Summary[]

Tommy and Chuckie take a trip to Boris and Minka's (Tommy and Dil's maternal grandparents) cabin in the woods which has no indoor plumbing or heating. This makes Tommy think they are in "The Old Country". When Stu says there's nothing to keep out the elements, Tommy and Chuckie think he said "elephants", and fear that the cabin will be trampled. Will Tommy and Chuckie's plan to put peanut butter around the cabin to prevent the elephants from stomping on everyone work? Meanwhile, Chas goes off to explore his inner caveman. - Description from Klasky Csupo

Plot[]

The Pickles plan to spend the weekend at Boris and Minka's rented cabin in the woods. The cabin lacks any modern conveniences, such as indoor plumbing. However, when they mentioned that they're going there to help protect the cabin from the elements, Tommy and Chuckie thought that they're going to the fabled "Old Country" to protect the cabin from the "elephants". Meanwhile, Chas goes out into the woods to find his inner caveman.

Trivia[]

  • Like its previous episode, "The Jungle", this episode also ends with the babies screaming.
  • The portrait of younger Boris and Mika parodies Grant Wood's American Gothic.
  • In recent days, the correct pronunciation of "Neanderthal" is "Neander-TALL", without pronouncing the "h".
