Courage the Cowardly Dog epiosode about Fred the Freaky Barber?
Every time I happen to see it on television I haven't got a tape
recorder handy.
It's so cool.

hallucinated that one. actually, i have a hard time believing anything
as... odd... as Courage the Cowardly Dog could make it onto tv. but
there it is. what an amazing world we live in.

I finally got Freaky Fred from one of the binary groups,
after considerable begging and pleading. But no xscript
of the dialogue.
You've got to wonder about the creative team behind it,
how they've managed to continue without being nuked for
being too weird, like "Invader Zim"(*), yet still
consistently throw in goodies like sitar riffs and obscure
impersonations, and the occasional computer graphic, which
I think was pioneered on "Beetlejuice", alongside the more
mundane plot lines.
(*) The "school nurse" episode of 'Zim' did overdo it a tad.

They deal with aliens from outerspace a lot, yes, and
bugs and other nasties. Very strange. But that particular
episode was probably the best they've ever done.

If you can tell me where to find a copy, I'll transcribe
it into ASCII and post it.

Hello new friend, my name is Fred,
The words you hear are in my head.
I say, I said my name is Fred
And I've been very naughty.
(M: I can't wait for that wee lad Fred
to arrive.)
(E: That freak's not setting one freaky
foot in this house.)
The story I'm about to tell,
I tell you, I will tell it well
Is of my dear Aunt Muriel
And just how I've been naughty.
(E: The freak's a barber. A freaky barber.
With his own freaky barbershop. Where
freaky things happen. Freaky barber
things.)
Voila. The farm. My aunt live here.
With precious pup and husband dear.
My heart beat fast as I drew near.
I felt so nice--and naughty.
(doorbell)
(M: Ooo, that must be Fred.)
I thought just how excited they
Must be, that I would come today
They'd shout, "Come Fred, Huzzah
Hooray, dear boy, you look so naughty.
(M: Ah Fred, my dear nephew. What brings
you to our cozy corner of the world?)
(F: Holiday.)
(M: Courage. Come and meet Fred.)
That's when my tired eyes beheld,
A doggie dog, like dog he smelled,
D-O-G is what he spelled,
And that's how I spell "naughty."
(E: Gonna go to the hardware store, and,
you know, fix the bathroom door. Just
don't try shuttin' it, 'cause you won't
be able to git it open.)
(M: Eustis, our guest is here. Say hello
to Fred.)
(E: Yeah. Hi. Freak.)
(M: Courage, shush now. You must be exhausted,
Fred dear. Would you like to freshen up?)
(F: Yes, been quite a trip, it has.)
(M: Show Fred the bathroom please, Courage.)
(C: Nooo.)
(M: Such a fuss. This rudeness won't do.)
(C: Okay, I'll do it. But I won't like it.)
(E: Okay, I'm goin'. Freak.)
(M: Eustis, dear. Could you do me a favor?
I forgot to give Fred fresh towels,
would you bring him some?
(E: You give 'em to the freak. (Slams door.)
Whoops.)
(M: I heard the door slam.)
(E: The door slammed. Well, I guess I'd better
get.)
(M: Now don't you boys worry, Eustis will be back
soon, to get the door open.)
Alone was I, with tender Courage,
And all his fur, his furry furrage,
Which, I say, did encourage,
Me to be quite naughty.
(F: Courage. Your hair. It reminds me of the
first time I knew just how I felt about hair.)
It was a day I do not forget,
The day that I first met my pet,
Oh, what a lovely gift to get,
I'd never felt so naughty.
My fuzzy friend is what he was,
This darling little ball of fuzz,
And oh, such fuzz, such fuzz,
It does, demand that I be naughty.
He looked at me, his fetching eyes,
And fetching fur, did hypnotize,
I filled with joy, I filled with size,
And that's when I got naughty.
(F: Now, now. You shouldn't play in the toilet.)
(M: Don't worry, boys. Eustis should be at the
hardware store by now.)
This dripping hair, this droopy curl,
Unfolds sweet memories of a girl,
With tresses oh, they'd twist and twirl,
And tempt me to be naughty.
Barbara my love was named,
And her fair hair, a mane untamed,
Until one evening, I'm ashamed,
I got a little naughty.
The look upon my young love's
Face, was sweet as lace, but
In this case, I realized she
Needed space.
(F: I never more was naughty. Well, maybe
not never. Playful little scamp.)
(M: Is everything all right in there? Just
can't wait for those pancakes, can ya?
Wonderful. Eustis should be back any
minute now.)
(F: No need for panic. Behold. Sustenance
hungry whelp.)
Dear cur, you fur at least remind,
Of nothing found in human kind,
But for one fellow, who did find,
Me, to be in a certain mood.
Into my shop he walked one day,
With bush above, and beard bouquet,
That's no toupee, I pray, no way,
I could help, but be--no.
I'd never seen such hair before, these bangs,
They sang, his neck, it beckoned. Eyebrows,
Armpits all were reckoned. Soon I figured,
What the heck, and guess how I was naughty.
(F: Sweet pooch. Afraid I'll shave your tail?
Why now. That would be weird.)
(Police: Surround the area! Cut the power!
We don't want anyone getting shaved
in there!)
(F: So ends our little story.)
(C: What took them so long?)
But then my landlords did presume,
To free me from that porceline tomb,
And ferry to a private room,
Your hero, ever doughty.
Goodbye, dear Aunt, I'll miss your farm
And Eustice's ebullient charm.
And farewell, Courage, what's the harm
If I was slightly naughty.
With Love, Fred
