Monster of the Week

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

Jump to: navigation, search

Monster of the Week is what happens when producers run out of ideas, or, when they don't run out of ideas. A monster of the week is usually some big monster that has some sort of gimmick to it, but other than previously-stated gimmick is treated like any other monster. Example: say you faced a mud monster summoned by a sorcerer's curse last week and used one "Sword of the Angels" to kill it, this week, you face a slime monster summoned by a vengeful knight's curse and to kill it, you need one "sword of the demons". You use the same general idea for 5 years, until FOX realizes their idea is too successful and cancels the show leaving overhyped celebrity nostalgiacs to participate in "I Love the 80's" and say how much their primate-like brains enjoyed the monster-of-the-week idea.

[edit] How to kill a Monster of the Week

  • Use a Weapon of the Week (usually a mundane element; water, light, special sword)
  • Do the same damn thing you did last week using stock footage
  • note: You are always required to try at least 10 other useless things first to prove how hard it is to fight the monster

[edit] Better Fucking Monsters

Often using monsters of the week, a show can last for 60+ seasons, however, this often raises the question, why do evil villains not just get their act straight and make better fucking monsters??

For an answer to this question, we turn to leading Weekmonsterkologist Ikuhara Kunihiko. "The monster-of-the-week formula," he says, "represents the eternal struggle between good and evil. This battle, between our young heroes and our jaded villans, has become so ritualistic, so... ceremonial, that everyone involved is simply doing it out of a misplaced sense of duty. Evil doesn't create a better fucking monster, as you so delicately put it, because there is simply no motivation. Good doesn't stop showing up, because that's never been done before. And the creative team doesn't come up with a better system because that's not why we're here. The monster, the battle, the liturgy and the formula, it's all just backdrop to the characters. That's where the real story is."

He pause, then added "Of course, the monsters of the week themselves are often the most interesting characters. Like that one guy in Sailor Moon who was made of doughnuts and attacked the Scouts by restraining them in giant doughnuts, he was awesome."

[edit] Nouns

The inclusion of Cottonginnor the Cotton Gin monster into the Official Monster of the Week Database has raised the question, what happens when we run out of the precious nouns that we often use to give monsters their themes?
