Plot[]
While Chas and Chuckie are walking through their neighborhood, all of their neighbors make a big deal over Chuckie's red hair, which he inherited from his dad. After arriving at Stu and Didi's house, Chuckie explains to Tommy that he hates the excessive attention and mockery he gets because of his red hair. At that moment, both babies notice Grandpa Lou, and his suddenly black (and solid) hair. Lou tells the other adults he saw the product on TV the other day and decided to try it on his grey hair.
Seeing this, the babies get an idea and head to the bathroom. When there, they find the hair product Lou purchased, and Tommy puts it on Chuckie's hair. The adults, of course, notice what's happened, but it's too late to save Chuckie's hair: it's as black and as solid as Lou's.
Chuckie is at first delighted because he doesn't stand out anymore, and therefore, the neighbors no longer fuss over him. However, he soon realizes that nobody (even his friends) notices him, period. A couple of ladies see the entire group playing in the park and fuss over Tommy, Phil, and Lil, but completely ignore Chuckie. Angelica comes over and pushes everybody down, except for Chuckie. After this, he begins to cry. He explains that he didn't want to be ignored this much; he actually misses people paying attention to him and telling him how great his hair is. Meanwhile, Chuckie is oblivious to the sun coming out from behind the clouds, and the black shell over his hair cracking and crumbling, revealing his old red hair underneath.
The other babies alert Chuckie to this, and he rushes to a puddle and looks at his reflection. Chuckie is overjoyed to see his red hair back again. Suddenly, Didi screams, because it turns out that it didn't only happen to Chuckie. Now, Grandpa Lou has hair as red as Chuckie's. Lou discovers that the sunlight did something to the color of the dye, and he learns to never fool with Mother Nature or buy hair dye off of daytime television. Thankfully, Angelica even pushes Chuckie onto his butt, and he lands in the puddle, proudly stating, "I'm a red head again!"
Trivia[]
- The CC for DirecTV misspells "Ketchup" as "Catsup" even though Tommy and Chuckie said "Ketchup".
- This is the only time Lou Pickles dyes his hair, as he learns near the end to never fool with Mother Nature.
- Stu and Betty both only have one line in this episode.
- Chuckie's crying in this episode was previously heard in "Home Movies".
- Tommy mentions Bozo the Clown as a famous redhead.
- Moral: Don't feel bad because you are different; everyone is different in certain ways. Having red hair is AS good as having blond or blonde, black, or brown hair. You are who you are on the inside not the outside.
