Grug and Phil are at it again with another contest. The task? Prove who works the hardest. The prize? A pie.
Tropes for this episode include:
- Comically Missing the Point: When Hope and Ugga point out that Grug and Phil are equipped only to handle their own chores, therefore making their fight over who works harder unquantifiable, Grug and Phil intentionally reinterpret it as the two of them do each other's chores to see who has it harder, thus deciding who deserves pie.
- It's the Principle of the Thing: When Hope points out that there is always enough pie for both of them, both Grug and Phil agree that it isn't about the pie so much as who deserves it more after a hard day's work. They even throw the extra pie away to emphasize the point.
- Never My Fault: At the end of the episode, Grug and Phil agree that everything could have been avoided if Hope made more pie. The thing is, she did, and they threw all that extra pie away because It's the Principle of the Thing.
- Pathetically Weak: One time, Phil threw out his back trying to lift a soup spoon, showcasing how ill-equipped he is at heavy lifting.
