* DaydreamSurprise: Filburt gets all nervous after his singer idol Buddy Gecko accidentally breaks his Walkman and motivational tapes that have been helping him with his stage fright. Buddy assures him the tapes were all a sham and to go out there, as "[[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong what's the worst that could happen]]?" Filburt goes out on stage and nervously says "Ahem..." but the audience immediately starts booing and ProducePelting him, and then chase him with TorchesAndPitchforks to a [[Film/Frankenstein1931 windmill]], and then a SpinningPaper announces the U.N. declares "Filb" is a menace to society, and they bomb him to death. His gravestone reads "Here Lies FILB, [[GraveHumor He was a lousy singer]]". Buddy Gecko then knocks over his gravestone, which is then blown up by lightning. It then ripples back to reality, showing Filburt is alive and well, and had only imagined the whole ordeal, and hasn't gone on stage yet.
