[Myles's remarks are large, blue and in Italic brackets, like this.]

Originally aired Monday, May 8th 2000.

[Heckman's to blame for this one... the episode was indeed written on the infamous High Holy Day, and we took the crazy ideas we came up with under the influence and made all our wildest dreams come true.]

Introduction:

Our promotions head makes her on-air debut with a short and darling description of her previous night's dream.

Featuring: Ceci Mak

[I never told anybody this before, but the first person ever to utter the phrase that Ceci says here was my friend Tim Carroll from back home when asked about his dreams for the future. And I co-opted it. Ha ha ha.]

The writers brainstorm an exciting sketch about household pets and the space program.

FeaturingMyles Nye, Mike Pesses, Sean Hart, Sean Heckman, Thor Erickson, Roberta Brodsky, Rizwan Kassim

< Previous Clip Next Clip >

[Mike's last comments allude to a hilarious digression that didn't make it into the episode in which we speculate about Herbert Nasa, who invented NASA and named it after himself. "Have a looksee" is always funny.]

Doggies and Kitties in Space!:

A movie trailer for the up-coming feature film which combines the best elements of "Space Camp" and "Milo and Otis."

FeaturingMike's kittie, Rebecca's puppy, Myles Nye (voice)

[My girlfriend thinks this the funniest skitch in Mike and Ben's history. Space matte and alien landscape courtesy of Tim.]

Quelling the Rebellion:

After viewing the summer 1998 runaway art-house blockbuster "Small
Soldiers," Jessica decides to nip any potential toy rebellions in the bud.

Featuring: Jessica Moss

Next Clip >

[We were at Tim's apartment for the meeting, and my wandering eye landed on a videotape of "Small Soldiers"-- you know, the one that's like "Toy Story" only completely bad.. God only knows why they have this movie on tape, but this is what popped into my head.]

The Girl From Ipanema:

Part two of four. A girl seems to be dead on a toilet.

Featuring: Roberta Brodsky

< Previous Clip Next Clip >

4/20 Writers Meeting Sequence #3:

Ruminations on tennis racquets in love and the proposal of a skit for Rizwan's mom.

Featuring: Sean Hart, Sean Heckman, et al

< Previous Clip Next Clip >

General Manager Announcement:

UCLA TV's technical advisor pulls consonants out of a hat to find wacky alternative spellings for lesser countries, drinks a few sips of vodka, and just looks all around fabulous in a glamorous dress.

Featuring: Rizwan Kassim

[Originally, Rizwan was going to be wearing a dress and reading out loud from The Comic Toolbox, a book he ordered from Amazon.com to learn how to be funny. Thor had his own vision for the piece, however. Canada was only one of the countries that he re-named, but this episode ran really long. Or maybe it just seemed that way because of all the dope we smoked.]

Quelling the Rebellion Continued:

Jessica proceeds to put the rest of her toys in a clothes dryer.

Featuring: Jessica Moss

< Previous Clip

Young Man Finds a Bag of "Demon Weed" in a Vending Machine:

In the style of early 20th century silent nickelodeon films, a young man
discovers and purchases some ganja in a common vending machine.

Featuring: Tim Heiderich

[More proof that Tim doesn't need any friends, just his computer and a whole lot of nickels.]

4/20 Writers Meeting Sequence #4:

The writers continue their brainstorming, this time in regards to German
sock puppets, fertility, fudge and of course, vaginas.

FeaturingMyles Nye, Sean Hart, Tim Heiderich, Sean Heckman, et al

< Previous Clip Next Clip >

I Love My Vagina:

Our producer declares his love for his vagina in several public places around UCLA and he gives his vagina a chance to voice its feelings as well. His clitoris and a piece of foreign material also chime in.

FeaturingSean Heckman, Mike Pesses (voice), Myles Nye (voice), Sean Hart (voice)

[I have this nightmare that this show is going to have a revival in 20 years or so and I will be known solely as "the guy who was the voice of Sean Heckman's clitoris."]

4/20 Writers Meeting Sequence #5:

The writers make fun of nerds.

FeaturingSean Hart, Myles Nye, Tim Heiderich, Sean Heckman

< Previous Clip Next Clip >

[Tim seems awfully good at this. Hmmm.]

South Campus Humor:

An expose on the hilarious pranks and in-jokes of the campus's math and science experts.

FeaturingJoe Walcek, Sean Heckman, Ben Larson, Nelson Hung

[This piece was less like satire and more like documentary.]

The Girl From Ipanema:

Part three of four. A spirited Mike enters the washroom and stumbles upon a dead girl sitting on a toilet.  He worriedly thinks about what to do.

FeaturingRoberta Brodsky, Mike Pesses

< Previous Clip Next Clip >

4/20 Writers Meeting Sequence #6:

The gang thinks about the possible hilarity of a German sock puppet.

Featuring: Tim Heiderich, Thor Erickson, Myles Nye, et al

< Previous Clip Next Clip >

Kaiser Von Sök, Evil Genius:

A menacing sock puppet with a German accent and a World War I Kaiser hat tries to enroll at UCLA and meets some interesting characters along the way.

Featuring: Tim Heiderich (voice and wrist)

[What other TV show has the courage, I ask you? Upright Citizens' Brigade can go spin.]

Tap Dancing to the Sounds of Fecalphiliac Pornography:

Tap dancing to the sounds of fecalphiliac pornography. What were you expecting?

Featuring: Myles Nye (feet and voice), Jessica Moss (voice), Tim Heiderich (sound effects)

[The piece that drove Sean Hart's sister from the room. Early in the year, before I even really knew who he was, Price sent an E-mail to everybody with a video clip of some disgusting Swedish caca porno with this woman making these unearthly noises. We wanted to lift the audio track and use it in this piece, but we couldn't get the damn thing to work, so we dilligently cooked up our own. The world has never been the same.]


The Girl From Ipanema:

Part four of four. In the saga's bizarre conclusion, Mike opts not to dial 911, but rather to eat the dead girl's poop. Questions for discussion follow.

Featuring: Mike Pesses, Roberta Brodsky

< Previous Clip

[I think Mike clutching his temples is an excellent touch. The questions for discussion make the piece.]

4/20 Writers Meeting Sequence #7:

The most productive writers meeting ever winds down with lots of hugs and warm fuzzies, as is revealed all the writers were only pretending to be wasted. The only person who was actually under the influence was the producer.

FeaturingSean Heckman, Myles Nye, Rizwan Kassim, Sean Hart, et al

< Previous Clip

The Big Finish:

We re-visit Ceci from the beginning of the show and rejoice together as her dream comes true! With a nod to the somber tear-jerker "There's Something About Mary."

FeaturingCeci Mak, Myles Nye, Sean Heckman, Tim Heiderich, Roberta Brodsky, Jessica Moss, Mike Pesses, Jason Eason, Price Peterson

[This took forever, but by golly it was worth it. The same bag of 62 real Snickers bars, in two different sizes, plus digital enhancement courtesy of Rizwan, makes for a sugar-coated fantasy land that really satisfies you. Or maybe only me.]

Closing credits:

Strangely, this episode features no closing credits but rather an aggressive title card directing any complaints to Noah Bookman.

I don't really want to read the E-mails about this episode, but the devil says I have to.

Pass that thing and go back to the top
