Plot synopsis

The skit starts with Co-MC and James walking into the Club Mario studio, with Co-MC mentioning that he is excited for the show today. He notices that there are no lights at Club Mario, and asks for someone to turn on the lights. He then notices Tommy Treehugger, who is sleeping on the couch, and shakes his elbow to wake him up, exclaiming that he is awake. Tommy exclaims that he had a nightmare involving him at Chateau Koopula with Count Koopula, who was planning to turn Princess Toadstool into a spaghetti-sucking vampiress. Co-MC does not find this as a coincidence, as it is also the plot for today's episode: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Count Koopula." He then tells the cameraman, who has panned close up to them, to leave, saying that he and Tommy will go "satellite surfing." As James then begins playing a tune on his guitar, Tommy and Co-MC "satellite surf" to a channel featuring parasailors parasailing sponsored by Sailboard Vacations.

After their "satellite surfing" session, Co-MC comments on how great their session was and welcomes the viewer back to his and Tommy's show, introducing them to a segment of "Are You Bogus?", which stars a guest who claims to be Nadia Comăneci. He then comments that Tommy is skeptical of his guest this time, though he responds in the negative, affirming that she is Comăneci, with him and James then applauding her. He then asks his guest what her name is, to which she responds that it is Nadia Comăneci. He then asks her to performing an intimidate to advanced gymnastics maneuver as proof that she is a gymnast, to which she responds that she can do back handsprings, backflips, roundoffs, though Tommy finds these insufficient. "Comăneci" then responds that she can perform backbends, which Tommy wants her to perform, explaining that he has it in films. He then tells her perform a backbend in front of them, which she does, though halfway into the manuever she exclaims that she has a problem. Tommy and Co-MC then realize that she is not Comăneci and put her back her feet, calling her "bogus" before telling her to leave their studio. Tommy then says that they should watch the cartoon, and the scene then fades to the cartoon.

After the cartoon, the scene then fades back to Club Mario, where James is finishing a tune on a guitar. Tommy exclaims that it was very good, with Co-MC mentioning that it is almost as good as the cartoon. He then welcomes the viewer back to the show though mentions that his mother would never allow him to do this at home. However, Tommy mentions that he is not at home: he is at Club Mario. He then throws a green pitcher onto the ground, with Co-MC saying that they can do whatever they want. He then asks Tommy what they will be doing next, to which he responds that they should go "satellite surfing."

They then "satellite surf" to a show about helicopters by the American Helicopter Society Inc. The narrator begins by saying that the United States Armed Forces is a major use for helicopters, explaining that the Armed Forces operates more than 10,000 helicopters. The narrator then continues by explaining that modern army helicopters make up air convoys, capable of lifting soldiers across barriers and opposing armies since the beginning of time.

The scene cuts back to Tommy controlling a toy car with a dinosaur on top of it, crashing the car into the side of their couch, with Co-MC commenting that the crash was great. He then welcomes the viewer back to their show, with him and Tommy telling the viewer of several things they could not do back at home. They then say that they can do whatever they want at Club Mario because it is the best place on the planet. Co-MC says that he and Co-MC will be watching The Legend of Zelda for this episode, and the scene then fades to the preview as James begins a tune on his guitar.

After the preview, the scene fades back to Club Mario, where James finishes up the tune he started prior to The Legend of Zelda preview. Tommy says that his guitar-playing skills cannot get any better, though Tommy comments that it will due to the dance party deal they made. Tommy then explains that he and Co-MC had an "awesome" show for them today, explaining that they had Nadia Comăneci (which Co-MC mentions was an imposter), a "spooky" cartoon, a good nap, and James. They then say goodbye to the viewer before telling James to play a tune to close the show. He then begins playing tune on his guitar as backup dancers enter their set and start dancing with them.
