Hello and welcome everyone to the BOTVGH show of "I Hate It When I'm Walking Down the Street and..."! With examples to you live from DK Island of stuff that just ruin your day when they happen. No one... I, er, THINK no one was hurt during this production... heh... heh....
( tries to pull down a big black square in front of a stage to make it look like it's on TV, but the hook's too high)
(standing on tippy-toes and being no where NEAR the hook): Uh... I can't reach this thing. Could someone help me out here?!
(, the director () comes down off director's chair and tries to reach it, but she's too short, also)

All right, whose bright idea was it to attach the thing to the ceiling? No one can reach it!
Where's someone who can get it down??
( is brought in)
( hops on Rush Coil and yanks on cord, but then crashes to the ground in a heap, pulling down the 'screen')
Owwwwww.......
( as janitor () cleans up the pile of metal on the floor that is )
(muttering): I don't get no respect around here.....
Annnnd... ACTION!
(Nothing happens)
I said, ACTION!!!
(Nothing happens)

HELLO!?!?!?!?!?!?!

(Nothing happens-Don't you just love the amount of content in this ep?)
(Who is at far right of stage by now, in loud whisper): Pssstt, Mario, that's your cue!
(Off stage) What!? I'm not ready yet! Cranky, stop hitting me!... (we hear someone get roughly shoved to the floor and  letting out a yell) I can't get into this costume!
Mario?
Yes?


Mario, we don't have costumes. Just get on stage and play your part!

Oh. (Walks onto stage)
Now see people, don't you just hate it when this--(anvil falls on ) happens? Doesn't it just ruin your day?
(meekly) What you were saying about no one getting hurt.....
Janitor!!!!!
( sweeps  the pancake away)
I have a name, you know.
NEXT!!!!
(Offstage): Kenny, it's your turn, idiot!
( walks onto stage, then inexplicibly falls over, dead)
Yeah, I just hate it when I'm walking along and I die. It's horrible. Happened to me several times. (Shakes head.)
He's one of the best actors I've ever seen!
(Walking on stage and looking at ): Um, I don't think he was acting.


(walking on stage): Oh my God! They killed Kenny!!
(also walking on stage): You &%$#*!!!
HEY YOU!!! GET OFF THE STAGE! YOU'RE NOT IN THIS!!
WHY AM I TALKING IN CAPS!?!?!?!
Ah, much better. Would you kids mind getting off the stage, please?! This wasn't in the script!
Yes it was.

No it wasn't. Toad, show him the script!
(Also on stage): But it's not in the show's script, it's in the episode's script. (Holds up episode script)
You're not supposed to have that! Just get off stage!


Aah, this sucks anyway. In fact, screw you, I'm going home.
( and  drag 's body off stage)
Well, at least I didn't have to take care of that one.
OK people, let's get on with it....
(looking at script): Uh, Mega Man was supposed to do this part.
Wait, I think I can do something about that. ( runs out of the room, and comes back with a piece of metal) There, see, here's his arm. That should help.... or something.....
We need a replacement.
Camera person--
Cameraman (to be revealed later): Oh sure, be politically correct.
(The screen changes to read:
*We are sorry, but we're experiencing technical difficulties. Please wait.*
People sitting at home watching boo and throw tomatoes at the screen)
Guy at home: But we don't have tomatoes, we have popcorn!
(I personally don't care. Anyway, the message stays on-screen for 2 hours (with a colorful background; oooh). Feel free to sit here for 2 hours and have the true experience, or just be cheap and press the down button.)
All righty, I think we're set.
Action!!
(Nothing happens)
One thing I forgot to say: When she says that, GET ON STAGE!!!!!!!!
( walks on stage when suddenly he explodes. After he does, spikes are clearly visible underneath.)
(To mysterious person offstage [play ominous music here]): Get rid of those spikes, especially considering that the author just ruined the skit by saying that they're there.
(The spikes stay there for a few seconds longer, then disappear)
I hate when I'm just mindin' my own business and I blow up.

Next skit!
(walking on stage): ....What's my line again?
I hate it when everyone screws up like this. Argh... (goes over to  and retells him his part)
Since Mario is currently a pancake, I'll say this for him: Cranky, your memory's terrible.
Shut up Jummm.... er, uh, you cheap excuse for Jumpman!
(Eyes watery) No one gives me credit or attention, *sniff* no wuh-hu-hun! (Starts crying)
(ignoring him) Could you say that a little louder Toad, I can't hear you!
Guy in audience: So we know what happens, heh heh heh.....
Since when do we have an audience?
Since I wrote one in here.
And since when are people popping up at random?
Since I wrote them in here.
(sighs)
Hey you author, get off the stage!
D'oh. (sits down)
Since when do we have seats...... on second thought, don't answer that. (Continues to tell  his part) Got it?!
Uhh... no. But I better get good money for agreeing to do your newfangled excuse for a comedy!
Right, whatever.
Action!
( stands there)

Cranky, fall down!

What?! Why should I fall down? You and your skits, why in my day we had REAL shows, not these stupid hurt everyone and laugh......
Someone get him off stage please.
The fun part of this role!
( goes on stage and beats up ,  then sweeps him off the floor)
Doesn't anyone remember their part???
I didn't know we were even doing a skit.
WHAT!!!!???
We better call for a commercial break.
(As we go to commercials, we can hear  talking.....)
Now this is called a "SCRIPT". You READ the SCRIPT and MEMORIZE the lines......
(Commercial starts. We see the ad guy sitting at a table with a ketchup bottle in his hand.)
Ad Guy: Do you just hate it when your ketchup takes too long to come out of the bottle, and when it does, it comes out in a tiny spurt?
(Cut to tiny bit of ketchup on guy's plate that looks like a dot when magnified 1000 times.)
Ad Guy: Well, now it can take even LONGER with new, "Super-de-duper-molasses-in-winter-ultra-turbo-slow-ketchup"! You can wait over 36 hours for the ketchup to come out while chatting with friends, playing video games, getting so frustrated that you eat the food minus the ketchup anyway, throwing pies in people's faces, writing BOTVGH episodes,  doing homework (oh wait..... never mind), banging your head against the wall, beating up your little sister, stuffing your face with cake until you get so fat you explode, writing on the walls and driving your mother crazy, watching TV, you get the picture. So, buy now, for a mere price of $2 billion (you'd hate to see our other prices if that's mere)! It's so slow,  we'll never get around to sending it to you, so we'll get lots of money instead.
(Ad Guy grins and his eyes turn into $$)
(Next commercial.....)
(We see a blue and red car with a cape that has the Superman symbol on it. The car is flying through the air.)
Ad Guy #2: Our car is special, and it can save the world from all harm. Why don't you buy it? It's only $100 a month and it has such and such accessories.......
(Ad Guy #2 rambles on for yet ANOTHER two hours. If you want to get the true feel of this ad, watch a Ford commercial. At the (finally) end of the ad, fine print scrolls across the screen for two seconds, which reads:)
"When we say $100 per month, we mean for 6,197,884 months. Don't even bother counting up how many years that is (516,490 years and four months. If you can read this from five yards away you don't need glasses). Let's just say that many, many,  many, (insert 1200 "many"s here) of your grandkids will be paying for it. The car itself is really, really, REALLY flimsy and will probably break down as soon as you reach home. We will not be held responsible for this, because we warned you. No suing allowed. We like our money. You know, when Luigi was a kid he wet his bed all the time. Kirby looks funny when dunked in salsa. Smithy has to drink lactade milk because he's allergic. If you say "Zelda" in front of Peach she'll go ballistic. If you call Mario "Jumpman" he'll go ballistic. If you show anyone a Quest 64 gamepack they fall asleep. Did you know "hi.com" actually exists? String cheese and ketchup actually taste good together. There ARE people out there who don't like chocolate. Never dip carrots in chocolate-- they taste horrendous together. In Mega Man 7, Turbo Man's weak against the Noise Crush. "Chodan" means "high" in Japanese. Always buckle your saftey belt or else you'll probably die. Did you notice we spelled "safety" wrong? If not, you did now! Ford commercials aren't nearly as interesting. You're a VERY, VERY speedy reader if you can read all this. Batteries not included in cars (betcha you forgot about those, didn't you?)."
Ad Guy #2: Hey you, don't point out the fine print! They're not supposed to see that! Now they have all the time in the world to read it instead of two seconds!
(You can't talk back. The commercial was pre-recorded, remember?)
Ad Guy #2: It was?
(Just shut up. The commercial's over now.)
Ad Guy #2: Oh fine.
(Commercial break ends. Don't you wish all commercial breaks were only two commercials long? Would you change your mind if you found out that one of them took up two hours of time? Why is the sky blue? Aren't all the questions supposed to go at the end of multiple-part-episodes? Oh well, back to our skit......)
(On stage, smoke suddenly fills the room, to reveal none other than Al Gore. Actually, Team Rocket appears)
Prepare for trouble!
Make it double!
To protect the world from devastation!
To unite all--
(Poking  on the back while pointing backward) Um, quit the motto. We have more important things to worry about.
( and  turn around to see a big, ugly monster, and it looks hungry.)
and : AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The monster eats , and )
I hate it when I'm walking down the street when I get eaten by a big, fat, ugly monster. Throws me totally off schedule. (sighs)
Was that even in the script?
I thought you were just going over it!
Oh. Um, just a second.... (pulls out script) Nope! Looks like it wasn't!
Oh well. They were good actors. More than I can say for *ahem* other people. (Glares offstage)
That's a wrap!
But I never got to do anything!
I'm not taking any more chances.
Are you sure you would have wanted to?
Errr.... no.....
(Suddenly,  gets up and beats up , then sweeps him off the stage)
There were no cows to drop on him for saying that.
And now, for the credits (Takes a deep breath): (How many people ever pay attention to this, anyway?) The special effects, like anvils and ugly monsters were done--
(  walks on stage)
Thank you, thank you. If it weren't for me, this skit would've been really crummy and I demand all credit. Also, in case you're wondering, I was the mysterious person Toad was talking to when Bass exploded. I personally loved my part. It was real fun hurting people. (grins)
(All people from the skit who are healthy enough to glare VERY angrily at )
Well, I, um, have to go, um, to call up Nintendo about a game-- yeah, that's it. I know you all love me! Bye-bye! (Teleports away)
He didn't even let me tell him that I never finished talking. Anyway, the camera guy was Yoshi.
(Suddenly, the screen appears to fall to the ground. We see 's boots go on screen)
's voice: Thank you people--
's voice: Um, you're not supposed to give a speech. Shut up and pick up the camera!
's voice: Awwww....
('s boots march off the screen, and we see 's face once more)
As I was saying, Kamek did special effects, Yoshi was cameraman, Bowser did music and lighting......
Wait a sec, we didn't have music and lighting!


That's what made it so easy! See, aren't I the greatest?
Whatever, Bowser. Anyway, the producer was.....
Me!!
No.... You wrote the episode. The producer was....
Say.... Who was the producer?
I was too lazy to think up one.
Okay.... then we don't have a producer.... That's weird. Anyway, I was manager, and, as you'll see, I definately had the most lines. I know, I'm special. Especially knowing all the corrections I had to make..... (Glares AGAIN offstage)
All (innocently): Whaaat?
(Sighs) Lastly, Princess Peach Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom--
Gezundheit.
--directed the thing, in case you couldn't tell. (Which I hope you did, after all, it's only written straight out in the episode....)
Okay, that was horrible. Oh well. G'night everybody!
Hey, wait!
What?! We're done, and you're not in this episode!
Yes I am! I'm in the cast! And I'm also a main character (as you saw in the awards)! Don't you know, every episode I have to try and take over BOTVGH, and then have my plan foiled by some stupid plot device just made up so that that the bad guy can't win!!!!
Not in this one you're not.
But--
Look, the ending sign is coming up, so you have to shut up so that I can end the episode!
FINISH (or Swedish, or Norweigen... ;) )
And thank goodness for that!
(What, the Scandenavians?)
.......Idiot.
