Wally is awakened abruptly and is forced into the living room to partake in a feast of sugary cereal and J.D.’s recreation of the Saturday Morning cartoon experience.

J.D. and Wally have been friends since early childhood and over the years J.D. has become more and more of a jerk. In this episode both geeks are tasked with house sitting for J.D.’s Uncle. This is just the opportunity he needs to mess with Wally. As each new occurrence of nastiness continues, we start to see that there might be a method to this sickening behavior.
J.D. is looking forward to some alone time with Halle Berry and the movie “Cat Woman”. The film ends up ruining his experience and he once again takes his anger out on Wally. After ranting and raving for hours on how the movie wasted his day, J.D. takes matters into his own hands by calling the studio. To Wally’s dismay, J.D. returns with a smile on his face and a seat on the focus group making the Green Lantern movie and we all know how that film…
J.D. returns back to the apartment after a visit from “Fly on the Wall” Comics. The comic book store owner Dekker has shown him all kinds of viral videos including the infamous “Lightning Bolt” film. J.D. then starts to recreate the video by launching random objects at Wally’s face. Finally fed up with his juvenile behavior, Wally confronts him in the back yard. Little does he know J.D. has been running a camera the entire time.
Orson ends up roping both J.D. and Wally into going to a surprise screening of “Serenity”. On the trip to the movie we get to learn a little bit about Orson and what makes him tick as a scifi fan. They finally arrive to the cinema to find out Orson has once again been defeated by entertainment programming.
Wally decides to have the entire gang over to play “Hero Clix”. He even invites local comic book store owner “Dekker”. The game becomes extremely heated and tense as J.D. comes off the sidelines and into the fray. He suggests that they play for keeps and the action begins. The gang then struggles to save their friendship and miniatures from utter destruction.
J.D. and Wally receive a call about the rent being overdue from the landlord who happens to be J.D.’s uncle. Neither of them wants to pay the back rent, so they both agree to a cartoon marathon to decide who will dish out the cash. The objective is simple, whoever stays up the longest gets to maintain their cash. Ready, Set, Go!
“Hero Envy” is filmed before a studio audience, literally! In this episode the gang finds themselves smack dab in the middle of a sitcom, with a cheesy opening, canned laughter, and commercials. The lock on the bathroom door ends up causing the whole gang grief as one by one they become trapped inside the smelly restroom.
