Mac initially refuses, but after some begging from Bloo and Frankie, Mac reluctantly lets Bloo show the clip to Frankie who falls over laughing and plots a revenge scheme on Herriman for constantly overwhelming her with chores. Wilt, Ed, and Coco come in and also fall over laughing. Mac makes Frankie erase the footage which she does despite Bloo's protests, but afterwards reveals to Bloo that she made copies of the video clip then exported them into several discs, without Mac's knowledge. Soon enough, everyone knows about Herriman's secret and they too are all snickering at his secret. Mac breaks Frankie's disc when he gets his hands on it, but Frankie and Bloo merely laugh, which Mac (correctly) interprets to mean they have more than one disc. Finally, Mac points out to Frankie that if Mr. Herriman finds out she's responsible for what's going on, he'll make her life miserable. Now panic-stricken, Frankie agrees to destroy all the discs, but not before Bloo uploads the file directly onto the Internet! |

Mr. Herriman becomes nervous as he thinks he is about to be laughed at and whimpers, "don't laugh". It turns out the people are simply searching for imaginary friends to adopt, inspired by his video. Mr. Herriman takes their requests to heart, and regains his composure. As they follow him, he is elated at the compliment they show by imitating his dance in the video singing his line "Hippity hoppity, hippity hoppity." |
