## Coverage

### Cold Opening

The episode opens with Rubber Ball wanting to tell Soapy a joke, but Soapy does not respond which angers him and makes him leave. Soapy laughs at this, calling him a loser and being glad she didn't hear the joke. Tablet then walks in, and crushes Soapy. The intro then plays, which begins the show.

### Tablet's Introduction and Team Choosing

After Tablet kills Soapy, Windows XP interrupts him being curious about what happened to Soapy. After Tablet is made angry from this, he forms the teams for the game.
