Sheila commands Jacqueline to get down to her lab, as she's invented something that will help her destroy her brother's lab - a powder that transforms plants into vicious killing machines! She tests it on a small red flower, and it grows into a human-like figure, which Jacqueline finds cute. Unfortunately, it can't move from its pot, rendering it useless as a weapon. Nonetheless, Jacqueline takes it into her custody.

Calvin waltzes down the street in [[CoolShades bright red sunglasses]] peacefully, when suddenly the ground bursts, revealing three black creatures. Calvin identifies them as parasites that can come to any point in time and space and feed off whatever they first see, thus giving them more energy to travel through time and space.

Andy is playing a video game in his, but is interrupted by the phone ringing. On the other end is a Puerto Rican man who wants his opinion on a television program. He gives a heavily sarcastic remark about it, and returns to his game. Shortly afterwards, however, he sees a man outside yelling to himself like a lunatic. He heads outside and finds that the man is actually just holding a conversation on a [=BlueTooth=], giving a small lecture on the stupidity of said device (and drawing a comparison to [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Lando Carlrission's right-hand man]]) [[HypocriticalHumor right before heading back to his game.]]

* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch: Remarked upon InUniverse:
--> "Good evening, sir," a voice said. It sounded Puerto Rican. "We would like to know what we can do to improve the show Dance War."\\
Andy hadn't actually watched the show, but he had heard of it. It ''was'' possible to loathe such things without actually seeing them.
* DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch: The white-collared man in Andy's short shouts "IT'S A CONSPIRACY, I TELL YOU!! ''IT'S A BLOODY CONSPIRACY!!"'' Do note, however, that both authors (particularly garfieldodie, who wrote this short) are particularly fond of [[Series/DoctorWho British]] [[Series/RedDwarf media]], so this may have been intentional.

* PacManFever: Yes, somehow a text-based medium manages to play this trope straight to a tee. Andy's portable game is about a plumber trying to save a princess from a wizard and getting power crystals, and he does the standard "button mash and squint" thing as well.
* ShoutOut: Andy's game involves has [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros a plumber]] for a protagonist.
--> "I'm all for variety, but really."
* TakeThat: It becomes increasingly clear in Andy's short that {{Creator/garfieldodie}} (and possibly Swing as well) aren't really fond of video games as a medium.

Hobbes finds himself very hungry, and after a good deal of searching finds himself unable to procure any tuna. He then realizes that today is grocery day, and as such he takes things into his own paws.
Hobbes finds a nearby pond filled with hundreds of fish, and he swiftly devours them. Not too long later, he rests on the riverbed with a noticeably larger stomach. He decides to check if there's any more fish and finds that they're after him, and he barely manages to make it back into the house... upon which Calvin arrives back home with more tuna.
