Plot
Constantly feuding brothers Stu and Drew each shoot their own funny videos of their families, in hopes of winning a cash prize from a TV game show. At the same time, the Pickles family is setting up the house for a surprise party for Stu's birthday.

While Drew begins filming Angelica, Stu isn't having much success as Tommy is tricked by Angelica into thinking he will be given a quarter if he does nothing in front of his father's "clamcorder" (camcorder).

Finally the family manages to surprise Stu at his party. However Stu slips on one of Angelica's roller skates and collides violently with Drew, causing both brothers to fall into a large basin of water and get covered with birthday cake. A fallen quarter rolls to Tommy and he delightedly picks it up.

Lou who had secretly be filming them, sends his own entry to the show. Later he and the rest of the family and friends are invited to the show with Lou's entry being announced the winner, giving him the cash prize.

A bruised and battered Stu and Drew are in hospital watching from their beds. Stu grumbles that it wasn't like their kids did anything funny anyway. However they see Tommy and Angelica doing funny things on the show itself, which makes both brothers scream in frustration.
