Bad Hair Day (Courage the Cowardly Dog)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bad Hair Day is a Ma episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog.
[edit] Plot
Ma's factory needs a special blood type for experimenting on, and Muriel has that blood-type. Ma's henchman finds this out through Dr. Vindaloo, who he bribed. He approaches Muriel, but she refuses, despite the money she is offered. Ma's henchmen then take Muriel by force when Courage and Eustace are not present. Courage and Eustace go to the factory where they are greeted by Ma, who denies any knowledge of Muriel's existence. It soon becomes clear that Ma does have Muriel however, and after a chase with Ma and her henchmen, Courage manages to rescue her. He defeats Ma by knocking her wig off as he did last time. Ma and her henchmen are arrested.
[edit] Trivia
- First appearance of Ma's henchman.
- Ma treats Courage similarly to in Mother's Day, but utters the catchphrase 'Stupid dog!' when Courage is interfering. She usually acts pleasant though. The last time they met in her brief cameo in Curse of Shirley she was generally nice to Courage, although acted disgusted at one of the snacks he offered her. In this episode she also orders her henchmen to get Courage.
- Eustace has the invisibility stone. Obviously he has been eating dog food as he is obviously not invisible.
- This episode is mainly a spoof of Michael Crichton's 1978 mystery film Coma.
