"First, let me thank our drummer, Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham, for her time. She will be providing rimshots to jokes that deserve them. Or, if someone is terrible, she has my permission to drum loudly to drown them out."

Hannelore helpfully gave a rimshot, looking warily around at everyone to see if anyone looked dirty or anything.

Film Clip: Charlie Chaplin deandestroyer August 17 2007, 09:51:26 UTC

"We start off with a film clip of Charlie Chaplin performing a table ballet."

The brick wall on the screen disappeared and the clip appeared.

Jack had really thought the movie was going to go somewhere completely different, and he was maybe a tiny bit disappointed when it didn't, but he ended up chuckling to himself.

And deciding that Charlie Chaplin was kinda hot.

Musical Performance: Robin deandestroyer August 17 2007, 09:55:02 UTC

"Our first performer this afternoon will be a small frog named Robin. He will be performing a comedic song called 'If I Only Were a Goth.'"

On the stage was a full length mirror, a changing screen, and a trunk. As the music started, Robin came on stage in a weetiny bathrobe. Song is to the tune of If I Only Had a Brain, and is by the band Thou Shalt Not"I'd be thinner, I'd be taller ( ... )

"Now another film clip. This time, a musical montage of Buster Keaton performing various acts of physical comedy."

Charlie was giggling and wincing her way through this clip, because wow, did some of that look painful.

"This guy is a master of physical comedy," John commented, having moved near Charlie at some point during the clip. "I just hope he had good insurance."

Re: Film Clip: Buster Keaton girlzippo August 17 2007, 23:25:53 UTC

"And paramedics on speed-dial. And hey! Yay, you're human again!" Charlie beamed at John and said, "You were cute as a bunny but I like you better this way."

Comedy Magic: GOB Bluth deandestroyer August 17 2007, 10:04:34 UTC

"Or next performer will be local businessman, GOB Bluth, performing hilarious magic tricks. I'm sure we'll all be amazed."

Re: Comedy Magic: GOB Bluth bluth_illusions August 18 2007, 02:45:16 UTC

GOB walked out to his normal music, The Final Countdown. "Comedy?" he asked. "This isn't comedy. This is ILLUSION!" With that, he threw his arms out to the side, smoke bursting from both sleeves, and a dove flying out of either!

Well, one dove flew, made a sharp turn, and crashed into the screen. The other fell, dead.

This didn't stop GOB. He kicked the dead bird off the stage and threw off his suit jacket, only to drop another dove from the back.

He dropped to one knee and cupped his hands together, opening them and releasing a fireball... that landed on the bird who had just falled out of his jacket.

He stomped on the dead, burning bird to put the fire out. That's when Drax tackled GOB and dragged him off stage.
