In his cave near the Slippin' Falls, Brer Bear was filming himself with a movie camera.

"Howdy, world! In diss here sho't film, I's gonna show y'all how to get gum outta yo' fur" he said.

Little did he know, Jeremy Clyde was behind him playing a song on his guitar.

When he finished the film, Brer Bear showed it to Jeremy and Brer Rabbit at the Briar Patch.

"So whaddaya think?" said Brer Bear.

"I think the fact that you're wearing a silly little hat tells me you never did get the gum out" said Jeremy.

"It's a fashion statement" said Brer Bear.

"An' dat statement's I got a bald spot" said Brer Rabbit.

"Hey! You try cuttin' your own fur wit' hedge trimmers" said Brer Bear.

"Well, congratulations anyway, Brer Bear. The critics love your short film better than Brer Fox's short film about falling off a rock" said Jeremy.

"My dream of becomin' a famous hair stylist is comin' true. I's gonna take over de hair world like Madame Bouffant" said Brer Bear.

"Brer Bear, you too ugly ter be Madame Bouffant. An' did you actually read deez reviews? Days all about Brer Jeremy" said Brer Rabbit.

"Blimey! I'm surprised anyone could see me behind Brer Bear. He's so rotund" said Jeremy.

"A bunch o' critics is askin' where day can find mo' o' yo' music" said Brer Rabbit.

"Some o' deez reviews have to be about me. Read that one! It's from my grandma" said Brer Bear.

"Yo' grandma wrote, Brer Bear, stop talkin' 'bout yo' hair. Cuz dat English boy iz my cup o' tea!" said Brer Rabbit as he and Jeremy laughed at the review.
