* HomosexualReproduction: The rich have only been having male children (via gender-decisive drugs) in order to perpetuate their dynasties and so are in danger of dying out. Doctors Fred and Edward come up with a solution by combining their DNA to create their son, Fredward. This leads to another BigLippedAlligatorMoment from our heroes, as they sing of this miraculous invention and all the ensuing {{Portmanteau Couple Name}}s.

->''Liberty Chew Chewing Tobacco presents!''

''Stingray Sam'' is a six-part 2009 SpaceWestern musical written by, directed by, and starring Cory [=McAbee=]. They also made ''Film/TheAmericanAstronaut''.

Stingray Sam, a lounge singer on parole on Mars, finds himself [[strike:invited]] kidnapped by his former partner-in-crime The Quasar Kid on a mission to rescue a girl child being held by UpperClassTwit Fredward. This provides an excuse for much social satire, BigLippedAlligatorMoment songs, and dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing!

* NobodyPoops: Averted, which is why the Corporate Mascot Rehabilitation Program failed. Turning a corporate mascot into a solitary confinement Mobile Suit is not a good idea. After a while they start to...smell.
