April 3, 1997

NARRATOR: Still in the Land of Things That No Longer Exist...
JOHNNY: Hey! CALVIN! WOW! This place is huge! So many things have stopped existing!

CALVIN: Yup. There's "Decency on Network TV", over there's "The Sanctity of Marriage", and there's your friend, "The Achievement Index", he's a newcomer...

JOHNNY: Who's that playing Parchesi with "Creativity in Rock Music"?

CALVIN: That's "David Hasselhoff's Integrity"...
JOHNNY: Oh, from the back it looked like "Andre Agassi's Hairline"...

Popularity rank 3 #54. Buzz bands

February 9, 1997

JOHNNY: Hey Ben, I got the CD of the latest MTV Buzz Band, wanna listen?
BEN: Nah, I'll pass on the brainwashing.

BEN: Maybe it's WRONG to joke Johnny about his hang-up on all things popular. I mean, am I any BETTER? He's controlled by pop culture, but am I not similarly controlled by a sort of ANTI-pop culture? Doesn't my quest to EVADE the clutches of trendiness equate his quest to EMBRACE them?
NOTE: Big-ass contemplative panel

BEN: Well, either way, I still hate Hootie....
JOHNNY: Still just two chords! Genius!

February 6, 1997

BEN: This is INSANE, man. I gotta get outta here....
JOHNNY: I thought you encouraged involvement...

BEN: But this is NUTS! You people are contributing to a brainwashed, buzz-binned, banal, Beavis and Butthead culture. I will not aid in the destruction of individualism!
LABEL: Soapbox!

SOCIAL ELITE CLUB MEMBER: What's the problem, guys?
JOHNNY: Oh, he wants to quit the club, says we're too "conformist" or something....

SOCIAL ELITE CLUB MEMBER: I get it, the "anti establishment" thing, that's coming back, man, very hip....
BEN: AAAH!
