Babatunde creates a drug-dealing otter

While reading the task brief, Babatunde asks “Who the hell is Alex?”, and then explains that he’d thought maybe it was a cartoon character.

Babatunde’s sidekick takes the form of a sock puppet otter named ‘Man Like Tyrone’. He and Alex begin to present a lesson on the importance of saying no to drugs, starting with a joke by Man Like Tyrone: “Why did Humpty Dumpty fall off the wall? Because he was a crackhead!”.

Man Like Tyrone then warns children not to get high because they could “lose everything”. When Alex asks him what they should do instead, Man Like Tyrone says that they should sell the drugs, pointing out that “You can make a lot more money selling instead of using.”, and reminding Alex that he always says “Don’t get high on your own supply”.

Despite the inappropriate nature of Man Like Tyrone’s message to children, Greg has to admit that he is very charming. Alex shares that Man Like Tyrone had quite a backstory, including the facts that he was from Brixton, aged 34, and a Pisces.

Greg ultimately decides to award Babatunde 5 points, based on the fact that he’d prefer to go to Brixton and hang out with the otter, rather than hang out with Jack’s horse.
