[edit] Plot

Buck spends a lot of time at his favorite strip club, and ends up banned. Soon, he becomes depressed as he dislikes his job and always likes to have fun. He finds an ice cream place called Frozen Cow where the employees are happy and appear to enjoy their job. He continues to stay there until he decides to make Strickland Propane a "fun" place to work. Soon, the employees are having trouble trying to have fun, such as saying catchphrases and dressing up, and even having a sleepover at the workplace. Hank eventually convinces Buck to go to Frozen Cow, where he states that he wanted to apologize to the strip club owner in the first place, and finds the owner hiding and accepts his indirect apology, allowing him back into the club and setting everything back to normal.
