The ball is empty except for Telly and Zeke, and Telly says balls are for sissy little girls. (Oh, Telly, don't you know from that Are You Afraid of the Dark episode that you're supposed to be 100% specific in your wishes or something will go horribly wrong?) Zeke, of course, twists her wish around and sends her to a (dance) ball, complete with a frilly white dress.
#Zeke the plumber professional
Telly's wish is to play professional ball. In her nightmare, Zeke claims to be a custodian who grants wishes. Telly is also tired and falls asleep at a table while Budnick whispers "Zeke the plumber" into her ear. I blame this episode for my use of the word "wuss" throughout the early-90s. In the common room, Michael is exhausted, and Budnick says he heard him whimpering about Zeke and Harry the Hippo last night and how he's a wuss for being afraid of a silly ghost story. Due to a slight mix-up at the dairy this morning, please discard all milk cartons labeled 'Expiration date: 1983.'" hee. He was better hidden in Michael's bag.ĭr. And also, logically speaking, Budnick or Donkeylips could very easily see Harry in the trashcan. Zeke wants to see what else Michael has inside his head and leans his dirty, wet plunger towards Michael's face, and umm, eMichael wakes up suddenly and finds Harry the Hippo and tosses him into the trash. That was pretty awesome, even though I always sympathized with Michael here because I so would've been the kid with my stuffed animal hiding in my sleeping bag.
Michael tells Zeke that the kids at camp can't know that he has a stuffed animal and "used to" suck his thumb, but Zeke pulls out a bullhorn and announces, "Attention, everybody! Michael Stein sucks his thumb, and he has a stuffed animal at camp." He points the bullhorn right at Michael and adds, "You baby!" ha. Michael asks Zeke where he got it, and Zeke says he got it from inside Michael's head, where he keeps all the things he doesn't want anybody to know about. It is Harry the Hippo, Michael's stuffed animal he has embarrassingly brought to camp. Zeke pulls a ratty, wet animal from the toilet and asks Michael if he knows what it is. I swear I was more creeped out by Zeke than by any episode ever of Are You Afraid of the Dark. Anyway, for some reason, ghost stories that involve getting visited in your dreams always scared me more. But then, as one of my friends pointed out, why would he have a nose bandage over the mask? That bandage was freaky. I never could figure out as a kid whether Zeke was supposed to be wearing a mask or whether that was his real disfigured face, but this time I noticed that Budnick mentions that it is in fact a mask, because his real face was burned in the fire. So, in Michael's nightmare, Zeke the plumber is in his bunk, wearing a creepy mask with a bloody bandage where the nose should be, plunging a phantom toilet. I was 9 when this episode was first on, and masks have always freaked me out for some reason. This is the part that really creeped me out as a kid.
Over at the boys' bunk, Michael is having a nightmare.
