Go To

Spud suggests Scoop and Travis have a race to see who's faster. Travis isn't very fast, so Spud decides to make him win by throwing in obstacles to slow Scoop down.

Tropes featured in the episode:

  • The Big Race: The main plot for the episode where Scoop and Travis have a race around Bobsville.
  • Bowdlerise: In the UK dub, after Travis claims that he never had a race and when Scoop won, Spud says "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!". In the US dub, it was changed to "Travis! Travis! Travis! Travis!"
  • Cheaters Never Prosper: Spud tries to help Travis win by using a fake brick wall, a traffic signal, and a blockade to slow Scoop down. It doesn't work, and Scoop wins the race.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After trying to stop Scoop from winning, Spud tries to tell them it a only a joke, but he falls into the duck pond and emerges with a duck on his head, causing Bob, Farmer Pickles, Scoop, Muck, and Lofty to laugh at him.
  • Rule of Three: Spud attempts to stop Scoop from winning, a fake brick wall, a traffic signal, and a blockade.
  • The Freelance Shame Squad: Bob, Percy Pickles, Scoop, Muck, and Lofty laugh at Spud for falling into a pond.
