Plot Overview

Everybody, Get Naked!

Shin and Hiro are home watching a game show similar to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, when Mitzi demands they use spa coupons before they expire. On their way, Shin and Hiro run into Nanako, and find out she's going to the same spa. After a short daydream about boobie-touching, Shin tries his best to impress Nanako at the spa, in front of several other naked men.

White Men Can't Dump

Georgie has to poop, very badly, but he doesn't want to go in a public restroom. He stops by the Nohara family's apartment to find a way to excuse himself into the bathroom. Georgie tries to create the image that he doesn't go to the bathroom by saying he has to powder his nose, but after several failed attempts to use the bathroom and stuffing himself with sweet potatoes, Georgie has to find another place to do his business.

The Cucumber Sucking Monster

Boo tells the story of the deadly Kappa monster, who lives near Mt. Kasukabe. With the help of Ai and Mr. K, Shin and his friends search for the monster.
