Scenes
Subversives take over all the TV airwaves in the U.S. and air disgusting and offensive programs and commercials. One of the shows is "The Paranoids." It depicts a man nervously going into a men's room stall and scrubbing the toilet before he sits down, after first waiting for another man to finish using a urinal.
In a brief parody of the old Alka-Seltzer commercials, men are shown using urinals and toilets in a men's room while singing the "Plop Plop Fizz Fizz, Oh What a Relief It Is" jingle.
