"Weird Delivery" is the first segment of the eighteenth episode of the Disney Channel animated series, Kiff.
Synopsis[]
Kiff and Barry want to go home but get sucked into a strange adventure.
Plot[]
While hanging out at Reggie's house, Kiff and Barry are invited by Reggie to try out Reggie's World, a virtual reality simulation game he has programmed. At Kiff's suggestion, Reggie configures the game to simulate flight. Kiff and Barry put on virtual reality headsets and see poorly-rendered versions of themselves flying through a glitchy virtual world. They then have to leave, as Terri is coming to pick them up.
Outside, Kiff briefly stares back at Reggie's bedroom window and tells Barry she has a strange feeling that Reggie is watching them. Terri picks up Kiff and Barry in a pedicab from her pizza delivery job and tells them she has to make one more delivery before she can take them home. When they reach the customer's mansion, Terri sees that he has paid extra for tableside delivery, meaning she must go inside and deliver his pizza to him personally. As Terri is busy texting a friend, Kiff and Barry decide to complete the delivery themselves.
Inside the mansion, Kiff and Barry are led to the dining room through a hallway full of catapult-related memorabilia. They learn that the customer is George Meredith Willows, the elderly CEO of GMW Catapults, who makes them use a miniature catapult at the end of his dining table to catapult pizza slices one-by-one onto his plate. Kiff and Barry grow impatient and ask Willows for his payment. Annoyed, Willows tells them to follow him through a secret entrance. Kiff and Barry eventually find themselves in a dark room, where they suddenly feel the floor move and see the roof open. They then realize that they are standing on a giant catapult, and that Willows intends to catapult them out of his mansion. In another room, Willows activates the catapult, propelling Kiff and Barry into the sky.
Expecting to fall to their deaths, Kiff and Barry say their goodbyes to each other, but then notice that it is taking unusually long for them to hit the ground. They discover that they are somehow flying rather than falling, and proceed to have fun gliding over Table Town. Kiff asks how what is happening is possible and suddenly finds herself and Barry back in Reggie's bedroom, as they have actually been playing Reggie's World the whole time. Amazed by their experience, Kiff and Barry lift Reggie up in celebration. The scene zooms out and is revealed to be a simulation on Reggie's computer in the real world, where Reggie has been playing Reggie's World in his bedroom by himself.

Trivia[]
- Opening Sponsor: GMW Catapults
- CGI is used for the first time, making Kiff the third Disney TVA animated show to use CGI, the other two were Pickle and Peanut with "Yellow Snow" and Big City Greens with "Level Up" and "Virtually Christmas".
- The 3D virtual reality sequence was animated by Nic Smal himself using Autodesk Maya.[1]
- Hanging on the wall of Reggie's bedroom is a poster for Jonty Cylon and the Sacred Cup, a parody of the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
- Series creator Nic Smal considers this episode to be his favorite episode of the series so far.[2]
Continuity[]
- This episode is considered to be non-canon, seeing how it was revealed at the very end that this whole episode was basically Reggie in his own virtual world. Especially since Reggie also announced the Opening Sponsor.
- George Meredith Willows also shares many physical traits with Reggie, as well as Reggie's interest in catapults (among other medieval weaponry).
- This is the first appearance of Tuft Pierre after it was only mentioned in "Principal Dance Socks", "Two Truths and a Bunny", and "Fresh Outta Grandmas". Though it only appears as one of the assets from Reggie's virtual world.
- A crude instrumental version "Wings of a Riddle" (from "Everyday I'm Riddlin' Riddlin'") is heard in the background while Kiff and Barry are flying through a glitchy virtual world.
