Episode 2 has to do with the number 2, in a tale about Cabin Fever illnesses.
QT and Meow or the rest of Team BBP and Dandy
Dandy and Meow
Dandy and Ukeleleman
Dandy and Dandy.
In the beginning, Dandy and Meow have an argument over a song.
Dandy then quits his team leaving Meow and QT alone. Dandy hopes to find comfort with a princess, only to find out that is a male alien in admiration of his smile, since he doesn't have one. In a twist, Ukeleleman has no one who wants to talk with him, and yearns for a friend, possibly having driven him mad, if that is not his species natural state.And what is madness other than society's standard for what is unacceptable, which is always tested when one approaches ones life in danger? Dandy is a hunter and Ukeleleman is an entertainer, yet in a twist, when
Dandy sees Ukeleleman have people stuffed, he is ironically the man who
is shocked and wants his friends back in what we perceive as right because he is the main character of the show.
Another mad section of the episode is a surreal, 2001: A Space Odyssey moment when Dandy sees himself being in a tug of war with the aid of Meow and QT who are ironically saving him and not the other way around!
We see also see Dr. Gel in two segments as a son and as a person with an Oedipal complex in the River of Time. He is the opposite where he was happier in the first segment opposed to the second.
Also of note, when Dandy punches Ukeleleman in the face, he gives the episode a thematic happy ending, symbolized through the smile in his mask, as both Dandy has his friends back and Ukeleleman receives a smile.
On a final random note, the real life Ukeleleman was played by George Formby, a British actor, who represented the working class.
