Go To

Rocky, a young biker on the run from his domineering tycoon dad, ends up hiding out in the Addams house.

This episode includes examples of the following tropes:

  • Offscreen Crash: Rocky gives his motorcycle to Uncle Fester. At the end, Fester rides it through the living room. After he's driven through the opposite doorway, a crash is heard.
    Fester: [entering] That's what happens when you have a loose nut.
  • Shout-Out: Rocky calls Uncle Fester "Curly", in a shout-out to "Curly" Howard of The Three Stooges.
  • Surprise Party: Morticia decides to throw a surprise birthday party for Rocky.
    Morticia: Now, darling, we want this to be a real surprise to Rocky, so I'll instruct the children to keep it an absolute secret. They're not to tell a living soul—or anyone else, for that matter.
