Henry and June give an in-depth look on the pop-culture phenomenon that is Sniz and Fondue. June, via satellite, is inside Sniz and Fondue's actual house and reports that the temperature is 72 degrees and then throws it back to Henry. He's concerned, though, that it was the only thing in her report, getting the feeling that she is nowhere even near the house. June then attempts to disrupt the broadcast with a vacuum, and a camera cut reveals that her report is in the studio next to Henry, who isn't happy that she lost the directions to the house! June then receives a breaking news update and uses the vacuum to turn the page to the cartoon featuring those two "world leaders of tomorrow." |

Fashionably Fondue! Sniz and Fondue are shopping at Trouser Trove as Sniz is trying on jeans that are twice his size. Now wanting to become a fashion designer, Fondue shows his new portfolio to Sniz. Fondue promises once he hits it big, he'll create a whole line of jeans that will fit Sniz! Bianca and Snuppa overhear Fondue's plan and laugh it off, upsetting Fondue as he crumples up one of his advertisements and throws it out a window. It lands in a girl's sandbox where she smacks it with her shovel and lures it up into the air, hitting a hang glider pilot who crashes into a plane owned by Coco Clothiers. Fondue then receives a call from Coco to be hired as a fashion designer, making him overyjoyed! Now at Ortner Pavilion, Fondue is demonstrating his work, including a refrigerator modeled by Bianca, 26-inch ears worn by Sniz and a "one size fits all" memory derby hat sported by Snuppa. A month later, Fondue presents his newest line of fashion, blue "Sniz" jeans, as a commercial demonstrates them for all-purpose use including on the job, water skiing, working out in the gym and dancing at the disco. Two months later, Coco is upset that a single pair of the jeans haven't sold and fires Fondue. Back at home, Sniz says it's all his fault and if it wasn't for him, Fondue would still be a fashion superstar. Fondue agrees, as he should be miserable but the fame and chocolate croissants are a thing of the past and his life is in the toilet. However, he is cheered up as Sniz dances around in his jeans! |

No offense to Sniz and Fondue, but Henry and June are "jonesing" for the conclusion to the biggest Action League Now!, ever. As a service to the viewers, Henry then gives a few KaBlam! tips with June adding a guarantee it will turn their experience into action viewing. The first — "find a nice, comfy chair" as June dives into a bean bag-style chair, with her cartoon buns now cartoon comfy! The second — "snack your kablammiest snack" as Henry delivers a large graham cracker to June. The last — "eliminate ALL distractions" as June shoots Henry with a button-controlled laser, turning him to dust. She then directs the laser to the screen, revealing Action League Now!. |

The Wrath of Spotzilla: Part 2 After they accepted the Nobel Prize for being the best superheroes in the world, the Action League accidentally awoke a dog named Spotzilla, which eats Stinky Diver. Thundergirl and Meltman both made failing attempts to stop Spotzilla, whose next plan of attack is the World Cup soccer championship at the Garage Dome. Picking up where Part 1 left off, the Flesh tosses a leash and latches onto Spotzilla's collar. However, he is dragged through the yard, through a wading pool, over a log, and through some bushes before stopping briefly, causing him to land on a barbecue grill! He then gets flipped like a burger, and Spotzilla continues pulling him across the yard. The Chief tries to evacuate the crowd at the World Cup, but is quickly distracted by the game being played and provides live commentary of it. Spotzilla buries Meltman in the ground shortly before an approaching lawn mower cuts his head off, landing on the World Cup playing surface and is kicked into the goal! Thundergirl feels ashamed because the League doesn't deserve the Nobel Prize medals after their attempts to end Spotzilla's reign of terror all failed, but not before Meltman comes up with a plan. He clings onto Spotzilla's back and itches in his "sweet spot" which is successful, as Spotzilla is calmed down. The League once again takes their Nobel Prize medals, but Thundergirl says it doesn't feel right without Stinky accepting his as well, not long before he shows up with a foul odor. |

Tape #32: Fishing Prometheus teaches Bob how to fish with a rod. Bob tries his luck, but bare handed, pulling in a large catch. Prometheus is about to cast his line but Monkey grabs the bait and eats it. Prometheus tries to shoo Monkey away before Bob catapults the tree branch and Monkey crashes into the camera. Next, Prometheus attempts to use a net, but Bob wears it as a wig. Bob has figured out how to use the rod, but he pokes up a small fish. Bob is now asleep while waiting for a bite, but his and Prometheus's fishing rods are swallowed underwater by Monkey, until Prometheus uses his laser to evaporate the pond. Finally, a piece of bait is hung from the top of the tree and Bob grabs it to eat, but it's a trap as he and Prometheus are caught by Monkey. |

"Lava!" A slow snail is annoyed after another snail proves it is faster. The slow snail then drops nails to "pop" the faster snail which spins out and crashes towards the camera. |
Henry and June Act 4 | |
|
June stands outside of the boys restroom, welcoming everyone back. She then reveals that Henry has his shirt caught in his zipper, and bursts into laughter! He can't believe June told and thinks it's really not that funny, while she continues to laugh. Henry then divides up their panel where he has to stay on his side, and June has to stay on hers. June then seizes the opportunity to throw a party on her end! Henry thinks it isn't such a big deal, as June encourages everyone at her party to limbo! Henry is more concerned about his show responsibilities as he turns the page to Life with Loopy, although with a bit of jealousy. |
Life with Loopy | |
|
Goop on the Loose! Larry introduces his dad and his "legendary" wart, but he'll get to that momentarily. But for now, he wants to talk about the trouble with his hair, as it's out of control and is always looking for some kind of goop that is tough enough to tame his mane, but that's what got him into trouble. As he is about to grab a container of a product in the bathroom's medicine cabinet, his sister Loopy urges him not to, where she's been watching the container for six months now and thinks something weird is going on inside it. Over the next few weeks, Loopy continues to investigate the container while Larry enjoys the latest episode of The Charlie Chicken Show. Suddenly, the "goo-spewing mutant" escapes out of the container, and scares Larry into a new hairstyle! Larry sets up a command center while Loopy takes off in hot pursuit. At 0200 hours, the mutant removes their dad's wart and escapes out of the bedroom, just as Loopy strikes a tennis racket on his foot. The next morning, Larry and Loopy realize the container was wart removal cream and Dad is happy with the wart removed, which after it escaped, it and the mutant got married! As for Larry, he finally solves his hair problem by going bald. |

|
June's panel party continues while Henry says the party this week is over for him, at least. He attempts to play KaBlam!'s ending theme, but has the wrong record as it plays operatic music, making him angry and sad. June then holds up the correct record and asks Henry if he's looking for it, which he sarcastically acknowledges. June tosses it on the player and encourages Henry to join the party. Henry then shows off his dance moves as he closes the comic book! |

Trivia[]
- This episode was later pulled from reruns on Nicktoons after a suggestive image was shown in Sniz and Fondue, where one of Fondue's designs depicts a female ferret with fish covering her private areas, and in Action League Now!, Thundergirl says something suggestive for very young viewers. Despite this, it was replayed on NickRewind (formerly The Splat and NickSplat) airings, probably because it targeted older (13+) audiences.
- The Lava! segment and the Surprising Shorts bit proceeding it was removed from Nicktoons airings and NickRewind airings due to copyright issues.
- This episode does not use "Skaternity" (normally heard in the credits of Season 1 episodes) as its ending theme. It uses an extended version of the "2-Tone Army" theme song. The next episode "All Purpose KaBlam!" also does this, albeit more longer.
- This episode is not available for streaming on Paramount+ due to the Action League Now! two-parter's main villain, Spotzilla having an uncanny resemblance to Spot the Telecom Dog, the former mascot for the New Zealand-based Telecom service.
