Praying the show ends quick. Amen. |
Fall brings with it some of my favorite things; football,
Halloween and Mitt Romney saying stupid things out loud. This fall also bring
us the new series Mob Doctor. The bombardment of Mob Doctor promos shown during
a long day of football left me no choice but to drink pretty heavily. This is
either the interview I had with the creator of Mob Doctor (Let’s call him Ketel
One and soda.) or a dream/nightmare I had later that night.
Me -- Ketel, thanks for giving us some time. Let’s jump
right into your new show, Mob Doctor. What made you think a show about a doctor
who killed people for the mob would be interesting?
Ketel -- Thanks, I’m glad you loved it.
Me -- Well, I haven’t seen it yet. But I have seen the
commercials. They’re, um…
Ketel -- Exactly! See she’s a doctor but she
will have to kill people, you know, for the Mob. But since she’s a doctor that’s
like the opposite of what she’s supposed to be doing.
Me -- I feel like killing people for the Mob is the
opposite of what anyone should be doing… But the commercials have me rooting
for everyone to kill each other as quickly as possible so maybe I shouldn’t
judge.
Ketel -- Well, that’s why we’re planning on
really exploring this ethical dilemma.
Me -- How so?
Ketel -- Spin offs!
Me -- No
Ketel Yes!
Me -- Oh, God no
Ketel -- Awesome, right! We have three more shows in
development; Mob UPS Man, Mob Weatherman and Mob Life Insurance Salesman.
Me -- Wow…just…wow.
Ketel -- I know! And you haven’t even heard
the best part.
Me -- I’d argue I haven’t even heard the mediocre part.
Ketel -- The tag lines. I mean, they write
themselves. Check these out -- Mob UPS Man: His next delivery is… death! Mob
Weatherman: The forecast calls for…death!
Me -- Good God, please stop.
Ketel -- Mob Life Insurance Salesman: The
only thing he can’t insure you against is…death!
Me -- Wait, so the guy whose job is selling life insurance can’t
actually insure someone against death?
Ketel -- Fantastic, right?
Me -- Well, I’m definitely throwing away my television.
Ketel -- Great idea! Mob Television Salesman:
The next thing he’ll sell you is…death!
Me -- We should probably just wrap this up. Thanks for your
time…I think.
