Spoofs of College Recruitment Commercials
Uncle Vinnie's House of Diplomas - You know, where the president
is kinda sleazy, and it promisses diplomas with minimal effort. The diploma
factory.
The Friendly College - The kind of place where those darn profs
just wont stop hugging you.
The Babe College - The kind of "Animal House" college
where there's nothing but babes and it's just one unending party.

Gravity
But gravity can be good, too. Most people fail to think about all of the
things that gravity can do to make your life easier. Think about it. It's
a force of nature, like electricity, hurricanes, and death. But unlike
other forces of nature, it's readily available. You don't have to wait for
gravity to show up, or worry that it will be more powerful than you were
expecting. Gravity is all around us, like dirt, and best of all, it's
free.
Wearing a hat that you don't feel like reaching up to remove from your
head? No problem. Let gravity do it for you. Scared of heights? There's no
need to stand on a chair to reach something on a high shelf. Let gravity
do it for you. (guy shaking a shelf, and a whole load of crap falls on
him. The uses for gravity are infinite.
Make gravity your friend. Use it to do your work for you. And best of all,
it's free!"
We could focus on a different thing every week (or every other week,
whatever). Of course there would always be that humor that it takes more
work to get gravity to do the work than it would have to just do it
yourself.
Or else it could be condensed into one commercial, used only once.

"Actors are wild animals, and as such, are
unpredictable. Approach with caution."
This segment will appear every week, and will require five actors each
week, though it could possibly be the same five. This segment will be
typed out soon, for it takes a long time to descirbe even thought the
dialogue in it is minimal.

World Thumb Wrestling Federation
Half of the humor will be seeing these thumbs wrestle in a real wrestling
atmosphere. The other half of the humor will be hearing the play-by-play
and seeing these thumbs trying to perform the moves being described. "Oh,
and a body slam by the Macho Man." How would a thumb look doing a body
slam? Without the announcer saying it's a body slam, we'd probably never
guess. Every week we'll have different matches, and may even do wrestling
commercials where one guy says "I'm gonna git you, Hogan, if it's the last
thing I ever do!" The humor would be in the match SOUNDING completely real,
yet looking absolutely absurd.

The Weekly Poll
Each week, a reporter goes out and to ask a question of the general
population, and every week it is the same guy answering, Warren, the
compulsive liar, no matter what question is or if it even applies to him.
As the series progresses, the reporter will try devising questions that
Warren isn't qualified to answer, resulting in more elaborate lies by
Warren as he tries to prove that is. See
characters for a more detailed description of Warren.

Every week, we will see Kermit the Frog as we have never seen him before:
smoking, drinking, speeding, making out with other guy's girlfriends, and
basically becoming the biggest man on campus.

Possibly every episode will feature another installment in the continuing
adventures of King Gregor and his knights of the square blocks, as the
Black Knight and his evil minions try to capture King Gregor's castle.
Featuring a cast of recurring characters, the Lego Epic will be done
with live action, though all hands and wires will be invisible. The
soundtrack will be recorded in advance of the filming, thus giving any
actors interested in doing voice acting an opportunity doing the next best
thing to cartoons.

Since this is going to be a college produced show, it might be cool
if we did spoofs of those new TV ads that entice young high school students
to come to their specific college. Some might be:

Possibly a weekly segment on "How to get gravity to work for you!" or
"Making the Most of Gravity", or possibly a one-time commercial.
"You know, a lot of people don't think about gravity. Sure gravity can be a
bad thing if, for example, it pulls you down a staircase faster than you
wanted to go, or pulls your airplane out of the sky, or even keeps pulling
your glasses down your nose. We all know how annoying THAT can be.

It's a play on the sign by Mirror Lake, saying "Swans are wild animals,
and as such, are unpredictable. Approach with caution." or something to
that effect. We would change the word "Swans" to "Actors" and get three or
four actors to stand by it.

There's a wrestling ring lit with a single spotlight, and the rest of the
room is dark. The crowd roars, and the ring announcer says, "This match is
scheduled for one fall. Now entering the ring at 280 lbs, from Atlanta,
Georgia, The Macho Man, Randy Savage!" His music plays, the crowd roars,
and a a spotlight shines on a thumb with a mean face drawn on it, as it
makes its way to the ring, acting all mean and though. The same goes
for his opponent. Then they wrestle.
