Binky Gets Cancelled! is an episode from the second season of Garfield and Friends.
Synopsis[]
Garfield explains how Binky the Clown, after being dismissed from WBOR, became a handyman.
Plot[]
Garfield is outside in a hammock sipping lemonade and sees the viewer. He asks if they know Binky the Clown which the viewer does not know at first until Garfield reminds them with the "HEY KIDS!!" routine. After the viewer remembers him, Garfield goes into a flashback on what happened to him recently.
3 weeks ago, Binky was the #1 Show on TV. That is until one day when the WBOR Manager brings him into his office and tells him that his ratings are down. He then cancels his show as a result and fires Binky, causing him to cry to the point of flooding the entire office with his tears; he knew there were not a lot of jobs for clowns. He tried to run for politics, which did not work since there were already enough clowns in Washington.
At Garfield's house, Garfield and Odie turn on the TV to find out that The Binky Show has been canceled and has been replaced with Bowling for Meatloaf. Without Binky, Garfield wonders where he would get a clown in his life and then remembers he has Jon. Jon meanwhile has tripped on a loose floorboard and complains the house is falling apart. He then hires a handyman to get the job done and before he leaves the house he tells Garfield to let him in.
Garfield is about to sleep and eat when the Handyman (who is actually Binky) arrives. Binky then gets to work on the house and he works so loud that Garfield could not sleep. By the time he is done, Garfield sees the whole house has been turned into a clown house. The flowers have been turned into gag flowers that squirt water and Binky even rigged the fridge that when Garfield opened it, a pie splatted on his face. When he was about to turn on the dishwasher, Binky stops him, telling him that it has been acting strange since he rewired it.
Jon has arrived home. Since he forgot his keys, he rings the doorbell, which plays a circus tune, much to his confusion. When Garfield opens the door, Jon sees the remodeled Clown House and faints. After getting up, he then angrily chases Binky around the house until the WBOR manager arrives. The manager says that Bowling for Meatloaf was unsuccessful and that he wants to rehire Binky, much to Binky's delight.
Once Binky got his job back, the manager promised to hire a real handyman to fix up the house and Jon decides to start the dishwasher. Then Garfield and Binky hear an explosion in the house and realized about the rewired dishwasher. The two race in the house to stop Jon only for the three of them to escape the house as it is filling up with soap suds.
The story forwards back to Garfield in the hammock and the real reason why he and Jon are outside relaxing. Jon from another hammock asks Binky how he is doing. Binky. who is still removing the suds from the house, says he still has a lot more to do. Garfield then concludes that every house can use a bath.
