The Bing That Wouldn't Leave is the first half of the 12th episode of season 1. In this episode, Norb and Dag meet a new friend who becomes an annoying stalker.

Episode Summary[]

Dag gathers different pieces of wood in the forest. As he gathers a roll of birch bark, he is surprised by a small green tree lizard and becomes trapped inside the roll of bark. The tree lizard frees Dag from the bark and introduces himself as Bing. He expresses his admiration of beavers to Dag and asks to hang out, to which Dag agrees. Back at the dam, Bing and Dag race around the living room, greatly annoying Norb as he tries to build a toothpick sculpture of a redwood tree. Though the sculpture soon collapses, Bing rebuilds it even larger, earning Norb's admiration. The two beavers happily celebrate their new friend, wishing that they could stay friends forever.

Three days later, Bing still hasn't left, and Norb and Dag have grown sick of him. Dag tries to ditch Bing by asking him to get more Yahoo and locking the doors after he leaves. Bing, however, manages to come back inside, having copied their house keys. Norb then tries to get rid of Bing by blindfolding him and leading him across the world to an underground cave. Though the two beavers leave Bing there, he still manages to beat them both back home. Finally, they decide to try and find someone else for Bing to cling to.

Norb and Dag throw a huge party, inviting all the animals in the forest. When they bring out Bing to introduce him to everyone, the animals all scream and run away. A dejected Bing tells the beavers that this isn't his first "pass-the-Bing party" and leaves, promising not to bother them again. Norb and Dag stop him and apologize for how they treated him, telling him that they do want to be friends with him, just not 24 hours a day. They tell him goodbye and begin to head upstairs; however, as Bing continues to annoy them, Norb and Dag grab him and tie him to a tree, leaving him there.

Trivia[]

  • Debut of Bing.
  • The scene where Daggett says "Get it? Bing-Go. I still got it." to his joke about Bing was a reference to a scene from "Guess Who's Stumping to Dinner?" where he makes a joke about him sending Stump to the South Pole and him saying "Sometimes I crack myself up."
  • Bing meets Norbert and Daggett in this episode, even though it takes place two months after before the episode “Beaver Fever”; an episode that aired after this one and also had Bing appear.
    • The explanation for this is that the Beavers simply didn’t acknowledge that Bing was in the crowd since they were too busy singing and also Bing was already somewhat aware of Daggett’s existence in this episode.
  • In real life, Green Anole lizards such as Bing can in fact regrow their tails after they detach.[1]

Allusions[]

  • Saturday Night Live - The episode title is a reference to a Saturday Night Live sketch called "The Thing That Wouldn't Leave", where an obnoxious house guest (John Belushi) was oblivious to the numerous hints being dropped by the homeowners that he should leave. That sketch and this episode are also references to classic horror movies of the 1950s and 1960s.
  • The Nutcracker - A piece from "Arabian Dance" is heard as the beavers take Bing across the world in order to get rid of him.
