HOT BOY VILLAIN AWARDS PART 3

TANGELO:    Welcome back to the 273d Annual Hot Boy Villain Awards!  It’s finally time to reveal the winner of the Hottie for “Best Brooding.”  And the winner is…

SFX 1:    DRUMROLL

TANGELO:    … Xavier Darkmoon!  This is his twelfth Hottie! Wow, congratulations, Xavier.  Come on up and say a few words.

SFX 2:    APPLAUSE

XAVIER:    This statue is a meaningless trinket in an existence beyond redemption.  A wasted speck of dust serving only to gather more dust as this sick world plunges slowly into the sun.  If we share anything in the short remainder of our pitiful lives, it will be a bitter regret for this very moment.  Also, I would like to thank my agent and my mom and dad.

TANGELO:    Powerful stuff.  Thank you Xavier. Be careful with the statue, there. Very sharp, a little bloody. Isn’t he great, folks? So much gravitas, even with hair covering one eye.  That’s how you win a Hottie.  Up next is my favorite category “Best Smirk, Sneer, or Mocking Laugh.”  There’s just something about a playful jerk that get’s my warp drive pulsing.  This year’s nominees are…

SFX 3:    SHORT MUSICAL FLOURISH

TANGELO:    Zack Heartgrasp for “It’s hard to be bad when you look this good, but I’ll manage.”

SFX 4:    APPLAUSE

TANGELO:    Braiden Zorg for “You’ve tested my patience. Care to test my bed springs?”

SFX 5:    APPLAUSE

TANGELO:    And Raspian Zenith for “Excuse me, princess.”  Boy, does that one get me going.  I am pleased to announce the winner of “Best Smirk, Sneer, or Mocking Laugh,” right after these messages.

MFX 1:    A GRAND MUSIC FLOURISH.

CUT TO AD BREAK 3

SCENE 6: AD BREAK 3

SCENE 6A: Space Drugs PSA #2

CAST: 

THE SYSTEM (MATT)

YEETON (RYAN)

THE SYSTEM:    (Vocoder) And now a special announcement from the Galactic Authority.

YEETON:    Okay, listen up, Queth Galaxy. This is Galactic Mayor Bibbidus Yeeton again. I got another important message for you galactic youths out there. That’s right, I’m here to talk to you about Hlock, otherwise known as the Lock, Ottoman, Kush Cushion, and Rest. When insuflated, or otherwise ingested, it makes the user think they’re a couch or another piece of furniture. Users find themselves unable to move, and passersby may feel inclined to sit on them. 

    This is bad, okay. Even if it feels really good to be a piece of furniture, it’s bad. You can’t help rebuilding the galaxy when you think you’re a love seat, okay? And you can’t be doing your duty to your species by helping to repopulate after the culling. These are serious times. There’s no time to be a couch, okay. Say no. What if you’re on the street and suddenly you think you’re a wardrobe. You’re going to get run over by a megatruck driver doing actual work. And we can’t lose you as a potential source of reproduction. Not after the culling, okay.
