[edit] Synopsis
[edit] Cold open
Dr. Weird and Steve can't make it to the Mooninites' ice cream social... because they have been spliced together and become one!
[edit] Plot
Meatwad is watching TV, and Master Shake wants him to change the channel, shooting a flaming arrow through the TV when Meatwad refuses. After they discover that there aren't any more TVs around in the house, they then discover why there were in the first place; Frylock has been cloning them using his cloner, and he's tired of it.
Frylock explains that if something is cloned too many times, like the TV, the molecular structure begins to break down and weird things begin to happen. Shake refuses to believe it, and Meatwad makes a play for sympathy from Frylock, saying that he can't face the day without his TV.
Finally, Frylock clones another TV, and odd things begin to happen. First, the TV shows Shake as a psycho who clones money with the cloner, becoming rich. He decides to do just that with a dollar borrowed from Meatwad.
The second thing the TV does is portray Frylock as a murderer who shoots and kills everyone in sight. This scares Meatwad, who runs away from Frylock when he sees him. Shake and Meatwad try to convince Frylock that there's something wrong, which he only believes after blood starts to flow from the TV. The TV passes to Carl, who sees a show on channel 666 which shows him meeting the same fate as Frylock's victims from before.
Meanwhile, Frylock discovers Shake is cloning money, and tries to convince him that it's wrong, but Shake doesn't listen. Eventually, Frylock decides to start cloning money himself to open a chain of restaurants.
After a while, there's too much money cloned, and a money-crafted George Washington appears to tell them what they're doing is wrong. Frylock promptly takes him out with a shotgun and says that they should have cloned $20 bills because "Jackson wouldn't have given a [bleep]."
[edit] Cultural references
- The scene where Master Shake saw himself in the TV saying "I'm in you're house" and "Call me" is a reference to a scene in the film Lost Highway.
[edit] Notes
- This episode marks the end of the Dr. Weird and Steve cold openings, as well as their presence in the series.
