Plot
Randy fights a robot, Smoke Bombs to temporarily escape from it, and enters the NinjaNomicon in order to get help. He uses the chain-sickle but failed, then used a shovel on the robot and won. He finds the fart box and keeps it to show Howard later. In science class, Mrs. Driscoll tells Randy and Howard that they'll fail science class unless they win the science fair. Meanwhile, Marci suggests that McFist and Bash work together on Bash's science project. Neither are up to the idea, though, and McFist just has Viceroy build a machine for Bash. Later that evening at Randy's house in his room, Randy shows Howard the fart box, and Howard played with it the whole night. He used the Fart Box in the Norrisville High Science Fair in order to pass science. Later on at Norrisville High the Science Fair at the gym, Principal Slimovitz and Mrs. Driscoll and her husband Jerry Driscoll as the judges. However, Mrs. Driscoll gave him and Howard an F for it. Howard angrily stormed to their project and pounded his fist on the fart box.
Trivia
- The title and plot is an allusion to the 1978 comedy horror film Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. The plot point of the killer potatoes being a mutated scientific experiment comes from the Killer Tomatoes sequels and the animated series, where the Killer Tomatoes were revealed to be the mutant army of the mad scientist, Professor Mortimer "Putrid" T. Gangrene.
- The mutated potatoes in this episode are similar to the Phineas and Ferb episode "Lotsa Latkes" where the potatoes were also mutated by accident.
- Bash complains that Mrs. Driscoll doesn't know how to count to C, a reference to Randy's math book having the title Math: Easy as 1-2-C.
