Plot[]
A microwave magnetron has destroyed all working VCRs in Mr. Plinkett's house and in the aftermath, Mike and Jay are re-hired by Mr. Plinkett to repair his VCR. The duo learns that the City of Milwaukee has scheduled the destruction of Plinkett's house to build a freeway, but Plinkett remains blissfully unaware.
Hoping to graft Plinkett for the last time, Mike and Jay request advance payment, however, Plinkett has run out of checks and must retrieve his checks from his old home. Their plan hits another snag when Richard Edlund Jr., a union construction worker, arrives to start the demolition. Mike and Jay appeal to Richard's indolence with an offer of cold beer.
The three stall for time at the repair shop while discussing Man of Steel. However, their scam fails when Plinkett learns of the impending destruction of his house. As Plinkett packs up his life, he releases Mike and Jay from their contract. Resigned, the three leave.
Richard then returns with a sledgehammer and joyously destroys Plinkett's home.
Summary and Review[]
“ The Man of Steel is a new reboot of a remake to a sequel of Superman. It stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, a 7-11 logo, and Kevin Costner as a Sears logo. In this film, Superman punches a bunch of energy while Metropolis is destroyed and all of its citizens die, except for Laurence Fishburne and a secretary. General Zod also wants the Kodak to save Krypton. — Mike Stoklasa”
