The NEST letter
A child writes to a magazine telling them a fictional brand of baby food is real. The NEST never appears. The letter is never answered. The episode ends.
The single most parasocial thing ever put on television, and it is a joke about wanting the writers to confirm that a fictional place is real. An eight-year-old asking to be told the world is real, dressed as a gag about a cereal. Everything on this site happens because a child did not accept the terms.
