Under pressure from the government to hire women at WESAYSO (and after plans for Earl and his friends to dress as women in order to bypass the new order fall through), B.P. Richfield hires the first female who walks through the door to be the new supervisor, who turns out to be Charlene, who needs money for a wilderness trip.
Tropes:
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: The trailer for Exploding Cop says the villains killed the lead's partner, his wife, his kids, his parents, and his travel agent. They also ran over his dog... a couple of times.
- Baby See, Baby Do: When Baby sees the trailer for Exploding Cop II, he tries to explode just like the titular character.
- Bait-and-Switch: Richfield says that having to hire female workers means changes for Earl, Roy, and Sid. You're made to think they're going to get fired, but after a transition, they're instead dressed in drag.
- Batman Gambit: Charlene gets the workers to focus by promising them a fresh, full-sized donut for every tree they push over. Earl barely manages to resist this strategy, but the others are all for it.
- Berserk Button: Richfield is outraged about Charlene increasing efficiency, and he is positively livid when he uses that very word to describe what she did. On her way out the door, Charlene spitefully says it just to annoy him.
- Cassandra Truth: Charlene's first potential employer thinks somebody sent her to him as a prank.
- Comically Missing the Point: Richfield threatens to gut Roy and turn him into luggage. Roy remarks in all sincerity that he's thought about traveling with him, too.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Mr. Richfield berates and ultimately fires Charlene for greatly increasing the efficiency because contractors can keep their clients waiting.
- Disguised in Drag: Mr. Richfield forces some employees to pass themselves as females to trick the government. The episode ends with Mr. Richfield himself trying this trick after firing Charlene. He then lashes out at the audience to keep quiet about his secret.
- Happy Ending Override: Parodied in the trailer for Exploding Cop II, where the lead apparently put his life back together (replacing all the previously lost loved ones), only for those people to get killed, too. He was all right about it, though, until he found the supermarket didn't have any peanut butter.
- Noodle Incident: Earl got fired from seven different jobs before ending up pushing down trees.
- "Not So Different" Remark: When made to feel guilty, Earl consoles Charlene by saying he knows what it's like to get fired.
- Open Mouth, Insert Foot: A combination of not wanting to take orders from Charlene and being worried about getting fired prompts Earl to express relief upon learning she got fired instead.
- Potty Failure: While attempting to explode, Baby ends up pooping his diaper.Baby: Whoops! Need a diaper, aisle four!
- Rage Breaking Point: The lead in Exploding Cop does just that when the narrator mentions his dog getting run over. In the sequel, it's his supermarket running out of peanut butter.
- Take That!: Richfield berates Charlene for failing to understand that government contractors can be completely inefficient and still collect the money.
- Tempting Fate: Earl berates Charlene for expecting a letter to change things. The TV then shows the government holding a lucky draw with letters sent by citizens suggesting new laws and her letter suggesting job opportunities for females was drawn.
- T-Word Euphemism: Richfield hates efficiency so much that he won't even have the E-word uttered in his presence.
- Your Head A-Splode: The Exploding Cop.
