Fan's Fantastic Features skit[]
Fan and Paper are seen laughing with each other in the latter's long awaited interview. Paper tells Fan about his issue with Dolphins and how scared of he was of them. The two are then cut off by Test Tube, who tells Fan that they had received Spoiled Lemon tickets that had to be claimed "right now". Fan says that despite how amazing it sounded, he wanted to stay "in the moment" with Paper. Paper says that they could do the interview later, which Fan hastily agrees too before running out of the door. Paper walks over to Fan's desk and drops his lucky mug on the ground, and an evil grin forms on his face. A Dolphin then appears behind Paper, leading him to scream.
