!!The Segments
[[AC:Prologue]]
* Joel is making waffles... a lot of waffles. Crow and Tom Servo think that Joel might be getting a little obsessed.

[[AC:Segment 1/Invention Exchange]]
* As Joel bores the 'Bots by naming all the great ways to enjoy waffles, Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank use their new Meat Re-Animator to bring a pre-cooked chicken back to life, only for it to threaten them at knifepoint. Joel's invention, the Waffle Iron, is literally a steam iron that flattens waffles into pancakes.

[[AC:Segment 2]]
* Joel has made even more waffles, and now he's reprogrammed the 'Bots to love waffles as much as he does. The crew name all sorts of new and strange uses for waffles.

[[AC:Segment 3]]
* "Waffles."

[[AC:Segment 4]]
* Servo is so stuffed with waffles that he wonders if the world would be better off without waffles. Introducing Willy the Waffle (as played by Crow), who shows Servo just how important waffles are to everything.

[[AC:Segment 5]]
* The crew celebrates all things waffles with a glorious song proclaiming their favorite food in all the world. Dr. Forrester threatens shock therapy on anybody who mentions waffles again, starting with Frank.

* FairForItsDay: The short is a borderline case. The late 40s and early 50s were a time when women were being aggressively pushed to go back into the home and forget about work, so in a sense encouraging girls to go to college, even if the purpose was to study home economics, was progressive; by the same token the short aggressively pushing the storyline that a job was only something for a girl to have until she could find a man was perfectly in keeping with the social pressures of the day.
