812: The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies Movie: Well... a drunkard salesman turns down some advances by a pizza-faced gypsy woman who summons her even more pizza-faced assistant named Ortega who takes him into the back room where there are other former salesmen who are now zombies. Then we meet a guy named Jerry who meets up with the gypsy women, becomes a zombie, kills a carny or two, and then is killed by a cop. I guess there's more but even this paragraph was hard to write. Opening: Crow and Servo raise funds in competing walk-a-thons, for groups with real long acronyms. Servo's very deserving non-profit is called "Helping Children Through Research and Development," which stands for...you'll have to watch it, it's waaaaaaaayyyyy too long. Host Segment 1: Pearl is driving the annoying children from last show home; she keeps them fed and happy with her bountiful stock of bar snacks and non-alcoholic drink mixes. From the planet, the squabbling Bobo and Observer speak to the SOL only through audio and still shots. (Why?) Bobo hurls something unspeakable at Observer. It's something available only to him. Host Segment 2: Crow and Servo, pretending to be a crack fortune-telling team, take Mike for fifty cents. Mike is a little disappointed. Host Segment 3: Inspired by the nice foreign guy in the movie, Crow and Servo sport new pompadours. They talk Mike into getting one two, and he contacts Nanite Shelli. She gabs and talks and is just so nice and gives Mike a real real tall pompadour, I mean real tall, he goes into the theater like that. Host Segment 4: Crow hires Ortega to cater the commercial break. It's a great spread, especially the rellenos with smoky gouda and fresh crab, and the blue corn baskets with flaked trout in chipotle vinaigrette, although Mike simply must object to Ortega's filth and saliva and what not. Sadly, Ortega ashes in the quail eggs and his shame overwhelms him. End: Crow and Servo put Mike in box, call it a roller coaster, serve him some hot coffee and push him off the desk. Pearl drops off the kids at their parents'. They're huge and omnipotent so she turns down their offer of coffee and carrot cake. Stinger: The friend who can't speak English speaks.
