Go To

Airdate: 1989

Cyril and Mr. Knox compete products in an attempt to conquer the skateboard industry. Meanwhile, one of the Pigs takes up shoplifting in order to satiate his brothers' comic book desires.

Stealing the Show! contains examples of:

  • The Big Race: Cyril and Mr. Knox have a skateboard race to see whose skateboards are superior.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Mr. Willow isn't pleased to find out that Pig Three has been shoplifting his Mudman comics and punishes him by making him and his brothers work at the store.
  • Five-Finger Discount: Well, four-finger discount, actually. Pig Three steals several Mudman comics from Willow's store so that he can show them off to his brothers. He gets away with it the first time, but when Pig Three goes back to steal more comics, he gets caught.
  • Gotta Have It, Gonna Steal It: Since the Pigs can't afford the Mudman comics they want, Pig Three resorts to stealing them from Willow's General Store. However, he eventually gets busted and is punished by having him and his brothers work at the store.
  • Guilt-Induced Nightmare: Pig Three has a nightmare where he gets arrested for shoplifting from Willow's General Store.
  • Knows a Guy Who Knows a Guy: When Pigs One and Two question how Pig Three acquired the Mudman comics, Pig Three nervously lies that he knows someone who knows someone who knows someone with connections to Mudman himself.
  • Nightmare Sequence: After Pig Three steals his first batch of Mudman comics from Willow's General Store, he has a nightmare where his shoplifting gets him sent to jail.
  • Tears of Remorse: Pig Three cries when he confesses to his brothers that he stole the Mudman comics.
  • Work Off the Debt: After Pig Three gets caught shoplifting the Mudman comics, he and his brothers are forced to work at the store to pay off the comics he stole.
