I know this one. It is my favorite one, which is why I can recall so much about it. I wish I had it on DVD.
Yes, a kid watching commercials for the cereal. I don't remember the name of the cereal, but the box had an endorsement along the lines of, "Captain Sarcastic says..." The phrase ended with something like "stuff it," but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the phrase used.
Anyway, a giant robot cockroach shows up and terrorizes the city. It's a classic Godzilla-like scene.
The boy runs away from it on the street and bumps right into Captain Sarcastic. I can almost remember what he said. Even though we quoted it on a regular basis in college, I may be off on the exact wording. It went something like:
What's the matter?
Scared of a little... buuuuuug? *obnoxious getting into kid's face*
Ooh, I'm so scared.
Ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha....<splat> *giant foreleg of mechanical cockroach impales Captain Sarcastic*
I just loved it.
In the end, the kid climbed up on top of the giant bug, ripped off a hatch, and found a real cockroach pulling levers and laughing maniacally. The kid squishes it.
Damn, now I must start a quest to find these episodes on DVD. My wife might not enjoy this show as much as I did, but it was some fine stuff.

In theory, numerous monkeys with keyboards can produce Shakespeare. IMDb members prove this false.
