Premise
A vocabulary game, it is about a slob that lives in his house. In each episode of the show, the slob will randomly do something like eating food, and the off-screen woman narrate what he is doing. The slob will then do something to disgust the viewers, and the woman will ask the viewers and give them 3 choices, on what he is doing. An incorrect answer the woman mentions is used at the end to refer to the slob disappearing in a cloud of smoke, and the woman will tell the viewers "no Slobs were hurt/harmed in the making of this show/segment."
