Powdered Toast Man is on a mission to save the world. Ren and Stimpy run out of powdered toast and PTM helps them. Featuring Frank Zappa as the voice of the Pope.
[edit] Trivia
- The final scene where Powdered Toast Man is burning the U.S. Constitution and the Bill Of Rights was edited from future Nickelodeon broadcasts due to the controversial nature of the ending, but was reinstated for Spike TV airings and the series' DVD release.
- The "toatometron communicator" scene almost never made it in the episode.
- John K. was a fan of Frank Zappa, and Frank Zappa was a fan of Ren and Stimpy. And John asked Frank to Be in a Ren and Stimpy cartoon, and Frank always wanted to be the pope, so he did it. Also, as Frank Zappa did his voice, after Powdered Toastman said, "Cling tenaciously to my buttocks!", he added the line, "Both of them?".
- Ren and Stimpy only have one line, and they both say it together. "We're all out of powdered toast!"
- Probrobly the only episode in which Bill Wray does storyboard, not backround color design.
