Two potatoes, a male and a female, are seen in a crude hospital-ish room. The female, MOOFIN OOFIN THE POTATO, is (despite having no hands) holding two tiny potatoes. Her husband, SOOFIN OOFIN THE POTATO, is admiring his newborn twins.

SOOFIN: This one I will name... Goofin! After my 37th uncle Foofin!

MOOFIN: How is that named after him?

SOOFIN: Uh... it... just is.

MOOFIN: And what about this one?

SOOFIN: Uh... how about Bob?

MOOFIN: No! Bob is too normal. How about Moofin, after me?

SOOFIN: But you're a girl.

MOOFIN: But that could be a boy's name too.

SOOFIN: Fine... but I like Bob!

MOOFIN: No!

SOOFIN: How about... Boboofin?

MOOFIN: Uh... okay... Moofin Boboofin.

SOOFIN: Why not Boboofin Moofin?

MOOFIN: Cause that just doesn't sound right.

SOOFIN: Fine. Twin boy potatoes! Goofin Oofin and Moofin Boboofin Oofin!

As we begin to follow the early life of these two young potatoes, we see them out and about, meeting other young Things.

RANDOM THING #1: Hey, what are your names?

GOOFIN: I'm Goofin Oofin!

RANDOM THING #2: Goofin Oofin the Potato, you mean?

GOOFIN: Yep!

MOOFIN: And I'm Moofin Boboofin Oofin the Potato!

A bunch of the Things stare at him, some even laugh.

RANDOM THING #3: That is the weirdest name I have ever heard! Moofin Boboog-- Oofin Moob-- I can't even say it!

MOOFIN looks at them with a sort of hurt look on his face.

MOOFIN: You mean the oddest name you've ever heard, right?

RANDOM THING #3: No, definitely the weirdest.

He and a bunch of other Things laugh and they begin to walk off.

Well, I'll see you later, Goofin and... Moofin Oobfloffin!

They laugh again. GOOFIN looks at MOOFIN.

GOOFIN: I'm sure they'll get your name right eventually.

Several scenes of the potatoes' lives are seen. Every one of them involves GOOFIN hanging out with friends, but whenever MOOFIN tries to join, they say something like, "Go away, Moofbofin!" GOOFIN never joins in with the taunting, but he doesn't really stick up for his brother either. One of these scenes takes place in a place called Brightitty Bright Bright, which is a beautiful forest park with picnic benches and Throw-Into-the-Thing, which is a sport similar to our frisbee golf. Later, a scene is shown where MOOFIN sees a bunch of other Things leaving from Thingville in the direction of Up There Mountain after GOOFIN's house had just exploded.

MOOFIN: Hey! Hey! Wait!

None of the Things hear him. He goes back into his house, getting madder every second.

It's my brother's house that exploded, I should have been invited to be on this search party, but noooo, 'we can't invite him, nobody can say his name!' Goofin didn't even think of inviting me... This is all his fault! All of it! Everyone thought he was so cool, all he had to do was say once, 'stop teasing Moofin for his name, he can join us,' and none of this would have ever HAPPENED!! Then people would NOTICE ME!!! I--

There is a knock at the door. He stops raging, suddenly curious. He opens the door, but nobody's there.

Typical.

He's about to close the door, but then notices a piece of paper, which looks like it had been torn off a sheet of notebook paper, on the ground. He picks it up and reads it (with difficulty) out loud. "Doo peepole not lik yoo? R u wantin too bee notisd? Is yu madd enuft two b evul? Then cum to Elafantt Iylund andd I wil giv yiu a gob! Luv, Evil Ned". He looks up with a hopeful determination, then walks off.
