Delivery Skit: Aesop's Fables That are Actually Terrifying (Sub) / Truly Terrifying Aesop's Fables (Dub) is the starting skit for episode 2 of Osomatsu-san.
Choromatsu and Jyushimatsu parody Aesop's Fables, but with a disturbing twist.
In the home video releases, it is the episode and skit that starts off the series, due to the removal of the previous episode, Osomatsu-kun Returns!. Even so, it is still labelled as "episode 2" to pay homage to the missing episode before it. This is not the case in the Viz Media dub, however, where it is rebranded as episode 1 to avoid confusion.

Plot[]
The episode starts off with Todomatsu and Karamatsu at a fishing place. Todomatsu asks his brother why he always attempts to act cool and Karamatsu responds that he's just being normal. Todomatsu opposes, questioning why Karamatsu would wear embarrassing, flashy pants to a fishing place, then reminds him that Choromatsu wanted them to look for a job. Karamatsu responds that he has no plans to work, taking off his sunglasses, and throwing them in the water below.
When Todomatsu asks why he did threw away his glasses, Karamatsu responds that he can't catch any fish. Todomatsu then wonders what bait he's using, and Karamatsu shows him that he's using a love letter, claiming that he fell in love with a fish. After a brief moment of horror, Todomatsu admits that he doesn't want to work either.
Suddenly, Choromatsu and Jyushimatsu appear out of the water announcing their delivery skit of Aesop's Fables. The skit starts off with Jyushimatsu fishing. He hooks something but in an attempt to reel it in, he accidentally drops his fishing rod into the water. Next, Choromatsu, dressed in a toga, pops out of the water where Jyushimatsu lost his pole, and presents Jyushimatsu with two asura statues. He asks Jyushimatsu if either of the figures were dropped by him, and Jyushimatsu responds that they aren't his. Choromatsu then praises him for being honest and rewards him with a Shonosuke Hijirisawa statue. Jyushimatsu becomes overjoyed and hugs the statue, whilst Choromatsu stares back at the others and asks: "Isn't that scary?"
