RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Guma - 12-22-2022
If you're not happy with your marriage, why not just... divorce?
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - PointMaid - 12-22-2022
Lotta shrugs at Adrien. Never has been for me at least. Then she turns to Tina. Well, that hasn't happened to anyone I know. A zombie cartoon could be fun, though. Branching out into horror animation.
Looking at the Lockhorns now, she says, Oh, they're fun this way, though, don't you think? It's fascinating, really. Emotional torture rather than slapstick.
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Kennifer - 12-22-2022
"I mean, I'd watch a zombie cartoon... Especially if it has horses, too."
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Mr. Lee Hammer - 12-22-2022
Couldn't agree with you more about the wedded couple, Lotta! You all heard the phrase "misery loves company"? Here, it's the other way around! We're a company that loves misery! Keep the hits coming, lovebirds!
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Oggy123 - 12-22-2022
"Hey, don't mention it! By the way, name's Maurice. That hairy little guy there is Timothy. You got any cheese? Candies?"
Timothy, the cat, glares at Mincer.
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Mr. Lee Hammer - 12-22-2022
We might have some cheese in the cafeteria, go check that out. Maybe some candles in storage too. Lotta did give these maps to you all for a reason, you know. Go, look around the studio! There's lots to explore!
And then he notices Timothy and is not phased at all by the cat.
And what are you staring at, Garfield? See something you like? I ain't scared of a cat! Try anything on me and I'll waste your nine lives quicker than you can say "meow"!
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Florien - 12-22-2022
The couple pointedly ignore the question of divorce, and Leroy attempts to show off their wedding pictures to prove that he didn't ruin them.
They feature him dressed in a black and white striped vintage prison uniform and wearing a ball and chain, along with the obligatory tie and hat, busy trying to look like he's going to his execution. He probably did ruin them.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then each day with Loretta is worth a whole film.
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - PointMaid - 12-23-2022
Aww! Lovebirds. Lotta's glasses and the stars in her eyes briefly morph into hearts.
Speaking of exploring the studio. Why don't you all come along to the main soundstage? We have a little surprise for you.
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Mr. Lee Hammer - 12-23-2022
You heard the lady! If you're all gonna be in the studio, you're all gonna be part of the action! You're all about to be part of the cartoon experience! Let's go!
Lotta and Mincer lead the way as they take everyone to the main soundstage. They enter inside and they see a black-and-white world. And suddenly, everyone, including the hosts, get picked up by a crane and taken into an old steamboat with animals aboard. And like before, everything is in black-and-white as well.
Gotta pay homage to the classics right? This is pretty much where it all started! Climb aboard the ship and try not to get seasick because vomit doesn't mix well in black-and-white! Everyone take these maps while I make some music!
Mincer hands everyone maps before going over to a cow and starts beating its teeth, making musical drumbeat-like noises and plays its tongue like a guitar.

RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - PointMaid - 12-23-2022
Monochrome is so chic!
Lotta spends some time steering the boat and lets off some melodious steam whistles.
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Despair's Archon of Memes - 12-23-2022
... Nice Boat.
(Disclaimer: A rerun of School Days was planned for this time slot, but due to content concerns, it has been removed. We apologize for the inconvenience.)
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Florien - 12-23-2022
Leroy's such a drunk I bet he thought we were already on a boat.
Hey, it's black and white, like the daily newspapers. Being married is a lot like being a daily newspaper. You sell your soul, then you die a little every day.
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Kennifer - 12-23-2022
Tina groans a bit at the mention of seasickness, though it's not a thing that's happened to her often, and follows along. It sure wasn't the sort of boat she was used to, but it certainly seemed interesting enough.

"Ah, so going for the real retro look, I see? Interesting..."

Oh yeah! Think of it as paying homage to the classics. Because us cartoons have our roots back to these old days. I don't think any of us would be around if the classics didn't take off as well as they did! Not me, Lotta or Bitta, you, or everyone here! The steamboat setting may not have been the first, but is no doubt one of the most influential!

RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Mr. Lee Hammer - 12-24-2022
Hey, mouse! Hey, cat! Got your cheese and candles right here!, Mincer exclaims as he lures Richard and Maurice over to a cage and tosses the cheese and candles into the cage where Richard and Maurice go right in. Mincer quickly locks the cage before the sound of barking is heard along the pained cries of Richard and Maurice before they eventually stop. Mincer opens the cage where a giant dog comes out of there. The dog burps loudly, making Mincer laugh.
Ha ha ha, good boy! Here's a nice bone for you!
Mincer gives the dog a big bone right before it goes back into the cage.
These animals weren't cut out for being cartoons, so we have no use for 'em! But we got someone who is!
An alien suddenly appears out of nowhere and Mincer guides him back to the steamboat.
This time we got someone who'd be a better fit. Say hi to Coda, everyone!
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - PointMaid - 12-24-2022
Ooh, nice going, Mincer! A bit of Early Installment Weirdness, folks. Lotta grinned. Welcome to the studio, Coda! Take a map.
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Oggy123 - 12-24-2022
Coda, the blue alien, looks at the surroundings in confusion. "...This is a new one."
Coda then asks. "Hey, do you have any power tools i could use? To repair my ship? This is an emergency!"
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - PointMaid - 12-24-2022
...I'm not sure we have anything that will help, Lotta says. At least for an alien ship. We could look. If you join our contest.
Meanwhile, she's bouncing and skipping across the water on a jackhammer.
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Kennifer - 12-24-2022
Tina waves a bit, having... you guessed it, groaned at what had happened to the cat and mouse.
"Hi."
She then goes back to
pondering somethingaka me trying to decide what to do on the challenge
.
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Oggy123 - 12-24-2022
Coda then grabs his map. He then looks around.
"This place reminds me of those cartoons i saw on tv back in the 1920s."
RE: Toontown Showdown 2 - Magolor - 12-24-2022
After briefly screaming and wailing before getting set back down, Badgerclops focuses on keeping his balance. And the ship's. His nametag falls off in the commotion, and he sighs. Well, that plan's over. Sorry, little guy. The nametag unhelpfully floats next to the boat.
Oh, so this is a competition. Just wiht the looming threat of getting stabbed to death instead of elimination. Huh. Let's see, what's the best joke...
Badgerclops scans his environment. Calculating, formulating, delaying... There! I've got it.
Badgerclops's Stand-Up Comedy Extraordinaire
- What are you going to make fun of? Pick something on the boat. Give us at least a joke about it.
From a design standpoint, painting the ship black and white is pretty lame. But I think something about the boat needs mentioning. Badgerclops walks up to the fishing rod. Now, maybe I'm not a shipwright, but this hull is completely flat. I mean, come on, how are you supposed to cut through the water with a front face the shape of a coffee table? The instant we get into some turbulent currents, that paddle wheel won't be enough! Like, like, uh... I lost it. Oh, i know! The ship looks like a casket. The paint job is dead, you want to kill us, and the water looks like it came out of the worst sewage system in existence! Except the casket is also, uh, terrible! Because there's no lid. Yeah.
- Can you give us some physical comedy? We want 'em laughing.
Let's see... He splashes some water onto that warrior mouse. It'd be pretty funny to watch someone get chased by a shark buuuut, nobody's going to do that today.
- ...There's a heckler getting in your rhythm. What do you do about the heckler?
Are you trying to say you don't think my joke is going to be funny before I even start? That's pretty lame, dude. Like, so lame, maybe I'll send you into the sharks. And feed you some lasers too. Hmph. Wait, you don't really think my jokes aren't funny, right?
