(Honking)

Whoa!

Whoa!

Ah!





What are you doing?

Rewinding my CD.

Hi, I’m new, can you tell me

how to get to the office?

Sure, go past grunge.

(Grunge music playing)

Take a left at techno.

(Techno music playing)

Keep going, past the folkies and

the goths.

Don’t ask the folkies for

directions; they’ll just sing

about mistreated railway

workers!

♪ And he laid his hammer down

Then take a right at thrash

metal.

(Screaming)

And the door’s right there!

Next to teen boy bands!

(Boy band music playing)

Thanks!

Our generation has so many

different kinds of music.

Yeah, and they’re all bogus!

Except for ours.

TOGETHERYeah!

But the boy bands are the

worst!

They don’t write songs, they

don’t play instruments, all’s

they do is look cute!

(Girls screaming)

They’re the care bears of

music!

Hey, Julie, I was wondering if

you wanted to go to the mall

later.

Why?

’Cause we’re teenagers...?

Sure, okay!

Hey, are you listening to the

new CD by N’ Talented?

Uh, I didn’t get that one

yet!

You know what sets you apart

from all the other boys in

school?

The fact that I spend way

more on tire care products?

(Giggling)

Your honesty!

Every other boy in school

pretends not to like N’

Talented, just because they’re

popular.

Not me, I’d never pretend not

to like them!

Julie, Julie!

Hi!

(Panting)

It’s... they’re coming to

Bayview!

Who’s coming?

N’ Talented!

(Screaming)

What happened?

Did they clone Leo DiCaprio?

N’ Talented!

(Screaming)

I don’t get it; they’re four

boy singers who don’t even sing!

Puh-lease!

It’s Mitch, Randy, Sammy, and

Ted... this week.

There’s only four of them, but

they’re so hunkalicious!

What’s all the noise?

I’m trying to study for my first

aid exam!

(Groaning)

Oh, Kate’s freaking out

because of some group coming to

town.

Ah, today’s music is just a

bunch of bangin’ and screamin’!

Who is it?

Four goofs called N’

Talented!

N’ Talented?

(Screaming)

♪ Oh baby baby baby

♪ You’re the baby girl for me ♪

Dad, when you were my age,

which, I still don’t get how’s

that’s possible, what kind of

music did you listen to?

(Gasping)

Oh, you know, I was a big

Megadirt fan, but I don’t

suppose you’ve heard of them.

Sure!

(Cheering)

PELSWICKThey were real cool

in their day, before they got

old and ugly and no-one bought

their albums anymore!

CONCERTGOERDude, he’s bald!

(Gasping)

(Screaming)

Whatever happened to them?

(Shushing)

ANNOUNCERWelcome back to

our N’ Talented countdown!

Some sad newsgroup member Ted

was arrested at the zoo today

for an undisclosed feeding

violation!

Oh, Ted!

ANNOUNCERThe new group line

up is Mitch, Randy, Sammy, and,

Bill!

Oh, Bill!

Tickets go on sale in three

days, but apparently some

fanatics are already lined up!

Open up, I need two seats

near the restrooms!



(Sighing)

You gotta come out

eventually, Lewd-win, and when

you do, you’ll still have that

humongous zit on your nose!

Hey, Pels-wheels!

You going to see N’ Talented?

Ha, you’re being funny,

right?

I only listen to downloaded MPs

of unsigned bands.

Alt-rock, punk-folk-fusion,

acid-house-cyberjazz!

That stuff’s trash!

Sprug’s the only band worth

listening to!

Sprug!

(Screaming guitar solo)

PELSWICKWhatever floats

your boat!

(Sighing)

So who’s your, like,

favourite?

I don’t have a favourite; I

like them all!

Plus the ex-members who were

fired due to burnouts, prison,

imprudent marriages, and that

thing that’s never discussed!

You’re lying!

What?

You think Mitch is the

cutest, but you won’t tell me,

’cause I think so too, and

you’re trying to steal him from

me behind my back while my

front’s turned in the other

direction!

I’m not going to dignify that

with a reply, Sandra, but I am

going to do this!

(Muffled screaming)

You lining up for tickets

tomorrow?

Tomorrow, are you kidding?

I’m going straight after school!

(Phone ringing)

Hello?

What!?

Tonight?

No, no, no, I can’t!

But mom!

What is it?

Oh, my uncle’s in the

hospital having a lung removed,

and I have to visit him!

I can’t line up for tickets!

(Sobbing)

(Thunder booming)

Pelswick?

You must have me confused

with someone else!

My hair!

Dude, this is very uncool!

Y’know, only . per cent of

guys actually listen to N’

Talented.

I don’t listen to them,

they’re awful!

(Growling)

You know, in a genuine and good

and skilful way...

Heh heh!

Go Mitch!

Mitch!

(Sighing)

We respect your right to

listen to any kind of music,

just from now on, don’t tell

anyone you know us!

Don’t tell anyone I know us!

Guys, don’t you realize what

two tickets to this concert

means?

They’re not just tickets - oh,

no - they’re a powerful,

irresistible, babe magnet!

(Zapping)

(Swooning)

(Thunder booming)

I’m so glad to see it’s not

just grown men who like N’

Talented!

You girls like them too!

(Giggling)

Shh, there’s an announcement!

ANNOUNCERSad news for N’

Talented fansSammy has left

the group for a soon to be

failed solo career!

The line up is now Mitch,

Randy, Bill, and Craig!

Craig!

(Swooning)

Craig!

(Giggling)



(Sitar music playing)

(Gasping)

Groovy, man!

This reminds me of linin’ up

for Jimmy!

You saw Jimi Hendrix?

Nah, Jimmy Osmond!

Okay, the line wasn’t real

long!

Great group, huh?

I was so excited, I snuck out of

the tuberculosis ward to be

here!

(Coughing)

Great group, huh?

(Coughing)

What are you wearing?

Y’know, the sixties ended in

; that stuff isn’t cool

anymore!

Eh, not this week, anyway!

Your failure to appreciate my

groovy-osity is bringin’ me

down, man!

Whoa, wait, you’re here to

give me a clue on getting better

tickets!

You already got it!

Well, I gotta split!

Got it, got what, the clue?

I missed it, no, tell me again!

Was it about grooviness and

sitars and flowered pants?

Come back!

(Snoring)

(Rooster crowing)

(Cheering)



I was this close!

If it wasn’t for that girl with

tuberculosis tripping me!

(Sobbing)

Ninth row!

That’s so close, you can see

their lips not quite matching

the music!

Who are you talking?

Gram-Gram!

She has a plan to get up front!

(Cheering)

Fake a broken hip, and grab the

boys when they come to help

her!

(Gasping)

(Cackling)

Hi, Julie, how’s your uncle?

Fine.

Luckily there was a guy with

three lungs in the bed next to

him, but I’m not going to the

concert!

Actually, yes you are!

(Screaming)

Oh, Pelswick, you rock!

(Laughing)

Wait ’til I tell my best friend

Sandra!

Sandra, guess whatI’m going to

the concert with Pelswick!

Got the last ones, huh?

Yep, the ladies are gonna

love me!

(Shouting)

On the downside, I’ve got to sit

through a whole concert by these

talentless, butt-wagging pretty

boys, and I’ll actually have to

listen to their songs!

You fraud!

I...

I... uh.

I thought you were more open

minded than the other boys, but

I was wrong!

You’re no better than my

parents!

Why don’t you just listen to

them before you make a judgment!

(Sobbing)

(N’ Talented music playing)

(Knocking)

Hey, champ!

Uh, Kate told me about today, in

a completely non-squealing,

caring, sibling context.

Y’know, I learned that back in

the seventies, when I was lead

guitarist in a Megadirt tribute

bandit’s what you like that

counts!

Dad, I don’t know how to tell

you this, but I think I actually

like N’ Talented!

What are you, nuts?

(Wheelchair engine revving)

I can’t like them!

That’d make me an N’ Talented

liker!

I can’t be that uncool!

Hi, everyone, I’d like to

talk to you about my two

favourite thingsN’ Talented

and sewing my initials in my

underwear.

Goon, Ace?

Actually, we’re not Goon and

Ace; we’re Alan and Adam!

GOON & ACEThe Backwards

Boys!

We couldn’t get tickets, so

we’re auditioning to be the

opening act!

(Laughing)

Like... ow!

Did I mention my collection

of restaurant juice glass

doilies?

(Sighing)

ANNOUNCERAnother N’

Talented updateRandy just got

married, sorry girls, and has

left the group, making the new

line up Mitch, Bill, Craig, and

Evan!

Evan!

(Swooning)

So?

You were right!

I listened to them.

They’re good!

See, you like N’ Talen--

Shh, do you wanna ruin me?

We can enjoy the concert

together!

Okay, I’ll listen one more

time, and this time I’m not

gonna like them at all!

♪ I love your clothes

♪ I love your taste

(Heavy metal playing)

Motor butt!

What you listening to?

Me, oh, just some Euro grunge

world music that I...

No, hey, give me that!

No way!

Hey everybody, Pelswick’s

listening to N’ Talented!

(Laughing)

You going to the concert too?

No!

Well, yeah, but, y’know that’s

just ’cause Julie’s--

And he’s going to the

concert!

(Laughing)

It’s okay, I didn’t tell

anyone!

Thanks.

Oh, hello?

Am I the th caller?

No, you were the first

caller, then the third, then the

ninth, then the eleventh, now

the fifteenth!

Change of plansyou break

your hip, and while you’re

writhing in fake agony, I shimmy

out to the parking lot, and

carve a Gram-Gram sized hole in

the back of their bus with this

baby!

The jaws of smooch!

And then, I tie ’em up with

first aid bandages, and it’s

time for love!

You’re not going to hurt

them?

Well, I may have to splint

their pucker muscles, but

they’ll survive!

(Laughing)

I don’t like N’ Talented!

I never liked N’ Talented!

Um, you seen boogie oogie

oogie woogie dancin’ shoes?

You look ridiculous!

That’s just the hypnotism

talkin’!

I always thought I was cool,

but I like a bunch of cheesy

no-talent lip-synchers!

Why are you dressed like that?

It’s Saturday night!

I’m stayin’ alive while

deepenin’ my love on the lights

of Broadway!

It’s Thursday, and if you

didn’t want me to buy the

tickets, why not just say so?

Where’s the guardianing?

Where’s the angeling?

You show up dressed like John

Travolta!

You don’t help!

Well, I see you understand

the advice, so I’ll be goin’!

What advice?

I missed it again, tell me!

No, don’t go!

(Sighing)

Do not pick up the headphones!

Do not put them on my head!

You’d better not push play!

(Sighing)

Oh, boy, I saw Megadirt here.

Well, until I was knocked

unconscious by a stage diver.

(Megadirt music playing)

But, those were the three

greatest notes!

(Screaming)

Right now, they’re backstage

putting on their matching suits,

plugging in their tape player!

Pelswick’s not here!

Oh, take that off!

What are you ashamed of?

Hi, Julie!

Sandra, how’d you get a

backstage pass?

I’m with the warm-up act!

♪ My love for you, girl

♪ Is bigger than your nose
