SATURDAY MORNING MEME



Aah, Saturday morning cartoons. They harken back to a simpler time when good guys always won, bad guys were always cheesy, badass or both, and the plot points were almost always resolved in 24 minutes. Unless it was a multiple-parter, of course.

Now that time is coming back for you - right here in this post!

× PROFIT

A.PREMISE

1. THE ANIMATION OF THE MOVIE OF THE COMIC: Oh, right, there was a movie or book or comic or game (or even another animated show!) that this is based on. But whereas the original may be bloody and violent and probably has some swearing, someone decided to turn you and your co-stars family-friendly morons who can't shoot straight for some reason. Oh, and you get an animal companion that probably wasn't in your original canon who makes all sorts of jokes that aren't always funny. Enjoy!

2. SHE'S A MAN IN JAPAN: Congratulations, your show's been brought over to the United States from another country! But...what the heck? Your name isn't Guy Supercool! And you're not in high school! And you don't live in America! And oh god they turned your iffeminate life partner into your female love interest?! And what do you mean your grandma didn't die, she passed into the Shadow Realm!? WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW!? WHY HAS SHE FORSAKEN YOU!?

3. AND SUDDENLY WE'RE CHILDREN: Screw being an adult like before. You're kids now in this. Who cares why, you just are - either in elementary school or maybe even preschool. You all live together without adult supervision (or if there is adult supervision, its almost never enforced) and you try to make the best of your situation. Like pretending to be in far off lands or saving the world from ghosts! Or even better - you actually do sneak out of the house to have AWESOME kiddy shenannigans without anyone knowing!

4. AND SUDDENLY WE'RE DETECTIVES: Screw the job you were at before, and all the friends and family you had previously. Opening your own P.I. joint in an entirely new place is where its at! Who cares if your previous job had absolutely nothing to do with detectiving! Anyone can be a detective with their new best friends and be a total expert at it without any previous experience! And what do you know, you've got your first big case coming right onto your desk - and it looks like a doozy!

5. AND SUDDENLY I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER: You were a part of a big group of people, or was a friend of the main character. And now, all of a sudden, you're on your own, in your own place. You're the focus now, and all the others you had known all these years are nowhere in sight! You have no idea how this happened or why you're now by yourself in a new town with new neighbors and new problems. But you can do it, right? Besides, this is your turn to shine and show you're not just another face in the crowd you left...!



B. PLOT

1. BY THE _______ OF ________: You've come across a magical talisman which, with a shout, transforms you into a SUPER AWESOME HERO! Now that you have this amazing power, you must defend your homeland against everything that wants to destroy it (or, you know, save the orphanage with your band if that's what you do). On the downside, this might include random family members and friends you forgot you had because they were brainwashed by the bad guys way back when! Er...surprise?

2. CHEESY SCIENCE STRIKES!: You've been shrunken! Or....turned into a giant. Or a kid. Or a mermaid. Or a...well, whatever it is, be it a different size, age, species, gender, etc. its been altered by a magic potion, or maybe a mad scientist's really cheesy machine. And its incredibly inconvenient for you to be like this, so you need to get to the apparatus responsible, restore yourself to normal and save the day. On the other hand, all the obstacles that are now in your way might make that difficult...

3. AND NOW SOMEONE'S EVIL: It was bound to happen some time. Someone's turned traitor, or maybe they got brainwashed, or tricked, or its Thursday. They're now sporting awesome bad guy clothing, making bad guy speeches, laughing evilly, the whole nine yards! Maybe its you who's become evil. But whoever's randomly become evil, someone's got to save them from the bad guy's clutches somehow, right?

4. AND NOW SOMEONE'S GOOD: Its a bad guy! And they've been captured! And its one of the big fish, the trusted lieutenant, a former good guy, or even The Dragon. Maybe, now that they are cooling their heels, they can re-evaluate their life choices and consider that maybe being evil isn't so good after all. And who better to prod them towards the side of the good guys but you!

5. NIGHTMARE FUEL VS. THE POWER OF CUTE: This is it. folks. The person you're facing off against is made of pure evil. As in, they devour baby souls as a snack, enjoy killing entire planets off for fun or drain people's life forces for no other reason than pure boredom. And what can of badassery are you going to open on this unforgivable monster for threatening your land? Why, the power of your CARE BEAR STARE and THE RAINBOW and PONY POWER an--wait, what!?

6. AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL: How the mighty have fallen! Your best friend - or maybe you - is hooked on drugs! Or in danger of being pregnant as a teen! In the wrong crowd! Skipping school! Not looking both ways before crossing the street! Whatever the sudden malfunction is, well, there's only one way to save the day - THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP! (And maybe throw in a musical number or two to terrify whoever's acting out back onto the path of righteousness...)

7. WORLD PRIX...THING: Yup, its the epic race around the world!...What? Every show did it! And now you're doing it. Be it for fame, money, contractual obligation, blackmail, you're riding in a souped up funny car with a bajillion gadgets designed to inconvenience - but not seriously injure - your numerous rivals. So on your mark...get set...



C. MORAL

1. KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE: You just noticed some random kids littering! Or setting fire to something! Or just doing something that they shouldn't be doing! As an upstanding citizen, you've just got to do something to stop this travesty! But how? Well, stopping them is all fine and well, but this calls for something more. That's right - an unforgettable LECTURE about the dangers they face from their actions! You just hope these kids will listen!...

2. SAILOR MOON SAYS~: Ok, look. There's no moral. There was never meant to be a moral after this story. Really. But for whatever reason someone really wanted one to be there at the last minute, so you're doing overtime now. So what if the moral is about the dangers of smoking when the episode was actually about how someone just tried to blow up your city? Stop shuffling your feet and just give the damn lecture already!



X. MIX AND MATCH/WILD CARD: Suddenly you're a child detective who must use their cuteness inside a badass talisman to defeat evil incarnate while singing to their friend about how how those "candies" really aren't very dandy to eat...oh and YO JOE! and all. Based on a movie. Or something....or, fine, come up with your own!

Yup.]

A-4?

[Who needs a talking dog at the detective agency when you've got one genuine tiger boy?]

Hey! Thor! Heeeeey!

[Jan's burst into the room and is waving around a fistful of newspapers.]

I think we've got a nikiniki case! Old Widow Cranston's saying her barn's being haunted by zowazowa ghosts!

[unstirred]

[ Oh god, let's do it. ]

Oh B-6 you know

[irememberit]

[Oh. Ooooh. This was terrible. This was awful! James Bond, the world's super-coolest detective, was succumbing to the temptation of evil Soviet double agents and...

*gaaaaasp*

DRINKING.

Luckily, this is where a VERY SPECIAL CROSSOVER comes in, and Nostalgia Critic - in his, er, disguise as meek and mild-mannered Donald don't ask bursts dramatically into the bar!]

MR. BOND!! NO!!

Cannot resist. B-2

[technosorcerer]

"This is why you don't touch the equipment without instruction," Q said, shaking his head. Really, it's not his fault that Bond pressed the wrong switch and ended up shrinking himself down to about a foot tall. And really, the device had been to satisfy Bond's nostalgia for uselessly flashy gadgets.

And of course, the device had broken after the first use. Q wasn't taking responsibility for any of this.

Nostalgia Critic | Channel Awesome | OTA

B-3

[notsogrump]

Ha-HA! Oh foolish Critic with your tie of red, little did you know that I had the antidote all along! And without it you'll never save the president of Guam!

Guam has a president, right? Hold on. I'ma google if Guam has a president. I'ma goog it.

[ hold on a sec ]

... Okay I don't freakin' know, but I got a president! I got a president of something and you ain't savin' him because I got the launch codes!

Hold on that isn't it--I got the secret ingredient!

Oh! A-antidote, I meant antidote!

Shoot, can we just do this again?

Zatanna Zatara | Young Justice

[castsbackwards]

B-1. Of course.

2-7?

[aheartstrength]

[ Well, evidently when you have a bike of your own, that apparently meant that it was time to have a race? Who even thought of these things, seriously? ]

...So, mind telling me what we're racing for again and why this is so important?

[ 'sup, have a female Rider, Jan. |D ]

[chalicejoker]

[I could do a hilarious B-3 with him, but all other options are good, too! \o/]

And here comes a Nago! *disclaimer bad urban legend reference in this post!*

[ixacise]

[Nago has overhead about an evil villain plaguing the city! It's time for him to get the evil doer to return that life to God!!!]

Beware villain! Famed bounty hunter and the mighty slayer of Fangire, Nago Keisuke, is here to end your reign of terror!

[Don't worry about the window that Nago just burst through for his dramatic entrance, it was needed for effect. And you cannot put a price on that!]

It was easy to guess where a soulless monster such as yourself would hide, an abandoned twinkie factory! Trust a cockroach to appreciate the only other thing than itself that could survive a nuclear apocalypse!

and you get this guy instead

[blamesgolgom]

[THERE YOU ARE, KAIJIN OF THE WEEK!!!]

Golgom! What have you been plotting this time?!

Q | James Bond/Matthew Swift | OTA

[technosorcerer]

[I'm good with anything. His default is a fusion with the Urban Magic series, but I can play him closer to canon if that's the preference.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Zowie! Turbo! You're the like the greatest racer ever!
