Ego-a-Go-Go

S1 E20: Norman Durfner, a teenage nervous wreck, is known as "Durf the Drag" to his female classmates. To build up his self-esteem, Gidget dates him for the Spinsters Hop. Then she discovers that Russ is helping Chuck Batson, a gorgeous six-foot-three, to master grammar so he'll be eligible to quarterback the college team. Gidget's interest in Durf's ego drops rapidly as she schemes to get Chuck to take her to the Hop. After John tells Gidget that one positive experience will not do much for Durf, she decides to break her date with him. Meanwhile, responding to Gidget's interest, the new Durf has become the idol of the co-eds. Feeling Gidget has become too serious, and aware of his new status, Durf breaks their date himself. Russ cleverly arouses Chuck's interest in grammar by having him construct sentences about himself. Overhearing Chuck, Durf tells Gidget he never heard anyone so conceited. When it dawns on Durf that he must sound like Chuck to Gidget, he invites her to the Hop. Later, after a discussion with Russ, Gidget concludes that despite their many differences, boys have one thing in common with girls -- their ego.
