Independence Denard: The Dark Before The Dawn

By Brian — September 7th, 2010 at 11:49 AM — 50 comments

Obviously two things:

  1. Depending on whether or not BHGP likes it, this is either an homage to or straight ripoff of their posts in this vein, down to J Leman's presence. I have tried to make this up to them in the content. Also, the J Leman picture was first brought to the world in those Big Ten team previews I used to do.
  2. I can't confirm that this is true, if you know what I mean.

INT. CLANDESTINE NORTH CAMPUS GENETICS LAB—MEETING ROOM. 1992

A conference table is surrounded by hooded figures. One throws back the hood, revealing himself to be STEPHEN ROSS, super rich guy. Also seated are JAMES EARL JONES, sith lord, and DOOMED J. SCIENTIST, a scientist.

Charles_Montgomery_Burns I hereby bring this meeting of the Evil Michigan World Domination Illuminati to order. First order of business: the Desmond Howard cloning situation.

BrentSpiner_IndDay There have been some… issues. We have successfully dealt with the flippers, but it came at a cost.

darth-vader-face You have failed me for the last time, Doomed Scientist.

BrentSpiner_IndDay haacckckackaackak

Charles_Montgomery_Burns Always with the force choke, James. Can we get past the bit where you tell him his lack of faith is… disturbing and get on with it.

darth-vader-face I still don't see why we can't build a football stadium in the wave field and get Tom Harmon back.

Charles_Montgomery_Burns Yes, always with the force choke and the building it and the coming. Moving on. Doomed scientist?

BrentSpiner_IndDay We have now perfectly replicated Desmond Howard's lower body. There are some problems with the torso. As you can see on my powerpoint--

darth-vader-face You have failed me—

Charles_Montgomery_Burns Yes, for the last time. Spit it out, Doomed Scientist.

BrentSpiner_IndDay The main problem with the torso is that there isn't one. It just kind of… stops.

desmond-howard_the-pose …

darth-vader-face I find its lack of torso—

Charles_Montgomery_Burns Yes, yes, disturbing. For the record, I do too. You have created a mindless abomination that can accelerate to full speed in half a second, stop on a dime, and juke like there's no tomorrow. Shoot it in he head.

BrentSpiner_IndDay It doesn't have a head.

Charles_Montgomery_Burns Then have Jones mystically force choke it to death. Next order of business: the destruction of Notre Dame football.

darth-vader-face I am positioning Texas A&M defensive coordinator Bob Davie to be the droid Lou Holtz is looking for.

Charles_Montgomery_Burnsmontgomery-burns

INT. CLANDESTINE NORTH CAMPUS GENETICS LAB—SUB-BASEMENT B1. 1992.

BrentSpiner_IndDay I'm sorry. I'm sorry it has to end like this.

desmond-howard_the-pose  …

BrentSpiner_IndDay You're just a torso! Don't look at me like that.

desmond-howard_the-pose …

BrentSpiner_IndDay I can't do this. We must escape!

jleman

 jleman Come with me.

BrentSpiner_IndDay J Leman?

jleman It is I.

BrentSpiner_IndDay Aren't you seven?

jleman What's your point?

BrentSpiner_IndDay Nothing. Let's go.

security_guard Halt!

pistol_m9_500  BLAM BLAM BLAM

BrentSpiner_IndDay Noooooooooo… [/expires]

jleman [Ninja CHOP!]

security_guard Noooooooo…

jleman Let's go, Desmond Howard lower body. I have plans for you.

desmond-howard_the-pose …

INT. CLANDESTINE URBANA GENETICS LAB—SUB-BASEMENT B1. 1999.

Another meeting room. BOB ZOOK, Ron Zook's evil but lazy twin, and a DUCK discuss dark matters.

bob-zook Mwahahaha! Seven years of mustache twirling and pot smoking are about to pay off tonight!

duck  You had better hope this plot works better than your last dozen, Zook. My patience runs thin. My pit of ravenous piranhas grows hungry. We must repay our arch-rivals for the generations who have endured nothing but humiliation!

bob-zook Oh, it will. Hark: here comes the strike team now.

jleman I have done as you asked, distasteful as it is.

tom-brady-2 mrphpmph.

bob-zook What's he's saying?

duck No doubt something like "you'll never get away with this, Hyper-Intelligent Duck That Secretly Runs Illinois." But I will. Mwa. Mwa haahahahaahaa!

bob-zook  Mwahahahahahaha!

lightning BOOM.

tom-brady-2 mrprhphphp.

duck Oh, let's listen. I love it when doomed heroes blather on.

bob-zook [removes gag]

tom-brady-2 You'll never get away with this, Cooper!

duck I said arch-rivals!

tom-brady-2 And by this you mean…

duck You know, your most hated rival!

tom-brady-2 Ohio State.

duck No! Other than Ohio State!

tom-brady-2 All right, then. You'll never get away with this, Davie!

duck No, your really really most hated serious very serious rival. Who you share a debilitating mutual hatred of! Not Notre Dame!

tom-brady-2 You'll never get away with this, Saban?

duck Aaaaaaaargh!

tom-brady-2 Alvarez? No… wait, I've got it. Mason!  You'll take the Little Brown Jug from my cold, dead hands!

duck No! How many times do I have…

[Tom Brady tries to remember all of the teams in the Big Ten. Meanwhile, GHOSTLY APPARITIONS of James Earl Jones and LAWRENCE KASDAN materialize nearby…]

anakin  J. I am your father.

jleman Noooooooooooooo! You're not my father!

anakin Search your heart. You know it to be true.

jleman Oh. My. God.

lawrence-kasdan I told you it would work.

anakin Free Tom Brady. This is un-American. Victories are born on the field, not in genetics labs.

jleman You speak truth. [Ninja CHOP!]

tom-brady-2 …I'm sorry, I'll get it in a second. You'll never get away with this, whoever Northwestern's coach is!

duck If I didn't need you for my diabolical plots I would impale you on my bill.

tom-brady-2 Also I appear to be free. [Impressive KICK!]

duck [flies towards complicated, ominous looking technological thing with glass tubing containing a familiar set of disembodied legs]

bob-zook No! Release the defensive ends!

adrian-clayborn I am free.

tom-brady-2 My one weakness! Lo, I am stripped of my merry band of protectors! Wait, aren't you 11?

adrian-clayborn The least realistic part of this is not my age but the idea Bob Zook and a duck could capture me. Allow me to take my rage out on you. [Devastating SACK!]

tom-brady-2 [flies towards same ominous technological thing]

duck [Thunderous CRASH!]

tom-brady-2 [Similarly thunderous CRASH!]

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO DESMOND HOWARD'S DISEMBODIED LEGS? WILL BOB ZOOK FACE HIS COMEUPPANCE? WILL TOM BRADY'S BEAUTIFUL FACE BE MANGLED? WILL BLACK HEART GOLD PANTS ORGANIZE A DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK ON MGOBLOG? STAY TUNED FOR PART 2: THE INTEGRATION AND INFILTRATION. TOMORROW!
