List of skits

Bush Message

anta Crash

Santa Claus crashing down through chimney.

Public Service Announcement

Rachael Leigh Cook's "This is Your Brain on Drugs" public service announcement with a much different ending. Not only are the effects of drugs taking to a more dramatic extreme, Cook ends up plummeting from a high ledge and dying horribly.

Teletubby smoking

A Teletubby with an erect penis on his head is shown smoking.

Cancer Pt. 1

An episode of "Transformers" in which Optimus Prime has prostate cancer.Optimus has to use the restroom frequently, and sees blood in his urine. Dr. Ratchet diagnoses the cancer, and Optimus finally dies in the hospital, transforming into his own casket. The episode turns out to be a dramatization and ends with a public service announcement by Optimus (who is still alive).

"One Sided Fistfights"

Coming soon, a new reality television series "The World's Most One-sided Fistfights Caught on Film!"

Wizard of Oz

A clip of "Oz" with Scarecrow from "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". The scarecrow is "disemboweled" by a shank used by another inmate.

Cancer Part 2

Continuation of the "Transformers" skit with The Human Torch in a doctor's office complaining that "It burns when I pee", followed by Optimus Prime saying, "What did I just tell you?!".

X-span Request Live

A cross between "Total Request Live" and C-SPAN.

I'm so hungry

"I'm So Hungry" joke goes very badly.

Bloopers!

The TV show Bloopers taken to a new level!

Various 'actors' are shown in 'outtakes', such as William Shatner being hit in the testicles.

At the end, the host hangs himself.

Trivia

*Some of the Autobots (Bumblebee, Ironhide, Ratchet, and Arcee) were built specifically for the Transformers segment using modified parts to make them look more "realistic." A modified RobotMasters Optimus Prime was used to portray Ironhide.

*Seth Green said on the DVD commentary for the Transformers segment that he attempted to get Peter Cullen (Prime's original voice actor) to do Prime, but he heard he took the role very seriously and declined.

*When Rachael was on top of the building she says, any questions, the 3 people down below shook their heads. The girl behind the 2 guys was the same girl in the cross between Total Request Live and C-SPAN.
