"I'm the Government"[]
MIKE (dressed as Uncle Sam)
I'm the government
I'm the government
I'm filled with bloats and perks
I'm the government
I'm the government
I'm the reason nothing works
Tom Servo: (holding several dollars) Boy, I tell you, it's not easy bein' the working man, but at least I've earned an honest day's wage and I can-
Mike Nelson: (taking Servo's money) Thank you!
TOM: Heeyyy!
"I'm the Crime Bill"[]
CROW (holding a gun)
I'm the crime bill
Bang-Bang!
I'm the crime bill
Bang-Bang!
I get shot at every day
I'm the crime bill
Bang-Bang!
I'm the crime bill
Bang-Bang!
I'm opposed by the NRA
Bang-Bang!
Crow T. Robot: (makes dying noises) Ack, Ahh!
The Deficit Sketch[]
Mike Nelson: (dressed as a little kid and speaking adorably) Hello Mr. Senator. My daddy's out of work, and he says it's because of the deficit. So I saved some money in my piggy bank, and I'm going to give it to you to lower the deficit. If an 8-year-old kid can save money, how come the government can't?

Behind-the-scenes[]
- The revue is parody of topical-but-ultimately-toothless political satire, such as the works of Mark Russell or Capitol Steps.
- The title of the revue is a take-off on the Sherman Brothers song "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from the film Mary Poppins.
