The boys are assigned to interview
Vietnam War veteran s, and interview Stan's Uncle Jimbo and his friend Ned. The two tell a story of American camps havingamusement park rides and claim that they single-handedly defeated the entireViet Cong army. Mr. Garrison thinks they made the whole report up the night before and gives them an F-, and the boys plot revenge on Jimbo and Ned by making bogus videos of the legendary "Mexican StaringFrog of SouthernSri Lanka ", which Jimbo and Ned then air on their show, "Huntin' and Killin".The show becomes successful, leading to a decline in ratings for their competitors, including the
talk show "Jesus and Pals ," starring Jesus. Its producer decides to change the show's format to resemble the "trash TV " format, despite Jesus' lack of enthusiasm for the idea. Meanwhile, Jimbo and Ned go searching for the Staring Frog, which according to legend can kill with a glance. Ned sees the fake frog the boys set up and becomes comatose from pure fear. While visiting him in the hospital, the boys confess their misdeed. This leads to Jimbo, Ned (though still comatose), and the boys all appearing on "Jesus and Pals", arranged by the show's producer.Without Jesus' knowledge, the producer arranges for them to lie on the air to improve ratings, having Jimbo claim that Stan is a drug-addicted
Satan -worshiper, and having Stan claim that Jimbo molested him, etc. When chaos breaks out on the show, Jesus screams "Shut the fuck up!" at everybody and discovers the truth about everything; he patches everything up with Jimbo, Ned and the boys, and as punishment to his producer, sends her toHell . There, she meets Satan and with him,Saddam Hussein .External links
