!!The Segments:
[[AC:Prologue]]
* Joel sands the sides of Tom's head down, making it perfectly cylindrical. Then he goes a little bonkers selling Tom additional "hair"-care products.

[[AC:Segment 1/Invention Exchange]]
* Gypsy ate Joel's first invention (the Mexican Jumping Bean-Bag Chair), so he produced an adding machine which prints out candy strips instead, to make taxes fun. The Mads combine a foosball table with good ol' H2O to create water polo.

[[AC:Segment 2]]
* In preparation for the film's political commentary, Joel gives the 'Bots a lesson on the Cold War. Bet you didn't know just how many beloved 50s puppets and animation stars were involved.

[[AC:Segment 3]]
* A parody quiz game called ''Civil Defense Quiz Bowl'', where all the contestants wrap themselves in tinfoil. The final round is "Fallout Elimination".

[[AC:Segment 4]]
* Just as the US and Soviet Union had their space race, so too did the Soviets also send a man and his two robot pals -- in this case, cosmonaut Sari Andropoli with two inoperable 'bots -- into space. His sense of humor is lacking.

[[AC:Segment 5]]
* The SOL crew can't stop speaking their grievances with the film over each other, but a deep breath later, they go on a ''long'' tirade. The fan letter, including a photo of a stuffed bunny, doesn't improve the mood.

** According to Best Brains, it was to reduce the amount of space taken up by Servo in the theater. They decided they liked "Classic" Servo better. Oddly, even during this episode, Servo is less than pleased with his "haircut", scoffing at Joel's remark he looks like one of the members of Kid 'N' Play.
