Nudnik Show Bumpers

Upon The Nudnik Show's release, not only had Nudnik impossible had been put together for it, but It also had 11 bumpers with all new animation, each one being about 30 seconds long. According to the IMDb listing, Jules Feiffer was a writer for the series, so it is most likely that he wrote for the bumpers.

## Everything's coming up noses

Nudnik goes to plant some flowers on his windowsill, but notices they aren't rising right away. He scratches his head wondering about this and dandruff falls from his scalp, causing four little Nudniks to sprout up from the dirt, and Nudnik sighs as his reaction to this predicament.

## Bite Size Doggie

Nudnik sees a charming puppy dancing in the window and sighs in admiration. The pet store owner approaches him, but Nudnik reaches into his pocket and proves to the man he has no money for it. The man is revealed to have bandaged hands and walks inside, and Nudnik is curious about this, but soon learns why as the little dog bites at Nudnik's pantleg.

## Nudnik Washed Up

Nudnik pushes an old tub up a hill to take a bath, and strips down and decides to take a bath. He turns on the water spout, grabs a scrub brush and tries to reach his back to scrub it, but trying this sends tub down the hill and crashing into the bathroom of a house below where the woman is also bathing, and Nudnik points to his back and offers her the brush to scrub his back.

### Trivia

During some viewings of the Nudnik episodes, some people had thought Nudnik was a girl, so Gene came up with this particular gag, creating along with it a reference page of Nudnik completely nude, though his genitals are only visible for a single frame.

## Weigh To Go

A dog brings Nudnik a coin and presents to him a nearby scale. Curious what his weight might be, Nudnik puts in the coin and steps on the scale. Suddenly, coins shoot out from the machine into his pants, but this makes Nudnik too heavy to the point where he falls through the scale and the floor.

### Trivia

Subtle references can be seen on the wall, such as "Czech made" referring to the episodes being made in Czechoslovakia at the time, "Mama" most likely referring to Nudnik's mama, "Tom Terrific" referring to a popular show Gene had worked on in the 50s at Terrytoons, and "Snyder" being the last name of William Snyder, the producer of the Nudnik episodes.

## Walking The Logs

Nudnik is fascinated by a stilt walker at a nearby circus. The stilt walker sees this and offers Nudnik to have a go at them. He gets up on a ladder, but the steps fall off and the sides of the ladder fall through his clothes, leaving him walking off with his own wacky set of stilts.

## To Pee or Not to Pee

Nudnik really has to go to the bathroom, and he comes across the bathroom, but isn't sure what room to use as he doesn't think he looks like either of the signs, so hides behind the corner of the wall to see what goes into the rooms. Unfortunately, the people going into the rooms don't look that different at all from each other, so Nudnik resolves this by drawing on his own door and heading inside, but gets his scarf caught on the door on the way in.

## This Gag sucks!

Nudnik decides to vacuum up his humble abode, and vacuums up quite literally everything in the process, leaving a bare room, and after he does this, he flips the switch and the vacuum explodes and everything is placed back in it's original disorderly manner.

### Trivia

This is the only other place Nudnik's mama makes a photographic appearance.

## Lights Out!

Nudnik pulls out a newspaper from a trashcan and goes inside a vacant building to do some reading by the light, which is a lightbulb screwed into a socket held up by poorly put together wiring done by most likely Nudnik himself. He puts on his glasses, sits down and turns on the light, but it immediately shorts out, and while Nudnik fiddles with it, the poor electrical system Nudnik has going on causes the whole world to have a power outage.

## Insurance will cover it!

Nudnik grabs a bunch of boards and constructs a makeshift house on the side of a large old building. As he hammers in the final nail, the giant building collapses, but Nudnik's humble little shelter remains, and he is pleased.
