Plot
Tom, Angela, Ben and Ginger were eating cake, when Hank bursts through the door. They realize it was Hank's birthday. Every year, Hank would ask his friends to film their own episode of Bongo & McGillicuddy, and every year, they would say no. They were about to do the same this year, but they felt guilty, and agreed.

Angela played the police chief, Ben played McGillicuddy the orangutan, and Tom and Ginger auditioned for the part of Bongo. In the end, Tom got the part and Ginger became the director's assistant.

They soon realized, however, that Hank was going to take it way too seriously. Hank barked at Ginger to get him coffee, only to spit it out, complaining that the coffee tasted like coffee. Additionally, he yelled at Ginger over a missing stapler prop, and screamed at Ben for making a subtle mistake with his lines.

Eventually, Hank just gave up on the project, despite his friends' best efforts. He watches an episode of his favorite show, and in the episode, Bongo realizes he made a mistake and had to make it right. Hank learns from the episode and decides to apologize to his friends for treating them poorly.

They accept his apology, and Hank tries to get a piece of his birthday cake from the fridge, only to find Ginger in the fridge, eating the last piece.
