[VICIOUS PLANET INDUSTRIES]

(Cue action scenes from Pokémon: The First Movie and Mewtwo Returns)

Annoucer: He's brash. He's bold. And, he takes no prisoners, except for Eneti and Lugia.

Lugia: Hey, how ya doin'?

MEWTWO 3000

ROCKETING
INTO THE FUTURE!

Mewtwo: (Preparing a psyblast) This blast has your name on it, but only if your name is destructo. Peter Destructo.

Annoucer: His name?

Mewtwo: Mewtwo!

Annoucer: That's right, he's Mewtwo, and he's your new world-wide marketing tool 3000. When it comes to your product or business, he's your space age pack horse.

Mewtwo: (at his desk) Saddle me up and ride me into the future.

Annoucer: Hi, Joseph Wilton, get ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Mewtwo 3000, rocketing into the future!

MEWTWO 3000

ROCKETING
INTO THE FUTURE!

Annoucer: Welcome to Vicious Planet Industries, gateway to humor for literally hundreds of viewers. It all starts with the Mewtwo from Coast to Coast writers. Here they are, hard at work, fine-tuning a script for an upcoming episode. We'd better leave them to their work. They've got more comedy to write. Each of the jokes written by the company are factory tested in a GPI research laboratory, using randomly selected focus group viewers.

Lugia: That's not my hand, it's my silver wing.

No reaction from the focus group.

Annoucer: Oh, that line needs a little reworking. ("silver wing" is erased on chalk board. Joey gets an idea.)

Lugia: That's not my hand, it's my butt.

One person in the focus group laughs.

Annoucer: Looks like we've got a winner! We'll take a closer look at the making of Mewtwo from Coast to Coast in a moment, but first...

THE BRAND
CALLED ME

Annoucer: It's a brand new world. Everything you wear.

Camera zooms in on a row of sneakers.

Annoucer: The sneakers on your feet? [BRANDED]

Camera zooms in on a row of sneakers again.

Annoucer: The hat on your head? [BRANDED]

Camera zooms in on a row of sneakers yet again.

Annoucer: How about the coffee you drink? All...[BRANDED]

Mewtwo: It's time for me, and you, to learn a little bit about branding.

Eneti: Mewtwo, do you mean "branding" with a hot iron?

Mewtwo: Ha ha ha heh. No, Eneti, not that type of branding.

Eneti's monitor says:

HA HA HA HEH. NO ENETI.

Lugia: Then tell us, Mewtwo. What's "branding"?

Mewtwo: Here, let me explain. Let's say you have a rowboat, a cow, and a big man.

Lugia: You mean Clarence Clemmons?

Mewtwo: Of course. Now the cow wants to transport Clarence across the river. But remember, the cow is on fire, and Clarence has no hands or bucket, so he has to untilize his hooks, and the mighty power of his saxophone!
Annoucer: Mewtwo is talking about the three R's. Reliability, Ratings and (Reliver, replaced by) Delivery. Let's start with R number one:

RELIABILITY

Annoucer: (multicolor text "RESEARCH" flies across the screen) Based on our analysis of relative price value factors, subjective hosted product placement decisions versus generic yield acceptibilty, our directly linked network programming identity and the investment in demographic icon synergisticality.

Mewtwo: (head pops up) It's that simple, and that hard.

Annoucer: Let's look at R number two: (multicolor text "POWER" flies across screen)

Mewtwo: What's the real power of me?

Annoucer: Mewtwo is talking about the Feature Benefit Model (subtitle: FEATURE BENEFIT MODEL)

Mewtwo: Remember, 'power' is not a dirty word.

Annoucer: In a moment we'll take a closer look at Mewtwo as a Feature Benefit Model. (subtitle: FEATURE BENEFIT MODEL)

Mewtwo: (His image in on the studio monitor) I'm starting with the man in the mirror.

Annoucer: But first, this:

MEWTWO 3000

OPERATION
STAR POWER

Annoucer: An integral element of the success that is Mewtwo from Coast to Coast is the remarkable celebrity interviews. Here's a sneak peak at an upcoming interview with the one and only Tony Bennett.

Eneti's monitor reads:

AN INTERGRAL ELEMENT OF THE SUCCESS

Followed by:

THE REMARKABLE CELEBRITY INTERVEIWS

Mewtwo: (Tony lowers from ceiling on studio monitor) Greetings!

MEWTWO 3000

SUPERSTAR
TOM ARNOLD

Annoucer: Now, let's join Mewtwo and the star of "Car Pool" and "Big Bully", Tom Arnold.

Tom Arnold: Actually, that first one was called "Tom". This show is called "The Tom Show", which is different. And that, because I think it's easier to find in the TV Guide.

Mewtwo: You should call it "Tommy".

Tom Arnold: Yeah, I though of that, my grandma would like that. Um, but, you know, I'm not sure...

Mewtwo: How about "Tom Tom the Tom"?

Tom Arnold: What was that again? "Tom Tom the Tom"?

Mewtwo: No, "Tom Tom the Tom Tom". Tom.

Tom Arnold: That's, that's, that's good. I mean, that's, that's ok...

Eneti: (walks out of control room)

Mewtwo: He, HEY! ENETI, PUT YOUR PANTS ON AND DIRECT THE SHOW!

Eneti: Get lost, man!

Annoucer: Let's stop here, we don't wanna give to much away. Now, let's listen to Mewtwo as he tells us about his upcoming guests.

Mewtwo: Rap group Afro-Plane. Female Kathy Kinny. Ginny, The Dog Who Saves Cats. Dinner and a Movie Hosts, Paul and Annabelle.

Paul Gilmartin: How ya' doin', Mewtwo?

Annabelle Gurwitch: Oh, hey there!

Mewtwo: From the pop group "They Might Be Giants", John Flansburgh. Everyone's favorite fanfic author, Vicious Mewtwo himself!

V. Mewtwo: Are you scared?

Mewtwo: And special surprise guest, William, the King of Imagination!

William: My name is William, I am the King of Imagination. I am a modern wizard in training.

STRATEGIC
SYNERGY

Annoucer: Sporting Goods.

Mewtwo: (In a tennis outfit) Tennis, anyone?

Annoucer: Psychic Advisor.

Mewtwo: (Wearing a "Miss Cleo" hat) Only I can see your future, I've been there!

Annoucer: Dermatological creams and jellies.

Mewtwo has zits all over his face.

Mewtwo: (Zits flash off his face) Wow! Look out, girls!

Annoucer: Who can turn the world on with a smile?

Eneti's monitor shows the VICIOUS PLANET INDUSTRIES logo, and the caption:

WHO CAN TURN THE WORLD ON WITH A SMILE?

Eneti: (Pulls lever) Mewtwo! (Mewtwo smiles, his teeth sparkle)

Annoucer: Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worth while?(Mewtwo dances at his desk)

Mewtwo: You know who!

Annoucer: That's right! And you too can take advantage of this lantern like jaw. I mean, look at it!

Mewtwo: (close up of his jaw) Eh? There you go.

Annoucer: Just think of how your next corporate retreat would be with a surprise guest by the man himself.

Eneti's Monitor reads:

APPEARANCE BY THE MAN HIMSELF

Eneti: (pulls lever) Mewtwo!

Eneti's Monitor reads:

MEWTWO!

Mewtwo smiles, his teeth sparkle

Annoucer: Here's a sample.

Mewtwo: Greetings, cooling and heating fixture citizens of America! Climate control! Am I right? (taps his card)

Annoucer: But that's not all, Mewtwo can also handle your landscaping needs, home or office.

Mewtwo: (riding a lawn tractor) Dyin' out here! Can I get a glass of water?

Annoucer: Imagine the envy of your business competitors when they see Mewtwo bush hogging your shrubbery.

Mewtwo: (as his tail gets caught in the mower) Oh, my tail! My tail! AAAAAAH!

STILL
NOT CONVINCED?

Annoucer: For a limited time only, if you take advantage of the power of Mewtwo, you'll recieve this deluxe canister set! Think of it, a dashing Pokémon and a deluxe canister set, available this calander year. And also, this shiny object! You heard right, a dashing Pokémon, a deluxe canister set, and a shiny object all in one out-of-this-world package! Oh, and hey, look at this!

Joey does the old "Disconnected Thumb" trick.

Annoucer: (Rim shot) Ow! How does he do that? I wonder... Now, look over here.

MEWTWO 3000

BEHIND
THE SCENES

Annoucer: Lugia's in the recording studio, about to record those funny lines the writer's were writing earlier. Let's listen:

Lugia: That's not my hand, it's your butt.

Eneti: No, no, no, my butt.

Lugia: Well, that's what I'm sayin', it's your your butt.

Eneti: No, it's not your butt: my butt.

Lugia: That's what I just said: your butt.

Eneti: My butt!

Lugia: So...your butt.

Eneti: JUST DO THE LINE!

Annoucer: And there, the tapes are put into a magic closet where they will sit for 3 magical weeks. After this magical waiting period, the tapes are then put ...somewhere. But, that's not important. What's important is that Mewtwo is your ticket to a solid financial future. (big $ appears, with cash register sound)

Mewtwo: Your future with me is unlimited!

Lugia: (Says something japanese)

Annoucer: What does that mean?

Lugia: It means "shut your mouth"!

Annoucer: But I'm not even on your planet.

Lugia: (pause) Who are you?

Eneti: (Laughs)

Annoucer: As you can plainly see, life on New Island is fun, and you, too, can be a part of that fun! Let's take a closer look.

Eneti's monitor reads:

LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK

Eneti: Ho ho, yeah!

MEWTWO 3000

Mewtwo: (behind a big can of Nurse Cola: Diet) Drink this soda! It's gooood stuff!

MEWTWO 3000

WHAT'S THE
FUTURE OF YOU?

Mewtwo: When it comes time to allocate your advertising dollars, and/or to make your endorsment selection, please let the Mewtwo be a part of the future of you!

Annoucer: Why? Because Mewtwo from Coast to Coast is-

A SOLUTION
WITH REAL VALUE

Mewtwo: (sputters) Well, that makes sense even to a brash pokémon such as me!

Eneti: That's right, M2.

Mewtwo: That's right, Eneti.

Lugia: That's right, Mewtwo.

Mewtwo: That's right, Lugia.

Celebi: That's right, Mewtwo, Lugia, and Eneti.

Annoucer: That's right, guys. I guess that's why we call Mewtwo from Coast to
Coast-

A VALUABLE SOLUTION
WITH REAL

Annoucer: (a high speed montage of all of Mewtwo: Coast to Coast's episodes, plus a few surprises) So, what have we learned? (laughs) Heck, I don't know. That this is one crazy show, and I'm John Johnston. Bye now!

(Opening theme and titles)

Mewtwo: (Appears) Hello, I am Mewtwo. My guests are the winners of the "Haikuin' for Mewtwo" contest, Ryah Rosenberg and Sean Medlock. Lugia, play me to the desk and let's get this over with.

Lugia: (plays a very short intro)

Mewtwo: Now, let's meet our first winner, Ryah Rosenberg.

Ryah Rosenberg: Hey, great to be here.

Mewtwo: Tell us a bit about yourself.

Ryah Rosenberg: I am from Phoenix, Arizona...

Mewtwo: Ok, read your thing.

Ryah Rosenberg: All right, my winning haiku went something like this:
I'll level with you.
Let me on your show, I want
A day off from school.

Mewtwo: (pause) (blasts her off) Eneti, send out the other one.

Eneti: (Throws lever, and Sean's image becomes photo-negative)

Eneti's monitor reads:

CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE

And

DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE

Sean Medlock: (makes faces and funny noises)

Eneti: Whoops! (Laughs) (throws lever) Whoops! (throws lever over and over, making Sean contort) Whoops!

Mewtwo: Eneti, send him out!

Eneti: Awright, awright. (Throws level, sending Sean out to the studio monitor)

Mewtwo: Ok, Medlock, read your deal.

Sean Medlock: I hope I don't win.
The rules say to bring a friend.
I don't have any.

Mewtwo: You won for that?

Sean Medlock: Mm hmm, kinda surprising, isn't it?

Mewtwo: Yep, goodnight, everybody!

(Credits roll, with all those guests mentioned also!)

Mewtwo: This is the end of the show.
