### Wraparound Segments

The show also features three other segments which wrap around the main plot. These consist of:

* **Bongo and McGillicuddy Shorts** – A series of spin-off animated shorts based on Hank’s favourite TV on TTAF-era, depicting on a pair of loose cannon cops named Detective Bongo (a human), and Detective McGillicuddy (an orangutan/ape), who played by their own rules when out on the streets catching criminals. Their loose cannonish behaviours rarely impress the old police chief, Buzzcut. Until the new Commissioner Humnick believes that Bongo and McGillicuddy is truly a force for good. Unlike Chief Buzzcut when Bongo and McGillicuddy is needed, Humnick will gladly allow them to apprehend criminals that are considered highly dangerous and extremely difficult to apprehend.
* **Mars Pop Shorts** – A series of spin-off animated shorts was based on the game with Sam and Anna with their assistant J-Bot and E-Bot. The characters also have redesigns
* **Bella & Amadaeus TV** - A Program With Sketches and Music Videos
