(Music in the same vein of Donald Duck's opening theme plays in the background James singing throughout the intro "Who has the Average disposition? One guy that's who. Who never puts in his two cents? Who knows that his world makes sense? Who always lives a normal life? Who always seems to never know what's right? Who tells it true in front of a lie? No one! But The Average Guy!" as "James Faraci The Last Of The Americans Presents:" is seen then cuts to a picture of James Faraci with a simple smile on James' face and the words "The Average Guy" is below and cuts to the title card of "The Modern Guide to Modern Dating" then cutting to animation with The Narrator played by Chris Lee Moore doing a voice over)
The Narrator (Voice over): Since the dawn of time immemorial man has wanted to mate with females. In the beginning it was easy for cavemen to look at a mate and clubbing was the only way to go, LITERALLY! But times have changed and since then women have gotten smarter and men have become... (The animated Female clubs the guy) Well suffice to say men have been getting the short end of the stick for centuries! (Animation fades as it cuts to live action where The Average Guy is sitting on his couch feeling sorry for himself eating a box of Quaker Oatmeal Squares cereal while downing a bottle of Ginger Ale while The Narrator continues to do a voice over.)
The Narrator (Voice over): Take for example this poor Average Guy! (The Average Guy Spit takes out his Ginger Ale and the Quaker Oatmeal Squares cereals fly)
The Average Guy: WHAT THE HELL?! Where are you and why are you talking to me?
The Narrator (Off screen): I am The Narrator and I'm going to help you get a date.
The Average Guy: Against my will I suppose.
The Narrator (Off screen): Well I want to show that a guy like you can get a girl like (Show a picture of Lea Michele as The Narrator says her before The Average Guy pushes the picture off screen to the right.)
The Average Guy: Yeah right in my dreams maybe. Attractive people attract Attractive people while Average Guys like me get restraining orders, tazered and hit with mace and pepper spray.
The Narrator (Off screen): Well you can try. Let's start off with the way you approach your attire.
The Average Guy: What's wrong with how I dress?
The Narrator (Off screen): Nothing if you want to portray yourself as a bum!
The Average Guy: HEY!
The Narrator (Off screen): No offense but I took a look inside your closet and HO Boy are you in trouble but let's see if we can get you ready for a night out of speed dating.
The Average Guy: Speed dating? Just throw me into the deep end of the pool infested with sharks why don't ya?
The Narrator (Off screen): Just let's see what you would wear. (Cut to The Average Guy inside the closet)
The Average Guy: HOW THE HELL DID I GET HERE?!
The Narrator (Off screen): A Jump cut but enough of all that show me your finest suit. (The Average Guy dresses up into his finest suit.) Wow, you look too professional. Let's eighty six the tie. (Tie blinks off and The Average Guy jumps in surprise.)
The Average Guy: The tie held the suit together.
The Narrator (Off screen): We need you to look your best but not to look like your going to a job interview. (Cut to inside a hotel dining area that's hosting a Speed Dating event where The Average Guy is sitting at a table.) Now when being approached by someone on this event keep you eyes and your expectations open.
The Average Guy: Would you give me a moment's notice before you jump cut me into someplace I'm not ready for?!
The Narrator (Off screen): No! Now when speed dating there is an X amount of time to deal with a variable amount of women. (A female played by Marita Holm from ChiqueGeeks walks towards the table of The Average Guy.) It is important that you stand up and extend your hand to shake her hand and pull out the chair and introduce yourself with subtlety.
The female: My friends call me Mary.
The Average Guy: Well better having your friends call you Mary than...(Cut to The Average Guy slamming the door to his apartment as he comes back looking like Hell and looking up and around.) THANKS JACKASS! I really needed to get comments like "He'll never look like Leonardo DiCaprio not even with enough Plastic Surgery to make Michael Jackson look normal!" or "Not enough booze on the planet to even give him a chance!" And this one I love "DOUSE ME IN NAPALM!"
The Narrator (Off screen): Well let's see where you went wrong. (Rewinds footage to analyze what went wrong.)
The Narrator (Voice over): Let's start with the fact you started off with a VERY inappropriate joke. (Show clip of The Average guy making a bad joke.) That sent the vibe that you were thrown into a bad situation and everyone there made sure to treat you like you were less than how you wanted to be perceived.
The Average Guy (Voice over): Well excuse me for making a joke about myself besides you threw me into this situation.
The Narrator (Voice over): Well you should've asked what drink SHE would've liked instead of one you would've liked and paid.
The Average Guy (Voice over): I'm sorry Alcohol and I don't mix besides I paid for the drinks.
The Narrator (Voice over): Well that led to no one changing their vibes on you. Besides your eating manners weren't Emily Post!
The Average Guy (Voice over): Give me a break! (Cut to The Average Guy in his apartment.)
The Narrator (Off screen): No way besides we're going to try hitting the Bar scene.
The Average Guy: NO WAY! I'm going to stay right here and Stew over everything that went wrong...(Cut to The Average Guy taking a stool in the bar) And there is no way you can make me... (Looks around to see that he's at a bar.) OH SON OF A...
The Narrator (Off screen): The Bar scene should be at least for every one guy there should be at least four women so you're sure to at least have a 25 % of finding a date.
The Average Guy: But a 75% chance of failure.
The Narrator (Off screen): Well it doesn't hurt to try, so go to it. (The Average Guy puts his drink down and begins to speak before the scene cuts to The Average Guy slamming the door to his apartment as he comes back looking like Hell AGAIN and looking up and around.)
The Average Guy: I really hope your next place has good access to easy medical care because I learned my lesson if I have a 25% of finding a date, I have a 100% chance of getting my ass tazered, Maced & Pepper sprayed and threatened with either restraining orders or death! I'm going to check my e-mail and forget this whole thing ever happened. (The Average Guy takes off his now TWICE wrecked suit and gets back into his average clothes to check his e-mail)
The Narrator (Off screen): You can't give up!
The Average Guy: WATCH ME! Hmm, that's odd an E-Mail from a girl.
The Narrator (Off screen): Are you sure? You know the internet has a good policy on fake people.
The Average Guy: That's true but it's worth a shot.
The Narrator (Off screen): Well if you're going to try...(Singsong): and I think it's a mistake! (Normal): I suggest you set everything up.
The Average Guy: That's what I was going to do! In fact, I'm going to need some advice.
The Narrator (Off screen): Well, I'll call the cops while you make a homemade meal.
The Average Guy: You want me to bring my date here?
The Narrator (Off screen): Well (Cut to see a clean apartment) How about now?
The Average Guy: Nice. Okay let's get going. (Cut to a few hours later as there is a knock on the door.)
The Narrator (Off screen): Now when approaching the situation. You must remain calm and collected, remember she is in your territory, everything you do no matter how insignificant will ultimately reflect on...
The Average Guy: OKAY I GET IT! (The Average Guy opens the door to discover a good looking woman played by Rebecca Fonseca)
The Narrator (Off screen): HELLO! (The Narrator runs ON Screen)
The Narrator: Why should you stay here? I've got the ability to Jump cut us to Paris. What do you say? (The Good looking woman looks at her options and looks at The Narrator)
The Good Looking Woman: I say to you (Pointing to The Average Guy and The Average Guy points to himself with an inquisitive look on his face before cutting back to The Good Looking Woman) Au Revoir! And to you (Pointing The Narrator and The Narrator points to himself with an inquisitive look on his face before cutting back to The Good Looking Woman) You and me off to Gaye Paris, Allons-Y!
(The Narrator walks off screen and the two jump cut out. The Average Guy sighs and looks down and sighs and nods to himself as a woman says off-screen "Excuse me" before cutting to see the woman at the door played by Lea Michele at The Average Guy's apartment door.)
The Woman at the door: I overheard a lot of what was going on and I thought maybe if you had gone through so much maybe I could join you for your meal?
(The Average Guy look at himself as to say "Even I'm not that stupid to say no to a woman who is WILLING to at least talk to me.)
The Average Guy: Come on in.
The Narrator (Off Screen): Well sometimes it just comes down to plain old luck.
The Average Guy: SHUT UP! Next time I find you on screen, I'm kicking your ass!
The Woman at the door (Off screen): Who are you talking to?
The Average Guy: No one just myself.
The Woman at the door (Off screen): And you are?
The Average Guy: I'm The Average Guy and that's who I am.

In Defense of Michael Bay's "Armageddon"
(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the word editorial on it)
I’m James Faraci, The Last Of The Americans and the views I’m about to express are that of my own & some of yours and welcome to another edition of "In Defense Of..." (Show pics of maligned pieces of pop culture while the fanfare from the Olympics play and James comes up after Vanilla Ice slides back and his right hand thumbs up and the words "In Defense Of..." appear to the left of James then cutting back to James)
TLOTA: Remember in my "Top thirteen vampire films better than "The Twilight Saga" list" that "The Lost Boys" is proof positive that a Blind hunting dog with a missing leg can get it's quarry and get a mate for Joel Schumacher. Well for me personally I've found the movie that is the Blind hunting dog with a missing leg can get it's quarry and get a mate for someone who must never, EVER have anything to do with filmmaking. I am of course talking about Michael Bay. (Cut to images of Michael Bay while James does a voice over.)
TLOTA (Voice over): Now I am fully aware that I will never, EVER defend everything about Michael Bay. As a film maker His films are pretty much formulaic and to say Adult movies have more substance is accurate and if there is a hell you can bet Michael Bay will be going there and be hearing, reading & seeing all the mistakes critics & fans have pointed out in his movies for all eternity! (Cut to James physically)
TLOTA: But if I hate him why is there at least one of his movies that I can tolerate? Well, believe it or not before he was the director EVERYONE loved to see sacrificed to the ancient gods of Cinema he made some decent films. For some people who'll admit they like one movie from Michael Bay it'll be either one of his remakes of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "Friday The 13th" or "A Nightmare on Elm Street" or "The Rock" or one of the two "Bad Boys" movies. But me personally the one movie I like from Michael Bay is "Armageddon" (Cut to opening credit to of "Armageddon" while "Don't wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith plays in the background of clips from "Armageddon" as James does a voice over)
TLOTA (Voice over): Now believe it or not I DIDN'T like it before I saw it but after watching it, I found myself enjoying it but why is that? Well first off, I can say that this was before he decided that angles found in the Adult movie section were great for mainstream movies and before every scene that wasn't using those angles were scenes of everything being blown off the map and there was actual story, characters & reasons for the explosions. There was actual reason as to why this movie is so great let me explain why I like "Armageddon". First off, the cast was amazing, a million times better than "Deep Impact" a movie similar to "Armageddon" I loved about this how Bruce Willis acted in this movie and how Bruce handled things as his character especially when he discovers his daughter played by Liv Tyler having hooked up with Ben Affleck. Trust me when I say the reaction he had was genuine, probably the reaction I'd have. In addition, the humor I felt while unintentional was decent. The fact they casted Steve Buscemi as someone who was a genius who decided to drill for oil because the money was good, the locations change constantly and they allow him to use explosives was a sign the guy's engine wasn't firing on all cylinders. But I have to mention the score by Harry Gregson-Williams & Trevor Rabin was magnificent while Aerosmith's "I don't wanna miss a thing" was a great song for me to listen to I loved the orchestral music more so. Plus Ben Affleck wasn't as bad in this as he was in "Pearl Harbor" let's just say Anything the "Nostalgia Critic" complained about him and Bay in his "Pearl Harbor" review is justified. But not everything was great about there were signs of what would be how Michael Bay would make movies and what would become formulaic and what would get scrapped. I kid you not the only reason ONLY reason I think Bruce Willis saved Ben Affleck was because Michael Bay said so. The reason things got so bananas in the drilling on the asteroid was because again Michael Bay said so. The reason we needed guns on those Armadillo driving things was because AGAIN Michael Bay said so. But with my gripes about this movie does it make me hate the movie? No! Because while we know how bad Bay got after this movie, to me this was Bay at his best because he was more tempered in how he handled things in movies. I'm not gonna lie and say everything about this movie wasn't schlocky but he put something he didn't in terms of The Transformers movies or any movie he made after this one which was effort in everything he did. If he had put the same effort in the Transformers movies and better casting choices yeah I'm talking about both Shia LaBeouf & Megan Fox his newer movies wouldn't be as hated by everyone. So for this one time I give Michael Bay his due. (Cut to James physically)
TLOTA: I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and now I have to watch a movie I never thought I would. Pray for me people. Pray for me!
I’m James Faraci, The Last Of The Americans and the views I’m about to express are that of my own & some of yours and welcome to another edition of "In Defense Of..."

Affleck & The "Mallrats"
(A Hand pulling a card designed by Stevie Swigart with the
statistics of James Faraci The Last Of The Americans while putting it into the
Megaforce Morpher from the 0:00-0:03 mark from the theme from the final season
of American Gladiators original run and the words Ben to the Ben to the Ben
AFFLECK is heard in the background. At the 0:04 mark from the theme from the
final season of American Gladiators Ben to the Ben is repeated while the image
shows Ben Affleck’s face on James Faraci’s body morphing into James Faraci The
Last Of The Americans with a Black Tee-Shirt with Ben Affleck’s face from
“Pearl Harbor” on it, Blue Jeans and Tan Work boots until 0:07 mark from the
theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run as scene cuts
to James stocking up on his arsenal from the Classic Mighty Morphin’ Power
Rangers Morpher and Ben Affleck’s face in “Daredevil” is on the coin, a
bandoleer stocked up with Sonic Screwdrivers with Ben Affleck’s faces showing
Different emotions from different films, Ammunition for a 303 British Rifle and
said rifle, The Ring Of Aeon, The Gem From the Gauntlet Malachite’s Hand,
Emmalina’s amulet and the Sword Of Caliverti from 0:08-0:15 mark from the theme
from the final season of American Gladiators. 0:15-0:29 mark from the theme
from the final season of American Gladiators original run shows James taking on
all of popular culture until 0:30 mark from the theme from the final season of
American Gladiators shows when James pulls out a sonic screwdriver then cuts over
to a slab of titanium where lasers cut out “The Last Of The Americans” until
0:36 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original
run when James lands on top of the slab while doing a heroic pose on a black
background the 0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American
Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the
slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it.)
TLOTA: I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the
views (Aflac duck quacks “Aflac” off screen) I’m James Faraci, The Last Of The
(Aflac duck quacks “Aflac” off screen and James gets slightly angry and says
quickly I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about
to express are that of my own and some of yours as Aflac duck quacks “Aflac” off
screen and James gets up walks off to the right comes back holding 12 gauge
semi-auto shotgun and fires three shots and an eight bit duck from “Duck Hunt”
falls from the sky and the dog & duck from “Duck Hunt” comes up only for
James to shoot the dog with a load of bird shot to the back of the dog’s head.)
I guess I know who I’m going to be talking about for the next three months. (Cut
to pics and clips of Ben Affleck while James does a voice over.)
TLOTA (Voice Over): Because what can be said that hasn’t
been said about Ben Affleck. He became a Paparazzi magnet and a double Academy
Award winner. He can flourish in movies and can write, direct &
act in them and he’s been in so many clunkers it’s a surprise
Hollywood hasn’t sent him back to Boston to flip Whoppers at Burger King. He’s
beloved and hated by so many and me personally, I’ve got nothing against him
but since the advent of the internet a certain motif in his method of acting
and I think I’ve got it down to the following: 5% saying his lines with snark
and a smile, 5% trying to be charming 20% screaming like Shia LaBeouf when he
has a bad day, 30% talking with his jaw jutted down and a whopping 40% being so
close to his teeth you feel he’s more likely to eat you with a side of the
scenery. But despite that there is nothing like a Ben Affleck performance to
make people smile. (Cut to James physically.)
TLOTA: And where do some people start their taste for
Affleck? Why with his first movie that became a cult classic, I am a course
talking about “Mallrats” (Show “Mallrats” opening credit and clips of
“Mallrats” while “Build Me Up, Buttercup” by “The Goops” play in the background
and James does a voice over)
TLOTA (Voice Over): This was Kevin Smith’s second movie and
to be honest it shows. The humor is honest, the dialogue is how and what people
talked about at that time and it tried to recapture the energy of “Clerks” and
be more of an expansion of what has been known as The “View Askewniverse”. (Cut to James physically)
TLOTA: What’s the “View Askewniverse” you may ask? To
summarize it simply it’s a universe in which writer & director Kevin Smith
and his characters and in all of them Brian O’Halloran playing a character with
the last name of Hicks try to live a normal life while the world around gives
them unbelievable situations like rooftop hockey or knocking over a corpse at a
wake or something as extreme as stopping two angels who have been here since
the end of the ten plagues of Egypt getting to a rededicated church which used
the Plenary Indulgence loophole to negate all existence to having the only two
characters which has been in the entire “View Askewniverse” going to Hollywood
to stop a movie about them getting made while hitching a ride with four
gorgeous international jewel thieves. (Cut to clip of Shannon Elizabeth saying
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Before cutting back to James
physically)
TLOTA: Well allow me to give you clarity as to at least a
snippet of what that universe entails. Let’s take a look at “Mallrats”. (Cut to
opening of the movie while James does a voice over.)
TLOTA (Voice over): So our movie begins with scenes of the
Mall while we hear Jason Lee narrate.
Brodie (Voice over): One time my cousin Walter got this cat
stuck up his ass! True Story! He bought it at our local mall, so the whole
fiasco wound up on the news. It was embarrassing for my relatives and all, but
next week, he did it again. Different cat, same results, complete with another
trip to the emergency room. So, I run into him a week later in the mall and
he's buying another cat. And I says to him, "Jesus, Walt! What are you
doing? You know you're just gonna get this cat stuck up your ass too. Why don't
you knock it off?" And he said to me, "Brodie, how the hell else am I
supposed to get the gerbil out?" My cousin was a weird guy. (Cut to James
physically)
TLOTA (Imitating Jason Lee as Earl Hickey): He was so weird
I had to legally change my name and move to California someplace small called
Camden County it was there I learned about Karma.(James shakes his head and
then goes back to speaking normally.) Okay I’m going to need this! (Pulls out a
large container with a stick-it note reading “My Name Is Earl” Jokes and drops
a handful of change before cutting back to the movie and James doing a voice
over.)
TLOTA (Voice over): We then meet T.S. Quint played by Jeremy
London and Brandi played by Claire Forlani. T.S. has plans to take Brandi to
Florida and propose marriage but her father played by “The Walking Dead”
Michael Rooker has asked her to call it quits to T.S. so she can appear on her
father’s cheap knock off LAME version of “The Dating Game” because the girl who
died in “Clerks”, Julie Dwyer died here as well. Meanwhile Brodie played by
Jason Lee and his girlfriend Rene played by Shannon Doherty calls it quits as
well when Brodie decides to enjoy his Sega Hockey game over his girlfriend but
to be honest if my girlfriend was Shannon Doherty I would rather play with a
Sega Genesis than be anywhere near her. Not long after the two dumped schmucks
get together to trade Girlfriend breaking up with them stories and decide what
to do next.
Brodie: There is something out there that can help ease our
simultaneous double loss.
T.S.: Ritual Suicide?
Brodie: No you idiot, The Fucking Mall! (Cut to James
Physically)
TLOTA (Imitating Jason Lee as Earl Hickey): Besides it’s on
my list to help a friend out after breaking up with his girlfriend. (Pulls out
a large container with a stick-it note reading “My Name Is Earl” Jokes and
drops a handful of change before cutting back to the movie and James doing a
voice over.)
TLOTA (Voice over): And faster than you can say Snoogans!
Brodie & T.S. are at the mall where they meet up with of course Affleck! He
plays Shannon Hamilton who judging by how he dresses works at one of those high
end men’s clothing shop and acts like it as he is a prick to both T.S. &
Brodie! But soon enough Brodie has more important things on his mind like a
piece of Metal Staging for Brandi’s dad’s game show and where do they get the
information from? By Ethan Suplee whose gag in this picture is to look into a
magic eye in order to see a sailboat which throughout the runtime of this
picture never does but everyone else around him does.
Willam: I’ve been staring at this thing for a week now from
opening till closing and I can’t see a god damn thing and I’m not gonna leave
until I see this sailboat everyone keeps talking about.(Cut to James
Physically)
TLOTA (Imitating Jason Lee as Earl Hickey): Well Randy don’t
stay here too long we might need you to save our backsides as you usually have
done so. (Pulls out a large container with a stick-it note reading “My Name Is
Earl” Jokes and drops a handful of change before cutting back to the movie and
James doing a voice over.)
TLOTA (Voice over): After that our intrepid heroes find
“View Askew” mainstays Jay played by Jason Mewes & Silent Bob played by the
man behind the whole “View Askewniverse” himself Kevin Smith and task the duo
to take down the stage any way they can if they can get past LaFours the head
of the Security in the Mall. But if it was Paul Blart you can bet your last
nickel Jay & Silent Bob would’ve DEMOLISHED it with Paul’s unintentional
help. (Cut to James Faraci dressed as Silent Bob, Rebecca Fonseca as Jay behind
a green screened pic of a mall)
Jay (Played by Rebecca Fonseca): YO SILENT BOB HURRY YOUR
FAT ASS UP! THAT DUMB FUCK MALL COP IS ON OUR ASS! (Cut to see Silent Bob
played by James Faraci running past Jay played by Rebecca Fonseca as Jay runs
off screen and Paul Blart played by Paulo Fonseca is right behind them.)
Paul Blart (Wheezing and groaning played by Paulo Fonseca):
Come back you two hoodlums! (Paul runs off screen and we hear a loud series of
bangs and crashes.)
Jay (Off Screen played by Rebecca Fonseca): Dude the Fucker
did our job for us! Snoochie Bootchies! (Earl Hickey played by James Faraci
walks on screen)
Earl Hickey (played by James Faraci): After Jay & Bob
demolished the set with Paul’s help it was smooth sailing for T.S. & Brandi
(Pulls out a large container with a stick-it note reading “My Name Is Earl”
Jokes and drops a handful of change before cutting back to the movie and James
doing a voice over.)
TLOTA (Voice over): Not really Jay & Silent Bob have to
demolish it while this intelligent Nympho who is fifteen named Tricia needs
Silent Bob for research on a book she’s working on. But somewhere along the
lines Brodie discovers that one of his Idols Stan “The Man” Lee is at the mall
for a signing but not after some good commentary about what my generation was like
we discover that Brodie’s Ex is at the mall as well (Cut to see Brodie being
his usual self and Rene giving him an earful before cutting to James
physically)
TLOTA (Imitating Jason Lee as Earl Hickey): Hmm, must’ve
gotten an A in the “How to chew me out after a breakup” course which was being
taught by my ex-wife Joy! (Pulls out a large container with a stick-it note
reading “My Name Is Earl” Jokes and drops a handful of change before cutting
back to the movie and James doing a voice over.)
TLOTA (Voice over): So after that Jay & Silent Bob’s
first attempt to knock down the stage is thwarted when a kid slides Silent Bob
straight into Joey Lauren Adams in a dressing room. But not long after that
Brodie & T.S. hear that Stan “The Man” Lee is in town at the Mall for a
session to be with his fans. But Brodie has more on his mind than that as he
discovers that not long after being dumped, Rene hooks up with Shannon. Not
long after that Jay & Silent Bob’s second attempt to take down the game
show is thwarted by physics. But after that Brodie decides to go on the attack
as he sneaks onto an elevator which Rene is on. The two argue a bit before the
two have break up in-bed tango in the elevator. (Cut to James physically)
TLOTA: And after seeing my friend, blood brother &
compatriot doing it in a bathtub with a crazy woman last month that’s not as
crazy as elevator in bed tango. Why is that? I’ll figure that out while we go
to break.
(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of
American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top
of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it act as the
commercial break intro and return act to the review)
TLOTA (Voice over): So after that Shannon find Brodie and
guess what happens? Shannon drops Brodie like a bad habit. (Show clip of
Shannon Hamilton beating up Brodie and getting really close to his face trying
to intimidate and threatening him before cutting to James physically)
TLOTA (Imitating Jason Lee as Earl Hickey): I knew if I were
to hit back it’d get me into more trouble and besides I knew the power of Karma
would come and bite him hard. (Pulls out a large container with a stick-it note
reading “My Name Is Earl” Jokes and drops a handful of change before cutting
back to the movie and James doing a voice over.)
TLOTA (Voice over): After that Jay & Silent Bob nix the
idea of taking down the stage but T.S. takes some initiative and confront
Brandi’s dad when Brodie drops by and the two are immediately taken away from
the mall on Brandi’s Dad’s orders.
Brodie: RENE! GET JAY & SILENT BOB PLEASE! HURRY! (Cut
to James physically)
TLOTA (Imitating Jason Lee as Earl Hickey): And if you can’t
get either of them see if you can get either Randy, Catalina, Joy, one of the
kids or Crab man! (Pulls out a large container with a stick-it note reading “My
Name Is Earl” Jokes and drops a handful of change before cutting back to the
movie and James doing a voice over.)
TLOTA (Voice over): And you can tell it’s bad when LaFours
has a bag of weed probably bought by (Show clip of LaFours smiling when a clank
is heard)
Jay: COME SON OF JOR-EL KNEEL BEFORE ZOD! Snoochie Bootchies
(Laughs in a hysterical high pitch)
TLOTA (Voice over): Having been run out it looks like T.S.
& Brodie are stuck hiding at a dirt mall and feeling like they’re not going
to win and what is T.S. going to do? What he’s done in the majority of the
movie complain and cry “Why Me?” that is until they see a topless fortune
teller played by Priscilla Barnes. (Show image of “Three’s Company” with John
Ritter, Joyce DeWitt & Priscilla Barnes from the Final season and James
says “Yes! That Priscilla Barnes” before going back to the movie with James
doing a voice over) after getting the advice he needed T.S. goes back to win
Brandi’s heart, stop Brandi’s dad from getting the win and at the same time get
Brodie to get his head out of his ass and see if Brodie can get Rene back and
with Jay & Silent Bob two of the contestants except for the character Gill
Hicks played by Brian O’Halloran. Seriously Brian O’Halloran characters in the
View Askewniverse has the last name of Hicks what’s up with that? Meanwhile
Brodie gets to meet Stan Lee and actually uses the characters he inspired to
make Brodie realize what he needs isn’t the Comic Books and Sega, its Rene and
now armed with inspiration Brodie joins T.S. in helping him win Brandi while
embarrassing Shannon Hamilton as he tries to win Rene back with a video Tricia
made involving research for the book. Don’t ask me how that works but it is
Showtime as the show goes on and T.S. goes on the attack. (Show clip of
the game going from questions being asked to T.S. & Brandi blasting each
other before Brodie says what T.S. has been doing all day.)
TLOTA (Voice over): With T.S. & Brandi back together we
look at Ethan trying to see the Sailboat everyone else has when the capper
comes from one person.
Stan Lee: Oh a sailboat. (Willam roars before cutting to
James physically)
TLOTA (Imitating Jason Lee as Earl Hickey): Well at least he
took it better than he did when found out Santa was imaginary.(Pulls out a
large container with a stick-it note reading “My Name Is Earl” Jokes and drops
a handful of change and looks at the jar.)
TLOTA: Hey guys, is this the same jar as the one as I
started off with? (Cut to Paulo & Rebecca at the door way into James’
office.)
Paulo: Actually you went past that one a few “My Name Is
Earl” Jokes ago, that’s the fifth one! (Cut to James in his office)
TLOTA: The Fifth one?! (Cut to Paulo & Rebecca at the
door way into James’ office.)
Rebecca: Yep and Thanks to you and your jokes I can afford a
wonderful Honeymoon with Nick and have enough to buy a house in an auction.
Paulo: And there’s enough here for a donation to “The Joyful
Heart Foundation” (Cut to James in his office)
TLOTA: Oh…Well I hope Jason Lee will make an equal donation.
(Cut to the movie and James doing a voice over)
TLOTA (Voice over): Speaking of Jason Lee’s character. He calls
out Rene to let her know he still loves her and Shannon looks to put him into a
hole in the ground when…(Show clip of Silent Bob trying to use the force to
grab the tape and Willam crying when is he going to see the sailboat and the
video gets to Silent Bob’s hand and the video is shown of Shannon and Tricia
doing the In-Bed Tango cut to a clip of the eleventh doctor going “YOWZA”
before cutting back to the movie)
Jay: Goddamn this is one WACKY game show. (Cut to James
physically)
TLOTA: You ain’t whistling “Dixie” on that one. (Cut to the
ending of the movie as James does a voice over.)
TLOTA (Voice over): So with Shannon being dragged away by
the cops for raping a minor and trust
me if Sgt. Benson and the crew from the SVU were around they would’ve crucified
the guy. (Cut to ending showing what had happened to everyone in the movie
before using that same type of text used in the ending of “Mallrats” and music
“Suzanne” from Weezer playing in the background as images of everyone is seen
to show what was going to happen to everyone with “Jason Lee and Paulo Fonseca
donated $4,000.00 to “The Joyful Heart Foundation.”, “Rebecca got that nice
house.”, “Rowdy decided to eventually watch “CLERKS: The Animated series” and
found material for a great review” with Rowdy looking at the Camera and saying
Thanks, “James found the movie an amazing representation of what the early
1990’s were like.” Then clips from “Mallrats” play as the following sentences
are seen underneath “James is dead serious about this.” “Were it not for this
and Clerks James may have been blissfully ignorant of Independent movies and
Kevin Smith and of course Ben Affleck” “If you’re a part of James’ generation
you’ll get nostalgic and remember what it was like for you and hopefully make
sense of where you once were” before cutting back to James physically)
TLOTA: I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and our
trip through Affleck has just begun. What’s next? (James looks at clipboard,
puts it down and bangs his head on the table and precedes to cry.)
