He then hears Wendy Testaburger greet him, which makes him vomit {{color|lightgreen|green}} barf in front of him and to both his sides in bursts.

He then tilts it to the right and begins kissing it before straightening it and rubbing his hands on and kissing it again before the blue background gradually wipes away the scene and the Channel 4 logo wipes in. | ||
