Tropers: The Series

"WE ALREADY FINISHED THAT EPISODE OKAY THIS IS THE NEXT EPISODE"

No moral, no next episode.

The cricket googles cults that involve sending others their seed, then whispers to me. I roll with it as the cricket starts recording.

DEAR faithful LAMBS of the LORD. I'm going all 1970's televangelist here. By planting your SEED on EARTH, you are assuring yourselves a place in HEAVEN.

Send me your SEED, (and by SEED I mean FINANCIAL SEED not the other kind) With your generous donations to the LORD, you will see your seed GROW into the divine BEANSTALK that will take your SOUL to HEAVEN!

I signal cut, and Sam uploads it to You Tube. Well, let's see how this goes.

"The moral: Eat sugar kids, lots of it" he winks

"Just... read up, man. We already did it."

The moral was that weddings are a corporate fabrication so you can be Hallmark and De Beers' bitch. We're talking about cults now.

Sam chimes in, You already have 10000 hits...in 10 minutes. 258 likes and 976 dislikes, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. The cricket disables comments, just to be safe.

"Cults you say? Let's paint the town blue. Blue blue!"

"Hey, you know, that means 258 dedicated members!"

"A cult, ay?"

Episode Eleven: The Cult Wars

"I bet this show has a cult following right now! Get it?"

Buddy lets out an electronic sigh. "We're not funny, are we."

Oh wow, this must be a two-parter. How many followers do I have? I ask the cricket.

Sam responds, 7295 subscribers, while the video has 4219 likes and 21681 dislikes. Meanwhile, the cricket has also set up a Twitter account: @realBeanstalkChurch

A mailman knocks on the door. Ooh, I bet our first seed money's about to come in!

"Damn people are so critical" he says eating cake

TropesForever walks in.

"Hey, guys, wait! I have to be in every episode! It's in my contract!"

Puma runs in.

"I have no idea what my contract requires, so I'd better be here just in case!"

The mailman delivers about 532 envelopes with an average of $2.84, 42 death threats, a bag of literal seed, and two goopy envelopes that the USPS thankfully put in a Ziploc bag. Then tips his cap and leaves.

I cheer at our initial haul. Woohoo, almost $1500 from this stupid seed nonsense! And about $10 worth of literal seeds!

"Uh...yeah. Throw out the other stuff."

"What's are target audience? I don't want parents complaing if it's for kids "

Definitely not a kids show. In the very first episode, our landlord got reduced to chunky salsa by fireworks.

Pen sneaks up behind the others with the gun he built. even more evil music

Thegeniusyoshi is watering the landlord plant.

Pen shoots the landlord plant!

"HAHA! MY REVENGE HAS BEEN ENACTED!"

Thegeniusyoshi catches the landlord plant and puts it in a new pot, and continues watering it.

I walk in, and then I walk in. Then Buddy floats in.

The first me speaks. "Since Buddy is already a copy of my personality, I thought I would build an android double."

Both of me gesture at the other. "And here he is!"

The second me scratches my second head. "I forgot where I put me, and now I don't know which me I am."

Then I each press a button on the sides of my glasses. We speak in unison again. "I decided to go full derivative of Dirk, and copy me into my two pairs of glasses, too. I call them lil' Pete because of a reference no one will get."

I sit down in chairs.

The police burst in, and seize the chair. Chairs are illegal now, remember?

We don't have any chairs., I meant to state before the cops came in. (I type slow)

Meanwhile, the cricket is using the footage from my first video to make several virtual "seed" videos. Over 100,000 subscribers and counting as our channel begins to really blow up.
