Sewer Inspector. By its very title, you know this episode won’t be pretty, and it isn’t. While Micro-Algae Man is perhaps the dirtiest episode of the series, this is easily the nastiest. It starts in the sewer. The sewer of San Francisco, with a few million cockroaches and some rats as well. If these hundred year old sewers aren’t inspected regularly and the mortar not applied to repair them, they will collapse, taking the streets along with them, and that wouldn’t be pretty.
Disaster Clean-Up Crew Member. But it’s the second segment that is the worst. The basement of a house in Queens is the site of a disaster. It’s not just any disaster, but one where the whole street’s sewer lines have backed up and the contents have exploded into the unsuspecting homeowner’s basement. It is horrid. It’s so bad that the episode contains a warning up front about the content you’re about to view (the only one I can recall seeing). It’s some of the funniest bits that are in the series, but don’t watch while you’re eating.
Demolition Worker. The final segment is easier to stomach, as we see a crew demolish (or deconstruct, the words are used somewhat interchangeably) an old office building. Apparently some 95% of the materials will be recycled, and that makes for a profitable business. Like the Roadkill Collector segment in the Roadkill Cleaner episode, it’s short and to the point, and perhaps not as good as some others, but you can’t win them all.
