Case Study: This Only Happens In Sitcoms...Until Now


*The screen fades in as Smo and Gro are seen sitting behind the news desk dressed in suits.

Smo: Welcome to this long awaited edition of NGFL: Case Studies. It has been a long time since we last reported, but we nice guys have still been out in the field. Tonight we bring you a story so unreal that is....uh...well real. We've brought in our special guest and former NGFL member, Gro. It's good to have you back man. How has been not finishing last for once?

Gro: Ahh last or not I'll be NGFL for life my friend. Glad my seats been unused though (Gro dusts off his area) So enough about me and on to the unabashed heartbreak...uhm I mean our next story. Here to help us with tonight's story is our favorite NGFL pimp, MANNY!

Manny: It's good to have you back Gro. Glad to be here. Ladies and gentlemen, we bring a true, real life story tonight. We know that you will probably think we are making this up, but it's so crazy...it's real.

Smo: You're right, Manny. Tonight's story is about something that we only thought could happen on TV, but we have a real life account. Told as it happened to a close friend of all of ours. We will call him, Diddlysquatter Poobarker for protection puporses. Ok we won't repeat Diddlysquatter Poobarker a hundred times through our show cause saying Diddlysquatter Poobarker over and over would be a mouthful and it would probably get on everyone's nerves so we'll shorten Diddlysquatter Poobarker to Maximillian. So onto to tonight's story about our close friend Diddlysquatter Poobarker. Manny, you think you could get this one started? I'm not sure where to start.

Manny: Well it all started back in 1982. A young lady had been pregnant for 9 months, and it was time. She went into labor and was rushed to the hospital. That's when.... (Gro smacks Manny in the back of the head).... Ow!!! What was that for?

Smo: Manny, tonight's story is about Diddlysquatter Poobarker. Not your birth.

Manny: (looking down sheepishly) Sorry, I was just reading the teleprompter.

Smo: Huh?!

*Smo and Gro begin taking a look at the prompter.

Gro: Whoa dude! That things been there the whole time.

*Smo and gro review the script for previous show.

Smo: Oh man look at that!

Gro: Yea this show wasn't even originally supposed to be about nice guys. Who'd a thunk it?

Smo: Who'd have thought this was originally the Norwegian Guild of Farming Laborers.

Gro: Oh well it's our show now.

Manny: Good point. So after I was 5 I got.... (Manny receives another smack to the back of the head)..oops guys sorry I'll stop reading.

Gro: On with our story about Max.

Smo: Right. So, our friend Max met this girl. And they both showed interest in each other. So they dated and things were cool. Max felt like he could trust this girl, and he did. Things were peachy, then the unbelieveable happened...

Manny: And after my 10th birthday my parents bought me this vibra......(Manny gets whacked with a tire iron and falls to the floor)

Gro: Maybe that will take care of him. Anyway, back to the story.

*Smo is just sitting in his seat staring blankly into outer space.
