- For Lee and Stan's Anniversary Ray and Debra provide some entertainment by making fun of Marie and Frank.
- Thinking it would be hilarious to show the party goers a typical day in the life of Frank and Marie, Ray and Debra do a dead-on impersonation of the two that brings down the house at the party. But, when Frank and Marie turn the tables and do a "Ray and Debra" imitation, Ray and Debra don't find it funny at all.
- Stan and Lee are Frank and Marie's good friends and are celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary. Frank is supposed to be writing a speech for them, But Frank backs out when Robert won't help him at all. Marie turns to Ray and gets him to take up the challenge. Ray is out of any ideas so turns to Debra for help.
Ray and Debra write a skit for Lee (Debra Mooney) and Stan's (Victor Raider-Wexler) anniversary party, in which they compare Stan and Lee's normal marriage to Marie and Frank's unusual one. Robert tries to warn Ray and Debra not to make fun of their parents in front of their friends and family, but they ignore him and collect all of their embarrassing stories over the years. Robert continues to insist that this is very risky, but Debra thinks this will be fun.
They include stories like the time when Marie sewed Frank's fly shut, when she was sick and tired of Frank sitting on the couch open and unzipped. It didn't work as Frank came home, ripped off his pants and hung them on the front doorknob. The time when Frank and Marie drove through their front wall. The time when Frank gave out condoms for Halloween. The time when Marie and Frank fought for a week when they were literally comparing apples and oranges. They are a big hit at the party. Frank and Marie pretend to enjoy the entire skit and laugh at their jokes in front of their friends. Robert is astounded that people love Raymond no matter what he does.
Most of the guests leave after dinner and Stan and Lee suggest Marie and Frank to get prepared as they might have to do a skit for Debra and Ray's marriage anniversary. Frank says that imitating Debra and Ray would be easy. Marie and Frank imitate Debra and Ray, and they get offended. Marie says that Debra struggles to heat soup out of a can and calls Ray an idiot for not helping around the house. Frank calls Ray an over-pampered mamma's boy, who gets hurt while typing on his keyboard and always has to play the victim in his nasal voice. Robert, Stand and Lee cannot stop laughing at the impromptu skit put on by Marie and Frank.
Debra and Ray leave without saying goodbye to anyone. They are followed back home by Frank, Marie and Robert. Ray accuses his parents of not having a sense of humor and says that they didn't like Debra's skit and hence went out of their way to embarrass Debra and Ray. Frank and Marie say that they were being funny just like them. When Robert accuses Ray and Debra of being too sensitive and not able to take a joke, they pretend that they can. Robert makes them realize that when Debra and Ray did it was fun, but that doesn't make what Marie and Frank did a planned counterattack on them. Frank and Marie say that all the things Debra and Ray described were hysterical and true and they show that they are able to laugh at themselves.
After Marie and Frank leave, Ray and Debra start fighting over their insults to each other.
