Bird Flu Dance/Knowledge
[Ze close up:]
"Avian influenza is an infection that occurs naturally among wild birds, who carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them. However, when wild and freaky birds mix with weak, domesticated birds, bad things can happen...
[Voice:off:"Like what Ze?"]
[Flash photo of dying birds, such as [1]this one.] or to be edgier, this one.[2] or, sponsorific, this one: [3]
Well, for example, Massive Bird Death brought on by incessant requests for the "Funky Chicken" at your nephew's Bar Mitzvah...."
[Flash image of Funky Chicken dancers with banned circle with a slash symbol through it][4]
[Cut back to Ze freaking the Bird Flu dance moves - greatly speeded up to fit into the fifteen seconds limit. Cut to Ze on the floor, close-up on Ze's face, lying flat on the carpet]
Ze: "No one can predict when a Bird Flu pandemic might occur...but at least you'll never have to do the Funky Chicken again...Seriously Sports Racers, it's Wedding Season, Learn the damn dance, you'll be a hero, you have the Ze Frank Guarantee."
[Ze, plaintive voice:] Duckies?
[End]
An Iranian Romance
Ze - Medium Close Up
In recent news (pic for 1 sec of Dubya and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad split screen smiling) Dubya & Mahmoud, the USA and Iran are burning bridges in their nuclear enrichment stare off.
Ze - Extreme Close Up – Ze blinks three times in quick succession.
Ze - Medium Close Up - In Newsreader voice.
Of course, both countries have a history of distrust. The US still remembers the 1979 hostage crisis, in which US dignity was critically injured (pic for 1 sec of iranian flag and the words "bad Iran" under it) Iran: Bad.
Ze, looking at camera standing slightly to the left hand side of the screen, pointing to the viewer and saying in a valley girl voice:
you started it.
Ze – back as the newsreader
The Iranians have been pissed even longer - since 1952 when a US backed coup deposed the democratically elected leader Mohammed Mos-Mog-Mumble.
Cut to pic of Mohammed Mossadegh *Mossadeq
Ze - Voice Over Only
because Mohammed Mos-Mog- the uncooperative crackpot - wanted to nationalise Iran's oil.
Cut to pic of the Shah *Shah Pahlavi
Ze - Continues Voice Over
so America replaced him with the brutal dictatorship of the Shah.
Back to Newsreader Ze.
who was pro US control of Iranian oil
The Iranianians were only able to get rid of the tyrant through an extremist revolution.
Ze - standing slightly to the right of the screen, pointing at the viewer and saying again in a valley girl voice:
you totally started it
Ze – Long shot - looking to the camera with arms outstretched saying in the voice of the Reverand Jesse Jackson (deep, biblical and vaguely southern)
why can't we all... just get along.
Ze – Medium Close Up
The latest stare off (quick flash of ze extreme cu looking manic at camera) is assisted by the various propogandozies in each country demonizing the other. The US government feels strongly that any regime that operates under religious control is likely to be unreasonable, less democratic and a greater threat to the world at large.
quick cut pics of i) a placard that reads "god says no to same sex marriage" Stop Same-Sex Marriage, ii) the shock and awe attack on baghdad Shock & Awe, iii) any other images that demonstrate this point Make Abortion illegal
The League of Awesomeness Versus Aliens
Ze - Medium Close Up - 1 eyebrow raised in a quizical fashion.
Meanwhile the League Of Awesomeness has had to rethink its challenge to make an Earth Sandwich. Some authorities
Quick Cut to Ze - Extreme Close Up - Slightly angry with teeth gritted.
hard chargers
Quick Cut back to Ze Medium Close Up - Normal face and voice.
felt that fashioning an Earth Sandwich was a threat to humankind. They suggested that an Earth Sandwich carried a significant risk of an alien mistaking it as a tasty snack.
Ze - using his Duckies voice and expression to say:
hmmmm, snackies
Ze - back to Medium Close Up, he is nodding in a knowing way.
This also applies to Earth Pies, Buns, Strudels and other variations on planetary Hors D'Oeuvres.
Ze - Extreme Close Up - said fast and whispery.
I suggest that if the alien starts on France, it would solve one problem and give Bruce Willis enough time to fly in and plant a nuke in the alien's butt.
Ze - Medium Close Up - normal voice
However this solution is not guaranteed, in the event that there may be more than one butt.
Ze - Extreme Close Up sniggering
Multi-butt Aliens
Rude Words
(If you have any improvement ideas, please do suggest them below.)
MEDIUM
Ze: Greetings fellow Sports Racers! The Earth Sandwich may be complete...
EXTREME CU
Ze: But that’s not enough! We’re still too darn far apart!
MEDIUM CLOSE [Grandiose unveiling.]
Ze: In the spirit of Intercontinental Sports Racer Unification, let me present...
(Sings. Cheerful little tune.)
Ze: Learn a Rude Word today. With Ze!
EXTREME CU [Joyful.]
Ze: In foreign!
MEDIUM [Begins to speak, but checks his watch...]
Ze: Scheiße, this lil' duckie seems to have run out of time...
[Relieved sigh.]
(I've acted/timed this, it's just about fifteen seconds long. :D CeruleanNinja)
Finnish Alternative
MEDIUM [Before continuing, Ze checks his watch. Smirks.]
Ze: Voi vittujen kevät ja kyrpien takatalvi! (Finnish for “life could be better” as suggested by Gelbi)
(Could someone record a .wav on how to pronounce the Finnish phrase properly, for reference? :D CeruleanNinja 15:11, 18 June 2006 (PDT))
Play Chess with Ze
(requires a chessboard)
A set-up chessboard is set between Ze and the camera. Ze is playing white.
Ze: Let's play a game of chess!
Ze moves a white pawn forward.
Ze: Your move!
Ze smiles expectantly at the camera for the remaining time.

- This is great. muyfabulosotalk 18:35, 17 June 2006 (PDT)
- Lol, simple but cute. :) CeruleanNinja 15:28, 18 June 2006 (PDT)
- Yes, it is cute... Now, we could take this very seriously and actually do a "The World vs. Ze Frank" game, so next week we discuss our move. Too much intellectualism? ;) --Gelbi 07:47, 20 June 2006 (PDT)
- Hey, I may enjoy scatological humour as the next gal, but nothing beats a good dose of 'Ze ghrey matther upstairs' ;) It could be awesome as a little recurring section, couldn't it? P.S. Gelbi? Can you pronounce the Finnish phrase for the 'Rude Words' section? Since you'd suggested it, I'd thought you knew :P.CeruleanNinja 13:56, 20 June 2006 (PDT)
Play Chess with Ze... Reprise
(This could be the other half of a sandwich?...)
Ze: S-s-s-something from the meta-email!
[reads]
Ze: PinkGoosie writes: 'Chess sucks, Ze. We should totally play Snakes & Ladders or Crosses & Naughts, instead.'
[Ze casts a disappointed look at the camera, and shakes his head in dismay.]
CeruleanNinja 15:59, 17 June 2006 (PDT)
Sloganism
CLOSE UP
Ze: Holy contradictorific slogans!
MEDIUM
Ze: Upon the release of their new car, Peugeot declared that...
EXTREME CU [Serious hard-charger.]
Ze: "Playtime is over."
MEDIUM
Ze: To which Renault replied with...
EXTREME CU
Ze: "Grow up? What for?"
MEDIUM CLOSE [A series of shots, one for each 'instruction'.]
Ze: So, is it… go, or stay?
Ze: Sit? Get Up? Or is it just plain Suck and Blo... CUT
CeruleanNinja 13:12, 16 June 2006 (PDT)
- Pesonally, I think this is a little weak, and perhaps unknown in the US...do you have any alternate suggestions? CeruleanNinja 01:31, 21 June 2006 (PDT)
Video Game
Splice 3 sec random shots here and there of ze playing a video game. Camera is behind his shoulder you can only see part of the computer screen. Dragged out could also be are the new viewes gone yet?
- Killing the bad guys - "die die die"
- End of Game losing - "Ahhhh! Man! shit!"
- Plays atheist and makes the guy keep walking off the edge - "giggles."
- Watch him plays solitaire -"clicking mouse."
- Peeps might disagree, but this would work best if it's improvised... a script could prove too restrictive?... CeruleanNinja 01:35, 21 June 2006 (PDT)
A moment for ze
in response to the increasing demand placed on ze that he be 'always on' and entertaining - a trend that I sense is taking it's toll on our favorite dancing monkey - I propose we give ze 15 seconds to relax. Just relax. crack a crispy stella. flip through a magazine. do it for ze.
- very nice, I love it. seems like the tyke has had a rough week.
- Great idea, take it easy, have some coffee... not to make a starbucks product placement, just to relax! --Gelbi 15:36, 15 June 2006 (PDT)
- This is the best idea yet. Especially since Ze has done so much to entertain us and let us relax (only recently with The Show, but with the rest of his site for yeeeears)
- I like the base concept behind this one, too. Unfortunately it doesn't make for great video. Here's a thought: give Ze 15 seconds to do anything he wants with a promise of no reprisals from the audience. No snarky comments, in fact we promise to never mention it ever, anywhere ... no matter what. (Of course we fail, but that can be entertainment and a mythology unto itself.) muyfabulosotalk 21:09, 15 June 2006 (PDT)
- Haha, very nice. This should be the first 15 seconds of the show, followed by "are the new viewers gone yet?"
- Absolutely! Don't forget to sip the starbucks.
- I'd like to add a new section for "are the new viewers gone yet?" as part of the 15 seconds.
or like this [5]
Perhaps like this, if it's sunny
- Yet another improvisational vignette, best left unscripted. What do you peeps think? CeruleanNinja 01:39, 21 June 2006 (PDT)
Clevur Woidz
[Ze in repose.]
MEDIUM
Ze: Here's some advice, Sports Racers...
MEDIUM CLOSE
Ze: Learn a new word each day, so that, in time you can communicate by saying things like:...
CLOSE SHOT [3/4 face at frame left]
Ze: I wish I could defenestrate this exsufflicate script, penned entirely by anonymuncles, depicting me as a balatron.
[3/4 face at frame right]
Ze: Assholes!
'Alternative 2:'
Ze: [whispers] Look them up, I dare ya.
'Alternative 3:'
MEDIUM CLOSE
Ze: ...And continue being a cosmokrator. (ruler of the world)
Make up your own! CeruleanNinja 13:24, 16 June 2006 (PDT)
- In my honest critical opinion, this is trying too hard to be too clever, but fails and becomes unfunny... but it's up to you, the peeps, to decide. CeruleanNinja 01:43, 21 June 2006 (PDT)
(Rude) Clevur Woidz
(This is a cousin-version to ‘Punctuation Substitution’)
[Ze is cranky at someone off-screen. He leans into shot conspirationally.]
MEDIUM
Ze: Here's some advice!
MEDIUM CLOSE
Ze: Expand your vocabulary by gathering rare or antiquated words that mean rude things. So that, you can vent at irritating narks by saying things like...
CLOSE SHOT [Sweet as pie.]
Ze: Wow, a vaniloquent sciolist like yourself should definitely run for senate.
EXTREME CU [Secretly sarcastic.]
Ze: And, perhaps you too will be engaging in sciamachy with the rest of the smatchets. [Image of George Dubya and his pals]
MEDIUM CLOSE
Ze: Assholes! ("assholes" in Latin?)
CeruleanNinja 13:23, 17 June 2006 (PDT)
Duckies
[Ze says duckies as fast as he can and as many times as he can in 15 seconds] (moved part II to 25 seconds or more)
- Duckies, duckies, duckies... etc. 'Nuff said. CeruleanNinja 01:45, 21 June 2006 (PDT)
Fabuloso Friday Sponsor
(to go near the beginning).
Ze: This week's bite-sized Fabuloso Friday is sponsored by shitty mini-food that you get at 'posh' parties.
[Medium close up]
Ze: It's designed so you don't feel so bad about gorging your face.
[Extreme close up of Ze with his mouth full of food.]
Ze: (Talking like a woman and spitting food) I just LOVE these hors d'oeuvres!!!
Poop
Poop, poop, poop, poop.
- Sometimes the best things are complete in their simplicity... CeruleanNinja 01:50, 21 June 2006 (PDT)
Board of the League of Awesomeness
[ze sitting in front of the computer, mouse close by.]
Excited ze says, "Hey Sports Racers did you notice what I noticed?!"
(flash to a bunch of asses on the show's web site)
ze giggles, "+All the ASSES with FACES are GUYS!" ze giggles.
(flash to picture)
Ze says, "The C E O (flash to picture)[7] of the League Of Awesomeness sent me this urgent letter and demands that,"
[camera on ze, he holds up LOA's official letter in a mocking and deep CEO official type voicec]
ze reads verbatim. "Since it is evident that only the males really want to see ze's cutie-patootie I, and the Board... (flash to the board) [8]
of the League Of Awesomeness, Demand you Immediately change the name of the 'Ass Page' to "Something I Like That's Gay!"
[ze giggles, his giggle turns to an evil laugh and snicker, as he slowly reaches for the mouse]
"click!"
(flash to Ass Page that now reads,) 'Something I Like That's Gay!'
(a .wav plays ze's song Something I Like That's Gay warped and out of tune, over and over and over) -END
+ change to "Most of" if some REAL GIRLS load their faces with thier butts by film time.
Buyah!
[Camera at sitting distance]
(ze wearing a NY Yankees cap, holding a box of cracker jacks, a small Yankee’s pennant and a hot dog full of mustered & ketchup.)
ze says enthusiastically, "Good Morning Sports Racers it's..."
(startled by the sound of a loud bull horn the cracker jacks fly, the hot dog squirts out of the bun, the pennant drops.)
[ze disappointed look of surprise on his face.]
(Camera cuts: ze says with a mouth full of food and laughing)
“It's Fabuloso Friday Deux, or two, ...whatever.”
