Go To

Pops tries to get on the gameshow "Win That Prize," but ends up climbing the corporate TV studio ladder by accident.

  • Absurd Phobia: On the show "Roger!," the guest on the show, Ven, has a fear of pineapples.
  • And I Must Scream: The President of YZB Studios is forced to watch every show the studio puts out. The only way they're allowed out of their job is when they die.
  • Chekhov's Skill: Scabby Grossman's zombie gait is used by Pops when he sneaks his way out while disguised as Scabby.
  • Continuity Nod: Pops drinks milk to celebrate his escape from YZB Studios, it being his drink of choice since "Guy's Night".
  • Extremely Short Timespan: Pops is shown climbing the ranks of YZB Studios, having helped invent 120+ shows just from saying "good show."
  • Faking the Dead: Pops fakes his own death with a life-sized copy of his body so he can finally go on "Win That Prize."
  • For Want Of A Nail: If Pops had just waited for the security guard to give him a map to "Win That Prize," he wouldn't have suffered being made into the President of YZB Studios.
  • Gratuitous Spanish: The Spanish-speaking show Pops ends up in, "El Popote Corto," is translated as "The Short Straw." The male lead on the show says "­¡Tú amigo tiene un grande cabeza!", or "Your friend has a big head!"
  • I Die Free: The President of YZB Studios makes Pops the new President before dying of old age.
  • Latex Perfection: Pops wears a Mission: Impossible Film Series-worthy mask that lets him not only perfectly imitate Scabby Grossman, but fit over his giant head.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Gregson Ramses is modeled after Gordon Ramsay, being a Harsh Talent Show Judge chef.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Wham Line: Scabby Grossman drops a bomb to Vice President Lamprey about Pops.
    Grossman: I didn't get to go on "Win That Prize."
  • Younger Than They Look: The President of YZB Studios looks like an old man, but is really a boy who got lost on the studio tour and ended up in the same situation as Pops: rapidly promoted up to the President, having aged rapidly from the stress of running a TV studio.
