In the episode, we see that former Greg star Warren is trying to cope with his addictions. He has a meeting with Dr. Drew where he talks about his psychological history, alcoholism and drug use, and we also see him in his support group, where he callously comments on everyone's sob stories. He has an college-student assistant (played by Glee's afro'd Josh Sussman) who takes him to auditions, and we see him try out for a cereal mascot gig, where his ideas to make it less "cute" are met with guarded enthusiasm. But he promptly loses to Chauncey, an adorable Snuggle Bear clone who already shills for everything from fabric softener to feminine hygiene products. Warren's pretty ticked off, so he decides to hire a former prostitute from his support group to make a sex tape with Chauncey and ruin his career.

Here's where the show veers into Feebles territory, as we see pixelated footage of Chauncey's giant, RJ Berger-like member, and even a brief sex scene before the video is released on YouTube. Chauncey is fired, and Warren gets the mascot job. But then Chauncey's nominated for an AVN Award, and invites Warren to the ceremony. After mingling with real porn stars on the red carpet, Chauncey wins and brings Warren up on stage to thank him, handing him the phallic award he just won and knowingly sabotaging Warren's mascot gig. At the end, Warren is unemployed again, while Chauncey rides around in a limo with porn stars.

While a lot of this seems like it's done for pure shock value (the puppet sex, the giant penis... they meet Ron Jeremy, for Pete's sake!), the shock is surrounded by legitimately funny moments, most of them the result of Warren's dry sense of humor, rubbery face and lack of tact. His efforts to be "cute" at the audition, ending in a slump of defeat, are utterly believable, inasmuch as they're perpetrated by an ape in a football helmet. In our interview, Warren referenced Curb Your Enthusiasm, and there's certainly an element of that awkwardness comedy at play here, like when Chauncey revealed he had cancer. But the show actually reminds me even more of Michael and Michael Have Issues, the short-lived Comedy Central show about two outrageous TV personalities who constantly undermine each other in hilarious ways. And my earlier reference to The Muppet Show was not random -- I was legitimately impressed by the puppet's versatility and the puppetry involved. Sometimes I felt like I was watching Jim Henson handling Kermit the Frog back in the day. I was never a regular Greg the Bunny viewer, but I plan to go back and watch every episode.
