Bumpy, an ol' softy at heart, lets the momma glove have the sock in the end. / Squishington thinks that getting kissed by a princess will turn him into a prince. With the help of his bosom's buddy Bumpy, he sets out to try and kiss a Cute Doll, with dire results.

In the end, he learns that a simple apology is best...but only after tampering with the very workings of Time - the Fourth Dimension!!! / Squishington has a cold, and Mr. Bumpy vows to cheer his pal up by doing a magic trick - pulling a rabbit out of a hat!

He is gonna clean every single germ out of his bathroom, if it's the last thing he does. And it just might be. When he and Bumpy shrink themselves down to the microscopic level to disinfect the germs mano-o-germo, things get pretty rough.

8 Dr. Coddle / Made in Japan
1/1/93
Molly gets the bright idea of becoming a doctor, so she sends away for a mail-order course in basic medicine. Unfortunately, Bumpy eats the course!!

When Molly tries to put her new found knowledge into practice on her first patient Squishington, trouble is the prescription for the day. Can Bumpy right his wrong before Squish becomes another check mark on a Health Insurance Form? / Bumpy's ordered a really cool, neato, humungous toy robot from the back of a breakfast cereal box. Boy, is it gonna be great! Squishington is kinda worried though. The robot looks very big, massive and threatening. To Squish's relief (and Bumpy's bummer), the robot, when it arrives, turns out to be a little cute mechanical droid, not a big, threatening robot. Unfortunately, late that night something big and threatening is howling to the skies. Is it the giant? And how did it get in the house?!

9 Baby Snail / Gum Crazy
1/1/93
Bumpy hates babies, no ifs ands or baby butts. Babies and Bump just don't mix. So what happens when our warty green hero becomes the caretaker of a little, lost, ootsy-wootsy-cutesy baby snail? Maternal bonding, that's what. Bumpy becomes a mom-surrogate extraordinaire! He and the little tyke rollick and play and basically get nauseatingly cute. But when the Momma Snail returns, Bumpy's heart is going to be broken... / Bumpy's gone gum greedy. He's chewed, spewed and swallowed every stick and wad in the house. And he wants more. When he discovers that gum stays in the stomach for over seven years before being digested, he reaches down into himself to get it. But wait, this warps the very fabric of space, and an awesome black hole is created, one that will swallow the Earth if Bumpy doesn't let go of the gum. Can Squishington, braving the "Fantastic Yucky Voyage" inside Bumpy, convince his friend to let go of the gum? Hardly. Looks like the Earth is doomed. Karaoke Cafe Song Why Do You Like Me?
10 Not of this Boy's Room / To Sleep Perchance
1/1/93
Aliens bent on invading the Earth accidentally abduct Bumpy; woe is they. Bumpy fouls up their invasion plans, destroying their killer robot and making the aliens feel mighty alien, before finally crash-landing the flying saucer smack dab in the middle of the boy's room. Only Elvis Presley could make things worse. Hey, who's that on the horizon with a guitar strapped across his back? Why, it's... / Heavens!! The boy can't sleep, and if he can't sleep, his Mom says he's gonna turn into a zucchini!!! Not that!! Well, Bumpy isn't gonna let that happen to his hero, his idol, the giver of all things dirty, gooey and wonderful. Nope, no way, not in a million years. Unfortunately, no matter what Bumpy tries, it only keeps the Boy more awake - obviously, since the Boy's hearing Bumpy. What to do? What to do? It is up to the Bumpmeister to make the ultimate sacrifice go up against the Closet Monster, in the hopes of letting his Boy get some shut eye. Karaoke Cafe Song Gotta Have It
11 Unexploded / Loss of Face
1/1/93
Squishington's stomach is ticking! Bumpy thinks it's a bomb! Squish is not happy. Bumpy risks life and limb to protect his buddy from any sudden jars and jerks, while at the same time trying to defuse, and/or get Squish to un-swallow the bomb. Squish is trashed in the process, despite all of Bumpy's best intentions. In the end, it turns out it wasn't a bomb all along, but a clock! Ha-ha, the joke's on Squish and Bump - until the clock explodes!!! / Squish hates his face. He thinks it's worthless and boring. "Who would want a face like this?" Well, when our blue guy accidentally wipes his face off onto his washrag, we find out who would want his face. Silverfish! Yup, Squishy's face is valuable. Possibly the most valuable thing the Silverfish could have they all but worship it! Now Squish must somehow convince a whole subbasement full of hostile silverfish to give him back his face. Just goes to show that one's man's face is another man's icon. Karaoke Cafe Song New Neighbourhood
12 Comfort the Uncomfort / Sock it to Me
1/1/93
Molly Coddle is a comfort doll extraordinaire. Yup, there isn't anything she can't comfort, or so she feels. "After all," she says, "it's my job."

1/1/93
The tables are turned when strange radiations mutate a harmless slice of bread into a slavering, feeding-frenzied, piece of terror toast!

Fortunately, in the end, Bumpy knows which side the bread is buttered on and defeats the heinous whole wheat. / Mr. Bump is turned into a baby and sentenced to time in the Big Crib. In a film noire parody of every prison movie ever made, bumpy must survive in the brutal babies' world of high chairs, patty-cake and dirty diapers. Along the way, he must take on the head honcho Big Mike, the Pacifier King. But even if he survives that, will he live through The Burping?? Karaoke Cafe Song Go Away

Mr. Bumpy has to be one of the funniest characters ever. And that's saying a lot, in my opinion because "Bump in the night" was around during the mecca of Saturday morning cartoons.
