[[folder:"Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield (1973)]]
* Given the release of [[Film/TheExorcistBeliever a new Exorcist film]] - and in spite of "Tubular Bells" being a one hit wonder by technicality through association with [[Film/TheExorcist the original film]] - Todd felt it's the right time to bring back the One-Hit Wonderland Halloween Spooktacular.
-->'''Todd:''' I feel Halloweeny. 'Tis the damn season. So much like Linda Blair, we're gonna bend a little on this. So at the moment, let us appreciate the long, creepy shadow of "Tubular Bells", an absolutely towering piece of work in multiple genres, and we will try to keep it vaguely Halloween-related. [[VoiceOfTheLegion YOUR MOTHER SUCKS COCKS IN HELL!]] ''([[VomitIndiscretionShot cue projectile vomiting]])''
* When starting out Before the Hit:
-->'''Todd:''' ''(wipes his mouth)'' Alright! Believe it or not, I think this is actually my first attempt to cover ProgressiveRock. It's kind of hard to cover because ''(over a graphic timeline of Music/{{Yes}}' many lineup changes)'' every band in it is an unstable mess. I think at one point Music/EmersonLakeAndPalmer was actually five lute players named Johnson.

* Todd compliments Lene as Barbie for fitting the Barbie stereotype perfectly, even if she doesn't ''look'' like it, starting with the fact she's a redhead (complete with "not blonde?" caption). He does ''not'' extend the same compliment to René as Ken though, saying that he's "still not quite sure what to do with their odd interpretation of creepy, predatory, Eurotrash Ken."
-->'''Todd:''' Ken has always been a bland, vaguely gay nothing of a man. Bald, growling, head tattoo René is not any Ken doll I ever saw.
