Three Minute Warning

WE NEED TO LOCK THE ARTICLES BEFORE WE VOTE. IT SEEMS THAT SOME HARD CHARGERS ARE CHANGING THE ARTICLES AFTER THE VOTING

We have no way of locking the script while keeping this Wiki based since none of us are admins. I don't really think it should be locked anyway. We just have to be very vigilant against hard chargers.

We need to get the script down to three minutes. It is much longer than three minutes. Here's the plan:

For each section, vote CUT or KEEP. Each CUT will be worth -1 point, and each KEEP will be worth +1 points. Sections will be cut starting from the lowest points until it is under three minutes. If ties start to matter, we'll worry about it then. How's that for a system?

Vote with:
*'''CUT''': comments --~~~~
or
*'''KEEP''': comments --~~~~

Before We Go Live

• KEEP Bobbie mac great mustache
• KEEP CeruleanNinja Lol, awesome :D.
• KEEP Hokie
• KEEP Yves, but wish it had eyebrows and a goatee.
• KEEP shiftless
• KEEP NightThree
• KEEP Maus a-course

Scrolling News Ticker

Read the script section

This one doesn't actually take any time. So if the KEEPs win, it stays in. If the CUTs win, it goes. Sound good?

• CUT Hokie
• KEEP Sepll Cehck
• KEEP Mr_malaise
• KEEP CeruleanNinja
• KEEP Yozef
• CUT Bobbie mac great idea, but not for the first time. this sort of thing needs a "camera test" to make sure it's visible.
• KEEP but get on it. I don't know why people think there's going to be a "next time." also this doesn't affect the length of the program so it doesn't need to be decided yet. if material appears, I say run with it. muyfabuloso^talk 14:10, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• CUT This just isn't really Ze style, I think. --AaronStJ 14:20, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• CUT It's funny, but it'll be too tiny to be legible. Shouldn't bother. Seriously. [LOA] bodog_formerly_byslexic 14:34, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• CUT Yves Too much.
• KEEP Gelbi Doesn't matter what you put there, great graphics example... here's a suggestion: have them run left-to-right like on Al-Jazeera (but in english, that will be freaky).
• CUT SpanishJohnny It'll look bad in such a small format. The only way I could see it working is if it just said the same words over and over, like THIS IS A NEWS TICKER or TERROR ALERT: ELEVATED or THIS IS NOT A GOOD SHOW.
• CUT Maus Funny, but distracting. Wears thin really, really quickly. Maybe during ATNVGY, but, ye gods, not the whole show.
• CUT NightThree I love the material people have come up with, but it just doesn't fit. I really don't want The Show to be like, y'know, TV.

Pre-Intro / Viewer Challenge

• KEEP Sepll Cehck
• KEEP Bobbie mac

• KEEP CeruleanNinja I'd have cut it, if there were cats in it.
• KEEP I added the Are the new viewers gone yet line and I think this is perfect. Eitherway, KEEP.--Yves

• I can't change my vote, but good job getting it to work finally.Bobbie mac

• KEEP SpanishJohnny Yeah, keep for sure.
• KEEP JonWedd - Best Section ever. Anyone who says cut is a pussy.

Intro/ATNVGY?

Read the script section

• KEEP Hokie
• KEEP Sepll Cehck
• KEEP by CeruleanNinja: the lite, with re-writes on the last part.
• KEEP Bobbie mac
• KEEP --AaronStJ 14:21, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• KEEP Gelbi: Any version.
• CUT DRSHOK: Say no to the james bond villan intro, its not funny.
• CUT if we go with the modified Pre-intro challenge. KEEP if we do not. Yves
• KEEP SpanishJohnny: Yes, keep.

• KEEP Yozef
• KEEP Yves
• KEEP Maus Let Ze pick if we haven't by midnight.

Trust my audience/Media Effect

Read the script section

• KEEP Hokie
• CUT Sepll Cehck
• CUT CeruleanNinja: Needs more 'oomph'. <:)
• KEEP Bobbie mac but trim
• CUT 67.171.242.232 14:57, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• KEEP Yves
• KEEP shiftless it probably does need to be trimmed a bit.
• CUT SpanishJohnny
• KEEP Maus Revised it so it's shorter, snappier, and funnier.
• CUT (weak) Gelbi Good material, but it's the same theme as the intro. I regret voting against this.

Gay Marriage

Read the script section

• KEEP Hokie
• trim or cut Sepll Cehck
• trim CeruleanNinja
• KEEP --AaronStJ 14:22, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• KEEP Bobbie mac but trim
• CUT Yves
• KEEP Dani
• KEEP (strong) Gelbi I actually tried to read it carefully this time... Now that I got the entire argument, it's quite good. It need tuning though.

Sudanese Genocide

Read the script section

• EDIT AND KEEP Hokie
• CUT Sepll Cehck
• KEEP - this section has bite Mr_malaise
• Edit and Keep CeruleanNinja
• CUT Bobbie mac
• KEEP - Agreed-- section has bite [Sasha]
• KEEP Gelbi: might need editing and the graphics???, but it's very Ze and the final "that'll show the terrorists", is strong.
• CUT Yves Where are the graphics? This section needs work.
• CUT maus I don't know, it seems sort of flat to me. I'm an anti-war liberal, but it seems really overbearingly AMERIKKKA IS FLAWED and RAAAR IRAQ WAR. Maybe if this section had the same amount of time to develop as the others, but as-is, it's severely lacking.
• CUT
• KEEP SpanishJohnny Probably the best (and most Ze) of all the sections we have. Definitely Keep for sure. Edit if Aaron must.

Vloggers: Pure Comedy Gold

Read the script section

• KEEP Hokie
• CUT CeruleanNinja
• CUT Bobbie mac
• KEEP muyfabuloso^talk 14:38, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• CUT sepll cehck
• KEEP Gelbi: It might need polishing, but vloggercon!!! The word Vloggercon should be on the show. Vloggercon.
• KEEP 67.171.242.232 14:58, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• CUT Yves This section never got funny enough.
• CUT [Sasha] Agreed
• CUT Maus 'Vloggercon' is barely not a funny enough word to carry a whole segment. It seems like a bunch of random, forced jokes that aren't going anywhere.
• Note that I used this section as a segue to the song (which also should be worked on and voted on...) Worrydream
• CUT SpanishJohnny Too inside-baseball.
• KEEP Dani

Duckie Con Song

• CUT Maus I'm really on the fence about this one. The fact that there's already song in the asshole babies section tips me baaaaarely to cut.

Dirty Space News

Read the script section

• KEEP - nameless voter
• KEEP Hokie
• KEEP Sepll Cehck
• CUT CeruleanNinja: I preferred the first version, this one needs a bit of work.
• KEEP Bobbie mac it's been hit and miss, but it has its moments and i trust AaronStJ to edit the last version of it
• KEEP muyfabuloso^talk 14:39, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• KEEP AaronStJ: It needs polishing, and the awesome transition from Gay Marriages is missing, but if they don't stay, we can put that back.
• CUT Yves Someone edited all the funny out of it. I preferred the Gorbachev/Yeltsin version. This one has a photo of Putin and it doesn't make any sense anymore. The other version had more layers.

Sorry but the new one without images is not funny. Yves 16:11, 8 June 2006 (PDT)

• KEEP Maus if it's edited back to the funny version. The new one tries too hard.

• KEEP [Hot mama]That is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my entire life
• CUT SpanishJohnny Weak.
• CUT Maus Very weak. NEWSFLASH: Ann Coulter is insane/abrasive/hypocritical. This woman feeds on attention. Let's make rely on a sandwich or something instead.

Asshole babies

Read the script section

• CUT Yozef
• KEEP Bobbie mac
• STRONG KEEP muyfabuloso^talk 14:40, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• CUT Yves I only liked it because of the song and I'm not sure I even like the song... but if you are going to keep it, just KEEP the song.
• CUT SpanishJohnny
• CUT maus as-is, or KEEP if it's reverted back to a funnier version. I don't know if I want to go digging through the history again, though.

• CUT Maus seeding a comment just doesn't seem funny to me for some reason
• CUT [Sasha]
• CUT Yves No good comments so far.
• CUT Gelbi This does not go well with s-s-s-something from the condiments, which I think is very good. I'm VERY STRONGLY against more than one s-s-s-something!!

FIFA World Cup 2006

Read the script section

• KEEP Yozef : This is a one month event that occurs ever 4 years, with an audience of more than 4 Billion People, the reason you're voting for CUT is because 10% of Americans watch it. Matches between nations that have political rivalry and/or tensions always ease off and have abit of sarcastic coincidences.
• CUT Hokie
• CUt Sepll Cehck
• CUT CeruleanNinja: Rework, when something crazy happens.
• KEEP Gelbi: Starts on the same day, and there might not be another show.
  Actually Yozef, you are ruining the chances of this ever getting accepted. In case the vandal attack again, this is the version I voted for.
• CUT Bobbie mac
• STRONG KEEP Completely topical and the only good "seen here..." joke. Am I missing something? It's short and strong. Cutting three sections like this to make time for one weaker, longer one is not the correct approach. muyfabuloso^talk 14:59, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• KEEP 67.171.242.232 15:02, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• KEEP Yves If only for the Wayne Rooney giant baby aside.
• CUT Maus Current version is painfully unfunny

• KEEP Maus Only part I don't like is the "no-nudity" / "mouth 'oh yeah that's right'" part.
• KEEP Yves Especially with the crazy frog on the monitor behind him.

Other votes

Moustache

I can't find the place where there was discussion of ze wearing a fake moustach for part of the show (I'm really new at this wiki-thing) but I do think that's a great idea. shiftless

Do a song (yes or no)?

Voting is closed for this topic. The concensus was Yes, do a song.

Okay so if Ze has to do a song, why is the only one in the script that (IMHO) unfunny one about babies. Seriously. C'mon let's do better. Let's up those notches, people! Mr malaise 12:01, 8 June 2006 (PDT)

"First!" Jokes?

• NO I haven't seen a funny one in the script yet. Bobbie mac
• YES Rocco: The one where he slowly rises from the bottom of the screen wearing a "New Viewer" shirt and shouts "First!" was a good idea. It got edited out, but I'm too chicken to put it back.
• No "FIRST POST" is a scourge of the internet. So unless the joke is "whosoever posts FIRST first should get bird flu", no. --Maus 11:50, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• No Maus said it best. ~Sparrow925
• Yes. Because it would drive Hard Chargers insane, and isn't Awesomeness all about confronting hard-chargers? (Well it should be.) - That Guy
• YES That one is the best part of s-s-sftc. And it should be first. [LOA] bodog_formerly_byslexic 13:15, 8 June 2006 (PDT)

• Maybe Only if the joke takes <1 second; e.g. Ze says "First!" at the very beginning of The Show. ~~RunningFool

• YES, without overdoing it, of course. --CeruleanNinja

Doing it all is overdoing it. Maus

• YES, but someone should post it in the comments.--Yves
• NO

Hungover

• YES. Why not even present The Show totally pissed (in the British sense of the word). He's gonna need something to get him through this script. Mr malaise 10:20, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• MAYBE Basically Ze should do the show in whatever mental state he chooses. This is the concession we will give in thanks for fabuloso friday. --Maus 11:51, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
  • NO There is a significant possibility of barfage all over the keyboard and valuable video-recording equipment. If that were to happen, there'd be no more Show till Ze sells enough T-shirts to replace the damn things. --CeruleanNinja
  • NO, unless Ze goes out drinking the night before.--Yves

S-s-s-something from the wiki

• Maybe Is there anything ridiculous and possibly self-referential posted on one of the talk pages? I don't mean for the creation of something in order to make a joke, but there has been some pretty goofy/ridiculeable crap on here. --Maus 11:53, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
• Yes I mean, Fabuloso Friday and the wiki are the two sides of the same coin. I say there must be a mention in the show. --LaLe
• Yes Yozef
• No Yves Unless someone scripts it REAL FAST!
