The sex spray episode. Richie and Eddie come home from unsuccessfully trying it on with birds down the pub. Eddie suggests putting an ad in the lonely hearts column of the local newspaper. While reading said paper, Richie finds an advert for "pheromone sex scent" and suggests buying some.
The two go to a sex shop and the clerk mocks them for buying "a sex spray for inadequate men who find it impossible to atract women". Richie claims they are scientists, but Eddie ruins the plan.
They return to flat to get ready by drawing chest hair on themselves with a ball-point pen and shaving Eddie's tongue. They have small fight after trying to pluck nose hair and then go back to the pub.
They try to pick up two birds who turn out to be lesbians. Eddie sprays the pheromone into his mouth which send him into a drunk-like state. He tries to hit on Richie and gets a punch in the face for it.
Tropes
- Amusing Injuries: Eddie tries to yank out one of Richie's nostril hairs with a pair of pliers, throwing him around the room before dislodging them from his nose. Richie retaliated by ripping a cabinet off the wall and smashing it over Eddie's head. He barely flinches before hitting Richie right through the door.
- Blatant Lies: In the sex shop, Richie claims to be a scientist who wants to buy the sex spray for an experiment.
- Characterization Marches On: In this episode, Dick Head is written as just a somewhat irritable pub landlord (and even then, mostly just when he has to deal with Richie and Eddie), rather than the scam artist he's later shown as being.
- Gone Horribly Right: The sex spray does lead to Richie and Eddie getting lots of female attention. From female dogs.
- Groin Attack: Richie trying to convince a woman in the pub to have sex with him results in this, courtesy of her husband.
- Lethal Chef: Richie, whose attempt at a fry-up sets the kitchen on fire.
- Naughty Birdwatching: Richie grabs the binoculars for some of this he spots the couple in the flat opposite getting it on. Their reaction when they inevitably see him suggests that it's not the first time he's done this.
- Out with a Bang: The prospect of death by sex is discussed after Eddie tells Richie that he's sprayed half a bottle of the sex spray on himself.
- Sarcasm-Blind: Eddie, who's oblivious to the sex shop clerk's sarcasm.
- Take You Aside Talk: Richie wishes Eddie to join him in the pub toilets to purchase condoms. Eddie doesn't immediately follow along. So Richie's brilliant idea for alerting him is to shout "Edward Hitler, will you please join me in the lavatory this instant!" — in front of everyone in the pub. Naturally, this has got everyone's attention, so Richie's brilliant excuse to explain his eagerness to see Eddie in the toilets? "We're toilet inspectors."
