Television Episode
Seth Gold mail orders a new remote control, which appears to be a universal remote; it works on both the stereo and the TV. He's even more impressed when he pauses his sister with it. He begins to test out the remote in other ways, such as changing the color contrast of his fish and rewinding and fast forwarding people, all the while ignoring various warnings from the remote's manufacturer that it is not a toy. After Seth pauses his whole family so that they can stop nagging at him, the remote begins to malfunction and he can't un-pause his family. With the help of his best friend, Seth manages to un-pause his family. His friend suggests that they throw the remote away, as its too dangerous. That night, Seth and his friend throws the remote in a trashcan, but as soon as his friend leaves, Seth goes back to retrieve the remote. The next day, after seeing that Seth still had the remote, his friend tries to forcibly take it away from him, but Seth literally stops him. The remote malfunctions again, and Seth presses random buttons, hoping one would work against his friend. Finally, he pushes a button (presumably the POWER button) and the world around Seth disappears, leaving him in an empty black void. He sees the remote's manufacturer there with him, and he begs him for help, but the manufacturer merely repeats that he warned him that the remote wasn't a toy and leaves the boy to his fate.
