## Trivia

* There was supposed to be a scene that consisted of a disturbing closeup showcasing Joey's haircut. This was most likely cut out because it would frighten young audiences.
* This episode premiered during the Pokémon Premiere Party, which marked the Kids' WB premiere of *Pokémon*, which would then lead to the cancellations of most comedy-centered shows on Kids' WB.
* The title is a play on words with "Come on over".
* This episode was written during Season 1, but aired as part of Season 2 instead for unknown reasons. Because of this, there is a copyright date of 1997 at the end of the credits.

## Transcript

(We see a digital alarm clock going from 6:59 to 7:00. It rings, but Joey immediately tosses it out of the window. The alarm is sent flying, and we see Esmond strolling down the sidewalk. The alarm hits his head, and he collapses, dying from it)

(Joey turns on his bedroom's disco ball and looks at his reflection in the mirror)

**Joey:** (to himself) You're a star, baby. (turns into a star) A star! (turns back to normal, and rubs his small strands of hair) Nobody beats your beautiful hair.

(Joey exits the apartment and proudly walks down the street. A taxi driver vomits upon seeing him)

**Joey:** There's enough Joey for everyone, ladies!

(A woman looks at Joey and immediately turns into a pile of dust. A window cleaner looks down at him from several stories above and decides to jump down the window cleaning platform, thus killing him)

(A man waiting at a bus stop explodes upon looking at Joey)

(Joey eventually ends up walking into Floyd, who's fixing a payphone booth)

**Joey:** Hey Pops, what's shaking?

(Floyd looks at his son and tries to hide his disgust)

**Floyd:** Uhh, Joe, has it ever occurred to you that you could use a haircut?

(We see a closeup of Joey's nearly-non-existent hair)

**Joey:** Why would I need one?

(Floyd shows him the destroyed city)

**Joey:** Come on, I thought Mom always said I'm a (his voice turns feminine, and he grows long eyelashes) handsome young man! (blinks repeatedly)

(Floyd doesn't even hesitate to give him $20)

**Joey:** I didn't know my allowance was this early.

**Floyd:** NO! It's haircut money.

(Joey grunts, and he crumbles up the cash out of frustration. The camera cuts to him entering a barber's shop)

**Barber:** How may I help you?

**Joey:** (abruptly hands him the cash and hops on a chair) Just a little off the top, sir.

**Barber:** (starts cutting his strands of hair) No problem.

(The barber's back obscures the haircut process)

**Barber:** (stops for a bit) Are you sure you wanna do this?

**Joey:** (nonchalantly) Well, my hair did accidentally destroy the entire city and kill innocents.

**Barber:** Yeah, but you only have three pieces of hair on your head, kid. I'm sure it's not that bad.

**Joey:** Look, I gave you some petty cash to make you useful for once in your salaried life that isn't enough to pay for your rent. So do your job and make me good-lookin'!

**Barber:** (sweats) Alright. Let's get to it.

(The barber continues cutting Joey's "hair", and shortly afterward, he finishes)

**Barber:** Alright, looking better already!

(The barber hands Joey a mirror, and upon looking at himself, he screams bloody murder)
