Baah-Dern Times
Original air date: 12/9/2001
In the fifteenth episode of Sheep in the Big City, with the entire cast of "Sheep in the Big City" sick, the audience shall instead watch an old black-and-white silent film featuring the ancestors and relatives of the cast.
"Baah-Dern Times" contains examples of:
- Deliberately Monochrome: The silent film shown is deliberately black and white to complete the homage.
- Identical Grandson: The narrator show the audience a silent film starring the grandfathers of Sheep and General Specific, who look almost exactly like their grandsons.
- Meat-O-Vision: The silent film begins with Sheep's grandfather running from a man resembling a bearded Farmer John when the man sees Sheep's grandfather's body as a lamb chop and attempts to kill him so he can eat him.
- Obstructive Bureaucrat: A skit features Lisa Rental singing a musical number about how she'd like to grow up to be a bureaucrat because she'd be paid to make things miserable for other people.
- Retraux: The silent film we see showcases various old-school cartoon staples, like dancing cows in button pants, horrible splicing, and run-down audio, run rampant throughout.
- Spin-Off Babies: Parodied in a fake commercial for Secret Military Organization Babies, a fictional spin-off wherein General Specific, Private Public, and the Angry Scientist are babies.
