912: The Screaming Skull (W/ Robot Rumpus)
Short: A Gumby short about how building your own robots can be a bad thing.
Movie: A man and his wife move out to a house he has somewhere. There, they meet the mysterious gardener, Mickey, who is still in love with the man's former wife. Then mysterious things begin to happen and a skull shows up in some scenes, and I...guess it's screaming........
Opening: Servo turns into a butterfly. Apparently all along, the Servo we knew had been a mere larva of what he was destined to be eventually.
Host Segment 1: Down in Castle Forrester, Pearl, Observer, and Bobo run around in penguin suits, pathetically trying to pull a practical joke on Mike and the bots, convincing them that they'd agreed to meet them there, also with penguin costumes on. Mike and the 'bots throw together some makeshift animal costumes of their own, and everyone looks pretty dumb in the end. Crow is a sheep, Mike is a dog, and Servo is a reindeer.
Host Segment 2: The bots work through the trauma of having to watch Gumby mutilate robots by having their own clay figure show.
Host Segment 3: Servo tries to scam a free coffin, as guaranteed at the beginning of Screaming Skull for people who die of fright (not boredom) while watching this movie. It backfires on him when they find out he's not really dead.
Host Segment 4: Now Crow tries to pull a joke, becoming a Screaming Skull and frightening Mike. Mike freaks out and bashes both the bots with a variety of sporting goods, inluding pulling out his golf clubs and bashing Crow with the Driver, screaming himself the whole time.
End: Servo's coffin arrives. He has to pay the full delivery cost of returning it. But no harm is done, as he uses Mike's credit card for this. Down in Castle Forrester, Bobo dresses like a ape, trying to fool them that he is an ape - that is, an ape other than Bobo. At Pearl's request, Brain Guy makes him tiny (though he is actually just standing at the back of the room).
Stinger: Man throws a stool at the screaming skull thing.
Special Notes: None
