|
TV's Patrick
Duffy is vanquished when everbody teams up for a cover
of the "Step By Step" theme and play him offstage. And the
Kabuki Master
vows vengeance on Kenji - and curses him to the FREE CANDY NO
NOROI!
Yes, we were bribing the audience for votes by promising them
free candy.
|
EPISODE
EIGHT (12/8/07)
|

Summoning the Free Candy Fairy with the power of Bon Jovi.
|
  
The Kabuki Candy Fairy (Henry Dittman) appears!

He passes out free candy to the audience!
|
The Kabuki
Master and his wife make up, but Kenji
is deaf to the pleas of his own wife to stop being evil.
|

Steve and April begin flirting hot and heavy,
much to Harold's consternation.
|
The Free Candy
Fairy, sick of being ignored in favor of everybody's
personal melodramas, curses them all to the SANTA CLAUS NO NOROI!
Says a resigned and tired Harold: "Sure. Sure.
Why not?"
|

|

Santa (Hans Gelpke) joins the Kabuki band in torturing Harold.
|

$4.50/hr Santa and his Elf (Megan Crockett),
who is pregnant with a li'l Santa baby.
|

Harold theatrically objects to Steve's romancing of April.
It's the only language these stagey bastards understand.
|

The Elf threatens to spank anybody who says anything
mean at Christmastime. To Kenji, this is not a threat.
The look on Harold's face evidently speaks for the audience
as well, for this was the end of KABUKI NO NOROI!
|
(In episode ten,
they were going to be cursed with Bubbles. Uh... yeah.)
