V-TV League of Super Evil

-Beautiful day, isn't it?

-It sure is.

PEOPLE SCREAM IN TERROR

That growth serum Doomageddon drank will wear off, right?

Oh, probably.

Argh!

Yep. Beautiful day.

No, please, anything but that! You can't take away our cable box!

Sorry, mister, but I've got to cut you off.

Should've thought about it before "forgetting" to pay your bill 27 months in a row.

But I want television! Minions, stop him! The lair of supreme evil cannot function without TV!

Suit yourself.

We'll just read a book.

Static. Static. Static. Oh!

Cheer up, Voltar. It's a beautiful evening outside.

Yeah, the perfect evening to sit inside and mindlessly watch TV.

But I shall have my revenge. If I can't have TV then no-one can! Muh-hah-hah-hah!

And there it is - the TV station's broadcast antenna.

If we jam this bad boy, we can say ta-ta to TV! Bring out the jam!

We didn't have to jam it literally.

Mm, strawberry rhubarb. Soon all of Metrotown will cower in TV-less panic. No-one will be spared.

No-one! Muh-hah-hah-hah!

Aaaaah!

Oh, man. Just peanut butter again?

Thanks, giant jam jar!

Eeeeeee!

Hey!

THEY SHOUT

ALL: Aw, man!

You guys are wasting your lives listening to that chattering cyclops

when there are perfectly good books to read.

Yeah, TV good.

I think the TV just broke.

Ha ha!

Take that, TV! Muh-hah-hah-hah!

We've lost our main satellite feed. There's absolutely no TV in all of Metrotown!

This just in.... Wait a minute. If no-one's watching, that means we get...

ALL: A day off!

PEOPLE CHATTER HAPPILY

It's like paper TV.

What is going on? They're supposed to writhe in TV-less agony.

Free of its TV-induced hypnosis, Metrotown is becoming... a better place.

Voltar accidentally did something good?

Nooooooo!

I've never seen anything so...horrible.

People are actually talking to each other.

And the library never looked busier.

Ha ha ha, free books for all!

I need to do something about this. If I destroyed TV, I can bring it back.

This is V-TV, the best and only TV in town.

We now return to Brightness Bay.

I am sorry, Miss Felicia Millionaire, but I'm not really your doctor.

Then who are you?

I'm actually his evil twin.

Ooh, this is brilliant! With our own TV station, we can draw people back to TV

and undo the good we have inadvertently done.

According to my ratings-o-meter, some people are watching.

Of course they are, Frogg! With its quality evil programming, no-one can resist V-TV.

BOTH: Muh-hah-hah-hah!

And now it's time for V-TV's prank show sensation, Doomed!

Hey, guys, I was just....

Oh, no. Ah!

You've just been Doomed.

We're back with Get It Right Or Else.

OK, contestant, I'm going to ask you a question. If you get it wrong,

you'll be plunged into this vat of mutant piranhas.

If you get it right, you'll win these almost new pots and pans.

OK, what colour is the sky?

Ooh, looks like you're getting the "or else".

Argh!

This isn't how the show's supposed to work!

Welcome back to Mid-Afternoon With Voltar.

Our guest today, the one and only Skullosus.

APPLAUSE

So, what have you been up to, Skullosus, man?

Oh, this and that. Thinking about doing my part for the environment.

Maybe melt the polar ice caps or something. You know, villain stuff.

AUDIENCE LAUGHS

OK, who's ready to expand their minds with the power of...

What in the name of glory?

'You will never own Papa's unicorn ranch or Mama's rainbow recipe.'

Uh, pardon me, Gene, I was wondering if you could tell me what's going on?

Well, it turns out that the doctor's evil twin really was the doctor all along, and...

And to think the world was almost free of TV's zombifying grip.

Shh!

You're now watching V-TV, the best and only TV in town!

Time to take this V-TV off the air.

Shh!

QUIETLY: Glory away!

And for the grand prize, what do super villains do?

Get defeated by superheroes!

We would have also have accepted "laugh evilly". Ah!

If anyone can tell me why this evil twin doctor

and wealthy hench-bot supermodel shouldn't be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Aaah!

I object...to television!

Oh, will that hench-bot supermodel ever find love?

Thank you, you're so kind, thank you.

Now please welcome my musical guest, Rod Gothlington.

# I'm calling my agent! #

Oh, great. Where am I going to get another musical guest on such short notice?

It's time to put an end to TV once and for all.

Glory Guy, stop the madness!

Sure, too much TV can be bad for you. But too much of anything can be bad for you.

Doktor Frogg, if you please.

Oh. # Dum dee dee doo dee... #

-I feel a lesson coming up.

-You can't forget that television can also bring people together,

make us laugh, make us cry,

make us care whether an evil twin doctor and robot supermodel get married.

No TV show could ever replace a beautiful sunset or a day in the park with friends.

-The key to it all is moderation.

-Wise words, my green friend.

Maybe a little television can even be good.

-Hooray!

-That was the best episode ever.

So, are we still fighting?

No, for as long as people don't forget to pay attention to each other, V-TV can stay.

Sweet.

MOBILE RINGS

Hey, man, I've got to get this. Oh, Doomdriver has a new profile picture on his Facetome.

Look, look, this cat is stuck in a cereal box.

Boy, imagine if the internet had stopped working. Now that would have been evil.

Hmm. Heh heh heh heh!
