Background[]
After Bud Bundy sneaks into the party held by the group, Alpha, he finds out that it is actually an idiot party, where the members have invited the dumbest people that they could find and plan to mock them.
When he finds his sister, Kelly there, he tries to convince her that she's been duped and that she is at an idiot party, where she and the other guests will soon be mocked by those who believe they are highly intelligent. She refuses to believe him, thinking that he is simply jealous that he wasn't invited. To prove his point, he takes her around and has her introduce herself to fellow guests.
The first guest she meets is Delbert, who is a public school teacher in Los Angeles. Although surprised and slightly concerned, she tries to play it off and believes that Delbert is just a substitute teacher. She also meets Ralph who is a network executive, which concerns her even more. The final straw for her is when she saw that the winner from last year was Vice President Dan Quale.
As she is about leave in tears, feeling embarrassed that she is being duped by nerds, Bud catches up with her and reminds her that she can't keep running from her problems. Instead she needs to settle things the Bundy way: "Destroy their superior smiles with sheer pointless violence!" . Kelly then calls out to her fellow guests and tells them that they need to punch a nerd for tricking them.
Delbert is last seen fleeing the area with Ralph and several others, as Bud and Kelly brawl with the remaining attendees.
