* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: The webseries arc "A Gooey-Ful Mind" has Egghead, the resident klutzy ditz of the Grosseries, find himself super-smart (from sticking his tongue in an outlet trying to get a mint). Unfortunately, his smartness makes him realize how filthy the Yucky Mart is, causing him to campaign to shut it down. The big issue with this is that not only is the Yucky Mart the home of the Grosseries, it's the only reason they're ''alive''. Thankfully a second electric shock is enough to bring Egghead back to normal... [[HereWeGoAgain only to give Rocky amnesia.]]
