Toontown Showdown 2

[Zanreo]

"Ooh, an alien? Cool!...
Don't think I've got anything that helps you though, sorry"

[Owen23]

Dr. Doofenshmirtz, after thinking for some time, decides to make his own thing for Challenge #1..

Doofenshmirtz's Evil Comedy Routine!

- What are you going to make fun of? Pick something on the boat. Give us at least a joke about it. 
"Well, this boat looks like that boat I made one time, I think I called it a "BO-AT", which was just a normal motorboat. I was going to use it to make my city like Venice, but got stopped by my rival with his own "MO-AT", guess you can say, my "BO-AT" didn't "FLO-AT".

- Can you give us some physical comedy? We want 'em laughing. 
"BEHOLD! MY PIE-THROW INATOR, you see, back sometime ago, I was dared to be a stunt guy by hiring for one, but turns out I was an assistant.. for some comical show! And everytime I didn't get a joke in that show, pies held by a clown will be thrown at me! Thus, My Pie-Throw inator will definitely get revenge on that clown, and soon.. THE TRI-ST- Doofenshmirtz gets hit with many pies by his Pie-Throw inator. Oh, I forgot to aim it at the judges, not at me.."

- ...There's a heckler getting in your rhythm. What do you do about the heckler?
"There's so many ways I could get rid of that annoying heckler, shrink him with my Shrinkspheria, Send him to that dimension where the monster-trucks went, freeze him with my Freeze-Inator, you know there's a lot of ways to get rid of him!"

[Oggy123]

"That's okay. I'll just find another place to repair my ship after this. And a contest, huh?"

[TheOtherCG]

Walt adjusted his tie as he prepared himself for the challenge the hosts had announced.
1. "So, you know those hecklers that always interrupt you no matter what? They keep on heckling and heckling, yet they get the same response as a mediocre joke from an amateur-- cricKETS!"
2. As he muttured that last word, he slipped rather dramatically. His fall recreated a backflip and he landed on his bottom. He hastily got up only to fall again.
"Did I slip on Jimmy Cricket by any chance?" Walt said as he wiped off some dirt from his outfit.
By pure chance, he slipped again, this time he rolled forward like a ball and hit a barrel. There he ping-balled several other barrels back and forth over the course of several minutes. It eventually ended with him in the center of room, all dizzy and a large bump on his head appeared. Walt regained his composition, pushed the bump in and stood up.
"That was certainly a wild ride, 'folks!" Walt commented.
3. And that's when the heckler interrupted him.
"That was boring!" They shouted.
"How ironic, I began this act joking about hecklers! Now, do you recall what I said earlier about them?"
Walt pulls out his giant brush from essentially nowhere and begins doodling down several cartoony crickets that quickly came to lfie. They playfully hopped around the heckler and chirped in unison.
"And that's all you'll get!" Walt said towards the heckler before he turned to face the audience. "Once the crickets had their fun, pay 'em no attention, 'folks!"

[PointMaid]

"That's okay. I'll just find another place to repair my ship after this. And a contest, huh?"

That's right! We're looking for our next animated STAR and we want to see who has the talent and grit to make it!

She notes a clock on the wall of the steamboat. You have a little less than a day and a half out-of-universe to turn in a performance, if you haven't already.

Then Lotta leans up against a wall, going back to taking in all the comedy routines...

[wingedcatgirl]

Adrien's just patiently waiting for his turn to perform, since

he has his routine all planned out alreadyaka we sent it on discord

.

He claps politely as the other contestants going before him do their routines.

[Kennifer]

Tina waits too, having

a whole plan for her actalso submitted mine via discord

. She seems to be more interested in watching Adrien than in watching the other acts, though...

[Oggy123]

Coda's Challenge

1. What to joke about? Um... Hello, children of Earth! Look at this ship! It's all black and white, like a really old cartoon! This ship must be older than all of you! So old that all the colors has faded away! I bet it would attract more attention if you give it a better paint job! You know, to get with the times! Huh? Huh?
   
2. Physical comedy? As long as it isn't too violent. Here goes. *Coda gets a banana peel. He runs into it, and then steps on it, sliding right into a wall and crashes into it.* Ow... How's that?
   
3. *Coda then takes out his broken ship from his mouth via his tongue. He beats the heckler in the head with it* This one always works!
   

[Zanreo]

Challenge:

1. "Hmmm.." Meito looks quickly all around him. "Oh, crates! Wonder what's inside...? That reminds me of the time I got in a shipment of new stuff, but inside the box... was just a bunch of other, smaller boxes and crates? I was wondering what this was, until the logo made me remember... this was of course just the merch for the new series, Box Fighters X! It can be hard to keep stock of everything ordered sometimes!"

2. "Alright... let's get to opening these!" Meito says as he cracks his knuckles and runs towards the crates, but is about to trip and fall... but he manages to regain his balance again. "Phew, close one!" However, as he leans onto a particulary wobbly stack, he notices the falling crates just too late... and gets hit by several crates, breaking and spilling their contents upon falling. "Owwww... Don't worry, I'm alright!" he says as he gets back up, with a bunch of cartoony injuries. "At least they're open!"

3. "Oh, you have an issue with me? Got a complaint? Would you like to speak to the manager of jokes, maybe? Well... I AM THE MANAGER!" Meito says as he summons fire around himself and rushes towards said heckler, punching them away.

[EeveeGirlChey]

"Hmmm, a boat joke, eh? Let me think."

[Grampy then sits down and puts on his thinking cap, which was a graduation cap with a lightbulb on top of it. He thought good and hard, trying to think of what to do for his challenge. Once he has come up with something, the lightbulb lights up.]

"Aha! I got it!"

[Grampy then starts dancing around with his walking stick while singing.]

"🎵Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside
I do like to be beside the sea!
I do like to stroll upon the Prom, Prom, Prom!
Where the brass bands play "Tiddely-om-pom-pom!" 🎵"

- What are you going to make fun of? Pick something on the boat. Give us at least a joke about it.

[Grampy finds a package of hardtack crackers and rips open the package.]

"Hardtack, eh? Let's see if it will tack!"

[Grampy pulls out a piece of paper and a pen. He draws a smiley face, then goes over to a wooden crate. He then takes a hardtack crackers out and breaks it into four sections. He uses each corner to tack his drawing onto the crate.]

"Ta daaaa!"

- Can you give us some physical comedy? We want 'em laughing.

[Grampy comes in juggling coconuts.]
"Haha! Watch this!"

[Grampy then throws the coconuts up in the air. He manages to catch two of them, but one ends up breaking over his head.]

"OW!

[Defeated, he walks off...]

- ...There's a heckler getting in your rhythm. What do you do about the heckler?

[The grand finale! Grampy comes back carrying a bunch of hardtack, coconuts, and coconut water. He then gets to building something.]

"What would I do with a heckler, you say?"

[After a minute, Grampy manages to build a catapult.]

"It'll be bon voyage for them! Hahahahaha!"

[Grampy then takes a bite out of his catapult and takes a bow.]

"So, what do ya think?"

[wahoothis]

It was like they just stepped right into an old projector screen for a cartoon. Perch didn't really have much of a clue, on the grounds that he was sort of having a panic attack in the back, but finally calmed down enough to listen in and plan his act for this comedy routine.

BREAKING NEWS: Perch's Perky Performance

- What are you going to make fun of? Pick something on the boat. Give us at least a joke about it.
Clearing his throat, Perch Perkins looked at the boat with the utmost distain. "Reports are in: This boat is a bigger travesty than Mack Mackrel's career! Dear Neptune, I've never seen a bigger natural disaster than when that sponge took his driver's test! Must be in black and white to hide its repulsive coloring scheme, I know I would!"

- Can you give us some physical comedy? We want 'em laughing.
Perch slightly pursed his lips together at the next bit, already knowing he's going to regret this. But he must do it. A good reporter gets in front of the camera no matter what. "Moving on from the abysmal performance of that boat, we-" One of Perch's legs get caught on a microphone cord that was randomly there for no other reason than to start a domino effect of cartoon slapstick. The purple reporter is sent flying into a post on the ship, back slumped against them. What followed next was a series of objects that shouldn't be there falling on his head, starting with his microphone, followed by a camera, a clipboard, a jar of pickles, a burger, a treasure chest, a bowling ball, an anchor, and lastly a DVD of his autobiography. Perch rests there dazed and confused, with the only serious injury he seemed to have obtained from all that being a growing bump on his head that hoists his headphones up in the air.

- ...There's a heckler getting in your rhythm. What do you do about the heckler?
Perch's gray eyes rolled at the sudden shouting of some talentless hack in the back. Tapping his mike to check it, he suddenly holds his microphone out towards the sound of the heckler's voice. "Perfect! Just the person of the hour I was looking for! Would you like to answer this million dollar question? Here goes: What do your chances of being successful have in common with that wet sponge you call a brain?" And Perch just pulls the mike back, smirking to himself.If you've guessed "nonexistent", congratulations! That's the first smart thing you've said in your entire life!"

[PointMaid]

Lotta claps. She's very pleased. Then she confers with Mincer.

Newsflash! Congratulations, Perch, we think you did an excellent job! You have immunity tonight!

You may talk among yourselves for a while... Nightfall will come tomorrow out of universe.

[PointMaid]

[If you have not posted your entry here for others to enjoy, we encourage you to do so!]

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

This guy really made the news! Talent like that, he could use that microphone for more than reporting on the action! He really showed what he's capable of!

[Kennifer]

(Here was mine for your amusement.)

TINA ON A BOAT CHALLENGE!

- What are you going to make fun of? Pick something on the boat. Give us at least a joke about it.

"Uhhhhhhhh... I think the boat whistled at me. I'm into boys, not buoys. Get it? Buoys? Because it kind of sounds like boys. Anyway this boat is weird and old. Like my grandparents. Sorry if you're watching this grandma and grandpa I love you."

- Can you give us some physical comedy? We want 'em laughing.

"Physical comedy you mean like slapstick right? Uhhhhhh... okay I'll try my best..." Tina grabs a lifesaver and tries to use it as a hula hoop, humming flatly. She then does a faceplant into the deck of the ship. "I'm okay."

- ...There's a heckler getting in your rhythm. What do you do about the heckler?

"Hey that's not very nice, I'm working hard out here. How about you try to do better?" She's still got the lifesaver, which she yeets towards the heckler. "Sorry."

[PointMaid]

Yeah! Good voice, too.

Now, don't despair, everyone. You can't kill Perch, but you might be able to kill someone else tonight! One lucky person will be able to make a kill! And if nobody tries...

Your cartoon powers won't work for the day tomorrow! How'd you like that?

[Guma]

My shitty entry

So it's a comedy act they want, eh? Jenny's a lot of things, but “funny” isn't really one of them. So she decides to

phone a friendDon't ask me how he got in

—or, rather, a former enemy.

Lil’ Acorn, Nora Wakeman's defense droid-turned-ventriloquest dummy, enters doing a little jig.

Hey! I just flew in from Tremorton, and boy, are my arms tired!

Come on, that joke's overdone. You could say it's a little wooden.

Hey now, leaf me alone! My new bride's been eating at me all week. Just absolutely barking.

I thought that was termites.

What's the difference?

Speaking of, these hosts have been a real pain in my rivets. I'm utterly stumped at how to make them laugh!

They enjoy pain, right? Well, I might just have a treet for them!

The two begin beating up Lotta & Mincer with their fists and all sorts of crazy gadgets. It's brutal. It's hilarious. Lil’ Acorn whistles for his puppet army to join in, and they begin tying the hosts in all sorts of horrible knots.

A heckler emerges.

Hey! You suck!

Well, what's this? Someone here woodn't appreciate fine comedy if it logged him right in the face.

What should we do?

Maybe we should... sing.

No... you don't mean... the song?

That's the one!

It might finally shut up those two saps.

They sing.

This is the song that goes on forever
Cause it doesn't ever end
We will finish singing it never
Cause here we go again
This is the song that goes on forever...

This goes on for 12 hours straight. It only ends after Lil’ Acorn, dedicated as he is, runs out of batteries. Jenny looks at what remains of the audience and takes a bough.

[wahoothis]

Lotta claps. She's very pleased. Then she confers with Mincer.

Newsflash! Congratulations, Perch, we think you did an excellent job! You have immunity tonight!

You may talk among yourselves for a while... Nightfall will come tomorrow out of universe.

Perch gave a small "Woo-hoo" and a light fist pump in the air... before falling flat on his face. He's still a bit punch drunk from all of those random string of items falling on his head, give him a minute to collect himself.

[EeveeGirlChey]

[Grampy cheers and applauds for Perch.]

"Hey, well done, sonny! In fact, all of you were great!"

[Zanreo]

"Hey, congrats!" Meito says as he gives Perch a thumbs up. "You all did great!"

[Florien]

The Lockhorns thing

1.) Leroy looks overboard and claims to see a shark. He slowly turns his head, and with heavy-lidded eyes in a deadpan voice, he speaks. "Loretta, I thought your mother wasn't coming on this trip." Loretta silently glares, and contemplates pushing Leroy into the water.

2.) Lorretta approaches the boat's steering wheel, and Leroy immediately puts on several life vests before she can even touch it. Loretta then does not touch the steering wheel, but Leroy's already desperately committed to the bit of Loretta being about to attempt to drive the boat and immediately sinking it. He knows it's not funny, but if he doesn't commit, he's already lost. He spends the rest of the voyage wearing so many life vests that he can barely see where he's going, and keeps tripping over things.

3.) Anyone who dares to heckle the Lockhorns is in for trouble. There's a reason that their strips have a revolving cast of side characters who come to their house exactly once and then are never seen again. They drag the hecklers into their marital disputes and make the situation so awkward the hecklers would rather die than spend another minute listening to Loretta complain about how Leroy makes insufficient money and how she should have married the famous man from the business factory, or hear Leroy compare Loretta's hair to an orange with tumors.

Newsflash, Leroy's life-vest bit was terrible. Loretta says to Perch Perkins. It's unclear whether it's the only way she knows how to congratulate someone or if she actually has to try to be venomous in a vaguely pun-related way.

Leroy meanwhile is picking fights on reddit, as he is known for doing.

[wingedcatgirl would like to share Adrien's plan with you all missed it before we closed the thread, so here's Adrien's routine:]

Adrien's Routine:

- What are you going to make fun of? Pick something on the boat. Give us at least a joke about it.
After a quick warmup making a few light jokes about the other contestants and about his own modeling career, Adrien pulls out the big guns.
"Back home, we've got these superheroes named Ladybug and Cat Noir, and they look just like those names make 'em sound. Ladybug's the brains and the beauty, while Cat Noir's the wit and also the beauty. With the twin powers of Creation and Destruction, they've got Paris on lock against supervillain invasions.
"There's also a mouse-themed hero, of course. Her name's Polymouse, and she's one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Her power is Multiplication - she can make herself into dozens of magical clones!
"Can you imagine if all mice could do that?" Pause while people giggle about how fast mice are known to breed. "Imagine if Mincer here could do that! That'd be a Lotta Mincer!"
That's right. He's making terrible puns.
- Can you give us some physical comedy? We want 'em laughing.
Despite what you might imagine about his modeling origins, it seems like Adrien has had some practice in this department! An off-stage assistant tosses a pie at him, but he coincidentally bends down to tie his shoe at just the right moment, and it misses him and hits a clown planted in the audience. The clown plays the infuriated fool and pulls out a pool noodle to bap Adrien with, but he keeps coincidentally stepping out of the way as he tells unrelated jokes in his routine, until the clown somehow takes himself out, all with seemingly no notice from Adrien! Such choreography! ... Or ridiculous luck! ... Probably choreography, surely!
- ...There's a heckler getting in your rhythm. What do you do about the heckler?
At first, Adrien does his best to just ignore the heckler, but everyone can tell it's getting to him... eventually, Plagg gives him the kitty eyes. :pleading:
Adrien gives the kwami a subtle nod, and intangibly, Plagg swooces under the floor to the heckler's feet, and the next time he opens his mouth... CHOMP!
The heckler's jibe broken, Plagg swooces unseen back into Adren's bag.

[PointMaid]

NOTE: We're going to send out some informational PMs now. However, Day Phase will be later in the day (US).
