Plot

Spacecataz: Emory and Oglethorpe try to get back at the Mooninites for flipping them off. Mooning, flashing and name calling ensues.

The main episode opens up with Frylock boring his roommates with his lecture on improving computer technology faced with microscopic limitation. When Frylock ultimately reveals his shrink ray, Shake and Meatwad go crazy with it until Frylock apprehends the ray from Master Shake. When Frylock tries to open up his roommates to the possibilities of the shrink ray, Shake and Meatwad can only think of personal gain, such as a pool or a overgrown hotdog. When Frylock shrinks a computer chip, Meatwad mistakes for a potato chip and eats it. Frylock, in an attempt to get his computer chip back, makes Meatwad drink to clean out Meatwad's systems. Jealous of the attention Meatwad has received, Shake drinks the second drink (which Frylock may have urinated in), which causes him to vomit extremely. Shake goes to lie down while Meatwad enjoys snacking on Shake's vomit. Frylock reveals his intentions with Meatwad, but Meatwad reveals that he cannot excrete matter, comparing his body to the Thunderdome. Meatwad gets Frylock to say "poop" and gets ecstatic about it, while Shake is still upset from the drink. Frylock's plan, which is modified from Meatwad's plan, is to shrink himself and have Shake inject Frylock into Meatwad's body. Shake, however, starts to shrink Meatwad instead. After Shake shrinks Frylock, Shake leaves the house and enlarges a pool.

A shrunken Carl is thrown into a setting with a miniature Frylock. Shake, playing with Carl's insecurities, has Carl fighting Frylock. Meanwhile, Shake is messing with the shrink ray on Carl and Frylock. Frylock gets Carl to cooperate under the condition that Frylock will help Carl with enlarging Carl's manhood. Shake makes a "hail storm" of orange soda on his two friends, which Frylock reacts with his own rays. After this fails, Shake decides to "compare rays" and shrinks Frylock to a very microscopic size. Shake then throws Meatwad into the battlefield with Carl.

A sleeping Master Shake, next to an enlarged hotdog wiener, is woken up by Carl, Meatwad, and Frylock who are now small enough that they have crawled into Shake's brain, or lack thereof. Frylock gets Shake to increase Meatwad with the shrink ray (two times his size), but Meatwad does not return the favor, instead finding amusement in the overgrown hotdog.

While fallen asleep, Meatwad is waken up by Frylock but Frylock is not inside of Meatwad. And Carl is not inside of Meatwad, too. After Meatwad is waken up by Frylock, Meatwad offers Frylock some of the overgrown hotdog. In Frylock's room, Carl is getting ready to increase his "package." Frylock reveals to Meatwad that Carl and Frylock had to blow out one of Shake's eyeballs to get out. After Carl "enhances" himself, items that after seeing all the mayhem it has caused, and giant crab louse start to pop out of Carl's pants.
