Clarence is a colorful and fun-loving animated series that follows the adventures of a young boy named Clarence and his close friends Jeff and Sumo. This episode, titled "Too Gross for Comfort," is the 24th episode from the first season of the show.

The episode starts with Clarence, Jeff, and Sumo enjoying their summer break at the local pool. As they splash around, they notice a foul odor that seems to be coming from the water. Clarence, being the curious and adventurous kid that he is, decides to investigate the source of the stench.

After some sleuthing, they discover that the pool's filtration system is broken and in need of repair. In the meantime, the pool attendants decide to use a new, all-natural filtration system made of compost to keep the water clean.

However, this new system soon becomes the source of the episode's main conflict. The compost creates a breeding ground for maggots, which begin to infest the pool. The sight of the wriggling, writhing maggots causes terror among the pool-goers, causing them to flee in droves.

Clarence, Jeff, and Sumo are fascinated by the maggots, and decide to keep some as pets. They take the maggots back to Clarence's house and feed them bits of rotting food. The maggots quickly grow and multiply, and before long, they take over Clarence's entire house.

The maggots prove to be too much for Clarence's mother, who enlists the help of a professional exterminator to get rid of them. The exterminator attempts to dispose of the maggots using toxic chemicals, but Clarence and his friends are hesitant to let go of their beloved pets.

The conflict comes to a head when Clarence and his friends attempt to save the maggots and take them to a new home. In the process, they accidentally free the maggots into the neighborhood, causing chaos and disgust among the inhabitants.

Throughout the episode, there are plenty of laughs to be had. The dialogue is witty and well-written, and the show's bright, bold animation style adds to the overall fun and lighthearted feel of the episode.

Overall, "Too Gross for Comfort" is a hilarious and entertaining episode of Clarence that showcases the show's unique blend of humor and heart. It's a perfect example of what makes the show such a hit with kids and adults alike.
