He'll want to drink blood. Better give him some of yours, it's ninety per cent proof.

The Halloween episode. It's Halloween and the two have decided to go trick or treating to raise cash for a party. Richie dresses as the devil and Eddie dresses as a banana since their were no more pumpkin outfits left. While out they stumble on Spudgun's house and let it slip that they are having a party.

The two prepare by making a rather thick homebrew that dissolves the enamel off the bath and Richie makes "sprouts mexicain" a mix of leftover sprouts, chilli powder, curry powder, three bottles of tabasco sauce and gunpowder. Only Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog show up resulting the party being a failure.

Richie decides he will sell his soul to the devil for cash and sex. They make a pentangle out of pencils and eat the sprout mexicain to summon him. At midnight the "devil" appears, but is quickly revealed to be Dave's daughter Dorine.

Tropes

  • Ate the Spoon: The homebrew dissolved the cups and took the enamel off the bath.
  • Bring Me My Brown Pants: Richie soils himself three times thanks to the cattle prod.
  • Call-Back: The sprouts Richie cooks are leftovers from Christmas. Which was many months ago.
    Richie: Yes, they were a bit... frisky...
  • Creepy Crossdresser: Played with; Richie's attempts to extort people out of money with a cattle prod in order to throw a party where he can get laid would normally qualify him as this, if not for the fact that he's so stupid that he genuinely doesn't realise that the devil costume he's wearing is intended for women.
  • Derailed for Details: Eddie interrupts Richie telling him to say 'Trick or treat' by pointing out that he is a mute banana.
  • Double Entendre: Breakfast is a hurricane of them.
  • Exact Words:
    Richie: Eddie?
    Eddie: Yep?
    Richie: Where's the cattle prod?
    Eddie: Here it is!
    Richie: Right. Give it to me.
    Eddie: I beg your pardon?
    Richie: I SAID GIVE IT TO ME!
    Eddie: Righto. (stuns Richie, causing him to experience a Potty Failure)
  • Fire-Breathing Diner: Richie invents a dish called "sprouts Mexicaine" although the fire doesn't come out of the mouth.
  • Gargle Blaster: Eddie creates some homebrew which has the appearance and consistency of roofing tar, and has a habit of dissolving enamel and porcelain, requiring them to drink it out of steel pans.
  • Hidden Depths: Eddie somehow manages to turn a lot of carrots into a lot of small explosive devices.
  • Lethal Chef: Richie's sprouts leave everyone on the floor with fiery bottoms.
  • Oh, Crap!: The four lads when they think the Devil is at the door.
  • Razor Apples: Richie and Eddie receive some of these from an old lady while out trick or treating. When Eddie questions the presence of razor blades, Richie claims it's a "Halloween tradition."
  • Rule of Three: The cattle prod causes Richie to crap himself three times.
  • Stuff Blowing Up: The carrots. Richie and Eddie set one of them off while preparing for the party, and the episode ends with a box-load of them being ignited thanks to Spudgun's fiery farts.
  • Tim Taylor Technology: If you compare a real-life cattle prod to Richie and Eddie's (which is about four feet long, has to be carried via a shoulder strap and has enough batteries and wiring to power a medium-sized street), it's no wonder Richie keeps crapping his pants whenever he gets zapped by it.
  • Toilet Humour: Richie shits himself three times because of the cattle prod. Later, everyone who eats the sprouts gets fiery farts.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Subverted. Richie and Eddie pick a fight with three small boys, and lose.
