9. Mister Softee

Complete story — includes the ending

A jingle from Mister Softee trucks triggers traumatic memories for Larry. He reveals to his therapist Dr. Thurgood ( Fred Melamed ) the traumatic experience: when Larry was a boy, he was playing strip poker with a girl in her father's Mister Softee truck; when the father finds them, he ejects a naked Larry from the truck, causing people on the street to laugh at him. Later, during a softball championship game, the jingle causes Larry to make a costly error (similar to that of Bill Buckner 's error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, where the ball rolls between his legs with the winning run coming to the plate that loses his team the game ). He also loses his libido, affecting his relationship with his girlfriend Jennifer ( Ana Gasteyer ). As a result of his error, Larry's softball team captain and mechanic Yari ( Robert Smigel ) refuses to fix his car, causing the passenger seat to become unstable. For Jeff's birthday, Susie asks Larry to get a Mookie Wilson -autographed baseball at a card signing show. At the show, Larry runs into Dr. Thurgood and Bill Buckner, the latter of whom Larry asks for advice and befriends. However, Buckner loses the Wilson-autographed baseball after missing a throw from Larry. The unstable seat in Larry's car causes Jennifer ( Ana Gasteyer ) to have an orgasm. Larry later discovers that Dr. Thurgood billed him for their conversation at the signing event, and confronts him at his office to no avail. Leon, wearing glasses, manages to convince Dr. Thurgood to drop the bill and steals his Mookie Wilson-autographed ball and gives it to Larry. Susie asks Larry to give her a ride to her cousin's burning building, causing her to have an orgasm in front of a disgusted Larry before the car crashes into a Mister Softee truck. At the burning building, a trapped woman is forced to throw her baby out of the window, and a passerby Bill Buckner makes a diving catch to save the baby and is hailed as a hero.
