When you attack everyone with your Bulbasaur, you win and the little kids you beat get their older, nerdier brothers to attack you with their specialized rosters of Pokemon.

When you lose, you pay up hundreds of dollars because you didn't know they were based on Yen.

Don’t pay up hundreds of dollars. Get rid of cable and switch to DirecTV.

When you have cable, you need to ensure you didn’t pirate it like Homer Simpson did.

When you need to ensure you didn’t pirate it, you contact the cable company and start asking questions.

When you get snappy answers, you get fed up and consider switching to satellite.

When you switch to satellite, you need to worry about rooftop maintenance and ensure that perching birds don’t wreck your reception.

When you worry about rooftop maintenance and perching birds ruining your reception, you chase off a very mean, very smart murder of crows.

When you chase off a very mean and very smart murder of crows, they gather their allies for an attack in the future.

Don't let a murder of crows attack your house.

Wait a second...


When you wait for the cable company, you go to sleep.

When you grab a nearby weapon, you pick up a plunger rather then anything of use.
