HTF's Episode Description
Introducing Disco Bear, that lovable beast that never grew out of the '70s. His flirtatious ways get him in a heap o' trouble with Flaky and Giggles! Lucky for him that disco never really died.

Plot
As Petunia and Giggles enjoy a relaxing tea party, a disco ball drops down. Disco Bear then dances onto the scene, wanting to impress the ladies. Despite Giggles and Petunia's clear lack of interest, Disco Bear doesn't give up. He moves over to Giggles and, ignoring her offer of a cookie, takes her hand and starts dancing with her. As Disco Bear begins to show off his moves, he twirls Giggles, sending her spinning away. She ends up spinning right into her tea pot, which shatters upon impact. This causes third degree burns and a significant blood loss as hot tea pours onto Giggles' head and glass is lodged everywhere. Giggles begins screaming and jumping around in agony, which Disco Bear thinks is a new dance!

Now it's Petunia's turn to face the music. Disco Bear grabs her and starts dancing with her, only to bounce her into an electric fence, shocking and burning her to a crisp. When she moves away from the fence, we see a chunk of her flesh stuck to the fence. Her movements of pain seem resemble the robot dance, which Disco Bear imitates, not noticing the damage he has done.

With Giggles bled out and burnt by her own teapot, and Petunia electrocuted black by Disco Bear's dangerous dancing, Disco Bear finishes up his act, sweaty and completely exhausted. Still not noticing the girls' demise, he expresses one last 'grrrooowwwwllll' for the audience as the episode ends.

Moral
"An Yellow Apple a day keeps the Doctor Away!"

Deaths

 * 1) Petunia is electrocuted by an electric fence.
 * 2) Giggles gets a teapot stuck in her head and hot tea possibly burns her brain (debatable as she was still bleeding by the end).

Goofs

 * There seems to be a running goof with the opening sequence: Giggles' streak on her head is, once again, not in the opening sequence, but is in the episode itself.

Trivia

 * 1) The title of this episode is a reference to the disco song Stayin' Alive.
 * 2) Giggles appeared to enjoy dancing with Disco Bear


 * 1) This is the only Season 1 Episode in which Disco Bear appears..
 * 2) This is one of three episodes featuring Disco Bear's theme song. The other two are Ski Ya, Wouldn't Wanna be Ya! and Blind Date.
