Plot
It's Free Milkshake day at Jerry's and Ginger was excited and took out some curly straws. However the straws were very smelly due to Hank not cleaning the straws. Then, the Landlord comes in and takes a selfie for Fastapic. He brags about his thousands of Fastapic friends. Tom gets jealous of the Landlord's fame, so he starts up an account and starts making fake pictures of him doing difficult stunts.

Meanwhile at the cafe, Ginger is impatient to get his milkshake, but Hank insists that Tom gives his opening speech. They find pictures of him on Fastapic, and Angela is worried for him because the app was supposedly dangerous. Ginger heard a playground rumor that it "takes over your brain and sucks it into the app." Angela, especially distraught, ran back to the garage, since Tom was close to a million friends.

She finds Tom taking a selfie of him dressed like a Neanderthal. Angela begs him to delete the app, but Tom refused and posted one last selfie. As soon as it was posted, he reached 1 million friends, and dropped unconscious. He finds himself in an endless world of floating pictures. So to rescue him, Angela posted a selfie and the app sucked her in as well.

Angela pleads with him to go back to the real world, and gives him a fake milkshake. Tom decides to try and find a way out. However, he couldn't leave, because he had reached one million friends. So, they start posting gross selfies of them near a toilet to drop a few friends. Soon enough, many people start unfriending him and they are sucked out of the Fastapic world.

Tom rushes to the cafe to give his opening speech, but was cut off by Rhonda, who closed the cafe. Everyone was disappointed that Tom was that late, but Tom finds an ice cream truck, which takes away their frowns. Tom takes a selfie, but realizes that he made it back to 1 million friends, and is sucked back in.
