Transcript

{The scene begins with Jerry sitting on his couch, watching TV.}

ANNOUNCER: "Walking with Mormons" will be right back after these commercials.

JERRY: Ha, ha, HA! Those craaazy Mormons.

{Skullbuggy wheels in.}

JERRY: Oh, hey, Skully.

{Suddenly, a laugh track plays.}

JERRY: Wh- what's that?

SKULLB: A studio audience. They followed me home.

{Laughter.}

SKULLB: {yells at camera} OH CUT IT OUT.

{The audience boos.}

SKULLB: Mmf.

JERRY: Want me to get the shotgun?

SKULLB: Gladly.

{The theme song plays. Listen here.}

{Cut: SkullB's Apartment. Jerry is lounging on the couch, watching TV. SkullB enters holding a bag marked "VIDERO GAMES".}

JERRY: Well, look who's back.

SKULLB: Hey, Jerry. I got something cool!

JERRY: What is it and how much money did you spend?

SKULLB: It's a brand new video game!

JERRY: Welp, looks like one of us isn't eating today. But seriously, what game?

SKULLB: It's called--

{Closeup on the box.}

SKULLB: --Super Fight-Type Brothers! It's this awesome fighting game!

JERRY: Hm. Looks appealing.

SKULLB: It's addicting, they say!

JERRY: How oddly foreshadowing.

SKULLB: Oh, way to ruin the plot! Now we've got to shift it somehow!

JERRY: How about a B-plot involving my wacky girlfriend?

SKULLB: Girlfriend? Pfft, you couldn't get a girlfriend even if you covered yourself in glue! And believe me, I tried. It hurt.

JERRY: Oh, shut up. She's coming over now.

{Enter: Casey.}

CASEY: Hey, guys! Looking sharp and apathetic as ever, Jer-bear!

JERRY: Never call me that again. Ever.

CASEY: What's wrong with a nickname, Jer-bear?

SKULLB: Yeah, Jer-bear? What's the deal?

JERRY: You know, both of you are asking for a heaping help of my fist.

CASEY: But I'm a girl!

JERRY: Sometimes I wonder...

{Casey grabs Jerry by the throat and tosses him out a window.}

SKULLB: It's a good thing we're on the ground floor!

CASEY: No we're not.

SKULLB: Oh. Ooooh.

{Cut: Outside the Apartment Building.}

CASEY: Are you okay?

JERRY: Probably. You know, discarding the fact that my leg is splayed at a ninety degree angle. But that's okay, considering we're in a cartoon. I'll be better in probably ten seconds!

{Pause.}

JERRY: So, who's up for some burgers?

{Cut: The Burgerdome. Jerry still has a broken leg.}

JERRY: Mm. These are good burgers.

SKULLB: I wish I could eat.

{The credits start.}

Ask Jerry

{After the credits, a segment starts called "Ask Jerry.}

JERRY: Hey, all! It's me, Jerry, your favorite anti-social pessimist, here to answer some of your hard-pressing questions! Here's one from a guy called Filberto.

Dear Jerry;
Why are you so angry all the time?
Why not take a chill pill or something?
- Filberto

JERRY: You know, Filberto, it's people like you who get me angry. So shut up, you. I AM OUT OF HERE-

{The camera stops filming.}

Trivia

• The theme song is called "Once or Twice" by Chicago.
• Super Fight-Type Brothers is a parody of Super Smash Brothers.

Reminiscence

Ohhhhhh, God. Where do I start.

This was back when I had only a simple grasp of how to form a story for these characters. Granted, I had experience with writing before, but that was with Homestar characters and a stupid duck or something. I didn't have a solid grip on their personalities as a whole -- apparently, at one point the entire cast could have been replaced with that of Bonus Stage and you wouldn't see a difference. Looking back on it, I could have done much better on this one.
