A Tribute to Devil Doll is a special production that initially streamed on the Gizmoplex on October 14, 2022. It is preceded by the short Balance Beam for Girls. The main feature is a presentation of Episode 818. At the point of the original episode's commercial breaks, there is either a Gizmoplex sponsor Madvertisement or an intermission/new host segment. The special is followed by M. Waverly and Growler reminding everyone about the Halloween Cosplay Contest and The Stinger (trademark pending), hosted by Tim Ryder and with guests Jonah Ray, Rebecca Hanson, and Hampton Yount. During this, they play some Trivia Murder Party.
The Special[]
Host Segments[]
Segment One: Tom and Crow tell Emily about how useful transferring your soul to inanimate objects and that they've done it many times. Emily finds it unpleasant that they've done so with her shoes, and is troubled by the theological implications of robots having souls.
The grandest reunion of all
Segment Two: Tom and Crow are impressed by Vorelli's showmanship. Emily expresses her skepticism regarding the validity of hypnotism and insists it's more likely that the volunteers merely play along. Tom commands her to "Sleeeeeeep!" and she immediately becomes unconscious. Crow explains to the viewers that he and Tom have had the ability to influence Emily like this for some time, which comes in useful for skipping out on chores. After Emily awakens and continues her debunking talk, Tom and Crow demonstrate a variety of post-hypnotic trigger words which cause Emily to make a fool of herself.
Segment Three: Jonah is going overboard with Halloween Horror Month as as he pretends to be a vampire baseball umpire. His puns get on the nerves of Tom and Crow, who bluntly tell him to cut it out.
Segment Four: Emily sees the movie as a cautionary tale on the danger of spending too much time with puppets. Tom was turned on by the leggy toaster strudel. Meanwhile, Crow has more fun with post-hypnotic trigger words. Synthia, also responding to a post-hypnotic suggestion, fears that her butt is missing. Pearl is unsympathetic.
