Summer jobs are a rather traditional staple of teenage life -- lifeguard, waiter and intern -- but working as the Amazing Zoltar (inspired by the Tom Hanks classic "Big") at a used toy store?

Now that's something you don't come across every day. But Dan Fogler, who plays scene-stealing Barry in the new '80s-flavored comedy "Take Me Home Tonight," had the honor of taking on this, er, once-in-a-lifetime role. "I am the amazing Zoltar!" Fogler recalls exclaiming in the upcoming episode of "When I Was 17". "Selling discounted toys!" he says in his best Borat accent.

But Fogler's adolescent stint as the costumed fortuneteller wasn't without its sacrifices. "I think I shared the outfit with at least 10 different grown men," the actor admits. "I don't think they ever washed it."

Fogler's solution to masking the suit's putrid scent? Febreeze, of course. "Here, put on your Zoltar suit, Dan. And here's the Febreeze," says Fogler, impersonating his former boss. "[I'd say], 'What's this for? Oh my God!' Then you basically just pour that crap all over."

"Yeah, [the costume] was ripe," Dan's friend Johnny agrees.

But when customers came to the store, Fogler made sure to clarify that the odor emanating from his grubby Zoltar costume didn't belong to him. "The kids would be like, 'Yay, Zoltar! " Then they would smell him and say, 'Oh, God!,' " Fogler remembers. "I'd be like, 'Zoltar normally smells fine!' "

Becoming Zoltar must have somehow paid off though: Fogler's new film, co-starring Anna Farris and Topher Grace -- both of whom also share their stories on Saturday's episode airing at 11 a.m. ET. -- hits theaters on March 4.

Don't miss when Dan's "Take Me Home Tonight" co-stars Topher Grace and Anna Faris dish on their adolescent occupations in the newest episode of "When I Was 17," premiering Saturday at 11 a.m. ET on MTV.
