Did you ever have a craving for a pizza?

Well, Bitzer and all the sheep have one in this episode, after they watch the farmer down a slice. Oh, man, their stomachs are rumbling; they have to have a pizza! How do they go about getting some? Well, Shaun and the group devise a plan, and it's a funny one. They take the long coat off the scarecrow, and pretend to be a human being. That part is very funny.

Even better is their adventure on the bus into town and then at the pizza place ordering the pizzas. You have to see it to believe it - outrageous comedy.

There are tons of funny sight gags, too many to mention or spoil by mentioning - just catch this episode; you'll be glad you did because it is one of the funnier ones.

This is easily the most impressive, incredible episode of this beautiful TV show. The writers ability to mirror such a common human feeling and the sadness involved with seeing someone else digest a pizza is just like nothing else.

Undoubtedly, the sheep are shown as characters with increasing power through the episode. This is first conveyed by the writer at the start when the sheep are looking with such envy at the farmer eating the pizza showing that they feel they are powerless. However as the episode goes on their power increases as the sheep are unphased by the usually ruling stereotype of the old lady hitting them with her bag. They finally magnify their power to the peak when they bypass the payment and buy 9 pizzas with just a frog. The writer undoubtedly shows their power like this to give the audience a feeling of satisfaction as the underdogs as such complete their goals.
