Hee! This was awesome. Especially the show clip... I could actually picture that happening, right down to Barney's disdainful expression that none of them had heard of American Idol. You definitely got Paula and Randy down, and the "other door" bit made me smile.

And you know the only reason he didn't get in was because he picked a Canadian song for his American Idol audition.

Ha! This was great, but I particularly loved your narrator: you sound just like Saget!Ted!

>"He was right there, reality television was evil, but more on that later."

BEST LINE EVER!!! It reminds me of "I'm going to work for the NRDC and we're going to save the environment!" Saget!Ted: "Well, they did their best." I love the snarky reminders that the show actually takes place in the future.

Thanks! I love writing Saget!Ted. He amuses me.

You, my friend, are brilliant. You captured everyone's voices wonderfully (even the Idol judge's!) and I could totally see Barney panicking in my mind's eye. LEGENDARY!!
