In the land of the giants, game shows rule the TV schedules - Fee Fi Fo Yum being the most popular. It is broadcast on GTV (Giant Television) and also features a number of spoof advertisements for pretend products used by giants. These include: "The Guff Muffler" (a device for muffling flatulent giants); Bot-Buster (beans for giants who lack the ability to guff, also comes in a Blocked bum gum and a bubble mixture for a giant's yearly bath); "Grimo" (a stain creating washing powder); "Stinks" (a giant deodorant available in cabbage, dung, cheese and sewage fragrances) and "Nan In a Can" (a canned meat product like Spam, made entirely of old ladies). There were also weather reports from Windy Wendy, GTV's resident weather girl (who's also Brian's crush) and Jim Elastic provided giant-sized exercise routines.

Fast-Food challenges
Chop Chop: Once a Friday night, Brian orders a chow mein from the Chinese take-away, however the take-away accidentally put peas in, and Brian hates peas. So it's their challenge using the chopsticks to place the peas on their team's plate. The chow mein with the least peas will then take Brian's mind off eating them for a while.
Feed Me: Brian's favorite food apart from humunchies is sprouts and meatballs. So it's their challenge using the catapults made out of matches and plasters to fire the sprouts (for the orange team) and the meatballs (for the green team) into Brian's mouth. That flying feast will then take Brian's mind off eating them for a while.
Keep Me Sweet: When Brian watches Fee Fi Fo Yum he loves a great cup of tea, however no ordinary brew, he loves it sickly sweet (the challenge's motto is the sweeter the brew, the better for you). So it's their challenge using the teaspoons attached to matches to fire the sugar cubes into the cup. The sweetest cup of tea will then take Brian's mind off eating them for a while. (A similar challenge named "Beans On Toast" was later created.)
Next challenge
Les' (Des') tasty challenge: Brian has sneaked in Les' worst food and Les must eat it up in 30 seconds. Before the challenge both teams have to come up with an answer and one with the closest answer by the time runs out will win the next 5 second life-line.
Jiscaw challenges
Lucky Numbers: Brian has a lucky number and wants the humunchies to make it for him. So he's taken out all his fridge magnets and placed them in the lime jelly. 3 humunchies (1 in the bowl, and the other 2 working it out) must scavenge the numbers and place them on the tinfoil in front of them. The 1st team to create the number will win the next 5 second life-line. (A similar challenge named "Alphabet Soup" was later created.)
Chip Of The Old Block: A lonely Brian has made himself little buddies however since they're made out of spuds they're called "Spuddies" (each one named "Bob" as a running gag). 1 will choose which part to place whilst in the tomato soup and the other 2 choosing it where it goes. The 1st team to make an identical Spuddy will win the 5 second life-line. Each one is similar to Mr Potato Head.
Biccie Break: Before Brian got the chance to try his "Choccie Gob" biscuits during the break, he accidentally spilled it in custard (Blomage in one episode). So 1 humunchie much search for each piece of Choccie Gob (either Milk or White) and pass it to their 2 teammates. The 1st to make their biscuit will win the 5 second life-line.

Ad Analyis: This will test their memory for this challenge. They must look at 2 gruesome Ads and Les will answer the questions. The first to buzz in will answer the question 1st. Get it right and they win a 2 second life-line. However get it wrong, hesitate or failure to answer, will mean they have to pass it over to the other team, if they make the same mistakes, nobody wins the life-line.
