The Telethon of Evil was a TV show hosted by Dr. Doofenshmirtz to raise money because with the current cost of evil, the money that his ex-wife Charlene Doofenshmirtz gives him isn't enough. However the only people who donated money were the "Inator Corporation" (Sid and the Guys) who donated $23. It hadn't received donations even after Doofenshmirtz said "If no one calls in the next few second the platypus gets it!" Lawrence Fletcher thought that the Give Me Your Money Today song was a good satirical interpretation of telethons, and that's why he considered this show his favorite one.
