Episode 166 - A Christmas Carol (1951)

Down below, we see a group of ants carrying a boulder up an

incline. One worker ants slips, and the boulder rolls down,

crushing his leg. The other ants rush over -- it looks like

they're going to help their fallen comrade, but instead, they

climb right over him, and pick up the boulder, continuing

with their task.

MOTIVATIONAL COUNSELLOR

You see? Being an ant is being able

to say, "Hey -- I'm meaningless,

you're meaningless."

Z

But -- but I've always felt life was

about finding meaning...and then

sharing it with someone special,

someone you love.

The motivational counsellor puts his arm on Z's shoulder...he

seems to understand...

Episode 165 - The Muppet Christmas Carol (with Megs from Pluto)

MOTIVATIONAL COUNSELLOR

(incredibly "up")

Z, we're part of the fastest growing

species in the whole world!

The counsellor rolls down a chart from the wall. An arrow

shows ant population going up, up, up.

MOTIVATIONAL COUNSELLOR

Ask me why we're so successful.

Z

Why are we so successful?

MOTIVATIONAL COUNSELLOR

I'm glad you asked me that question!

The motivational counsellor opens some blinds...and we see a

vista of the ant-filled chamber below.

MOTIVATIONAL COUNSELLOR

What do you see out there?

Z

...Ants...

MOTIVATIONAL COUNSELLOR

Right! Ants! Millions of creatures,

each with his assigned task, all

pulling together!

Episode 164 - Disney's A Christmas Carol

MOTIVATIONAL COUNSELLOR

(enthusiastic)

Terrific! You should feel

insignificant!

For the first time, we see the ant MOTIVATIONAL COUNSELLOR.

He's a mixture of Tony Robbins and Ron Popiel (the

hyperactive late-night TV huckster, and founder of "Ronco").

Z

...I should?

MOTIVATIONAL COUNSELLOR

(hopping around

enthusiastically)

YES!!! You know, people ask me,

"Doctor, why are you always happy?"

And I tell them it's mind over

matter. I don't mind that I don't

matter! Do you get it? Do you get

it?

Z gives a fake smile.

Episode 162 - Mickey's Christmas Carol

INT. MOTIVATIONAL COUNSELLOR'S OFFICE - DAY

     We join Z, a worker ant with issues.  He's lying on a couch,
     recounting his woes.

                         Z
               I feel...isolated.  Different.  I've
               got abandonment issues.  My father
               flew away when I was just a larva.
               My mother didn't have much time for
               me...when you have five million
               siblings, it's difficult to get
               attention.
                      (pause)
               I feel physically inadequate -- I've
               never been able to lift more than ten
               times my own weight.  Sometimes I
               think I'm just not cut out to be a
               worker.  But I don't have any other
               options.  I was assigned to trade
               school when I was just a grub.  The
               whole system just...makes me
               feel...insignificant.
