Skeezer Pleezer is the second album by the American musical group UTFO, released in 1986 on Select Records.[1] Due to personal issues, Educated Rapper was absent from this album, except the track, "Pick Up the Pace." The most notable song was "Split Personality," a paean to dissociative identity disorder. The album was produced by Full Force.[2]

Robert Christgau praised the "cheerfully amoral anticrime versifying of 'Just Watch'."[4]
The Rolling Stone Album Guide opined that "the attempts at singing ... are flat-out disasters."[5] AllMusic noted that UTFO "were essentially already in stylistic retreat as the gimmick tag they picked up for the success of 'Roxanne, Roxanne' was proving difficult to shake."[3]
