Hey, just a quick heads up: there's gonna be some, uh, revealing moments ahead and a bit of toilet humor, if you catch my drift. So, you know, if that's not your thing, you might wanna, like, skip this chapter. No judgment here, just want everyone to feel comfy. And I'm not a pervert, this is something that happens all the time on Jerry Springer.
After the break, the audience cheered as the show theme played and all of the guests were each sitting in chairs onstage. On the left side, Angela, who was still barefoot, sat next to her boyfriend, who was still shirtless from earlier. Mike's eyes were slightly red from crying earlier during the commercial break after segment 3. His hand was under his girlfriend's as he shifted in his chair to try and get comfortable. Sitting in the middle were Gypsy and Steve, with the queen, Atta, Mr. Soil, Dr. Flora, Cornelius, and Thorny on the right, while standing behind them were Manny and Stabler. Gypsy was applauding for a moment with the audience, then she stopped as the theme ended as the audience chanted "Jerry", then died down after a few seconds as Jerry handed the mic to an audience woman.
"Yes?" the host asked.
The audience woman stood up and spoke into the mic as she pointed to the queen and Atta. "Hi, Jerry. This comment's for the queen and her daughter over there. As you know, you made a mistake that caused your entire colony to be taken over by the grasshoppers. But what you did after the mistake was what made it all worse." The woman then pointed to Mike and Angela. "And that was banishing their friend without listening to his side of the story. If you had really tried to fix the damage you caused, you would've given him a chance to explain himself in the first place."
The audience applauded with agreement.
"Amen! Amen!" Mike commented back.
"Go to Oprah!" quipped Angela in a chant-like tone.
"GO TO OPRAH! GO TO OPRAH! GO TO OPRAH!" chanted the audience as the queen and Atta sat there with a sad and apologetic look on their faces as they listened to the audience woman's comment. They both understood that the woman was right, and they looked ashamed for their actions.
The audience then died down as the woman sat back in her seat and Jerry walked over to an audience man.
"This is for the so-called queen, the so-called princess and the so-called council," he said as he pointed to the 6 ants. "You ants have your heads so far up the grasshoppers' butts you can see what they eat for their meals."
As the audience erupted into hysterical laughter, a shocked and uncomfortable quiet fell over the queen, Atta, Dr. Flora, Thorny, Cornelius, and Mr. Soil when the man made his comment. They seemed taken aback by his brutal honesty and were clearly not amused by his remark.
The human couple smirked and chuckled a bit, seeming to find the audience man's brutal and honest comment to the queen, her daughter and the Colony Council members hilariously funny.
"It's mostly grain and berries, but you don't wanna see it being digested!" quipped Angela to the man.
"Or when it comes out the other end!" added Mike.
The audience burst out into hysterical laughter at Angela and Mike's comments, as they were all reminded of just how disgusting it would be to watch the grasshoppers' meals going through their digestive systems and coming out the other end.
The queen, Atta, Cornelius, Thorny, Dr. Flora, and Mr. Soil all tried to remain completely silent and maintained a stone cold poker face as the audience laughed obnoxiously at the human couple's remarks. The ants looked a bit annoyed and slightly embarrassed as the audience laughed hysterically at the human's comments about the grasshoppers' digestive systems.
"Don't give me that picture… Too much information…" Jerry quipped, even though he was disgusted by the thought.
The audience laughed as the host acknowledged that the human couple had given out too much information about the grasshoppers' digestive system. However, Mike and Angela couldn't help but smile a bit as they watched the ants all try to keep a straight face after the amusing and disgusting digestive system comments. Jerry walked over to an audience woman as the audience quieted themselves.
"This is for the security moth over there," she said as she pointed to Gypsy. "Does your circus have acts that involve pole dancing?"
Gypsy chuckled along with the audience. "No, sorry! But I'm no stranger when it comes to pole dancing!"
"GO ON THE POLE! GO ON THE POLE! GO ON THE POLE! GO ON THE POLE!" chanted the audience.
As the show theme played and Gypsy stood up, the lights faded to a dim blue color as she went to the pole on the left side of the stage next to the TV set mounted on the window. The audience cheered as Gypsy showed off her pole dancing skills, from the basic climb, to the back hook spin, ballerina spin, fireman spin, chair spin, and different other pole dancing tricks. Mike, Angela, and Manny were applauding with the audience as Manny watched his wife's dance moves with delight. After a while, Gypsy stopped dancing and the lights brightened back up as the show theme stopped and the female gypsy moth walked back to her seat next to Steve.
"Never thought I'd see a bug pole dance on the show," quipped Jerry.
The audience let out a chuckle, then they started chanting, " LET'S SEE ANGELA DANCE! LET'S SEE ANGELA DANCE! LET'S SEE ANGELA DANCE! LET'S SEE ANGELA DANCE"
As Angela stood up and went to the pole, the audience cheered as the show theme played and Angela showed off her pole dancing skills as the lights faded back to dim blue. Mike was applauding for his girlfriend with a smile. After about a minute, the female human stopped dancing and Stabler and Gypsy walked to the middle of the stage as the detective motioned the female human to come over, which she as the show theme stopped and the lights brightened back up.
"We're gonna vote by your applause!" Stabler announced to the audience as he gestured to Angela.
"Number 1!"
The audience cheered for a few seconds, then the detective gestured to Gypsy. "Number 2!"
More audience members cheered for Gypsy than they did for Angela, then Stabler raised up the female moth's hand. "We have a winner!"
Gypsy and Angela cheered along with the audience as they shook each other's hand, exchanging compliments for their dancing before walking back to their seats, while Stabler walked back to his spot behind them, standing a few inches from where Manny was standing.
The audience then quieted themselves as Jerry walked over to an audience man. "This is for Mr. Dirt over there," the man remarked as he pointed to Mr. Soil. "I don't even wanna think about your school's funds. But one thing's for sure, if I had an education company, it sure as hell wouldn't fund your school!"
Mr. Soil was not very amused by the man's comment that implied the ant colony's school was a poor one, and he remained silent and expressionless as he kept a stone cold poker face as the audience laughed and chuckled at the man's comment.
The audience then died down as the host walked over to an audience woman.
"Hey, Jerry," she said with a smile of excitement. "Me and my man have been big fans for a very long time... and we're finally here to get our Jerry beads."
The audience cheered as the show theme played and the woman flashed her chest while her boyfriend flashed his rear end, both of them turning around for everyone to see. The ants and Mike averted their eyes except Angela, who let out a small chuckle. Even Gypsy and Manny looked away, but the moth, mantis, and Mike were all laughing with amusement and disgust. After a moment, the couple stopped flashing and Todd tossed them the Jerry beads as the show theme stops and they caught it and placed them around their necks as the audience chanted "Jerry."
"Is this show always like this?" Gypsy whispered to Steve.
"Yep."
The queen, Atta, Dr. Flora, Mr. Soil, Cornelius, and Thorny were still somewhat uncomfortable and uneasy with the audience woman and her boyfriend's decision to flash. It was not something that they were accustomed to seeing since they were ants who did not have such body parts themselves. Even Gypsy and her husband were not accustomed to seeing things like this, considering that they're bugs who act in a circus in a city and didn't have such body parts as humans do. The only ones who seemed amused by the female audience human and her boyfriend's humorous and bold behavior were Angela and Mike, who seemed to find it quite funny and enjoyed watching the queen, her eldest daughter, and the Colony Council having their delicate sensibilities about such matters as exposure of personal body parts. Jerry then walked over to another woman in the audience, handing his mic to her.
"Hi, I'm here cuz I also want my Jerry beads," she said as she flashed her chest and turned around in a circle.
The audience burst out into huge cheering as Jerry was treated to a show of trashiness and exposure by audience members who flashed their body parts in front of everybody on the stage. As the show theme played, the queen, her eldest daughter, and the Colony Council were somewhat shocked and embarrassed by such blatant displays of exposed personal body parts on stage and tried to remain neutral and expressionless as the audience laughed and cheered.
As the show theme stopped playing and the female audience member stopped flashed, Todd then tossed her the beads and she caught it and placed it around her neck, then sat back in her seat. The audience was silent as Jerry walked over to an audience man.
"This is for the ant doctor over there," he said as he pointed to Dr. Flora. "The fact that you're both a doctor and a council member is just gonna make me lose sleep after this show!"
As the audience chuckled, Dr. Flora looked a bit uncomfortable and embarrassed upon being told that she would be responsible for the audience man losing sleep due to her dual roles as both the medical professional and a member of the ant colony's council.
Mike then quipped to the audience man with a chuckle, "You think you're gonna lose sleep, man?"
"Yeah, you're right, your situation's worse than mine."
The audience chuckled for a moment, then quietened as Jerry walked over to an audience woman and handed his mic to her.
"Hi, this is for princess worrywart over there," she remarked as she pointed to Atta. "You're so uptight that if you had any more sticks in your mouth, you'd be a porcupine."
The audience burst out into a huge laugh as the audience woman made her insulting joke about Atta.
"Yeah, and then I'd spit them all over your stupid freaking face!" the princess shouted angrily to the woman as she resisted all temptations to engage in a heated argument on stage with the female audience member who insulted her. She was clearly not very happy with the joke about her being uptight.
The queen remained upset and angered upon seeing the angry, hurt, and offended expression on her eldest daughter's face. She knew that Atta's uptight personality was a trait that the princess often tried to suppress and not take offense from whenever others poke fun at it.
The audience died down as Jerry walked over to another woman in the audience.
"Hi, mine's for the short, grumpy ant over there and the old wrinkly prune with the walking stick," she remarked as she pointed to Thorny and Cornelius. "You're so crusty and uptight that if you didn't shower for three months, you wouldn't even need a coat to stay warm in the cold winter weather."
The audience exclaimed with laughter as Thorny and Cornelius held back their anger towards the woman. The audience then silenced themselves as Jerry walked over to an audience man.
"For all of the 6 ants, considering you ants don't wear any clothes, the shirtless human and his girlfriend have better bods than y'all!" he said as he pointed at Mike and Angela.
The audience burst out into a huge laugh and applause after the comment was directed towards the ants as the audience man pointed out that Angela and Mike had nicer bodies than the ants, despite the fact that the ants did not dress themselves in clothes like the humans did.
"We're flattered!" Mike quipped.
"But we're taken by each other! Sorry!" added Angela.
The audience laughed some more as Angela playfully pointed out that though they were flattered by the audience man's compliment about how they both have nicer bodies than the ants, they were unfortunately already in a relationship.
"LET'S SEE YOURS! LET'S SEE YOURS! LET'S SEE YOURS! LET'S SEE YOURS!" the audience chanted to Angela.
The female human rolled her eyes in amusement and stood up, lifted her crop tank and flashed her chest.
The audience burst out into a huge cheer as Angela flashed her chest for the audience, while Mike nodded his head approvingly and applauded and laughed in agreement with the crowd cheering at the sight of Angela's bare chest.
Angela stopped flashing and sat back down.
"Nice," Mike softly complimented as the audience grew quiet.
Angrla nodded her head a little in appreciation of Mike's supportive approval, and a playful grin suddenly spread across her face as she noticed his reaction to her brief moment of public exposure.
"Don't you dare leave here without getting your beads," Jerry quipped.
The audience let out a chuckle as Mike said, "I'll make sure we get them, Jerry!"
"I'll be doing that again for you whenever you want me too… And you're welcome to touch as well…" Angela flirtatiously whispered to her boyfriend as she kissed his cheek.
He then blushed as he chuckled, "Ooh, hubba-hubba."
"Alright. Next?" Jerry said as he walked over to an audience couple.
"This one's for the ants over there," the man said.
"I don't know what men and women like about you…" his girlfriend added.
"But you ants sure as hell ain't got this!" The man then flashed his rear while his girlfriend flashed her chest.
The audience laughed and cheered as the show theme played and the female and male audience members flaunted their bodies in a public display of exposure before the whole audience and in front of the queen, her eldest daughter, and the Colony Council. The ants were both shocked and appalled by how the male and female audience members so freely and readily flashed their body parts in front of the entire crowd, but Jerry just stood there laughing and amused by the whole thing.
After a few seconds, the couple stopped flashing and Todd tossed each of them the Jerry beads as the show theme stopped and the audience died down and they caught it and placed them around their necks.
Dr. Flora whispered quietly to Mr. Soil and inquired just how much longer they would have to witness this trashy behavior and crude display being presented to them on stage. The queen meanwhile sat in her chair, remaining silent and unamused by the vulgarity of the audience members' behavior.
Atta, Cornelius, and Thorny sat there silently as they remained quiet and somewhat upset with the obscene behavior displayed by the male and female audience members. They were a bit disgusted by the couple's vulgarity being used on stage.
The audience died down as Jerry walked over to another woman in the audience. "Hi, mine's for the human couple, and the security moth stole her looks from me, by the way."
As she was about to continue her comment, Gypsy spoke up while chuckling, "How old are you? How old are you?"
"69."
"Oh, yeah, get the hell outta here!" the moth quipped as she pointed her thumb behind her and the audience, Steve, Manny, and Stabler all erupted into laughter while the host chuckled.
Suddenly, the bell rang 3 times. Both the female audience member and the female moth each got into a boxing stance, acting like they were going to fight each other as the audience laughed and cheered. Then, both the woman and Gypsy hung down and shook their heads as they walked back to their seats, laughing hysterically.
"All right, let's hear it for Gypsy's sister!" Jerry quipped in an announcing tone.
The audience cheered and laughed for a moment, then they chanted, "GYPSY'S SISTER SUCKS! GYPSY'S SISTER SUCKS! GYPSY'S SISTER SUCKS! GYPSY'S SISTER SUCKS!"
The female moth let out a giggle as the chanting faded.
"Take off your shirt!" she quipped to the woman in a chant-like tone, clearly getting into the spirit of the show.
The audience chuckled as the woman continued her comment. "For the human couple, since the queen didn't lecture her eldest daughter, her so-called council, and her subjects on accepting others for who they are and hurt and drove your inventive genius friend away, you should get something for a whip and give it to the queen, the worrywart princess, and the Colony Council old school style."
The audience applauded and chuckled as Mike and Angela raised their fist in agreement.
"Amen!" the shirtless male human said.
"We'll beat their butts so hard, so much until they're so red, they won't be able to sit down!" his girlfriend added.
The audience applauded as the woman said back, "I'll give you my number so you guys can send me a video!"
Mike gave a thumbs up. "You got it!"
Angela then whispered to her boyfriend, "We're not gonna actually do it, are we?"
"Nah. Wouldn't go that far. Just wanted to give a little Jerry spirit."
Angela giggled softly as the queen, Atta, Dr. Flora, Mr. Soil, Cornelius, and Thorny all grew chilly and slightly shifted uncomfortably in their seats at the thought of being lashed repetitively, the feeling that it may never end, and the feeling of their backsides being red as a stop sign and not being able to sit down for God knows how long. The queen interlocked her fingers uncomfortably, while Atta and Dr. Flora lightly gulped nervously as the audience died down and Jerry walked over to an audience man.
"This comment's for Mike and his girl. My sympathies to you, I hope your inventive genius friend is okay and I hope you find him."
Mike and Angela smiled at the man's kind words as the audience applauded.
"Thanks! I appreciate that!" the male human said as the applause quietened and Jerry walked over to another audience man.
"This is for the queen and her daughter over there," he said as he pointed to the queen and Atta. "You know, the human couple's right, you ants should've listened to their inventive friend's reason for lying to your colony, instead of banishing him right away! And you should've lectured your subjects on accepting others for who they are and you ants should've treated your fellow member better!"
The queen and Atta remained quiet upon hearing the man's comment about how the ants should have listened to Flik's reasoning for lying about the circus bugs rather than instantly banishing him and that the ants should've treated Flik better. The queen and her daughter seemed deeply regretful for making a hasty decision that may have cost her colony greatly and probably the relationships with Mike and Angela.
The man then continued, "Coming from the human couple, his lies weren't selfish, they were desperate! Ever think of that?"
As the audience applauded, the queen stayed silent in deep contemplation as she pondered the audience man's comment. She had already begun to accept Flik's reasoning, but hearing the audience man's comment just further reinforced how Flik's actions were desperate and not malicious or selfish as the ants initially believed.
"Amen! Amen!" Angela said.
"Go to Oprah!" Mike quipped in a chant-like tone.
"GO TO OPRAH! GO TO OPRAH! GO TO OPRAH! GO TO OPRAH!" chanted the audience as Jerry walked over to an audience woman for one last comment.
"This is for the old prune ant with the walking stick," she remarked to Cornelius. "You say that you ants harvested the same way when you were a pupa, well, newsflash, honey, some pupae have transparent epidermis that covers the eyes. So I don't know if your eyes were covered or not, but I'm sure your colony's harvested way longer before your wrinkly sorry ass was born."
The audience burst into laughter and applause as Cornelius resisted all temptations to engage in a heated argument with her.
"We'll be back!" Jerry announced as he walked off the set. The audience went wild with cheers of excitement as the show theme played and they watched the host walk off the stage. The show was quickly becoming much more entertaining and thrilling than they had initially anticipated. Gypsy joined in with the audience by applauding as the guests remained in their seats
Mike and Angela held hands as they sat beside each other. Angela smiled and looked over at her boyfriend, clearly enjoying herself during the show and enjoying his company, feeling a bit better along with Mike from the current situation they're going through.
As the audience chanted the host's name, the screen faded to black, then went into commercials.
