Plot Overview

Sketches

• Watching Chase Open: Bob and David try to start the show, but the live car chase on TV is far too engrossing. (Link: Bob and David invite everyone to just watch what's on TV.)
• Popemobile Chase/News: The Pope, a suspect in the murder of a Bishop, leads police on a chase on the news. The anchors interview a pope expert who finds leaving the set difficult. (Link: Nil and his friends watch and argue about the Popemobile chase in their car, and Nil gets thrown out of the car right in front of his guitar school.)
• Nil's Guitar Shop: A guitar teacher compliments his hapless student in direct proportion to how soon he will die from a confusing disease. (Link: Larry lives on, finding success because he is ever on the brink of death.)
• Imminent Death Syndrome: A doctor explains IDS, a disease that causes the victims to be treated very well and given every advantage for their entire lives. (Link: Larry finally dies, so the Doctor goes to watch the Pope's trial.)
• Trial of the Millennium: A news update on the Pope's trial, where the Pope tries on a ring found at the crime scene and a staff manufacturer is questioned. (Link: The sequestered Jury is allowed to see a performance artist.)
• Spank: A performance artist tries to deface the American flag but fails, so he takes the flag to court. A flag expert takes the Expert Truck to the courtroom. (Link: The flag expert provides magic pills to explain how the founding fathers conceived of the American flag's design.)
• Founding Fathers: The founding fathers (and Lincoln) meet to design a shit-proof flag. (Link: Droopy explains to a museum employee how Lincoln helped design the American flag.)
• Museum: Droopy applies for a job at the Museum of History and thanks to having Imminent Death Syndrome, he gets it. (Link: Droopy loses interest in work and watches TV instead.)
• Watching Murder Close: Bob and David watch themselves get murdered on TV.
