Lingo begins to announce the show, but the bug says that they need objects to use in the show. So, Lingo tells them to find the objects they need. The chosen bug goes to some place, and views 3 object possibilities to use for their Big Bug Show. They say the names of the objects in whatever language they speak, then [[NoFourthWall ask the audience]] to choose the one that would work best for their show. This is repeated, but the bug goes to a different location and three different objects are presented. Then, the chosen bug returns to the stage and puts on a show for the kids.
** "Buggy Best Three" episodes follow a format, too - Lingo asks a certain bug to choose their three best Big Bug Shows. They count to three in their language, and showcase clips of their three best shows.
