FRIDAY’S 5 BIG TV SHOW FAILS. Suffer the pain. 1. ‘Leader Or Droid?’ - Social experiment. We challenge punters to watch recorded interviews with newly elected Labor leader Bill Shorten… to determine whether he’s flesh ‘n’ blood or just another hi-tech Japanese droid (like Kevin before “the great malfunction”). Co-hosted by Rick Deckard and a rebooted Roy Batty. 2. ‘So You Think You Can Walk’ - Reality comp. We coax the undead to follow a walking trail that includes balance beams, tightropes, narrow bridges - anything involving straight lines and a plummet to the true death. Basically, a show designed to rid the world of zombies, for the amusement of the living and/or Labor droids. 3. ‘The Ups & Downs’ - Comedy. When Stan Up accidentally runs his LandCruiser into a school hall fundraiser (for Down syndrome), the court orders Stan to re-house the chromosomally rich survivors. Unable to look a gift horse in the mouth, Stan moves all 23 downeys into his family bungalow… becoming the luckiest overlord in Mount Druitt. But setting the anti-slavery movement back centuries. 4. ‘Could You Put It In An Email’? - A series that explores the growing phenomena of not paying attention when someone talks to you. We tell an average Joe a whole bunch of random shit until he/she blurts out the phrase “Mate, could you put all that into an email?” - which is when we pop Joe into a chaff bag and snail mail him to Siberia. 5. ‘Pageant Gaffes’ - Game show. Do beauty queens really hold the answers to political upheaval, education reform, and advances in Japanese robotics? You betcha! From what sense is best, to why do we care… can you locate the US on a world map, to what was the deal with ‘Lost’ - this is a quiz show with a difference. Points are *deducted* for answers that make sense and *awarded* for silly sound-bites saved by a flashy smile. The winning model gets the nuclear codes and a seat at the UN General Assembly.
