Recap / Pee Wees Playhouse S 4 E 4 Sick Did Somebody Say Sick

Go To

Sick, Did somebody say Sick? is the fourth episode of the 4th season of Pee-wee's Playhouse. Pee-Wee is out of food and goes to the grocery store. While doing so, Randy decides to take over the show. And when anybody says the secret word, They should bark instead of scream. Then Pee-Wee scolded to Randy to not ruin the show again. However, there is another problem. Jambi has a disease called Meka Leka Hi, Meka Hidy-Itis. Pee-Wee calls Dr. Jinga-Janga the Genie Doctor.

Extra notes:

  • Connect the Dots: Prison
  • Jambi's Wish: Paris But it could not be granted due to a disease
  • Featured Cartoon: To Spring (1936)
  • Features a Penny cartoon.

This episode provides the example of:

  • Actor Allusion: Dr. Jinga-Janga is played by Bernard Fox, which indirectly alludes to his role as Dr. Bombay, the Witch Doctor, from Bewitched.
  • Hostile Show Takeover: Randy takes over in Pee-wee's absence, making everyone bark like dogs instead of screaming at the secret word.
  • Secret Word: Go (Randy obtains it and makes everybody bark instead of scream)
  • Shout-Out: In response to Jambi's inability to grant Pee-wee's wish to see Paris, Pee-wee tells him, "We'll always have Paris."
  • Sick Episode: Poor Jambi.
