"Workin' Stiff" is the fifteenth season 2 short of the new Mickey Mouse (2013) series created by Paul Rudish for the Disney Channel and Disney.com. It's the 33rd to air on the Disney Channel and put up on Disney.com.
When Goofy oversleeps, Mickey and Donald must control the still sleeping Goofy like a puppet in order for him to pass his job interview. Hilarity Ensues.
Tropes:
- Cheshire Cat Grin: Mickey's reaction when he gets the Of Corpse He's Alive idea into his head. It delightfully contrasts with Donald's.
- Creator Cameo: Illya Owens, the editor of the short, has a voice role.
- Mean Boss: It turns out that Goofy was applying for a job as a crash test dummy, and his boss-to-be was apparently all too willing to let people take such a dangerous job.
- Oh, Crap!:
- Both Mickey and Donald when Goofy snores in the middle of the interview.
- Mickey and Donald when they realize that the job Goofy applied to was to be a crash test dummy.
- Of Corpse He's Alive: A G-rated version in that Mickey and Donald have to use Goofy as a puppet because he's asleep rather than dead.
- Shout-Out: The premise is similar to Weekend at Bernie's, except Goofy is asleep rather than dead.
- This Is Gonna Suck: Donald's reaction when Mickey gives him the Of Corpse He's Alive idea. It contrasts humorously with Mickey's.
- Totem Pole Trench: Mickey and Donald hide inside Goofy's trenchcoat while manipulating him.
