Return of the Killer Tomatoes

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia think they have an article about Return of the Killer Tomatoes.

Return of the Killer Tomatoes was a planned sequel to the box-office bomb, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, itself based on the Great Tomato War. Although the project was shelved, it re-emerged in 1980 as a best selling novel, making a larger profit than the film.

[edit] Plot of the Abandoned Film

The aborted-film was to tell the story of the aftermath of the Great Tomato War. Vegetables and Humanity are still recovering from the effects of the war. There are still tensions between man and fruit, and the price of foodstuffs have skyrocketed, with a single piece of Pasta costing as much as £500.

Furpp (a purely fictional character) was a survivor of the Great Tomato War who no longer cared about vengeance for the Potato Famine but yearned with a lust for power, and planned to kill Queen Victoria to gain control of the British Empire. But with many vegetables still weary from the first War, he must carry out the mission alone.

[edit] Plot of the Bestselling Book

The book itself thankfully held no link to the crap plot given above, or indeed any link to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

The book served as a documentary on the aftermath of the Potato Famine and the Great Tomato War. It's author, Bill Gates, was the grandson of a Tomato War veteran, and used not only the account of his own grandfather but also the accounts of other survivors, including the Tomatoes, Carrots and Cucumbers.

Although Bill Gates has discontinued his series, many others have used the book's plot as a template for their own works. The documentary series Attack of the Killer Potatoes is one of these, although it was less successful than Return of the Killer Tomatoes.

[edit] Impact

The success of the book led to a renowned interest in vegetable warfare, and surpassed Attack of the Killer Tomatoes by gaining a $32,000,000 profit within the first week of release, whereas the film made a $2,000,000 loss in the first day.

Following the success of the book, a number of TV documentaries and dramatisations were created using the book as a guideline for their own works. Among these included:

• Killer Tomatoes Strike Back - Aired on NBC in 1983, dealing with the real aftermath of the Great Tomato War

• Killer Tomatoes Eat France! - A dramatisation of the failed Killer Tomato attacks in France, aired on Cartoon Network in 1991

• Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: The Animated Documentary Series - Paying tribute to Danny Phantom: The Animated Documentary Series - This show followed the accounts of Bill Gate's father throughout the war. Available only on DVD.

• Attack of the Killer Potatoes - Aired on the BBC in 1991 to examine the role of the Potatoes in the Great Tomato War.

[edit] Profit

Since it's release, Return of the Killer Tomatoes has grossed $3,5079,9822,1973,6021,5000 across the Galaxy, making it the best selling novel of all time, surpassing the likes of Passion's Promise by Pinky and the Brain, My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles by Bubbles Lather, and How to do It with a Squirrel (an epic novel concerning an Uncyclopedia worker-drone's relationship with Slappy Squirrel).

[edit] Sequels?

Today, the only sequels to the book have been the TV dramatisations that spun-off from the book. With Bill Gates attempting to control the world, his interests have moved elsewhere.
