Brainstorming thread - The Cartoon Gang Forum

Topic: Brainstorming thread

Here is where we talk about stuff until one of us gets an idea. Remember, any topic might set off an idea. (This is also to be used as a chat thread.)

~ Juliet "Jim Henson" Gamer

(P.S. Today is the anniversary of Jim's passing. May he rest in peace...)

#1 May 16th, 6:31pm

Alright, what sort of ideas do you need?

#2 May 16th, 7:59pm

Didn't you read the opening description? It says "we talk about stuff until one of us gets an idea". Just like the Muppet writing team used to do! (Except there were more than three people at the meetings...)

So... what should we talk about first?

#3 May 16th, 8:07pm

Skit ideas, maybe? I'm just out of ideas for The Cartoon Gang for the moment, sorry.

#4 May 16th, 8:08pm

We'll just talk about stuff.

Like connections with the Cartoon Gang and the Muppets.

~ The Muppets will be guest-starring (and vice versa for the Cartoon Gang) in (CG) episode 125.

~ Ember will be travelling with the Electric Mayhem before joining the Gang.

~ Cookie Monster. That's all I have to say about him.

~ Ron, besides being the avid fan of entertainment that he is, will now also have a crush on a musician.

How about we also talk about Iron Man guest starring in Episode 1?

#6 May 16th, 8:40pm

Okay.

So, tell me about Iron Man and his secret identity.

#7 May 16th, 8:44pm

For starters, Tony Stark is Iron Man. And this is basically his origin story in the comics, I got this from wikipedia:

Anthony Stark was born on Long Island, the son of Howard Stark, a wealthy industrialist and head of Stark Industries, and Maria Stark. Tony is a boy genius, entering MIT at the age of 15 to study electrical engineering, and graduating summa cum laude. After his parents' accidental deaths in a car crash, he inherits his father's company.

While observing the effects of his experimental technologies on the American war effort, Stark is injured by a booby trap and captured by the enemy, who then orders him to design weapons for them. However, Stark's injuries are dire and shrapnel in his chest threatens to pierce his heart. His fellow prisoner, Ho Yinsen, a physicist whose work Stark had greatly admired during college, constructs a magnetic chest plate to keep the shrapnel from reaching Stark's heart, keeping him alive. Stark uses the workshop to design and construct in secret a suit of powered armor. Stark uses the armor to escape, although Yinsen dies during the attempt. Stark takes revenge on his kidnappers, then heads back to rejoin the American forces. Along the way he meets a wounded American Marine Corps helicopter pilot, James "Rhodey" Rhodes.

Back home, Stark discovers the shrapnel lodged in his chest cannot be removed without killing him, and he is forced to wear the armor's chestplate beneath his clothes to act as a regulator for his heart. He must also recharge the chestplate every day or else risk the shrapnel killing him. The cover for Iron Man is that he is Stark's bodyguard and corporate mascot. To that end, Iron Man fights threats to his company, Communist opponents such as the Black Widow, the Crimson Dynamo and the Titanium Man as well as independent villains like the Mandarin. No one suspects Stark of being Iron Man as he cultivates an image as a rich playboy and industrialist. Two notable members of Stark's supporting cast at this point are his personal chauffeur Harold "Happy" Hogan and secretary Virginia "Pepper" Potts, to both of whom he eventually reveals his dual identity. Meanwhile, Jim Rhodes would find his own niche as Stark's personal pilot of extraordinary skill and daring. The comic took an anti-Communist stance in its early years, which was softened as opposition rose to the Vietnam War. This change evolved in a series of stories with Stark profoundly reconsidering his political opinions and the morality of manufacturing weapons for the military. Stark, however, often shows himself to be occasionally arrogant and willing to let the ends justify the means. This leads to personal conflicts with the people around him, both in his civilian and superhero identities. Stark uses his personal fortune not only to outfit his own armor but to develop weapons for S.H.I.E.L.D. and other technologies such as the Quinjets used by the Avengers, and the image inducers used by the X-Men.

Eventually, Stark's heart condition is discovered by the public and cured with an artificial heart transplant. However, Stark also develops a serious dependency on alcohol. The first time it becomes a problem is when Stark discovers that the national security agency S.H.I.E.L.D. has been buying a controlling interest in his company in order to ensure Stark's continued weapons development for them. At the same time, Stark's business rival Justin Hammer hires several supervillains to attack Stark. At one point, the Iron Man armor is even taken over and used to murder a diplomat. Although Iron Man is not immediately under suspicion, Stark is forced to hand the armor over to the authorities. Eventually Stark and Rhodes, who is now his personal pilot and confidant, track down and defeat those responsible, although Hammer would return to bedevil Stark again. With the support of his then-girlfriend, Bethany Cabe, his friends and his employees, Stark pulls through these crises and overcomes his dependency on alcohol.

Some time later, a ruthless rival, Obadiah Stane, manipulates Stark emotionally into a serious relapse. As a result, Stark loses control of Stark International, becomes a homeless alcoholic vagrant and gives up his armored identity to Rhodes, who becomes the new Iron Man for a lengthy period of time. Eventually, Stark recovers and starts a new company, Circuits Maximus. Stark concentrates on new technological designs, including building a new set of armor as part of his recuperative therapy. Rhodes continues to act as Iron Man but steadily grows more aggressive and paranoid, due to the armor not being calibrated properly for his use. Eventually Rhodes goes on a rampage, and Stark has to don the prototype suit to stop him. When Circuits Maximus comes under assault from Stane, Stark uses the completed next-generation armor to confront Stane in personal combat. Stark's skill proves superior over Stane's unpracticed use of his own variant suit (known as the Iron Monger) and Stark regains his company when Stane commits suicide rather than be captured.

Very nice.

Now, let's talk about a completely different subject.

#9 May 16th, 8:56pm

How about Speed Racer's guest appearence on Episode 2?

#10 May 16th, 9:03pm

We already have the "Jimmy vs. Speed" thing.

Okay, now let's try to picture some of the cast in a situation. You (or I) will state a situation, the other will state what the character might do.

#11 May 16th, 9:06pm

Ok, let's say during the Jimmy vs. Speed race skit, Carl and Sheen try to let Jimmy win.

#12 May 16th, 9:10pm

Cool.

Okay... Ember on the Mayhem Bus with the Electric Mayhem. Try to picture a conversation.

#13 May 16th, 9:14pm

Hmm, how about Ember sits with of all muppets, Animal and he can't try to get into an regular conversation.

Also, about the whole cheating aspect in the Jimmy vs. Speed skit, I was thinking that Carl and Sheen's plans of cheating are foiled by Speed's girlfriend Trxie.

#14 May 16th, 9:19pm . Edited May 16th, 9:20pm

Nice.

Ron reveals to Ember that he has a crush on Janice. Let's RP the conversation.

#15 May 16th, 9:24pm

How about this?

Ron: I have a crush on Janice.

Ember: (Laughs for 30 seconds then stops) Really?

#16 May 16th, 9:29pm

Ron: Yeah, really.

Ember: Like she'd want to go out with you, anyway. She has Floyd.

#17 May 16th, 9:30pm

Ron: Really?

Ember: Yeah dumbass, didn't you know that?

Ron: Not really.

#18 May 16th, 9:34pm

Ember: Sure... *picks up a magazine and starts to read*

Ron: ... but there must be another way. Somehow I'll tell her my feelings!

Ember: *semi-sarcastically* Yeah, and I'm marrying Dr. Teeth next week. *faintly blushes at the thought of it*

#19 May 16th, 9:38pm

Ron: You are?

Ember: Hell no! You're aren't very bright aren't you?

#20 May 16th, 9:41pm

Ron: Hey! I am TOO smart!

Ember: Prove it.

Ron: ... huh?

Ember: What did I do before I joined the Gang?

#21 May 16th, 9:44pm

Ron: Well you, uh... You did, no wait... Um, what did you do?

Ember: (Under her breath) Stupid.

#22 May 16th, 9:52pm

(Patrick walks by)

Patrick: Hey Ember.

Ember: o_O O-kay?

Ron: What was that all about?

Ember: Um, I have no idea...

#23 May 17th, 6:22am

Ember: Patrick, both bands are practicing backstage.

Patrick: Oh. Okay. *goes to backstage*

Ron: ... That was weird.

Ember: Tell me about it.

#24 May 17th, 6:23am . Edited May 17th, 6:25am

Okay.

#25 May 17th, 6:24am

You already did. Let's just continue.

#26 May 17th, 6:25am

Alright then...

Ron: Well, if you think you're so smart, then... You prove it!

Ember: Okay. Go ahead and ask me something.

Ron: Okay. Uh... What show did the people who made Futurama make before that?

Ember: The Simpsons. Duh.

Ron: Darn. I thought I'd get you with that one.

Ember: Ron, practically everyone knows that.

Ron: Yeah, well... Not Patrick!

Patrick: Huh?

Ember: Okay then. Why don't you prove that?

Ron: Alright then, I will! Patrick, what show did the creators of Futurama also make?

Patrick: Uh, the Simpsons?

Ron: Okay, so maybe he does know it...

Patrick: What?! I got it right?! Hooray! I'm a genius! Whoo-hoo!

Ember: I'm never gonna hear the end of this...

#27 May 17th, 6:34am

Ron: Now, let's see...

Ember: If any of you need me, I'll be in my dressing room. Do me a favor, though: don't. *closes door*

#28 May 17th, 6:39am

Ron: Great. Now who am I gonna talk to? *sees Kirby (Brave Little Toaster vers.)* So, you want to know something about me?

Kirby: Oh boy...

#29 May 17th, 6:42am

Roy (Garfield & Friends): *walks by* Come on, Dust Bag! We've got people to heckle.

Kirby: Finally... *leaves*

Ron: ... *to ceiling:* Why?

(Note: I believe this will be part of the Muppets episode. Good thing it's double-length.)

#30 May 17th, 6:47am

That oughta be fun. ^-^

... Is this convernsation with Ron finished?

#31 May 17th, 6:49am

I believe so.

Now, some of the Gang conversing with some of the Muppets! Can't have that episode without it!

#32 May 17th, 7:00am . Edited May 17th, 7:09am

Clay: So, did you always enjoy being on The Muppet Show, Kermit?

Kermit: Well, it was all pretty fun, now that I look back on it, but sometimes it was really frustrating.

Clay: How's that?

Kermit: Well, for one thing, after the show was over, I was often attackted by mobs of fans.

Muppet Fan 1: Oh my god! It's Kermit!

Muppet Fan 2: Must... Get... Autograph!

Muppet Fan 3: Kermit! We love you!

*numerous Muppet fans come running up to Kermit*

Kermit: Yaaaah! See what I mean?! *runs out of studio with fans following him* AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Ron: *taking notes:* Go on.

Fozzie: And so the the bank teller says, "It's a knick knack, Patty Wack, give the frog a loan, his old man's a Rolling Stone."

Ron: *laughs* That's a neat joke! Now I'm one step closer to being a great comedian like you.

Fozzie: Aw, you're just saying that.

Ron: I'm serious! You're one of my inspirations.

Fozzie: Ah. ... Who arethe others?

Ron: Huh?

#34 May 17th, 7:56am

Ember: So, who do you get to style your hair?

Miss Piggy: Well, believe it or not, it's actually-

(Some guy walks up to Miss Piggy)

S.G.: Miss Piggy?

Piggy: Oh yes, that is moi. Is there something you have for me?

S.G.: Yes, there was somebody who sent you a note. Here. *hands Miss Piggy a note*

Piggy: *gasp!* Oh, thank you! Oh, I wonder what it says! *opens letter and reads it aloud* "Dea Miss Piggy, you stink." WHAT?! *clears throat + seemingly calms herself* I mean, ahahaha. Um, do you know who wrote this?

S.G.: Yeah, the moose that's hanging out with the little gray flying sqvirrel way over there.

Piggy: Thank you. I'll be right back. *storms off*

Rocky: Gee, I can't wait for the show to start.

Bullwinkle: You said it!

(Miss Piggy comes up to Bullwinkle)

Piggy: *politely:* Excuse me, Mr. Moose, did you write this?

Bullwinkle: Hmm. Let's see. *reads note* Well, I-

Piggy: Hi-ya! *kicks Bullwinkle across the theater*

S.G.: Hahahahahahaha!

Ember: Hey, haven't I seen you before?

S.G.: Who? Me? Wha, uh, no. I don't think so. You must be confusing me for someone else.

(Jackie Khones walks by)

Jackie: Hey Boris.

Boris: Hello. Wait, what?

Ember: Boris?! Boris Badenov?! The guy from Rocky and Bullwinkle who keeps trying to get rid of them?! And you just insulted Miss Piggy to get your way?!

Boris: Um, I, uh... Hoo boy...

Ember: Well, there are three things I could do. One: Pretend this never happened and let you get away with it. Two: Get Miss Piggy over here and tell her what really happened. Or three: Beat you myself! Which one do you think I'm going with?

Boris: *nerveously:* The one where I get away with it?

Ember: Not even close! First, I think I'll beat you a little myself. Hey Patrick!

Patrick: Yes?

Ember: Do you still have that crummy guitar that your cousin gave you?

Boris: (To audience/Readers:) I don't like where this is going...

Patrick: Yes.

Ember: Can I see it?

Patrick: Sure. *pulls out broken guitar from pocket and gives it to Ember*

Ember: *takes guitar* Thanks.

Patrick: Don't mention it. *leaves*

Ember: *smashes guitar over Boris's head so now it's around his neck*

Boris: (To audience/readers again:) I told you...

Ember: Oh, you think it's bad now, but wait 'til I tell Miss Piggy! She's gonna be so mad at you that I bet she'll "Hi-Ya!" you straight across the town! *goes to find Miss Piggy* Oh Miss Piggy!

Boris: O_OU

#35 May 17th, 8:25am . Edited May 17th, 9:28am

(It would've been funnier if Ember had damaged Boris some herself before leaving. But that's just my opinion.)

Gaston: No one hunts like Gaston.

Link Hogthrob: Yes, and no one captains a ship like Link Hogthrob.

(See why I casted Gaston in the role?)

#36 May 17th, 8:33am

(Okay. I think I'll do that...)

Scooter: Those two are so alike, it's almost scary.

Edd: Tell me about it...

Norm: All right, we have a job for the four of you.

Chip: Okay.

Norm: YOu four will be operating the switchboard tonight.

Andy, Randy, Chip & Skip: Oh! Right, the switchborard!

Skip: ... What's a switchboard?

Clifford: Man, I don't think that they can do this.

Norm: They're the only four without jobs at the moment. I think that they can handle it.

*phones ring*

A, R, C & S: AAHHH!!! *hide under the table*

Norm: Then again, I've been wrong sometimes...

Clifford: *facepalm* Just answer the phones, guys!

The Four Stooges: Oh! *answer the phones at the same time* Hello!

Andy: ... 14 million dollars?

Norm & Clifford: *eyes light up (not literally)*

Skip: Sorry, we can't count that high.

All four: Good bye! *hang up*

Clifford: Are you guys nuts!?

Norm: How can you give up 14 million dollars?

Chip: Oh, they weren't for us...

Randy: They were for you.

Norm & Clifford: *dumbfounded*

Clifford: *facepalm*

Norm: *under his breath* Idiots...

#38 May 17th, 8:58am

Patrick: You rang?

Clifford: Will you get outta here?!

Norm: Yeah! We don't need anymore idiots!

Cheese: My foot smells like potatoes.

Skip: Really? *smells Cheese's feet* Wow, you're right! They do!

Andy: Really? Let me see!

Norm: *facepalm* This can't be happening...

Clifford: How did he even get here?!

Miss Piggy (OS): Hiiii-Ya!

Clifford: Augh, now wha- *sees Boris fly straight out of the theater... and town...* O_O

Patrick: The same way he left?

Norm: *glares at Patrick* If there weren't rules against strangling an innocent yet stupid starfish who is also the star of a show, I'd be strangling you right now.

Ami: Interesting.

Ember: Hey, Yumi. Do you know where Dr. Teeth is?

Yumi: Last time I saw him, he was rehearsing with the rest of the Mayhem band.

Ember: Thanks. *goes in that direction*

#40 May 17th, 9:30am

(Spongebob and Gonzo see Boris's exit as well)

Gonzo: Is he part of the act?

Spongebob: Not that I know of. Maybe it's one of those pre-show things. You know, to keep the audience entertained.

Gonzo: What?! Oh, lucky!

Spongebob: So Gonzo, have any of your acts ever included jellyfish before?

Gonzo: I can't remember any, but I think I had one in my pants one time before...

Spongebob: Really? How did it feel?

Gonzo: Kinda weird. You wanna go practice getting shot out of a cannon?

Gonzo: Hey Clay! Did you see the pre-show act?! That was great! Say, where's Kermit?

Clay: He was chased out by a bunch of fans. And what do you mean "pre-show act"?

Spongebob: Hahahahaha! Don't play dumb with us, Clay!

Gonzo: Yeah, we both saw that one guy fly out of the stadium and out of town!

Clay: Well, I don't know anything about that.

Spongebob: Anyway, do you know where Gonzo and I can find a cannon? We're gonna practice for our act.

Clay: Sorry, guys. I'm afraid I don't.

Gonzo: Well, how about some matches so that we can light ourselves on fire?

Clay: Um, no.

Spongebob: How about some bombs so that we can juggle them?

Clay: Nope.

Spongebob: Aw barnacles. Well, come on Gonzo. Let's see if we can find any lightsabers to practice our juggling act on a unicycle on a tightrope.

Gonzo: Oooh! How about we juggle lightsabers while we're on unicycles on a tightrope while we're eating Krabby Patties?

Spongebob: Yeah! I'll get started on making those patties right now!

Crypt Keeper: I know. It's my redecoration. (Cackles and Edd, frightened closes the door quickly)

Clay: Um, don't you think you guys would be overdoing it a bit?

Spongebob: Overdoing it?! No way! The audience is gonna love this!

Clay: Well, alright, if you insist. Do you have everything?

Gonzo: Yup. We borrowed the unicycle, cannon and tightrope from a circus, we borrowed some extra lightsabers from the old Star Wars set, Spongebob made some Krabby Patties, and we gave Zim a flamethrower so he could set us on fire after we get shot out of the cannon!
