"But... truth is, I just really wanna fuck this thing."
— Braddie
This is a one-shot spoof of Demo Reel by Brad Jones. It chronicles the misadventures of an amateur crew as they try to remake movies. The episode centers on their attempts to make a truly sexy porno of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial... okay it's about Braddie insisting they make it and the rest of the crew reluctantly being forced along.
Characters include:
- Braddie Broderick (played by Brad): The director and male lead in most of their films, who specifically insists on also starring in their ET The Porno remake because he has an obsession with having sex with his E.T. costume.
- Sid Oculus (played by Dave): The assistant director and Braddie's close friend.
- Gretchen Magnum (played by Jillian): The female lead, who had barely contained contempt for Braddie.
- Admiral Crackers (played by Brian): A former cereal mascot from The '60s, who is now the crew's cameraman.
- Henrietta (played by Sarah): A heroin addict who's brought in to replace Gretchen.
- Karl Copenhagen (played by Rob Walker): A character from the original Demo Reel, who comes in to help finish shooting the porn.
