Plot[]
This short is 1 minute, 48 seconds long. The short begins with Jimmy sitting in his bedroom's computer desk working on an invention. The device turns out to be the Hypercube, which he then shows to Goddard. Jimmy demonstrates that it can store an infinite number of items in a small space while pulling out a bowling ball and a sombrero that he then throws on Goddard's head. Judy then calls Jimmy down for dinner with Jimmy obeying with the hypercube in tow while letting Goddard have a wrench. At the dinner table, Hugh passes Jimmy a large plate of cream corn. Jimmy says it already looks digested after Hugh says it's good for the digestion. Judy tells Jimmy to eat the meal as it's good for him. Hugh then whispers to Jimmy to pretend the corn is good tasting but declares that all of Judy's food is good tasting when he sees that she heard him, causing her to lose her frown. Hugh then asks his wife about her day who then says she rebuilt an upstairs compressor while Jimmy uses the distraction to scoop the cream corn into the hypercube. Jimmy then pretends he ate it all but then Hugh scoops another large plate for him. Hugh then asks Judy to look into a problem with his car which lets Jimmy scoop the second plate into the hypercube, but this time Hugh notices the cube before Jimmy could hide it. Hugh thinks the cube is a brain teaser puzzle and takes it out of Jimmy's hand with Jimmy trying to stop his dad. Hugh then says he has figured it out and presses a button that ejects all of the cream corn, covering the room and the family with the corn but says in pride that he won. Jimmy then tastes the corn and says it actually tastes good. The short ends saying to play the Hypercorn game on jimmyneutron.com.
