Contents |
Andy and Danny imagine the circumstances and possibility of playing with a fire hose.
After seeing Jen read "I, Robot", Andy pretends to be a robot and gets trapped in a closet. He escapes by saying he's not a robot and he's an alien.
A choose-your-fate adventure in which, no matter what you do, you die at the end. You have to blow fifteen pink balloons and put them in Jen's bedroom while she is asleep for her to see in the morning. In the end, there is a plot twist, where Jen inhales a deadly odour you made with your breath while blowing up the balloons, and she dies. Your family gets caught in the stench and, as a result, die in the explosion because of the birthday candle fuses connecting with the stench, igniting the fumes.
Andy and Danny try to stage a home video for "Australia's Funniest Home Videos", but Danny keeps getting distracted by a kitten. The camera eventually gets wrecked by the falling ladder, Jen catches Andy and Danny's incident on her camera phone, and sends it off to AFHV.
