Show Breakdown

• Cell Phone Jerk: A guy driving in a convertible brags about how wealthy he is on his cell phone.
• Religious Arm Wrestling: The devil prepares to arm wrestle with a nun.
• Idol Seacrest: Ryan Seacrest signs off at the end of American Idol.
• Burglar Voyeur: A burglar scales the side of a building, but when he reaches a large window he comes face to face with a naked man staring at him.
• Senor Clean: A stay-at-home dad comments on how difficult it can be to raise a bunch of kids while his wife is at work. But, luckily, he has help from Senor Clean, the Mexican version of Mr. Clean, who cleans up the mud tracked in by the kids. He then sends the children off to see a movie while he insinuates that he's going to have sex with their father. The father tries to get out of it by saying his wife will be home soon, but Senor Clean cut her breaks.
• Baseball Seacrest: Ryan Seacrest swings at and misses a baseball. The umpire shouts, "Secrest, out!"
• Atomic Wedgie: A nerd gets a painful wedgie from a bully, the nerd can do nothing but look at the camera and shrug.
• Meteor!: In a take-off of Armageddon, a planet-killing meteor is heading towards Earth and the only way to save the world is to send astronauts into space and blow up the meteor with a bomb. But, because tax-payers don't want a raise in taxes, they're asked to call in to vote (at a steep charge of $40,000 per call) for who they want in space. Eventually, Harrison Ford is elected with a strung out Aerosmith—this causes a live action Adult Swim watcher sees Steven Tyler say he shot up heroin and franticly writes an angry letter to the network. Ford and the band fly into space, but they just wind up exploding on the surface of the meteor since none of them know how to land a spacecraft.
• Clown Accident: A clown car and a regular car get into a head-on collision, but when the owner of the regular car gets out and shoves the clown drive, a half-dozen other clowns get out of the car and dropkick him out of frame.
• Lettuce Head Kids: Chucky, the serial killer doll from the Child's Play films, evade the authorities by hiding in a lettuce patch. But, little does he know that the patch is occupied by the zombie-like Lettuce Head Kids. They steal his soul to empower the rest of their kind, throwing the world into a panic. Enter Buffy Summers, the one person fit to stop them. Sarah Michelle Gellar explains to a friend that's how Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight would have started, had she not quit.
• Boobies: An irate man shakes his computer angrily, shouting "give me the boobies!"
• Seacrest, Out!: Ryan Seacrest, wearing a dress, looks at himself in a mirror and declares, "Secrest, Out!"
• Winter Pet Games: A group of pet owners put their pets, including rabbits, dogs and cats, into the downhill skiing event of the Winter Pet Games. However, none of the animals do particularly well because most of them are taped to their skis against their will by their crazed owners.
• Behind the Music: Electric Mayhem: Electric Mayhem, the band featured on The Muppet Show is spotlighted on an episode of Behind the Music. Following their stint on the show, which came to a close when mob enforcers beat Kermit the Frog senseless, the band fell on hard times. Animal was put down when he attacked Ed McMahon on Star Search and Janice, who got hepatitis from sleeping with Tommy Lee. Dr. Teeth and Rolf gave piano lessons to kids, while Zoot disappeared after being caught in Tokyo with a great deal of hash.
