Strategic Hot Mess

Strategic Hot Mess is the eighth episode of the first season.

When Talking Angela throws a tantrum at her concert, she becomes an internet sensation... but not for her singing.

Tom and Angela go on a date and pretend to kiss.

Angela was getting ready for a concert, while Tom was preparing a booth to sell T-shirts. However, he finds out that Hank had used an entire bottle of bleach when washing them, erasing the design. Quickly thinking, Hank draws his own design of a hot dog on them.

The concert turns out to be a flop; barely anyone was attracted to Angela's concert. She gets mad that Hank drew hot dogs on the T-shirts, and flips over a table in rage. What they didn't know was that Ginger filmed her and posted the photos online.

The photos become viral. Angela was extremely offended that Ginger humiliated her, but changed her mind from the positive publicity that she got. She becomes #15 on the "Hot Celebrity List." She gladly hires Ginger as her new image consultant.

Ginger's first move to boost Angela's popularity was to set her up with Tom. They go to Jerry's and film a video. In the video, Tom and Angela date, but Angela breaks off the relationship and they throw food at each other, and Hank, disguised as a waiter, kicks them out for food fighting. This publicity stunt gets Angela to the #1 position on the hot celebrity list. Ginger then schedules a live stream concert later the same day.

Angela gets mad from the publicity, since she wanted to be known for singing, not for her outbursts. So, during the live stream, Angela tries her best, but in the end it flops and she completely falls off the celebrity list. Unfazed, Angela decides to continue with her music career and fires Ginger.
