Storyline

Part two and conclusion of two-episode story arc. In this particular episode, the Bundys' ocean cruise aboard the S.S. Sea Dodge takes a turn for the worse when their ship sinks, and they are stranded on a life raft in the middle of the ocean as with the D'Arcys, a fat woman, and comedian Gilbert Gottfried, who tries to "lighten the monotony" by endeavoring to entertain them all telling bad jokes!
