So this episode is sort of like a big FU to Smokey the bear, and I approve!
Directed by Jim Henson. Although this is a flashback episode, when Gobo goes to get Traveling Matt 's postcard , Doc is attempting to sew a button on a fried egg, though he started this goal at the beginning of the episode, supposedly when Mokey started writing in her diary. S01xE06: The Preachification of Convincing John. Word Schmord: Mokey and one of the older Fraggles have a argument containing this. Convincing John is also the proud owner of a golden tooth, quite visible when he sings. Convincing John first appeared in the Fraggle Rock episode "The Preachification of Convincing John," when he was asked by Mokey to convince the Fraggles to stop eating Doozer constructions.
Convincing John as a character could probably stand up to some analysis but that’s going to require a real critic, I just blather on for the hell of it. Seriously, if you say “Doozers build” again and again as the purpose of Doozer life, and then it turns out Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:
Mokey decides that eating Doozer constructions hurts their feelings, so she gets Convincing John to help her get the Fraggles to stop. They appear to have a sense of personal honor that requires them to uphold solemn vows, if someone asks it of them. * Here again we see a little more about the mechanisms of Fraggle social control. It’s not like we’ve seen one do anything else. Manipulative Bastard: Convincing John can convince anyone to do anything. Mokey spends some time pondering Doozers, and decides that it’s not right for Fraggles to eat Doozer constructions (they are made out of some kind of radish-based material, and Fraggles mainly eat radishes). *unless you’re a ladyDoozer, in which case you raise Doozer babies, I guess? Why don’t the Doozers get to be this way too? With Jerry Nelson, Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, Kathryn Mullen. Mokey decides that eating Doozer constructions hurts their feelings, so she gets Convincing John to help her get the Fraggles to stop. But when the Fraggles stop eating the Doozer constructions, they fill up the whole cave and get in everyone’s way. This one’s another lesson about interdependence, and environmental balance.
Shut up, vegans. The tasty animals On the other hand I think it is a perfect analogy for people “protecting” forests from wildfires.
Here’s the thing: male and female Fraggles are clearly free to live how they like and engage in a variety of activities and gender seems to have little to do with it unless you are an Old Fraggle banging your gavel and telling other Fraggles what to do. Also we learn that well-meaning liberals ought to make sure they really know what they’re doing before they start trying to meddle in the ecologies that surround them! ; Pinky Swear: The Solemn Fraggle Oath.Mokey makes every Fraggle swear this so that no Fraggle can eat Doozer constructions anymore. Use the HTML below. The life cycle of most of the plants actually depends on fire, and preventing fires does bad things like keep new redwood trees from growing, or leave so much deadwood and underbrush lying around uncleared that when it finally does catch fire for real, the fires are so huge and intense they utterly destroy everything in the forest instead of cleansing/restarting the cycle, and also seriously threaten human life. Mokey decides that eating Doozer constructions hurts their feelings, so she gets Convincing John to help her get the Fraggles to stop. Mokey realizes the error of her ways when she overhears our very first ladyDoozer (a mother, naturally) talking about how Doozers need Fraggles to eat their constructions or else they’ll run out of room to build, and the whole point of a Doozer’s life is to build things, and if they can’t build they’ll die.
