In "The Incredible Bulk," the seventh episode of the second season of Goof Troop, Goofy and his son Max encounter some unexpected difficulties while trying to enjoy a father-son bonding day. When they visit a nearby gym to hit the weight room together, they get roped into a bodybuilding competition by the gym's egotistical owner, Jocko. Goofy is hesitant at first, but Max's enthusiasm wins him over, and soon they're both pumping iron and flexing for the judges.
Things start to go awry, however, when Goofy accidentally ingests a mysterious health supplement that Jocko offers him. The supplement turns out to have some unexpected side effects, causing Goofy to rapidly grow in size and strength until he becomes a hulking monster. At first, Goofy thinks it's kind of fun to be able to bench press cars and jump over buildings, but soon he realizes that his new form is causing chaos and destruction all over town.
Max tries to help his dad, but he's not sure how to reverse the effects of the supplement. Together, they search for a solution while trying to avoid the angry townspeople who are after the rampaging giant. Meanwhile, Jocko is thrilled to have created the ultimate bodybuilding specimen, and he sets out to capture Goofy and use him for his own purposes.
As the situation escalates, Max has to come up with a plan to help his dad regain his normal size and get out of harm's way. Along the way, they learn important lessons about the dangers of quick-fix solutions, the importance of self-acceptance, and the true meaning of strength.
Overall, "The Incredible Bulk" is a hilarious and heartwarming episode that showcases the lovable goofiness of Goofy and his son. It's a fun exploration of the bodybuilding culture and the pressures to conform to societal standards of beauty and strength. And, as always, it's a great reminder that family relationships are the most important thing of all.
