  • Do We Need 'Em was a feature where Karl would interview a scientist/animal expert and ask them if the world really needs a particular animal, usually by trying to back them into a corner and convince them that the animal in question "doesn't do anything".
    Karl ended the feature after four installments as he was convinced that scientists were conspiring against him and would never agree to rid the world of any animal.

    I love the fact that the theme song has absolutely NOTHING to do with the feature itself.
