Too bad they ignite upon contact to sunlight. Flaming Zombie Rasputin and his Flaming Zombies, this summer on Fox.

Pete is wandering around a hidden laboritory when some SCIENCE happens. Now he must face the challenges of randomly turning into an anthromorphic personification of a nearby animal.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

It's a Beast Boy origin story that's suffering from heavy Adaptation Decay.

A little boy gets his pinky finger stuck in a Coke bottle that quickly reveals that it can talk. At first, the Coke bottle is very annoyed with having a finger stuck in him, but it eventually warms up to the boy, and they become close friends and go on wondrous adventures, like the time they rescued that missing dog.

The Coke bottle is called a coke bottle not because it contained the soda, but because it contained cocaine. The boy is high.

The world leaders start turning into clowns.

It's merely a metaphor for how people are losing faith in their leaders. Only one man can restore their dignity.

The only way to save the world, is to teach an octogenarian the joy of JRPGs.

The world outside their apartment is structured like one a la Abenobashi, and only the octogenarian has the required skills to defeat the final boss and return things to normal.

Three newts and an ostrich must save the world from alien invaders.

It's just a generic alien invasion story that happens to be set in the Wild West.

The world is terrified of the possibility of a new technology that allows planes to fly upside down as well as right side up.
