    Chicken Scratch was bad... Through out the begining he's wearing his underwear and yet Dee Dee shows up and that's an emberassment and this really wasn't that funny but it is. Second , this really didn't have anything to do with an invention but preventing an avoidance to his Pox which he is turned into one at the end of the episode which this is still 2.0 out of 10.0 which is all I have to say.moreless

    • Dee Dee: Dexter, is that you? What happened? Dexter: I scratched. Edit
    • DeeDee: Well, a long time ago a group of evil contaminated chickens escaped from jail and started to break into children's houses, where they pecked away, leaving huge, itchy pimples. And if you scratch them, you'll turn into an evil contaminated chicken. Dexter: Are you crazy, woman?! (starts scratching) DeeDee: (uttering) Bock! Bock! Dexter: (screams) Ahhh! I don't want to be an evil contaminated chicken. DeeDee: Then don't scratch! (leaves room) Edit
