happily pretends to admit that he was wrong and the whole theory was ridiculous, and just when they're about to leave, the real Chuck is standing on top of the store playing his flugelhorn and upon being asked where the music is coming from, Dale tells the rest of the guys that it's just the PA system.
- Everyone Has Standards: Dale outright thinks Chuck Mangione is nuts for secretly living inside a Megalo Mart, and coming from a paranoid conspiracy theorist who let a mongoose into the store that's saying something.
- Ink-Suit Actor: The Mega-Lo-Mart manager looks like his voice actor, Tom Arnold.
- Mistaken for Fake Hair: Once Dale encounters Chuck Mangione, he pulls his beard expecting it to be part of a mask, but Chuck yells "ouch!", confirming that he's the real Mangione.
- Oh, Crap!: Bill when he sees the doors have been blocked.Bill: Chuck don't want us to leave...
- Properly Paranoid: Dale was right about Chuck Mangione running amuck throughout the store, although initially it seems like it was just a pair of teens wearing cardboard cut-out masks of him.
- Real After All: Instead of it just being a pair of bored teens wearing cut-out Chunk Mangione masks, the real deal ends up being the actual culprit for the damage that the manager attributes to the rats: turns out he didn't read his endorsement contract thoroughly enough, which states that he has to be present at every single Megalo Mart opening ceremony and since they open 400 new stores every year, he doesn't have any time to write any new songs, do any tours or even visit his home to have sex with his wife, so he decided to start squatting in one of their stores, eating their food for free, sabotaging their equipment and leaving behind little "gifts" in random aisles as a form of revenge.
- Wham Shot: The guys discovering that doors were blocked by a bunch of vending machines, proving that there was someone else in the store besides them.
