Featuring: Price Peterson, Joe Walcek, Roberta Brodsky, Tim Heiderich, Rizwan Kassim

Hosting sequence #3

Mike and Ben solicit opinions about women from other men, among them two guys who like tits and one incredibly pretentious guy who actually has the nerve to say his girlfriend is like "the other half of my soul."

Fashion Show

Ben is your host for this look at the glamorous apparel of the women (and a few men) found on campus every day. Armed with a boombox and cameras, Ben and his accomplices turn the promenade into a spontaneous fashion runway.

Featuring: Ben Larson, Sean Mount, Lawrence Givens, George Velasco, Ben Feller, Greg Snyder

Inconsequential Women of the 20th Century:

The third installment holds up a series of women for derision: Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Leanne Rimes, Mandy Moore, and Trica Yearwood. After getting confused as to which name goes with which picture, we learn whom these inconsequential women really wanted to be.

Featuring: Judy Ashouri, Leah Sprecher, * *, Jessica Moss, Roberta Brodsky

Hosting sequence #4:

Mike and Ben ask more men what they like about women. The sub-titles alert us that these men are aroused by little boys (specifically Elian Gonzales) and find cancer funny.

Inconsequential Women of the 20th Century:

The final episode of this piece scorns "Cathy" of comic strip fame for her fetal helplessness and immaturity.

Featuring: Tim Heiderich (voice)

Hosting sequence #5:

Mike and Ben, still at a loss for a tidy conclusion to the episode, intercept a real live woman on her way to the bathroom. She spells it out for them: "We're not better than the other, just different."

Closing credits

Mike reveals that the seemingly enlightened woman from the previous segment is in fact a man-hater. Ben reminds Mike that he's not funny.

 

I'd like to read the E-mails that the MB cast and crew was circulating at the time this episode was being made.

It's more fun on top.
