Welp. This is not how you expected to spend your night.
Cuddled up on your couch covered by a blanket, you suddenly woke up in odd flamboyant clothing(thanks, Dark World) and in a strange world. Ah, yes, the Dark World. Maybe you recognize it, maybe you don't. But the fact remains: you have no idea where the hell you are. Advancing forward through some dusty wood catwalks, you can feel something...watching you. Even the occasional camera flash. And sometimes, a sound of static. The whole area smells like your couch, too. Maybe, in a way, you're still in your house? And as you advance, you suddenly step on a pile of dust, slipping and hitting your face on the wooden ground. A laugh track plays from somewhere far, far away. You rub the dust and splinters off your face with a pained grunt, honestly fed up with all this crap when you were, quite frankly, just planning to SLEEP. NORMALLY. But of course, the world had other plans. And during your little outburst of physical pain, a deep, booming voice echoes in your direction.
"What an AMAZING performance! The audience is in TEARS, folks! What a lovely contestant we have today! So, people, how about a warm welcome to our friend!? MIKE! PLAY THE VHS!"
And so, you just kind of sit there through an entire CRT video with a pathetic level of editing, that explains absolutely nothing in all its phosphor screen disgrace. Plus the poorly rendered 3D is a real headache. All you get from it is the name of the show. Mr (Ant) Tenna's TV Time. Kind of on the nose. And so descends Tenna from the sky. The man with a TV for a head is huge, not to mention the length of his nose. Red suit, yellow tie, chummy smile, huge frame, loud announcer voice...this guy has all the makings to run a show! He leans down to look at you with a wide grin. Actually, he kind of feels familiar. Yes, you have a CRT in your living room, right? And it was plugged in for the first time in years when you fell asleep. Somehow, it's possible that this man, Tenna, the host of TV Time, is YOUR TV.
"Thank you, thank you, everybody! I'm sure that warm welcome really warmed our friend up! Everyone in a 20 meter radius oughta be on FIRE right now! Welcome to the one place where there's never a need for a pause button! The one! The only! Mr (Ant) Tenna's TV Time! Marvelous Mystery Board edition! And today, we have a very, VERY special guest, as you can all see!"
He "winks" at the cameras, which is kind of impossible because he has no visible eyes, but a cartoony star leaves his screen, so you can tell he doesn't really operate on the same plane as you. No, the very way he feels is off. What a guy, he really stands out. He snaps his fingers, and a boom mic is lowered to your height as he points at you with a wacky expression. Viewers eat that right up.
"Now, may we have an introduction!? All good STARS have good NAMES! C'mon, now!"
This is definitely not how you expected to spend your night.
