TV Watching
Mikey the Master of the Couch
by the Freak
If you are like me, then you have no idea what a TV watching
competition consists of. Is it who can watch the most TV? Well,
yes, but that is not all. You not only have to watch a lot of TV to win
this competition but you have to really pay attention. The event went something
like this, the six contestants were all placed in a similar looking
room by themselves. Then they were each shown the same television
program. After viewing it they had to answer a serious of questions
based on that show. As long as they got 70% of those questions right
they could continue on to the next round.
The contestants were Sopha and Stephen of Marylando, Mikey of Butenia,
Jodi of Campbella, Jamie of Otros, and Pill Bug of Buggland. The first show
everyone watched was South Park. It was the Mr. Hanky episode, a very funny one,
and no one had any trouble paying attention. After the show everyone answered the
questions and it looked like this would be a long evening. The next
show was Twin Peaks. This show knocked out Jamie, Jodi, and Sopha. None
of them had any idea what was going on the whole show and couldn't answer
any questions. The third show would have personally gotten me. They next
had to sit through probably the worst show on TV, Fraiser. This knocked out
Pill Bug because he fell asleep during the show and couldn't answer any of
the questions. Mikey struggled with a few answers but barely got enough right
to continue on. What ended up being the final show was an episode of Saturday
Night Live, with the new cast. About an hour into the show, during a Goatboy
skit, Stephen started
going crazy and busted his TV. Not being able to watch the rest he couldn't answer
enough questions and Mikey walked away with the gold medal.
Afterwards, Mikey said he had trained by spending day after day sitting
through one TV movie after another on Lifetime. When he couldn't take any more of
that he would flip over to MTV for some brainwashing.
