Plot

Meanwhile, three computer bugs (Buzzed, Wired, and Frazzled) try to eat the CyberWorld through its number coding. When Phig learns about them, she goes on the hunt for the destructive computer bugs while presenting various short premade clips of computer-animated productions, such as scenes from Antz and Homer³ from The Simpsons.

In the end, Buzzed, Wired and Frazzled create a black hole (the one seen in "Homer³"), which kills them. Phig got almost swallowed up in the hole, but not before her "knight in cyber armour," technician Hank, reboots the entire system just as she gets sucked up into the vortex. Phig concludes the movie by explaining to the audience that none of the events caused by the bugs ever occurred. She attempts to summon her battle gear to prove her point, only to receive a pink bunny outfit in return (a similar trick the bugs played on her in the film's midsection).
