E2 Rufus Versus Rufus 2010-06-18 · 30 min Rufus faces a familiar-looking enemy as he tries to prevent Dr. Mu from taking over the multiverse.

Just another day for the hapless TV presenter.

And with his profits he is constructing a giant, pizza-shaped starship called the Death Pizza. Can Rufus escape the clutches of Dr. Mu's pizza-troopers, rescue the princess, destroy the Death Pizza and save the Earth? Well, maybe, but only if he can remember the ingredients of a Four Seasons.
