Rocky walked out onto a stage in the middle of Toon Lagoon, the crowds roaring in excitement. He took the microphone and cleared his throat.
"And now, live from Universal Studios Orlando, here to regale you theme-park fanatics with his knowledge, it's MISTER KNOW IT ALL!!" Rocky exclaimed as the audience behind him cheered.
"Hello there fanantics," Bullwinkle smiled while leaning on the "Mister Know-It-All" sign. "Today's lesson is...how to be a theme park costumed character, and avoid mascot-tastrophe!"
Bullwinkle now stood in front of the entrance to Universal Orlando, giving a sigh at the entrance's sheer beauty.
"Ah, Universal Studios Orlando, home to many different cartoon characters, such as Woody Woodpecker, Popeye, Betty Boop, Gru, Spongebob, Patrick Star, Beetle Bailey, and more importantly, ME AND ROCKY!" Bullwinkle gleefully smiled, putting on a Wossamotta U sweater. "Now being a mascot doesn't mean just wearin' a costume in hot weather and dancin' like a monkey for the kids, no! You gotta commit to being a mascot, you've gotta know your character! You've gotta...BE the character!"
"Well how would I do that, mister Know-It-All?" Rocky asked.
"A-HA! I thought you'd never ask...this is where it gets...fun." Bullwinkle placed a tape of the original "Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" cartoon into a VCR. "Now in order to properly study a cartoon character and get into character, you have to watch their cartoons! Observe closely as to how they act, their mannerisms...but not their tone of speaking, however. Mascots have not exactly been told to talk with any guests, but in this case, let's make an exception!"
Bullwinkle was now running on a treadmill in an 80's-looking exercise outfit.
"It's..(huff) important to be in top phys-e-cal condition to be a mascot. You've got to get plenty of exercise, drink water, and eat right—cause those fake heads can get pretty heavy!" Bullwinkle spoke while running on the treadmill.
"I dunno, your head looks pretty empty." Rocky replied.
"Yes, well that's besides the point!" Bullwinkle replied, rubbing the sweat off his face with a towel. "After those long hours of rehearsal, they'll call you up to go walk in the park and meet the tourists, as well as take pictures with them..."
Bullwinkle started walking around the theme park next to Rocky, until they came across Dudley Do-Right, looking rather worse for wear.
"But bein' a mascot isn't all peaches and cream. Some people just don't appreciate the work we do. It's just plain unfortunate. Take Dudley Do-Right over here for instance." Bullwinkle stopped walking and turned to see the poor Mountie. "How's it goin', Dud?" Bullwinkle called.
"Nnot good..." Do-Right responded. "Some ungrateful teenagers beat me up and said my chin looks like a...butt."
"WHAT?!" Bullwinkle gasped. "That's ludacrisp! It does not! You should probably take the rest of the day off, Dudley. Go to the nurse's station, I'll put in a good word with the bossman for ya and tell him about those young people."
"Thank you ever so much, Bullwinkle—" Do-Right replied, walking inside the "Toons Only" break room.
"But th' most important part of bein' a mascot at this fine theme park," Bullwinkle opened his arms, hundreds of kids latched onto him, hugging and giving him kisses. "Is makin' th' kiddies smile."
"Mista' Bullwinkle!" A small child in a striped shirt with shorts and tennis shoes hops in front of the moose. "I wanna be just wike you when I grow up."
"Aw, that's mighty sweet, ki—" Bullwinkle started, when he was interrupted.
"—ONE SIDE, JU LEETLE COCKTAIL WEENIES!" Boris exclaimed, pulling Natasha by the hand as well as shoving kids out of his path. He was wearing a t-shirt with Bullwinkle's face, and the text "Numba 1 Fan" below it in red marker. "Ello' meester Winkle, I have come for de autograph and picture, see?!"
"And not only must you make the kids smile, but also the cartoon-obsessed nostalgia-blind adult tourists as well." Bullwinkle spoke to the audience, while taking a picture with Boris and signing an autograph for him.
"EY!" Boris exclaimed. "I yam NOT obsessed! Now can ju sign my Rocky and Bullwinkle Funko POP!️(TM) so I can brag on de sociable media?" Boris gleefully held out said figurines of Rocky and Bullwinkle.
"Well, thank you very much Mister Know-It-All..." Rocky replied.
Boris was still making Bullwinkle sign all his Rocky and Bullwinkle memorabilia.
"—And don't forget sign Rocky and Bullwinkle box of breakfast cereal, and Rocky and Bullwinkle stationery, and Rocky and Bullwinkle brand radiator, and—"
