gets a phone call
Hello? Oh hey, Bernie. Yeah, what about the show? Oh. Already? Okay. Iâll go tell 'im. hangs up @optiMSTie, I just got a call from your agent about the new MUNCHIE TV show. It made everybody cringe so bad. And for that, the showâs canceled.
The new reboot has to be realistic! No more green screen! No more digital effects! Weâre building an actual space station and shooting the full cast into space. There will be satellite delay in sending them the movie and getting the riffs back, so it will never quite sync, but donât worry about that. The cast wonât be able to leave the set to go see friends and family because itâs too expensive to let them come down and launch them up again, but itâll be worth it to have real zero g host segments. The space station will be vulnerable to hard radiation, micrometeorites, and space junk, but weâre sure itâll be fine. We arenât going to worry too much at this stage about how theyâll eat and breathe. Relax. Itâll work out somehow. Oh, but in the spirit of realism, there will be no puppets. A human host and two robots running ChatGPT (and a third running ChatGPC, which is currently in alpha testing). So all we have to do is finish designing and building the⌠Wait, what do you mean weâre already over budget? We donât even the rockets yet!
Thatâs The Found Footage Festival, more or less.
My terrible reboot would probably be a mistaken reality-show rebrand, like they tried to do with the Muppets. Though itâd be funny for a couple of minutes as GPC yelled, âStop trying to CANCEL me!!â
Huh? They totally do, all the time. They now have full-length watch-a-longs on their Patreon, too. I donât know if that applies there, though. I donât have Patreon.
Same show, but the opening theme is now played by Dick Dale. Sure, it sounds like a winner, but the closing theme is replaced by the Black Eyed Peasâ âPump It Harder.â
