Plot summary
Master Shake has gained weight and is too fat to fit through the door of the house. A package arrives for them, featuring the Aqua Teens with the Situpon cycle machine. Frylock starts using the Situpon, meanwhile Carl uses the cheaper, unstable Leprechaun machine. After cutting open the door, Shake brings home an old Walkulator treadmill that Meatwad uses as his miniature TV screen. Shake then gives up after a short run and starts eating ice cream. Meanwhile, Frylock has been practicing on his Situpon for countless days and decides to stop because he needs to eat, only for Situpon to taunt and mock him for stopping. During the night, Situpon warns Frylock of a catastrophic earthquake approaching the planet and asks Frylock to go to the store to buy maple syrup. After getting the syrup, Frylock tells the others about the earthquake. Situpon scolds Frylock for telling them, only to reveal that he is faking it, much to Shake’s delight. The next day, Situpon tries to make amends with Frylock, only to then warn him of a comet approaching Earth. Frylock has had enough and gives it to Shake in Italian disguise to try to fool Frylock. Situpon continues to insult Shake for his laziness, effectively making Shake aware of his image. Rummaging through Frylock’s closet to find a pair of skinny jeans, meanwhile, Meatwad gives Frylock a note from Siputon, which he immediately pushes away. The Aqua Teens then discover Situpon’s wheels rising into the sky, ultimately proving that the machine was right in its warnings. As they take off on Situponius, a giant comet approaches Earth as the Aqua Teens await their inevitable demise.
