Party Pete

**"Party Pete"** is the ninth episode in Season 2 (and ninth episode overall) of *Pickle and Peanut*. It first aired on October 21, 2016.

## Synopsis

Pickle and Peanut hire an imaginary hard-partying celebrity for their party at the park that they must keep secret from Benson while he takes the night off.

## Plot

Pickle and Peanut are cleaning out the attic. Peanut is moving boxes and Pickle is busy trying to swat a moth. While swatting, Pickle knocks a sheet off of a small refrigerator containing soda from the 1984 Olympic Games (RadiCola). Pickle and Peanut both agree they should take a break and drink them all out back.

Meanwhile, Benson and Skips are having a conversation downstairs. Pickle and Peanut overhear it through a vent. Skips is trying to convince Benson to take the day off, telling him that he works too hard. At the same time, Pickle and Peanut agree to have a party while Benson is taking his night off. They go on the computer and start inviting people based on their attractiveness.

Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost enter the computer room and interrupt. Muscle Man laughs at Peanut's idea of a party, but Peanut disagrees.

Pickle and Peanut return from the grocery store, rapping about the supplies for the party they bought. While laying out the supplies. Benson says that he's taking the night off and that Skips is in charge, whistling as he walks out.

Skips tells Pickle and Peanut that they better throw a party better than the ones he's seen them throw in the past. While Pops naps on the couch, Pickle brags about the party being great, despite nobody showing up. He hands Skips and Pops the sodas they found up in the attic. Skips asks if they're okay to drink, considering it expired nearly thirty-one years ago.

Three guests finally arrive, confused at the lack of other guests and the rather boring setup. Thinking that they haven't found the right party, they leave. Muscle Man laughs and taunts Pickle and Peanut for their horrible party.

Pickle and Peanut walk into the kitchen and see an ad on TV about "Party Pete." Party Pete is a German-accented man with two attractive women who will come to your house to improve your party if it's "tanking." Peanut says they *need* Party Pete. Pickle disagrees, because he thinks that he is going to eat all of their snacks.

Pickle tries to save the party by playing a cassette of strange music, and encouraging Skips to dance. Skips declines. Instead he sits on the couch with Pops, Muscle Man and Fives, listening to the awkward music that's playing. Soon, the tape breaks.

Meanwhile, Benson is at his apartment, worrying about the house. Benson convinces himself that it's going to be fine and gets in the warm bathtub.

Pickle and Peanut agree that Muscle Man was right about the lame party, and then they call Party Pete for help. Party Pete comes to the door with his female entourage and an ice sculpture shaped like a urinal. However, Pickle and Peanut can only afford 10 minutes of his time. Pete and his gang go inside and start dancing. Pickle and Peanut convince him to stay after their minutes are up by offering him their "RadiCola." He says as long as they keep them coming, he'll keep the party going.

Party Pete manages to revive the party, with dozens of guests, including strangers, showing up; even Muscle Man is seen to be having a good time as he dances with a girl. The party gets rowdier and rowdier until Benson calls. He asks if there is a party over there, and when Peanut fails to convince him that there isn't, Benson decides to come and check for himself. Pickle and Peanut then go to Party Pete, who is dancing and glowing yellow. Pickle tells him to stop dancing, but he gets shocked from touching his arm, and Pete says he doesn't want to stop.

Glowing with power, Party Pete inflates and floats into mid-air. Skips tells Pickle and Peanut to keep giving him soda to drain him of his energy. They keep throwing soda at him until they run out of cans. They then remember the centaur guests dumped some soda into the urinal ice sculpture. They throw that, causing Party Pete to explode as everyone else flees the house.

Pickle and Peanut say that it's impossible to clean up the exploded mess, but the centaur guests and the park employees all offer to help. Everyone cleans up then escapes via the back door; Muscle Man takes some garbage with him as a souvenir.

When Benson arrives, Pickle and Peanut are sitting on the couch playing video games like normal. After checking the house (even under a rug), Benson believes there must not have been a party after all.

Benson tells Pickle and Peanut that there is a present for them. It turns out to be the RadiCola. Peanut closes the episode by saying to Pickle, "We're dead."
