<br />
''{Open: Zippy's Living Room. Zippy is watching a game show.}''<br />
<br />
'''ANNOUNCER:''' And you just won a brand new car!<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Lucky jerks.<br />
<br />
''{The ZCell rings.}''<br />
<br />

<br />

Hey Zippy,<br />
<br />
What would it be like if you hosted a game show?<br />
<br />
Good jokes,<br><br />
Iori<br />

<br />
''{Zippy reads "Iori" as "Io... Rio... Yori? Whatever."}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' ''{typing}'' Well, Rory, it would be pretty neat if I do say so myself. But first, you need to consider what ''kind'' of game show it should be. After all, I have to artificially extend the run time of this email.<br />
<br />
''{Cut: a set. Zippy appears on it.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' ''{v.o.}'' It could be one of those unwinnable games where you have to pick suitcases or something.<br />
<br />
''{A bunch of suitcases appear in a pile beside Zippy.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' ''{v.o.}'' Or one of those games where you have to match cards or play slots.<br />
<br />
''{A slot machine falls onto the pile of suitcases. It shoots out cards.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' ''{v.o.}'' ''Or'' it could be one of those "physical fitness" game shows.<br />
<br />
''{A bike falls on the pile.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' ''{v.o.}'' Either way, all of those are stupid.<br />
<br />
''{The pile is set on fire.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' ''{v.o.}'' What the money's ''really'' in is the "eat nasty stuff" game shows!<br />
<br />
''{A pile of worms falls onto the fire, dousing it. Zippy walks over and eats a worm.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' ''{v.o.}'' Yes, anything that invokes the primal urge to throw up is ''always'' good in ''my'' book!<br />
<br />
''{The Zippy on the set throws up.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' ''{v.o.}'' But enough about bodily functions.<br />
<br />
''{Cut: the ZCell.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' ''{typing}'' No, what we should focus on is making this ''happen''. In fact... I'll be back soon!<br />
<br />
''{Zippy leaves.}''<br />

LATER...<br />

<br />
''{Cut: a set. Mitch, Kooky and Syd are sitting at podiums set up in a corner, while Zippy stands at a larger podium in the other corner.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Hello, everyone! And welcome to...<br />
<br />
'''AUDIENCE:''' EAT NASTY STUFF!<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' I'm your host, Zippy P. Platypus. Today, we have three very special contestants. Tell us about yourselves! We'll start with you, the echidna.<br />
<br />
'''MITCH:''' I'm Mitchell D. Echidna, and--Zippy, you know me. Why do I have to say this?<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Say it for the audience!<br />
<br />
'''MITCH:''' What audience? That's just a tape player.<br />
<br />
''{Pan over to show the audience is just a tape player.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Fine. Kooky?<br />
<br />
'''KOOKY:''' I'm Kooky Burra, age 32, inventor. I like long walks on the beach and-<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Yeah, cool. And you, Syd?<br />
<br />
'''SYD:''' I'm Syd Platypus, age 28, and I own a pet store.<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Alright! Nice to know. Now, everyone, I guess you've gathered that this show is about eating nasty stuff, right?<br />
<br />
'''MITCH:''' Y-<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Well it is. Alright! Contestant number one, please come up here.<br />
<br />
''{Mitch walks up to Zippy's podium.}''<br />
<br />
'''MITCH:''' Is this a ploy to get me more air time?<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Hardly! Nobody cares about you.<br />
<br />
'''MITCH:''' I ghe-!<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Whatever. Now, see this tray?<br />
<br />
''{Pause.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Oh, right.<br />
<br />
''{Zippy takes out a tray with a cover on it from under his podium.<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' See this tray?<br />
<br />
'''MITCH:''' ... Yes.<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Guess what's under it?<br />
<br />
'''MITCH:''' ... Nasty food?<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Yep!<br />
<br />
''{Zippy opens the cover. Underneath is a squiggly black worm.<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' This is the giant millipede. Coming from South America, this little guy sprays noxious chemicals from its 'twees. The question is... will you eat it?<br />
<br />
'''MITCH:''' No.<br />
<br />
''{Mitch walks away.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Fine. Jerk. Contestant number two!<br />
<br />
''{Kooky walks up to the podium.}''<br />
<br />
'''KOOKY:''' Hm?<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' ''{grabs a spider from the wall}'' Will you eat this smooshed-up spider?<br />
<br />
'''KOOKY:''' N- no. No I won't.<br />
<br />
''{Kooky walks off.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' ... Fine. Contestant numb-<br />
<br />
'''SYD:''' I'm out.<br />
<br />
''{Syd walks off.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' Great! My game show is a flop.<br />
<br />
''{The set falls over to reveal he was actually in his backyard.}''<br />
<br />
'''ZIPPY:''' I can't believe I made this for nothing.<br />
