Welcome to the Alpha's & Beta's Show of Wordiness. Today's guest-wordy is the, short notice, Monday.

Welcome, welcome! I am very... pleased to see everyone. Tuning in... to this most wonderful... show we... have for... you. Now due to a misunderstanding... that we... could not... foresee, we will... be doing the word... that should have... been... last week. That word... is... Dammit!

You called me down here a few minutes before the show was to start! Then you can't do something simple like keeping the damn teleprompter up to speed! To hell with what it says! I'm saying my own crap.

Folks, today's word is 'jerks'. Everybody here are inconsiderate jerks when it come to running this show. That was the sentence by the way.

No way in hell I'm going out of my way to help you two again.

Good luck, Monday, trying to find someone to hire you once we... um... Thank you for for that interesting word. Please check back tomorrow for a much more restrained host.

Took me a moment to realize those were supposed to be "Native American names." At first I was thinking the grammar was just off and hard to read.

I sense the subtle hand of Bun-bun in these elves' names.

He does look like Torg's lawyer from way back when.

Okay, the amount of cringe this strip just induced in me is too much. I think I might be done.

Looks like we're in for some Adam Sandler-grade humor.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I actually had to get second opinions because I'm not sure if this was just really dumb, or really dumb and also uncomfortably racist. It's not -trying- to be racist, because they're elves, not Native Americans, but it's just so bad that it manages to be offensive anyway.

The Pang-NoFun stuff was just really awful on that front too, so I think this is just. Just too much.

I couldn't help but think of the Adam Sandler news when reading this too.

But considering Bun-Bun is a giant ass, it sort of fits with his character. We'll see in a few days and hopefully it's not just a way to disparage a given culture just for the sake of making poor taste jokes about twerking.

I'm gonna go with "generic looking bald lawyer stereotype", rather than planned. But who knows with Pete.

More importantly, HOW DID YOU PULL OUT SUCH A RANDOM REF ON SUCH A RANDOM CHARACTER??

Also, google the word 'satire' and be done with it.

If I told you, I'd have to throw you in the rabid Chihuahua pit.
