What If? Min Fanfics

[on:]

The basic idea of this is that someone posts a mini fanfic, (like one that would fit into about 5 minutes of animation), then at the end gives a topic (like a what if question.  The next person has to write something on that topic, then post a new topic, and so on.
I'll start with a topic.

What if Zoidberg became rich?

[Reply #1 on:]

Hey, you didn't write anything yourself...

[Reply #2 on:]

well i didn't want to write about my own topic...

[Reply #3 on:]

What If "That Guy" came back?...

We set the opening scene; 'Que That Guy'. 'That Guy' walks onto the screen, and says "I'm back!".

Fry then says "Hey look everybody, it's That Guy!".

The whole Planet Express gang looks stunned, and Hermes replies; "But That's impossible!"

We then have a scene of Zoidberg sitting on the couch watching the 'What If' machine...

Professor Farnsworth walks in and angrily yells; "Hey, I thought I told you not to touch that thing!".

And that's 'What If, That Guy?'...

I guess I'll do my own. It might be too long to flash though.

"What if Dr. Zoidberg became rich?"

(We see the planet express crew sitting around the TV.  The news is on.)

Linda: "And now it's time for todays winning lottery numbers."

(The crew pulls out their tickets, except for Bender.)

Hermes: "Well if I lose I can use my ticket to roll a... nevermind."

Bender: (his door is bulging) "I prefer to work for my money. Lottery is for chumps." (his door pops open, and assorted wallets fall out. He drops to the floor and picks them up)

Linda: "The winning numbers are 8, 12, 27, 38, and 42."

Zoidberg: "Oh no, they called my number, now I'll have to go and fight."

Leela: "No Zoidberg, you won ten million dollars!"

Zoidberg: "Hurrah for me!" (claps claws together)

(next scene. Zoidberg is at a super market, talking to the owner. His shell is bulging.)

Zoidberg: "How much does it cost for this store."

Owner: (chuckles) "Sir, it would cost about one million dollars."

Zoidberg: "Done! Let me get my money."

(See owners face and we hear squishing noises)

Owner: (Holding mound of money covered in mucus) "May I axe you why you don't just keep your money in a bank?"

Zoidberg: "Bah! We crustaceans don't trust banks. We prefer our own shells."

(Owner walks, out the door, disgusted.)

Zoidberg: "Finally, I have what I've always wanted.  Money, and a food store!"

(He jumps off screen. We hear slurping and other disgusting noises. Then, we see the supermarket.  All the food is gone, there are only empty shelves.)

Zoidberg: "But I'm still so hungry!"

(He jumps off screen again.  We see the supermarket again, and this time all the shelves are gone. One dollar bill floats down in front of Zoidberg.  He picks it up and eats it.)

Zoidberg: "Sooooo tasty."

(More money comes out from under his clothes. He bends down and eats it all.)

Zoidberg: "Nooooooo, now I'm broke!"

(Scene zooms out and we see Zoidberg sitting, watching the screen.)

Zoidberg: "So that's what would happen if I wasn't so desperately poor."

(Scene zooms out and we see the Professor sitting, watching the screen.0

Professor: "So that's what would happen if I let Zoidberg use the What-If Machine."

The new topic:

What if hermes joined a limbo team again?

[Reply #10 on:]

ROFL!!! That flash movie is the funniest thing I've seen for weeks. Hermes' tongue movement was the best bit!

[Reply #11 on:]

That's awesome, Bofr@, I'm so honoured you decided to animate my idea 

[Reply #12 on:]

yeah that movie is very funny Bofr   

[Reply #13 on:]

My god that was hysterical. Hermes was great!

Here's my attempt, pretty long:

We open on the oval office complete with the HEAD OF RICHARD NIXON and an ADVISOR .The advisor is holding what appears to be a piece of graphing paper.

Advisor: Sir, you public approval rating is falling through the floor.
 
As he speaks a redline draws itself on the graph starting high then steadily dropping before falling of the bottom of the graph and crashing through the floor

Nixon: Well, what do those damn hippies want then?

Advisor: We need to take their mind of the fact that you liberalised the human organ     trade and spent half of last years budget on refurbishments to your latest body. Earth needs a hero everyone can get behind.
 
Nixon. Hmm, can’t we just send Brannigan to beat down those pinkos in the Nebula of Tranquillity again?

Advisor: Ordinarily sir, but the DOOP says if we attack one more peaceable planet they will declare war on us.

Nxion: Hmm, the DOOP… could we win?

Advisor shakes his head

Nixon: Well, who will be our hero then?

Advisor: There is one sir.

Cut to HERMES happily stamping away in his office. A BLACK ROBOT as tall as a normal human wearing a hat and dark shades appears in front of Hermes. He is carrying a briefcase

Hermes: Sweet Condor of El Salvador! Who the hell are you?

Black Robot: That is unimportant

The robot reaches out revealing one of his fingers is a syringe. He drives the syringe into Hermes’s neck. Hermes slumps into his chair.

Fade out/fade in

Hermes wakes up in an empty office, he stands up energised.

Hermes: Wife, get me lycra out, I’m going to the Olympics!

A shot of the cover of “Sports Animated” showing Hermes at the Olympics folowwed by a montage set to steel drums showing various heights of the limbo bar being attemptedat the games. An Amazonian walks up to the bar and walks directly into it, an Omicronian unable to get under the bar eats the officials, a large Paramecium from Vega4 ingests the bar. Hermes gets under each height with ease.
The bar is lowered to a few centimetres off the ground.
We see Lrr and Nixon in the stand.

Lrrr: (to Nixon) Only the competitor from  our bitter enemy Articulon-5 (we see a shot of the competitor: a humanoid with 7 joints between his knee and his ankle, he bends each one backwards leaving him level with the ground as he passes under the bar.) Instruct your “Hermes Conrad” to destroy the Articulonian or your earth will be destroyed.

Nixon: (to advisor) How long are those drugs going to last?

Advisor: (looks to watch) Ahh, another 12 seconds.

Back at the limbo, Hermes is attempting the new height. As he makes halfway under the bar when the drugs wear of the glazed expression on his face breaks and we see his memory of the kid breaking himself in an attempt to emulate him.

Hermes: Sweet louse of Laos! What am I doing?

He stands up, knocking over the bar.

Lrr: Nixon, your competitor has failed, your people shall perish!

As a series of Omicronian ships enter the arena killing everyone in sight we cut to reveal LaBarbara sitting in front of the What if Machine.

Labarabara: Mmm, but I just love to see my man in that uniform

EDIT: Someone with a better imagination than me can make up a new topic. Also, Whoo, a Poppler no more!

[Reply #17 on:]

That was good, Sci_bot, do you have a topic?

Bofr@, That movie was awesome, Hermes was great

[Reply #18 on:]

If I ever have enough free time to a) learn how to use my Flash program, and b) to actually use it, I'll animate these. I'm not making any promises though.

[Reply #19 on:]

That would be cool. (If you find the time)

Could someone give a topic, i gave two already, and it'd be nice to mix things up

[Reply #20 on:]

What if Zoidberg was a real docter?

[Reply #21 on:]

The show'd be a lot less funny.

[Reply #22 on:]

What if the crew would travel back in Frys time and would be stuck there???

[Reply #23 on:]

fry would get them full time jobs at penuccis, and they'd play alot of video games...and be freaks.

[Reply #24 on:]

LOL,
that would be cool,
Zoidberg as a Pizzabaker,
Farnsworth selling them
and HErmes as Delivery Man....
