Recap / The Addams Family S 1 E 29 Morticias Favorite Charity

Go To

Morticia involves the family in giving to the local bazaar, to the displeasure of the collector. Feelings get further ruffled when Gomez gives away Pugsley's cuckoo clock.

This episode includes examples of the following tropes:

  • Not Now, We're Too Busy Crying Over You: Gomez sees a pair of Pugsley's shoes next to Cleopatra the plant, he thinks that she/it ate him, so he hits Cleopatra and begs her/it to spit Pugsley out. Then, Pugsley arrives and says, "Father, why are you attacking Cleopatra?!" Gomez hugs him, saying how lucky it was that Cleopatra couldn't digest him.
  • Right Hand Versus Left Hand: Morticia and Gomez go independently to bid on Pugsley's clock and end up bidding against each other.
  • Shrunken Head: The member of the bazaar who knows the Addamses suggests they might include his shrunken head in the collection. Grandmama does give a shrunken head, but it belonged to an old friend.
