S9 • E33 Jan 11, 1978Oscar shows Bob his brand new automatic mud detector, which he intends to use during their upcoming trip to Hawaii. He sets out a bowl of mud to show how it works. Bob uses the searching prong, which beeps louder and louder depending on how close he gets. He finally finds the bowl of mud and the device sucks it all up. Upset, Oscar moans, "That's the last time I respond to a late-night television commercial!" Ernie eats the ice cream that Bert was saving for later, so he tries to pass off a smashed up banana with ice and gravy as a substitute. Bert expresses his disgust just as Oscar the Grouch comes in with two ice cream cones. He intends to give only one of them away, but swaps the other in exchange for the smashed banana with cold gravy.
