That '80s Show

That '80s Show is the two-part series premiere of HTML: The Animated Series. In this episode, Bobby is fired from Spyware Industries, and so he decides to work on a prototype he had previously scrapped called the USB flash drive. The prototype, however, has drastic effects and ultimately extracts secluded and reclusive data far beyond it's original limitations.
==Plot==
===Part one===
The episode opens with a dystopic, industrial setting in a dark atmosphere, showing a line of emotionless workers walking in unison through a long tunnel monitored by a string of security cameras. Eventually, these workers reach their offices and begin their dull day of work. One of the workers, Bobby, goes about his humdrum daily existence until he is approached by his managing director and informed that he has been fired from Spyware Industries for creative thinking.
Bobby returns to his apartment and begins to reminisce about life. He is jobless and his rent is due soon, but he refuses to consider suicide an option, as he is persistent. Bobby instead begins to start working on a prototype he had previously scrapped. If his device, the USB flash drive, was a success, he'd be drowning in wealth and his financial issues would be a thing of the past. However, of course, it's never that easy.
After working relentlessly on the device, Bobby is eventually finished and decides to test the flash drive on his Macintosh 128K, but he soon realizes the computer doesn't have a slot for the device. As a result, Bobby begins to cry like a toddler and drink his sorrow's away, when suddenly, he comes up with an idea. Bobby smash's the device into the computer. Very straightforward.
The computer begins to make deafening and frightening sounds. Unknowingly to Bobby, his device was actually extracting secluded and reclusive data far beyond it's original limitations, eventually delving into the World Wide Web, a series of residential areas, businesses, and numerous browser conduit-like highways. Bobby's prototype USB flash drive was causing a rippling vortex of energy throughout the World Wide Web, and their national hero, W3 Source, attempts to stop it.
After trying to stop the vortex through various means, none prevail. As a result, W3 Source proposes his final plan: a sacrifice. Before sacrificing himself, W3 Source makes his amends and apologizes to his loved ones for leaving abruptly. He activates the self-destruct sequence on his armor and jumps into the vortex, and the subsequent blast ruptures the vortex, thus saving the World Wide Web.
W3 Source awakens inside Bobby's apartment, who is just as confused as Source is.
===Part two===
Terrified, Bobby attempts to kill Source with his Colt Python, but the bullet inflicts no damage on W3's armor and the recoil knocks Bobby out unconscious. A very confused W3 Source decides to head out to Bobby's balcony, where he is exposed to a diverse variety of organisms and the toxic air they pollute. He immediately recognizes these organisms as humans and part of the human race, who are all known for their blatant narcissism, rudeness, ignorance, stupidity, cruelty, and hatred. Suddenly, Bobby regains consciousness.
W3 Source demands answers, but Bobby cannot answer any of W3's questions, as he is just as confused. Still terrified, Bobby grabs his Colt Python again and shoots W3 Source, again inflicting no damage and knocking himself out unconscious.
Bobby this time awake's tied to a chair, and see's W3 Source watching the television. Source notices he's up again and demands answers once again, but Bobby is useless. Source tries to get answers out of him by threatening to throw him out of the balcony but instead, Bobby pee's himself and begins to cry. However, after Bobby gets a message (via pager) from his managing director telling him that he forgot his WWW sketches and that they'll be defecated on if he doesn't retrieve them within the hour, W3 Source is in awe. Believing WWW to be the abbreviation of the World Wide Web, Source demands the location of the sketches, and Bobby tells him Spyware Industries.
W3 Source returned to Bobby's apartment an hour later. He plopped the sketches right on Bobby's table and demanded that he'd be sent back home. A nervous Bobby then told Source that his WWW sketches were sketches of a refurbished waterproof wristlet watch. For a moment, W3 Source stood with a blank expression on his face before he sat down and began worrying. Feeling sympathetic for him, Bobby stated that there could be a way for him to reverse the effects his device and send W3 back home. However, when Bobby went to go retrieve the device, it was unfortunately destroyed.
After asking Source how he came to Earth, Source explains the rippling energy vortex Bobby's device had created. After much thinking, Bobby realizes that Source had to have saved his people. He stopped and ruptured the vortex, subsequently causing a miniature atomic blast within Bobby's device, thus destroying it. W3 Source, now at ease, asks if there is anyway to go back home, in which Bobby tells him he cannot as Bobby doesn't know how to recreate the USB flash drive. Bobby then offers W3 Source a room to stay at, and tells him in order to survive on Earth, he must adapt.
