Within the first five minutes, a cast member is fired. Lance and friends watch his roommate's porno tape, only to be shocked by his roommate’s unusual fetish for office equipment. Impersonating Christopher Walken, Lance crank calls an actual restaurant and barks orders at a very flustered manager. Looks prove to be deceiving, as a booty call gets sticky. Also featured: an amateur reporter who shows up too late to catch the action, A parody of Punk*D! called Trik*D!, a guy so desperate he has to rent a friend, and an epic struggle between a man and a smelly bathroom.
We meet Tron, the Vietnamese dry-cleaning comedian. Chu-Chi, a fake psychic who reads real people, sees the future, and it involves dead cats. While working late, an office drone goes head to head with a Ninja. A “Tough Man” champion wreaks havoc on a family friendly fishing show. Also featured: a romantic “morning-after” breakfast with a revolting twist, a reporter who isn’t dressed for the job, a narcoleptic on the subway, and a gay porn star prank calling a real résumé service.
All but one of Lance’s co-workers are oblivious to his personal “activities” in his cubicle. A karate instructor uses cheap special effects to promote his third-rate karate school. A dead hippie’s unusual last request turns his wake into a nightmare. Lance’s sexual fantasies give way to an awkward reality when his lesbian neighbor asks him to impregnate her. Also featured: a reporter’s crappy visit to a dog park, the return of Chu-Chi the psychic, an incoherent prank call to a clock shop, and real life comic-book convention nerds.
Two weary samurai challenge each other to a series of inept battles. An innocent April Fool’s joke turns surreal. On a perfectly clear day, an amateur news reporter gets real bystanders to re-enact hurricane conditions. Also featured: a job interview for a very “special” newspaper, fraternity brothers using tough love to get a bookworm to study, Tron the dry-cleaning comedian, Lance hunting down celebrities with the aid of a star map, and Trik*d!
