Plots

Nursery Crimes

Billy eats 19 Atomic Frenzy Cakes at 3:00am and can't sleep, and wants Mandy to tell him a story. Mandy, who is mad at him for this, tells him an awful story, without happy ending, so Billy makes up his story. But his story about happy villagers in the middle of the Nowhere was pathetic, so Grim uses a magic storybook to tells his story. He turned Billy and Mandy into Hansel and Gretel, and send them into Fairy Tale Land. Worst of all, Billy has been captured by "Pinnochiochiochiochiochiochiochiochio" who wants to eat his flesh so he can became a real boy!

My Peeps

Billy ruined his view with too much video games, and he needs laser eye surgery. He unfortunately doesn't want it, so Grim tries to fix Billy's eyes himself. At first, it seems that everything is normal, but soon Billy see so good that he can look into future. He has awful views into other people's future, and new view drives him crazy. Grim and Mandy wants to bring his view back to normal, but a lot of weird things happened (e.g. being seen as Japanese-speaking anime versions of themselves.

Billy's Visions

Irwins rides his bike in to a pole and gets severely injured.
Pud'n gets stomped on by an elephant while on a trip to the zoo.
Mandy's head is on a table like a doily (although this was because she was playing a table in a school play).

Trivia

"Dugeons and Dinobonoids" is a spoof of Dungeons and Dragons.
You may know Mary Jo Catlett as the voice of Mrs. Poppy Puff and Tom Kenny as the voice of Spongebob from SpongeBob SquarePants.
My Peeps is a parody of a well known Twilight Zone episode, "A Most Unusual Camera", in which a camera can develop pictures five minutes into the future, sometimes revealing the grim fate of the photo's occupants. It may also be a parody of The Dead Zone.
Look Hard: When Mandy saw Billy crossing the street while the traffic light says "Don't Walk", she had eyelashes.
The times when Grim tries to fix Billy's eyes (after he gains the ability to gaze into the future) lead to some interesting results. The first time round, Billy's vision becomes much like a teenager's comic, an anime (indicated by Mandy speaking in Japanese), a three year old's cartoon and finally he ends up with a pair of realistic eyes that are not focused.
The story that Mandy tells is "Once upon a time... the end."
