Ep 7. Self Defence

Mr. D season 3 episode 7, titled "Self Defence," follows the adventures of Gerry Duncan, a high school teacher who thinks he is cooler than he actually is. The episode revolves around Gerry attempting to teach his students self-defence in anticipation of a school trip. However, things don't go as planned when he realizes he has no actual training or knowledge in the subject.

The episode begins with Gerry's class preparing for their school trip to a nearby wildlife preserve. Gerry seems excited about the trip and wants to make sure his students are prepared for anything they might encounter. He decides to teach them basic self-defence so that they'll know how to protect themselves in case of an emergency. He envisions himself as a martial arts master and spends much of the episode trying to impress his students with his knowledge and skills.

However, as soon as the students start asking questions and actually start to practice the self-defence moves, Gerry realizes that he has no idea what he's doing. He begins to panic and tries to bluff his way through the class, making up moves and terminology as he goes. The students quickly catch on to the fact that he has no idea what he's doing, and they lose respect for him.

Throughout the episode, Gerry tries to salvage the situation by hiring a bodyguard and even attempting to learn self-defence from a YouTube tutorial. However, nothing seems to work, and his students continue to mock him. Things come to a head when a real-life emergency occurs at the wildlife preserve, and Gerry realizes that he has led his students into a dangerous situation with no actual skills or knowledge to protect them.

The episode is filled with the typical hilarity and absurdity that characterizes the Mr. D series. Gerry's attempts to impress his students and maintain his reputation as a "cool" teacher are both ridiculous and endearing. At the same time, the episode touches on a serious issue – the importance of actually being prepared and knowledgeable when it comes to self-defence.

Overall, Mr. D season 3 episode 7 is a hilarious and entertaining episode that highlights the ridiculousness of Gerry's attempts to teach self-defence while also providing some important lessons about the importance of actual skill and knowledge in emergency situations.
