Madballs: Gross Jokes

It begins with a warning. It is said that the episode contains scenes that may offend viewers. It is also said that most viewers may experience nagging backache, rapid heartbeat, post-nasal drip, delirium, swelling of the nose, throat and abdomen and loss of facial hair. Repeated viewing of the episode will result in the loss of one's bodily functions, redistribution of one's facial features, and a difficulty in forming simple sentences. The announcer concludes the warning by saying that you should definitely watch this episode if you really want to have a career as a lawn ornament. After the roll call (which, curiously, excludes Bash Brain), Bash Brain appears and says that he has never seen anything so awful in his life. He then reminisces about some time in a hospital.
