Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Season Three of The Drew Carey Show begins as the titular hero (played, curiously enough, by Drew Carey) desperately tries to get into top physical condition in order to impress his boss Mr. Wick (Craig Ferguson). To this end, Drew agrees to sample a free weight-loss product called Vitabeer (yes, vitamins mixed with beer!), with the proviso that he pose as the "Before" in the company's before-and-after billboard ads. Unfortunately, the sight of a shirtless Drew looming over downtown Cleveland proves too humiliating to bear, leading to an elaborate slapstick climax involving Drew's buddies Oswald (Diedrich Bader) and Lewis (Ryan Stiles)--the latter having problems of his own with a (literally) swelled head.
