Osomatsu-kun season 1 episode 11 entitled "Episode 11" features the six mischievous sextuplets in yet another comedic adventure. The episode opens with Osomatsu confronting his brothers about their lack of motivation to do anything productive and succeed in life. He proposes that they all take a part-time job to earn some money and learn the value of hard work. Karamatsu takes up Osomatsu's proposition and secures a job in a TV shopping network.
Karamatsu's first day at work didn't go smoothly as he had anticipated. He was given the task of selling a weight loss supplement but didn't know how to go about it. Frustrated and feeling like a failure, he decides to quit. Osomatsu, who happens to stop by his workplace, notices his brother's dilemma and takes advantage of the situation to make some cash. He appreciates the opportunity and takes his brothers along, who all get hired.
The episode then transitions to the sextuplets not taking their jobs seriously and giving poor performances. When it was Osomatsu's turn to sell a vacuum cleaner, he messes up, causing the audience to turn against him. The manager is disappointed in their performance and warns them about the consequences of not doing their job right.
The sextuplets decide to have a meeting to strategize on how to improve their performance. They disagree on several things, including who should take the lead and come up with the best sales pitch. Karamatsu suggests a competition, where each brother should try and outdo the other. The winner would be the one with the highest sales at the end of the day.
The competition is on, and each sextuplet tries to sell different household items. Jyushimatsu attempts to sell a meat slicer but turns into a butcher, scaring off shoppers. Todomatsu tries to promote a grill pan, but nobody buys it because he presents it as a tiny frying pan. Choromatsu promotes a massaging salon cushion but ends up embarrassing himself.
The remaining triplet, Ichimatsu, is next up, and he promotes a hand lotion. His sales pitch is ordinary, and he looks disinterested, but somehow, people start buying the product and praise him for it. The show ends with Ichimatsu declared the winner of the competition, and his brothers left shocked.
