While watching Wild Rebels again, I had a flash of inspiration: what if other MiSTed films had breakfast cereals made after them? Here's one idea...
Manos: The Cereal of Fate
(Scene: SOL bridge. The bots have bowls of cereal along with a banana and a glass of orange juice each in front of them. Between them is a box that has a picture of the Master and Torgo from Manos: The Hands of Fate. The box reads: "Manos: The Cereal of Fate" along with the words "It's master pleasing" in one corner. Next to the box is a pitcher of milk. Joel enters.)
Joel: Hey guys, what are you doing?
Crow: Oh, this guy came by and sold us this new cereal. It's called Manos: The Cereal of Fate.
Tom: Yea, it's got crunchy hands, hellhounds, and Master's wives along with marshmallowy Torgos and the Master.
Joel (apprehensive): Are you sure it's okay to eat something that looks that demonic in nature?
Crow: Sure! Just pour that wholesome, good, nutritious milk on it and we'll get to dive right in!
(Joel picks up the pitcher of milk.)
Joel: Okay… here goes…
(Joel pours some of the milk on the cereal in Crow's bowl, and then the cereal catches fire. The Master's theme from Manos: The Hands of Fate starts playing.)
Joel: You know, there's something not right about a cereal that catches fire when you pour milk on it.
Tom: What do you mean, Joel? I don't see anything wrong with that.
Crow: Yea Joel. I think it looks cool! That guy who sold it to us said he has it for breakfast every day!
Joel: I'd like to meet that guy who sold this to you.
Tom: Oh, let's just give him a call on the hexfield viewscreen.
(Joel pushes a button, and the screen opens. You guessed it, Torgo sold them the cereal.)
Torgo: YoU rang?
Joel: Yea, I kind of have a problem with this cereal you sold to my robots.
Torgo: I'm SoRrY, bUt No ReFuNdS.
(The hexfield viewer closes.)
Joel: Now, do you understand that you're not supposed to buy anything without knowing about it first?
Crow: I really don't see what's so bad about this cereal. I mean, sure, the movie that inspired it was just…. (breaks down) MANOS!! (Cries.)
Tom: Yea, you can't blame a guy just because he's a servant to the Master and wants to make a quick buck… Oh… (Cries.)
Joel (reassuring): There there, Crow, Tom, everything's going to be just fine…
(Gypsy enters.)
Joel: Hey Gypsy, could you get rid of this cereal?
(Gypsy turns and sees the flaming cereal.)
Gypsy: FIRE!! FIRE!!!
(Gypsy runs around the bridge in a haphazard manner. Commercial sign comes on.)
Joel: Let this be a lesson to everyone. You let a little evil slip in, and everything goes to pot. We'll be right back.
(Joel pushes the button for commercial sign.)
--End--
Now for my challenge to you: Take any MiSTed film and make a breakfast cereal based on it. Obviously, Manos and Wild Rebels are out, but use any other one.
Good luck!
