Who Writes This Crap?: Difference between revisions

** It happens again in a normal episode when Kyon is thinking about how crazy his life has become and says "Who wrote this scenario? Was it Haruhi?"

* A variant from the [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] dub of ''[[Kirby]] [[Kirby Right Back At Ya|Right Back At Ya!]]'', in an episode where [[Stealth Pun|Meta]] Knight is recording dialogue for a [[Show Within a Show]] produced by King Dedede:

** In the original, he says something like "I can't make that sound cool" after losing his enthusiasm towards the end of his line.

* Lord Ryuu says exactly this during a battle in ''[[RG Veda]]''. Kind of jarring considering it's a ''Fantasy'' series.

== Fan Works ==

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series]]'' and Megami33's ''[[Sailor Moon Abridged]]'' like to take [[Macekre|Macekreed]] lines and say them ''as they are written'', wholesale or paraphrased. You see [[Not Making This Up Disclaimer|disclaimers]] that this is the case.

** Finally, Raye got fed up with this.

'''Raye:''' Okay, who the <nowiki>*bleep*</nowiki> writes these lines? }}

* There was one in ''[[Avatar: The Abridged Series]]'' too, just after Aang get pwned by Jet: "Okay, seriously, ''what the crap''? Who ''wrote'' this episode?"

* In episode 7 of ''[[Wedding Peach Abridged]]'', Jama P told the love angels about the devil infecting rice with "the essence of fatness", and when they said it was lame, he said, "Hey! I didn't write this script, so don't complain to me!"

* ''[[Ranma Abridged|Ranma 1/2: The Abridged Chronicles]]'' did this with Kunō as well, although only those who watched the original dub would be able to recognize it.

'''Kunō:''' I have no idea. But it sounded sexy. }}

** That one is actually a quote from Shakespeare, [[Much Ado About Nothing]]. Slightly misquoted, but it's at least partially understandable as the western version of the classical Japanese poetry Kunō would likely be spouting.

** The words in the original manga were "What's that? You say you beat your pistol?", which isn't much better.

* ''[[Re Boot the Abridged Series]]''

* In ''Zelda's PRIDE Force'', a flash cartoon on Newgrounds, the final words come from animated versions of the creators.

'''Nalem:''' There was a script? }}

* In a [[Harry Potter]] [[Fan Fiction]] ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2254006/1/ Made With Our Love]'', the author mocks several fanfic sub-genres/tropes {{spoiler|most notably [[Foe Yay]] and M-Preg}} through Harry doing something that has become something of a cliche within those sub-genres. In the twist ending, {{spoiler|it turns out he'd done it as a dare, and}} Harry admits that he'd gotten his idea for it from "some piece of crap on the internet."

== Films -- Animation ==

* From ''[[Fantasia 2000]]'':

** FYI, the flamingoes use the yo-yo string to clean their beaks. Just... don't ask how I know that.

*** *deep breath*

* In ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire]],'' Ms. Packard complains about one of the bad jokes on the intercom announcements:

== Films -- Live-Action ==

* ''[[Galaxy Quest]]''. [[And You Thought It Was a Game]] plus [[No OSHA Compliance]] equals [[Death Course]]:

'''Gwen:''' Whoever wrote this episode should ''DIE''! }}

* From ''[[Top Secret]]'':

''(long pause with off-camera grumbles; [[Aside Glance|both look at camera]])'' }}

* ''Cat's Eye'': A character played by James Woods complains "Who writes this crap?" while watching David Cronenberg's ''The Dead Zone'' on TV. ([[Stephen King]] wrote the screenplay for ''Cat's Eye''.)

== Literature ==

* In ''[[Heralds of Valdemar|Winds of Change]]'', Wintermoon describes the reunion of Skif and [[Catgirl|Nyara]] in similar terms. He found it funny, but also touchingly sweet:

** [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-february-13-2008/return-of-the-writers Or when the writers return from a strike.]

* ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' had one of their Nobel Award Nights (as if it was like Oscar Night) where Kitty Kelly and [[Gabriel Garcia Marquez]] are introducing an award.

'''Garcia Marquez:''' I can't read this crap. }}

* ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]'':

* In ''[[Blackadder]] III'', the actors hired to give Prince George elocution lessons look over Blackadder's speech, snort, giggle, then finally say "Who wrote this drivel?!" This slight, combined with his general hatred of actors, is what causes Blackadder to seriously consider resigning as George's butler. Of course, being [[Magnificent Bastard|Blackadder]], he ends up {{spoiler|having the actors ''wrongly executed for treason''}}.

** It should be noted that [[Informed Flaw|we never actually had the chance to read the actual content of the script in question]]. In a previous episode, Blackadder is hinted to be of exceptional literary talent in-universe, with the show's [[Samuel Johnson]] (who hangs out with Byron, Shelley, and Coleridge, no less) declaring his ultimately unpublished novel as a masterpiece. So while the keywords were indeed spoken, we never knew whether it's actually meant as a [[Take That]] against bad writing or just sour grapes of pretentious actors.

* In an episode of ''[[So You Think You Can Dance]]'' the host Cat Deely asked this after joking about a dancer's name that's pronounced "a day" -- "It was Ade to remember..."

* Canadian TV writer/producer Greg Lawrence often made references to his own apparent lack of writing skill in his shows ''[[Kevin Spencer]]'' and ''Butch Patterson: Private Dick''. As just one example:

'''Butch:''' ''(also played by Lawrence)'' Just think how the writer feels. }}

* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' took potshots at some of its less well-written episodes in "The Monster at the End of this Book", wherein the author of the ''Supernatural'' book series, really a prophet, apologizes to the main characters for having forced them to live "bad writing".

** ''[[Stargate: Continuum]]'' has a line that's actually not [[Played for Laughs]]. As Daniel, Sam, and Mitchel are trying to explain to the incredulous [[Alternate Universe|alternate Air Force]] about the Stargate Program they get increasingly frustrated, causing Daniel to yell "Seriously, who would make this shit up?!"

* ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' had a quick mention, too, in ''Doppelganger'':

* Fox Mulder in the fifth season ''[[The X-Files]]'' episode "Post-modern Prometheus"; "This isn't the way the story is supposed to end... I want to speak to the writer!"

** But Mulder wasn't referring to the writing of the episode, he was referring to the writer of the comic in which the monster was featured.

** When the narrator reaches the last four words, he asks, "Who wrote that?"

** Then there's this exchange:

'''Interviewer:''' This is the silliest sketch I've ever been in. }}

* A potential example occurred in the fifth season finale of ''[[Lost]]'': after leading the Others to the statue where {{spoiler|Jacob}} lives, Richard suddenly claims that only Locke (the leader) can speak to {{spoiler|Jacob}} when Locke asks if both he and Ben can go inside. Locke angrily accuses Richard of simply making things up as he goes along. This is likely a reference to one of ''Lost'''s most famous criticisms in popular culture; the idea that (especially during earlier seasons) the writers had no long-term gameplan and made things up with no intention of resolving them.

** In the episode ''Shadow'', Glory comments on the writing of a magic spell she's performing: "Dark incantations. Always overwritten."

** In "Tabula Rasa", after everyone loses their memories, Buffy has to tell Spike that he's a vampire and they're both pretty confused that he seems to be one of the good guys. This leads to a playful [[Take That]] to both [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]] and [[Angel]] and a [[Shout-Out]] to the latter, including the catchphrase for "Angel Investigations."

'''Buffy''': A vampire with a soul? Oh my God! How lame is that? }}

** The XBOX video game had Spike ask this in the midst of chanting out a demonic incantation.

* The episode "Worst Case Scenario" of ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' featured a holodeck program written by Tuvok called "Insurrection Alpha," a tactical training scenario that the characters mistook for a holonovel. At one point, Paris was playing the program and ended up being trapped in the brig with a holographic Tuvok. He wanted to stage an escape attempt, as opposed to "just doing nothing." Tuvok replied that they were hardly doing nothing, but rather observing their captors for weaknesses and that they should keep doing so, even if it took a week for them to figure something out. At which point, Paris commented "A week? Who wrote this stuff?"

* Inverted in the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' episode "Soultaker", thanks to the fact that the riffed movie's female lead was also its writer.

* A variation in ''[[Doctor Who]]'': "...clothes designed by a first year fashion student..."

* At least one suspect on ''[[CSI]]'' has said the situation seemed like "something from a bad TV show".

*** The WWE didn't actually have this excuse, since WWE programming is non-union since [[The Scrappy|Vince McMahon is a controlling]] [[Curse Cut Short|bast-- uh, I mean,]] the existing trade unions in America are not set up to handle Sports Entertainment or its writing.

* [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] turned this [[Up to Eleven]] while doing ringside commentary during the August 23, 1999 RAW where [[Triple H]] won his first world title (considering what HHH's reputation would become, [[Fridge Logic]] could make this [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]):

== Puppet Shows ==

* ''[[The Muppet Show]]''...

** How about this one:

** Another example in one of the ballroom sketches:

'''Sam The Eagle''': Immoral is doing bad things. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Illegal is me with a tummy ache]]. (To the camera) I didn't write it. }}

* Used in ''[[Muppet Treasure Island]]''. In the middle of the "Cabin Fever" musical number, the following exchange occurs:

''"I'd like to get my hands on whoever wrote this script!"'' }}

** As the ship is leaving dock, [[Statler and Waldorf]] (serving as the ship's figureheads) commiserate about their cheap berths - but it could be worse, at least they aren't in the audience. (Dohohohoho.)

* ''[[Muppets Tonight]]'', at the beginning of the "Hardy Pig Boys in the Mystery of the Zombie Queen of the Amazon Outer Space Bee Woman Case: Based on a novel by Jane Austen".

'''Andy & Randy Pig:''' We did! }}

** And in the episode with [[Garth Brooks]], he and Miss Piggy have a ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'' scene (that was supposed to be a country song), and Piggy has to read from cue cards, but either her eyesight is really bad or her glasses are faulty because she misreads many of the words.

"Good night, Good night. Parking is such sweet... sparrow? Sponging? Parking is such sweet sponging." }}

** After reading the last line she snaps "Whoever wrote this should be ''shot''!".

== Radio ==

* In ''[[The Goon Show]]'' episode "The Scarlet Capsule", the Guest Announcer Andrew Timothy at one point says:

* During one [[Bob and Ray|Bob & Ray]] show, the duo are openly embarrassed to have to read a cheesy promo. Ray eventually convinces Bob to go ahead by pointing out that it'll demonstrate "what happens when you let people with college educations write things."

* On ''[[The Jack Benny Program]]'', the actors on the [[Show Within a Show]] would sometimes stop in the middle of dialogue to object to a particularly corny gag, until Jack pressured them to go through with it.

* On NPR's ''[[Car Talk]]'', whenever Click and Clack (Tom and Ray Magliozzi) get a caller whose question and banter come from way out in left field, Tom will crack "Doesn't anybody screen these calls??!"

* The BBC show ''[[Hello Cheeky]]'' was written by the three main performers, which occassionally led to some pleasant lampshading.

'''John:''' It's not bad, is it? }}

** There seems to be a similar [[Running Gag]] with England in ''[[Forbidden Broadway]]'', it's never fully explained.

* [[Show Within a Show]] example: In the musical ''[[City of Angels]]'', Stine finds out that his secretary has been helping with the [[Executive Meddling]] on the script to his [[Film Noir]]:

'''Stine:''' It doesn't rub off. Sometimes not even on me. }}

* The Flying Karamazov Brothers' adaptation of [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[The Comedy of Errors]]'' starts off with this after it's opening [[Mr. Exposition]] sets things up.

** Possibly, in the sequel, he even flat out said, "Who wrote this stuff?"

* In ''[[No One Lives Forever]]'', one level sees Cate visiting various informants who all have to use extremely goofy and horribly misogynistic (even for 1960s standards) pick-up lines as passwords and wonder who the heck chose to use them as such.

"Someone from the cryptography department. [[You Need to Get Laid|Someone in need of a girlfriend]], apparently." }}

* The ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' video game has Spike reading an invocation to summon a demon lord that's holding Dru's spirit hostage. In the middle of the invocation, he pauses to say, "Who writes this dross?"

* Used by Zetta in ''[[Makai Kingdom]]''. Bonus points since he is literally (pun accidental, but intended) a book for the majority of the game. [[Cosmic Keystone|A book that actually contains the script.]]

* Happens once in ''[[Serious Sam|Serious Sam:The Second Encounter]]''

* [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in ''[[Ratchet: Deadlocked]]'', since Dallas, the commentator in question, is...[[Too Dumb to Live|not quite the smartest person in the game]]. Even ''he'' can spot the key bad writing:

** Also happens during the Captain Qwark mini-games during ''[[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal]]''. The narrator in the opening and closing bits voices his disbelief of Qwark's supposed adventures. Didn't help that Qwark wrote the scripts.

* In one of the non-canon side stories in ''[[Tsukihime|Kagetsu Tohya]]'' Akiha suddenly remembers her twin sister! At which Shiki points out that's ridiculous, there was absolutely no foreshadowing or buildup and crummy as this story is that's just too dumb to let slide.

* In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' Kirby gives a "Who writes this crap?" [[Aside Glance|look to the camera]] when the game calls him a "Pretty Jolly Guy".

* The Game Over screen of the [[ZX Spectrum]] game ''[[Blob The Cop]]'' consists of the following verse:

''([[Beat]])'' God Who writes this rubbish? }}

* The first level of ''[[Emo Game]]'' has a boss battle against [[Creed]]. Before the fight, Scott Stapp explains that he and his band were literally formed from the shit of [[Pearl Jam|Eddie Vedder]], at which the player character remarks that at least they know they suck. Then Scott elaborates, saying that they have held onto that shit and used it to build an attack helicopter, and now they must kill you because you know their secret. Your response is "God, this plot is getting worse and worse."

* ''[[Alan Wake]]'' called this a very cheap plot twist, with the character even remarking on it [[Invoked Trope|by name.]] Before he dies.

* Captain Smiley says this in the tutorial level of ''[[Comic Jumper]]'':

'''Smiley:''' I'm "[[A Date with Rosie Palms|used to grabbing poles]]"? Who writes this stuff?!<br />

'''Star:''' [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Someone awesome!]] }}

* One of Eggman's PA announcements in ''[[Sonic Colors]]'' has one too many "ocean" puns for his taste, leading him to wonder "who writes this drivel?". [[To Make a Long Story Short|As it turns out]], ''[[Hypocritical Humor|he]]'' [[Absent-Minded Professor|does]]!

* From ''[[Outlaw Golf]] 2'', this was one of [[Insomniac with Dave Attell|Dave Attell's]] quips.

* Even greater variation in ''[[L's Empire|Ls Empire]]'' where one of the authors asks this question, only to answer themselves.

* ''[[Ansem Retort]]'': Red XIII playing scrabble with [[The Ditz|Sora]].

* ''[[One Over Zero]]'' has [[No Fourth Wall]], so two lovers can directly address the writer when they realize he sucks at writing romantic conversations. Most of the rest of what they say to each other is off-panel.

* In ''[[Fans]]'', when Rikk and Ally go on their first date with Rumy after agreeing to [[Tenchi Solution|a triad relationship]], [http://www.faans.com/books1-6/index.php?p=1679 Rikk and Rumy are still uncomfortably shy, only speaking in two-to-three word sentences,] until Ally asks, [[Take That|"What, George Lucas is writin' y'r dialogue now?"]]

* When ''[[Girl Genius]]'' took a break to do their take on ''Cinderella'', Gil and Tarvek complain to co-writer Phil Foglio over the fact that they've ''both'' been assigned the role of the prince. When Gil asks who thought having ''two'' boyfriends was a good idea, there's a pan to Agatha, Zeetha, and other co-writer Kaja Foglio with huge grins on their faces.

== Web Original ==

* In the ''[[Neurotically Yours]]'' sketch "Jiggly Butt", Foamy is outraged by the cartoon's [[Lampshade Hanging|declining standards]] when Germaine starts jiggling her butt onscreen.

* In ''[[The Decline of Videogaming]]'', Dim, Dan, and JT find a copy of ''Devil May Cry 4: Who wrote this crap?!''

* In episode 7 of ''[[Four Swords Misadventures|4 Swords Misadventures]]'', during the "obligatory filler time", Purple Link exclaims this after Green Ljnk does the ant speech from ''[[Naruto]]''.

* In ''[[Asdfmovie]] 4'', one character's reaction to [[Piano Drop|getting a piano dropped on his head]] is to shout "Whose idea was this?!"

* [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]] and combined with [[Self-Deprecation]] in [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony's]] review of Bloodwings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge.

'''Spoony:''' Oh my God, I wrote that! }}

* In his Virus review, the [[Joueur Du Grenier]] (Basically [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]]'s French equivalent) had this reaction after saying a cringe-inducingly lame pun about evil in a fake movie trailer for Virus 2.

* Newgrounds' Legend of Pokémon had this; when Gary sees the ship, he says, "Who the fuck wrote this shit?"

* In the Julian Smith sketch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1FS504JnjM&ob=av3e Rerun], the characters are cartoons in a scene complaining about how dreary the show they're on is. It's multilayered [[Lampshade Hanging]].

'''Character A:''' That's why we got canceled... }}

** This joke comes up quite a bit. In one episode, Little Sneezer is playing a tuba and eating smelly cheese in the basement, which carries through the ventilation system, causing the toonsters to assume someone is farting repeatedly. Babs asks, "Who wrote this?"

** In the second episode of the series, "A Quack to the Quarks":

'''Babs Bunny:''' Be nice! }}

* One episode of ''[[Drawn Together]]'' ("Little Orphan Hero") ended with the cast walking out in disgust, saying the plotline had obviously been written by a special-needs child.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'':

** Krusty, when he is introducing himself with Brooke Shields for the cartoon awards, ends up being fumed about a joke in his opening line.

** Also, in the same episode, Krusty mentioned this in regards to the Itchy and Scratchy episode "Dazed and Contused", which basically had Itchy tapping Scratchy's head with a mallet repeatedly, then saying "Kids, say no to drugs!"

** And when he's performing ''[[King Lear]]'' at the dinner theater:

** And also when performing ''Il Pagliacci'' in Rome.

** Mr. Burns gets one of these moments in "The Mansion Family", when he wins an award for Oldest Man in Springfield (the previous winner has just died via [[Kiss of Death]] from [[Britney Spears]]), and tries to pass off the guy's written speech as his own:

* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' did this at least twice with Grim/Billy saying something about what kind of moron wrote the script for the episode of the day, usually cutting away to a drooling baby or a monkey wearing a diaper with a laptop.

* In one episode of ''[[Sheep in The Big City]]'', the Narrator reacted to a particularly weird plot twist by asking "Who writes this stuff?!"

* From the [[Tex Avery|Droopy]] short ''The Shooting of Dan McGoo'':

'''Wolf:''' [[Incredibly Lame Pun|'T ain't]] [[Catch Phrase|funny]], [[Fibber McGee and Molly|McGoo]]! ''(beat)'' What corny dialogue. }}

* The makers of ''[[Dragon Tales]]'' once produced a [[Gag Dub|parody video]] of their own work, dubbed ''Dragon Tales: Too Hot for TV!''. It ended with the male lead exclaiming "Who ''wrote'' this '''*BLEEP* '''?!"

* This happens in ''[[Wakfu]]'' during the Gobbowl story arc, when Yugo, Amalia and Eva are entering the match. The rather excitable sport announcer is handled sheets with their descriptions, finds them too bland and comments "Who wrote this? That's lame!" before going into wild improvisation.

* In an episode of ''[[King of the Hill]]'' Peggy fills in for Bobby in his ''Of Mice and Men'' play the line goes something like:

'''Peggy:''' I don't know, it looks kind of scummy to me... who writes this crap! }}

* ''[[Hey Arnold]]'' has one where Helga reads some of her Arnold-centered poetry to see whether an "out-of-love potion" she took has stopped her from being obsessed with him:

* Somewhat referred to in the ''[[Animaniacs]]'' theme song... "''The writers flipped, we have no script / why bother to rehearse?''"

** Sung while they show a bunch of drooling maniacs playing with paper and pencils, presumably the very ones who ''do'' Write This Crap.

** More specifically, in one cartoon Slappy asks Skippy why he's delivering bad dialogue. He says that's what's in the script, to which she reminds him that scripts are only good for lining the bottom of bird cages.

* In ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'', the <s>fictional</s> metafictional character [[The Cape|The Crimson Chin]] is repeatedly brought to life. On one occasion he asks Timmy who writes his comics.

'''Timmy:''' ''([[Medium Awareness|indicates own speech bubble in previous panel]])'' [[This Is Sparta|Lives. With. His. Mom.]] }}

* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'': In "Brother, Can You Spare An Ed?", after Edd goes on a dramatic, guilt-ridden monologue about Eddy convincing Ed to buy jawbreakers with Sarah's money (instead of fudge, like she asked), Eddy responds with "Who writes this guy's stuff?"

* ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'': As listed on the [[Who Writes This Crap?/Quotes|quote page]], Dr. Robotnik demands to imprison the cartoonist who made fun of him in his comic book.

* On ''[[Futurama]]'', we ''know'' Fry writes this crap. ("I am the greetest. Now I will leave Earth for no raisin!") But there's also this, as part of his opera that was crashed by the Robot Devil:

'''Zoidberg:''' I can't believe everybody's just ad-libbing. }}

** More appropriate to this trope is the Robot Devil's comments on Fry's characterization of him.

* Probably the instance that started it all in animation is the 1937 [[Porky Pig]] cartoon "Porky's Duck Hunt," where Porky sends his dog to retrieve the duck he's ostensibly shot, but the duck throws the dog back on land. Porky takes out a notepad, studies it for a second, then exclaims "Hey! '''''That''''' wasn't in the script!"

* In ''[[Recess]]'', King Bob reminisces about his days as the Prankster Prince. One of these pranks had this:

''The children started laughing in an uproar, while King Bob, then a fourth grader, smirks, hinting that he was the one who messed up Prickly's speech.'' }}

* Inverted in an episode of ''[[Muppet Babies]]'' - due to a transporter mishap, there are three versions of Kermit ([[Star Trek|Captain Kerkmit]], [[The Jetsons|Kerm Spaceton]], and [[Star Wars|Skyhopper]]) and one Piggy. When a fourth one, dressed as [[Indiana Jones]] appears...

* Invoked word for word in ''[[The Dating Guy]]'' by Sam in the ''[[24]]'' parody. She's then relabeled from "The Girl" to "The Bitch".

* From the ''[[House of Mouse]]'' episode "House Of Scrooge"

'''Mickey:''' You know. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Cheap-cheap.]]<br />

'''Horace:''' [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Even the writing's gotten "cheap-cheap".]] }}

* In the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' cartoon, Blooper Bunny, Daffy is seen doing a mini-rant while going over his script.

* ''[[Taz-Mania]]'': Francis X. Bushlad gets an epic one in one episode, berating the writers for the [[All Just a Dream]] ending and pointing out the unfired [[Chekhov's Gun]] of the 16 ton weight that had been dangling over the characters' heads for most the episode. [[Tempting Fate|This proves unwise]].

* A famous example of 'celebrities at their worst' is an [[MP 3]], originating from the BBC's Classic ''[[Doctor Who]]'' site no less, of Tom Baker recording a commercial for a company named Symphony Furniture. The seven-minute recording features Tom berating the other poor individuals in the studio without mercy, saying (among other hilarious quips) that the commercial should've been marketed as a sleep aid, read like a translation from early Serbo-Croat (or "fucking Albanian"), seemed to have been written by a "fucking infant teacher," and was powerful enough in its sheer emotion to give him an erection.

* The infamous ''Frozen Peas'' tape, featuring outtakes from Orson Welles' readings of various commercials where he complains about the directors, the inane pronunciations, and the writing.

* Charles, Prince of Wales [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54FKp4Ib4Kk reading the BBC Scotland weather report]. "Who the hell wrote this script?"
