Plot

Haggis MacHaggis lives in his Scottish Gothic castle in the Highlands of Scotland with his moronic Swedish servant Myron. [1] Haggis is ashamed to be bald and wants hair again. [1] Haggis discovers a leprechaun who promises to give Haggis hair on his head again, but only if Haggis passes three tests of self-control, generosity, and courage. [1] Haggis successively fails all three tests due to his anger, greed and cowardice. [1] The leprechaun gives Haggis a malformed head of hair anyhow, and Haggis happily runs off into the sunset where he explodes. [1]

Cast

Production

The episode was a pilot episode for a spin-off series starring Haggis and Ren and Stimpy did not appear in the story as way to test the appeal to audiences of a story that only featured Haggis. [2] Chris Reccardi who created the character of Haggis directed the episode. [2] The American critic Thad Komorowski wrote that Reccardi was talented at stylized designs, but not at comedy. [2] The episode was illustrated by the Rough Draft Korea studio in Seoul. [1] The scene where Haggis tosses aside a clam rather give him a quarter out of greed was censored by the network. [1]

Reception

Komorowski rated the episode three stars out of five, writing that the story was "amusing". [3]
