[edit] Sketches
The show typically begins with a Nose Picker sketch, in which a girl pulls out an object from her nose. From then on, several sketches (typically one of each type of sketch) are then played out to fill the remainder of the show, culminating with the June Spume and Melville sketch, in which a girl by the name of June Spume uses her body parts to produce music, such as her eyebrows as a guitar, which accompanies the show's theme music as the show ends.
Other sketches on Planet Sketch include:
