The episode then takes on a talk show format, with Weird Al as the host and various guests appearing throughout the show.

The main plot of the episode focuses on a skit in which Weird Al portrays a rebellious teenager named Bobby, who is influenced by his troublemaking friend Buzz. Bobby's parents are concerned about his behavior and seek the help of Dr. Demento, played by guest star "Weird Al" Yankovic (in a dual role).
