Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Merry Monster introduces today's sponsors. Telly tries to set up the word of the day on an easel - "BREAD" - but Merry wants to take over, thinking she can make the word scary. Telly scoffs, until Merry shouts the word and shakes around, frightening Telly away. (Merry: "Huh, I think I did it!")
 	SCENE 1 	Telly regains his composure and tells Merry that bread isn't meant to be scary. Merry imagines a hypothetical sandwich where the bread starts making strange noises, which begins to freak Telly out. She eventually shouts "BREEEEEAAAAAAADDDD!" again and Telly becomes frightened and runs away.
