Snuffy is coming over and Big Bird is determined to get the adults to meet him, and they agree to come out if he's really there. But given Snuffy's habit of leaving early, Big Bird begins giving several "practice calls" to see if they come on time, which could result in no one coming once Snuffy finally does come.

!! Tropes seen in this episode:

* CryingWolf: The main issue for the episode. Big Bird makes plans for his friends to see Mr. Snuffleupagus by getting them to agree to show up whenever Big Bird shouts "Snuffleupagus!" When Snuffy does show up and Big Bird shouts it, nobody comes, as he had "cried Snuffleupagus" too many times.
* WholePlotReference: To ''The Boy Who Cried Wolf'' nonetheless.
