In the dark. dank, and slightly rainy metropolis of NYC, evil lurks. The secret identity of Bad Joke Man (BJ Mann), wakes up.
"6:00 AM," he grumbled. "Oh well, another day another dollar. Oh yeah, super heroes don't get paid. Only one force can withstand the evil, BAD JOKE MAN!
The Mann family was eating breakfast. Phil Mann, the dad, was eating "Fat Filled Fruit Flakes" and Fran Mann' the mom, was eating oatmeal. Baby Herbie, the baby, was eating "Rice Puffs" and BJ Mann, the brother was eating "Triple Cocoa Chocolate Truffle Fluff Puffs" Just then, Herbie started choking. Phil rushed over and performed the Hiemlich Maneuver. Herbie coughed up an object.
"Oh, here's the problem!" Phil said as he held up the toy that came in the box of cereal. Fran fainted. Phil glanced at Baby Herbie. He didn't look too good. "I'm gonna sue Specific Mills!" Phil shouted unhappily. "They should make the toys that come in the cereal box so that they don't look like the cereal!" Just then there was a knock at the door.
"Who's there?" Phil asked.
"Uneada." (Pronounced YOU-NEED-A.)
"Uneada who?"
"Uneada doorbell."
"Gee," said Baby Herbie. "That sounds like. . ." A figure burst in the door. "Bad Joke Man!" Herbie finished.
"Why are you here?" Phil boomed rudely.
"I heard you were suing Specific Mills, the maker of both sugary and healthy cereals (they make my favorite cereal Triple Cocoa Chocolate Truffle Fluff Puffs! (Say that ten times fast!)" Bad Joke Man replied.
“My son was choking on a toy!" Phil yelled. Fran came to.
"Where's BJ, Mommy?" asked Baby Herbie.
"Omigosh! BJ's missing!" Fran said before she fainted again.
"Don't worry, I'll bring him back!" said Bad Joke Man heroically.
"My hero," said Phil sarcastically as Bad Joke Man ran out the door.
One Hour Later...
There was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" asked Phil. "BJ," said the person at the other side of the door.
"Okay; you can come in!" Suddenly BJ fell from the ceiling and landed on a mattress.
"How'd that happen?" wondered a very perplexed Phil. Herbie revived Fran with a bucket of cold water.
"BJ!" exclaimed Fran. "Where were you?"
"Well, a funny thing happened. On my way back from the bathroom, I was captured by The Evil Midget Oswald, but I escaped," explained BJ.
"Who is The Evil Midget Oswald, anyway?" asked Phil.
"He's an evil midget named Oswald who plans to diagnose the world with his Acme Sarcastic Ray!" BJ replied.
"That's horrible!" Fran said.
"Why did you escape?" Herbie asked.
"Because he was about to zap me with his Sarcastic Ray!"
"What's an Acme Sarcastic Ray?" asked Herbie.
"It's a ray that makes the person it hits sarcastic for a week," replied BJ. BJ started for the door.
"And where do you think you're going?" Fran asked BJ. "To go and help police capture the villain," BJ replied.
"Okay, but don't get hurt and be back by dinner time!"
"I will," he called back as he ran upstairs. The first thing he did was go into the bathroom, change into his Bad Joke Man costume, put his anti-grav device in his pocket, and then rushed down the stairs and then out the front door. He pushed the button on the anti-grav device, and ZAM! He flew through the air until at last he arrived at the warehouse where The Evil Midget Oswald was. He slowly entered the building. Suddenly, a ray singed Bad Joke Man's cape! Bad Joke Man looked up at the rafters to where the shot came from.
"Darn, I missed!" said a voice. It was Oswald with the Acme Sarcastic ray! Oswald kept on firing the ray, just narrowly missing Bad Joke Man. So Bad Joke Man pulled put his Acme Fryzap ray. Oswald dropped the Sarcastic Ray and pulled out an Acme Toad Ray. So Bad Joke man pulled out an Acme Dart Gun. I his continued until they both had the same weapons as they did to start with. Oswald jumped down from the rafters so they were face to face. They circled each other until suddenly, Oswald shot the ray! But Bad Joke Man thought quickly and pulled out a mirror, reflecting the ray back at Oswald. BZZZZZZZT!
"I got him!" Bad Joke Man exclaimed
"Yeah right," said Oswald. So Bad joke Man arrested him easily. Once again, justice prevailed because of Bad Joke Man!
The End
