It's 11:59 and 59 seconds. You know what that means...
Studio Audience: "YOUR WATCH HAS STOPPED!"
That's right, folks. My watch has stopped, but the name of the game is World Series of Pop Culture: @midnight Edition!
Please welcome our contestants!
Entering the ring at 123 kilos (of shrooms!), he's from a little place called Le Pays Maudit, it's Tooooooo Mannnnny SMurrrrrfs!
His opponent, whose smile is too big for him to get through the door after that last obscure Belgian pop culture reference, will be with us shortly. Not shortly, however, is his likeability among one and all. He's neither Innocent, nor Experienced (so sit down and quit asking, Hendrix); he's a combination of both. Please welcome Shari Lewis's handler, Sherrrrriffff Tyyyyyyger!
Naturally, there has to be someone to bring this matchup back to reality. He thought the last batch of references for the previous contestant were pretty good, but not great, thus his name. Please welcome to the arena, a man too cool, too busy to be preoccupied with completely spelling out the honeycomb inhabitants that inspire his name, it's Mr. B!!!
Coming down the aisle, carrying a sign that says "WWE Lackluster Debuts Be Darned, Except Mine!" it's the painted face we've all come to know and love, except for that time he wouldn't sign your autograph. (Dude, why are you pointing you bat at me?) It's Stinger4Christ!
Is he a Cactus? Is he a Cantus? Is he a Fraggle? Am I even making the right reference since the guy changes names every week? All these questions and more, but one thing's certain: He does ROCK! Dolph Ziggler, you WISH you could pull this look off as well as him! It's Piiiiinnnnk Shirrrrt Modddddd!
Now making his appearance, the harem of Bret Hart-attired women at his side tearing at his clothes, he is the man after whom a famous theologian was named after his famous FAN Forum sermon entitled, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Birds App."It's Jonnnnnathannn Miiiichaels!
Sporting the T-shirt "I hate wrestling Cody Rhodes," he started in the ranks of OVW (Oy Vey Wrestling) where he had to carry opponents through virtually every match he was in. And if you believe that, he's got three words for you: "What a mark." His name is Z! And he's A Sandbaggin' Son of a ...
Next, dueting with Kelly Clarkson on the way to the ring, a man who loves Bares, but we just don't know Bare whats, please welcome a man who wants to be on The Voice amusement park ride at Universal Studios as soon as possible, his -- name -- is -- CAAAAGGGEEKINNNNGGGG!
As the music shrieks, the smooth Latino beats introduce a man with enough 1980s chest hair to make his own shag carpet for the two of you to make sweet sweet love on. Just call the man SUAVE! (And be sure to put a period at the end of it.)
Our next contestant is so complex, his real name is your unmemorizable password. Please welcome a man who is SO "for the win" that he doesn't even need the "t." It's FW91!!!
The syrup under your feet is the signal for only one man who has been secreting fluid ever since the word "Belgian" was first uttered earlier. A man who'll make anything not in a breakfast context fit a breakfast context. Your favorite kind of french fry and mine, it's WAAAAAFFFFEELLLLL!
Making his way down the aisle, sporting the "Anything You Can Sign, I Can Sign Better" poster board, a man who ironically loves receiving checks more than making them out, he was once in a Raven's Nest, but it's his time to soar, it's LOODDDDIIIRRRRUULLLLZZZ!
After seeing our next contestant, Merlin Olsen got the inspiration to grow a beard. Samuel Taylor Coleridge once sent him a Christmas card from the grave that simply said, "Nice alliteration, bro." His spirit animal is a "barbaric yawp!" He isss BIG. BAD. BRAD!
My greatest hour is not the amount of time it took for all of these people to get to the ring. It was when our next contestant saw Antwain Barber dunk a basketball over Tony Key in front of 20,000 people. The man solely responsible for recruiting the most UK basketball players the university has ever seen (on NCAA2K), it's MGH!!!!
The coolest offspring of a Sherman Hensley character was this fine man. He got his name after successfully completing a 24-hour [adult swim] Attorney-At-Law marathon in 45 minutes. The amount of time it takes for a normal person to figure out what that even means is inversely proportionate of the amount of time it takes for this man to sneeze! He. is. HAWK! JEFFERSON!!!
Look for our next contestant, who has a house of flying Raphael sais that once inspired a movie ripoff. If you don't move your mouse arrow off the streaming video quick enough, her ringside appearance will be over in a flash. She is FELICITY SMOAK!!!
Sheriff Tyger Has a Moustache, but in the subway, this man emerges with a smirk and makes sure Tyger knows, "That's not a Moustache. THIS is a Moustache." Please welcome JEFFFFF MAGGGNUMMMM P.IIIIIII.!!!!
The only person to ever run a FAN Forum Tournament so awesome that it simply could never be completed or else cataclysmic nuclear fallout would've been the result. He once Vader splashed a rhinoceros with his charm, wit, and knowledge all from the comfort of his own living room. After a cash settlement with Frito-Lay, this man's idea of Ruffles Feathers potato chips was suppressed, but his competitive spirit is still alive. Here is MASONNNNK!!!
Everyone measures each other up. Some shake hands. Some shake booties. Some simply shake the mouse over the scroll bar because they simply are saying to themselves ...
Let's Get It Started
Let's Get It Started
(This round may include a selection from any pop culture medium of your choosing.)
Contestants, to begin the game, choose a clip under five minutes (if you decide to use a video/clip) that features the opening moments to one of our pop culture mediums. This does NOT include theme songs. NO theme songs. We're looking for actual opening moments to a pop culture medium. This can be a TV episode, sports-related, video game, film, etc. Posting the first five minutes of a 5:13 song is lame, so don't do something like that. There are ways you can post "openings" without submitting a video as well, but I'll leave that up to you to explore or figure out if you want. Be creative and if you have questions about your choice's eligibility, PM me and we will get it squared away.
Scoring:
For anyone new to the game, judges will rank each anonymous selection 1-20. The four judges' scores will be added together and I will reveal the results of Round One once all of that has been completed. You are to PM me your choice. Do NOT post your choices here, and try not to make references to your own choices here or hint at what you picked. (Feel free to mark out for each other and such.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the World Series of Pop Culture: @midnight Edition! As one of the game twists, not only will contestants submit video clips to meet the requirements for this round's theme, we have LIVE CHALLENGES through the game. (Watch @midnight on Comedy Central sometime. You'll thank me later.)
The idea is to be witty, charming, accurate, or whatever in these challenges in order to tickle the fancy of our judges. (Humor is always a good idea, folks.) The judges will rank everyone's responses to the Live Challenges in addition to each round's category. The top three scoring contestants in the Live Challenges will receive BONUS points for the round. 1st place gets 12 bonus points. 2nd Place gets 7 points. 3rd Place gets 3 bonus points.
So, this helps make the game two games in one. Sure, you might fall short in the category rankings, but perhaps the Live Challenges could bring that score up a bit. PLUS, there is always the moral victory of feeling you did well in the Live Challenges as opposed to the categories. Live Challenge bonus points will be added to the judges' scoring total for that round.
With that said, here is our first Live Challenge:
CAPTION THE PIC
Folks, it's simple. Below is the Pop Culture photo. Show us what you got. Provide a caption for the judges to consider. PM your caption along with your Let's Get It Started Choice above. Have fun, and I can't wait to see what you all come up with!
