1. Millions of shows
at the click of a button,
Copy !req
2. and here we are watching
reruns of '90s sitcoms.
Copy !req
3. I thought this was supposed
to be the golden age of TV.
Copy !req
4. Indeed. The savage wars
between the media giants
Copy !req
5. have spoiled us
with the abundance
Copy !req
6. of new television content.
Copy !req
7. But the faster they makes it,
Copy !req
8. the faster we watches it.
Copy !req
9. We can binge a full season
of a new show in a single day.
Copy !req
10. Then we have to wait months
for the next season to drop.
Copy !req
11. I'm just gonna come out
and say it,
Copy !req
12. the world needs more TV shows!
Copy !req
13. Then perhaps,
we should make the TV show.
Copy !req
14. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
15. Great idea, Star.
Copy !req
16. But if we're going to make
an awesome TV show,
Copy !req
17. we need to come up
with an idea.
Copy !req
18. It's gotta be so imaginative,
it literally boggles the brain.
Copy !req
19. And it's got to
be hilarious, yo.
Copy !req
20. With them clever jokes.
Copy !req
21. But also it must be filled
with the hearts
Copy !req
22. and the warm emotions.
Copy !req
23. And action!
Copy !req
24. It's got to have a lot
of action, baby!
Copy !req
25. Well, there's only
one type of show
Copy !req
26. that can do
all of those things...
Copy !req
27. Animated shows!
Copy !req
28. Get ready, because today
we're heading to Hollywood
Copy !req
29. to pitch our very own show.
Copy !req
30. Titans go!
Copy !req
31. There it is.
The one magical place
Copy !req
32. that can make
our TV show a reality.
Copy !req
33. That dumpy-looking
office building?
Copy !req
34. All TV shows get their start
Copy !req
35. in dumpy-looking
office buildings.
Copy !req
36. We've come to make an animated
show for television.
Copy !req
37. Who's in charge here?
Copy !req
38. That would be me.
Copy !req
39. Toy Master.
Copy !req
40. That's right, Titans.
Copy !req
41. I'm the boss.
Copy !req
42. I control the cartoons.
Copy !req
43. After all,
cartoons help sell toys.
Copy !req
44. That's where the real money is.
Copy !req
45. We wish to make
the awesome show
Copy !req
46. so that there is even more
to watch on the TV.
Copy !req
47. Fine. I'll give you a shot,
Copy !req
48. but you'll have
to make it through
Copy !req
49. the dreaded process of...
Copy !req
50. TV development!
Copy !req
51. Now the first step
Copy !req
52. is pitching an idea.
Copy !req
53. Not the problem.
Copy !req
54. Each of us
has prepared the pitch
Copy !req
55. in the proper 12-point
courier font,
Copy !req
56. double-spaced, one page format.
Copy !req
57. Great!
Copy !req
58. Now crumple them up
Copy !req
59. and pitch them
at these bottles.
Copy !req
60. What? We spent a lot of time
on these pitches.
Copy !req
61. Don't you at least
want to hear them first?
Copy !req
62. Look, I'm very busy,
Copy !req
63. and I don't have time
to listen to you
Copy !req
64. go on and on about your ideas.
Copy !req
65. I just want to see
if any of them hit.
Copy !req
66. Uh, fine,
then I'll pitch first.
Copy !req
67. Ooh, that pitch was way off.
Copy !req
68. Boring! Not interested.
Copy !req
69. Just not enough meat
to that pitch.
Copy !req
70. We get that pitch all the time.
Copy !req
71. You are our last shot,
Beast Boy.
Copy !req
72. Bring all of the energy
to the pitch.
Copy !req
73. And don't let him throw you off
with his trash talk.
Copy !req
74. Can you speed this up?
Copy !req
75. My next meeting's
in five minutes.
Copy !req
76. All right, Beast Boy,
you've got this.
Copy !req
77. Pitch it. Pitch it good!
Copy !req
78. But don't come off too strong.
Copy !req
79. Hooah!
Copy !req
80. Okay, not the best pitch ever,
Copy !req
81. but not the worst either.
Copy !req
82. Needs some work
Copy !req
83. but has potential.
Copy !req
84. Congratulations!
Copy !req
85. You just won
a TV development deal.
Copy !req
86. I suppose I should take a look
at what you just pitched.
Copy !req
87. Gets ready for
the most original idea
Copy !req
88. you's ever seen.
Copy !req
89. A video game cartoon?
Copy !req
90. Yeah, it's like, what if
video game characters
Copy !req
91. came to life in the real world?
Copy !req
92. Hey, that's what I pitched.
Copy !req
93. Me too.
Copy !req
94. The I as well.
Copy !req
95. We all pitched the same idea.
Copy !req
96. That's because a cartoon
about video game characters
Copy !req
97. is the most over-pitched idea
in Hollywood.
Copy !req
98. But you did pitch it well,
so you'll get to move on
Copy !req
99. to the next step
of the development process,
Copy !req
100. making a pilot.
Copy !req
101. Here's your cheque.
Copy !req
102. Wow!
Copy !req
103. That's a lot of money.
Copy !req
104. Check out all them
zeroes, yo.
Copy !req
105. Woot, woot, woot, whoo!
Copy !req
106. Just to be clear,
Copy !req
107. you need to use this money
to make the pilot.
Copy !req
108. We understand.
Copy !req
109. We'll make sure
to spend this money wisely.
Copy !req
110. Look, Titans, I bought
this expensive standing desk
Copy !req
111. to strengthen my core
while I work.
Copy !req
112. And I bought
this new designer office chair
Copy !req
113. to cushion my booty during
long, unnecessary meetings.
Copy !req
114. I hired a full-time assistant
Copy !req
115. in case we need someone
to order us lunch.
Copy !req
116. Word!
Copy !req
117. And I have hired the assistant
to the assistant.
Copy !req
118. Howdy?
Copy !req
119. In case we need someone
to order us the desserts.
Copy !req
120. Yo, Beastie, what'd you spend
your money on?
Copy !req
121. These video games
for research and development.
Copy !req
122. - Aah!
- Ooh.
Copy !req
123. I want to do some R&D.
Copy !req
124. We've all done a great job
on spending our money wisely.
Copy !req
125. Now, how much do we have left
to make the pilot?
Copy !req
126. I'm on it, El Jefe.
Copy !req
127. The 12 cents.
Copy !req
128. Hmm, that doesn't leave much
to hire animators.
Copy !req
129. It's cool, yo.
Copy !req
130. Cartoons these days
is computer-generated.
Copy !req
131. So let's just put our ideas
into the computer
Copy !req
132. and see what it generates.
Copy !req
133. Great idea, Beast Boy.
Copy !req
134. Everyone, type in your ideas.
Copy !req
135. Action.
Copy !req
136. Sci-fi.
Copy !req
137. Talking animals.
Copy !req
138. Need to run fast.
Copy !req
139. Super cool.
Copy !req
140. Explosions.
Copy !req
141. And now we just press Enter.
Copy !req
142. Power up!
Copy !req
143. It's spiky time!
Copy !req
144. So what do you think?
Copy !req
145. I think it's hot garbage!
Copy !req
146. Whoa!
Copy !req
147. But I could make it into toys,
so it works for me.
Copy !req
148. However, there's still
one final step
Copy !req
149. in the TV development process.
Copy !req
150. The show must get
officially green lit.
Copy !req
151. By the president of the studio?
Copy !req
152. No, no, no.
Copy !req
153. The final decision is made
by spinning the wheel.
Copy !req
154. Land on green light,
Copy !req
155. and we'll make a full season
of your show.
Copy !req
156. So this whole process just
comes down to dumb luck?
Copy !req
157. Of course. That's how
all of Hollywood works.
Copy !req
158. Now you get three spins.
Copy !req
159. Good luck.
Copy !req
160. Round and round
and round we go.
Copy !req
161. Will the wheel reject the show?
Copy !req
162. Sorry. Your shows off-brand.
Copy !req
163. Two more tries
for the green light prize.
Copy !req
164. Sorry, your show tested poorly.
Copy !req
165. One more spin
for a chance to win.
Copy !req
166. Come on, Star,
spin, spin, spin.
Copy !req
167. - You can do it.
- Put your back into it.
Copy !req
168. Oh, I am feeling the lucky.
Copy !req
169. I am feeling the lucky.
Copy !req
170. Congratulations.
Copy !req
171. Your show has officially
been green lit.
Copy !req
172. Uh, don't get too excited.
The show is so bad,
Copy !req
173. it probably won't last
more than a season.
Copy !req
174. I was wrong. Your show's a hit,
Copy !req
175. and the toys have been
selling like crazy.
Copy !req
176. Oh yeah, we's going to be rich.
Copy !req
177. No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
178. That's not how Hollywood works.
Copy !req
179. You don't get the money, I do.
Copy !req
180. Aw!
Copy !req
181. And I've made so much money
off your show
Copy !req
182. that I can finally build
my toy army
Copy !req
183. and take over the world!
Copy !req
184. Oh, no! Our success
is coming back to bite us.
Copy !req
185. Ugh, so Hollywood.
Copy !req
186. We won't let you
get away with this, Toy Master.
Copy !req
187. Try and stop me.
Copy !req
188. Or better yet,
try and stop them.
Copy !req
189. It's spiky time.
Copy !req
190. This won't be easy, we made
these guys super cool.
Copy !req
191. Titans, go!
Copy !req
192. Uh. Oh.
Copy !req
193. Hyah.
Copy !req
194. Why did we give them
so many weapons?
Copy !req
195. Because it's
super cool.
Copy !req
196. Aah!
Copy !req
197. Oh, the no.
Copy !req
198. We have made their powers
more super than our own.
Copy !req
199. You're going down, Spikes.
Copy !req
200. Need to run fast!
Copy !req
201. Aah.
Copy !req
202. Too cool.
Copy !req
203. You're finished, Titans!
Copy !req
204. Destroyed by your own
damn creations.
Copy !req
205. It's good to be the boss.
Copy !req
206. Wait. Did you hear that?
Copy !req
207. He said he's the boss.
Copy !req
208. That's right. I am.
Copy !req
209. I'm the big boss.
Copy !req
210. Well, there's only one thing
Copy !req
211. a video game character
can't resist fighting,
Copy !req
212. and that's the boss.
Copy !req
213. What are you doing? Stay back.
Copy !req
214. No! No!
Copy !req
215. Looks like all that research
Copy !req
216. and development
really paid off, Beast Boy.
Copy !req
217. What can I say? I knows
my video games.
Copy !req
218. Who would have thought
creating a new show
Copy !req
219. would be so difficult
and dangerous.
Copy !req
220. Indeed.
Copy !req
221. Well, who wants to go home
Copy !req
222. and watch some reruns
of '90s sitcoms?
Copy !req
