It was always typical for Electric Company to reuse "catch phrases" such as "It's the plumber--I've come to fix the sink." Others that come to mind are "That's not the note" and "Who's the dummy writing this show." This is such a clever way to illustrate the double-letter rule where the vowel sound before the doubled letter changes.

@Zoloft77 The plumber is Louis Avalos.

@SeeSamSit Yeah, I think that was a little in-joke for the plumber to say.

And a lot of others, particularly the one where he's bathing in a casket. It is uploaded on YouTube.

At the end, the plumber is definitely Stavi from the film, The Ringer.
