The Yappy Tournament’s Paragons of Magnificent Virtuoso



*The cafe, quite busy. Jack & Elmo are sitting at a table, training. A big shadow approaches them.*
Elmo

Ho ho ho, ho ho ho, stop, stop, stop!

Jack Black

You got a nice rhythm going there, little buddy!

Dr. Robotnik

Ohhhh, look who’s there thinking they’re the new hot sensation in town.

Jack Black

Oh, it seems we got a sore loser from losers’ over here!

Dr. Robotnik

SORE LOSER? Look who’s talking! A pathetic guitar-plucking ventriloquist who barely won his first battle against two pushovers! You’re not in a position to talk to me with such a disregarding tone!

Jack Black

That’s what you just did though.

Dr. Robotnik

I’m Dr. Robotnik, I say what I want!

Elmo

“What I want”! Hahaha, Elmo can say it too, Mister Robot!

Jack Black

Yeah, whatever. But what were you meanin’ by “new hot sensation in town”? I’m curious.

Dr. Robotnik

Don’t you realize you got your success the lazy way, you idiot? Look at you! You say fancy words like “fantastic”, “awesome”, “glorious”, “stunning”; and then, what do you do with them? YOU PUT THEM IN DIMWITTED BOXES AND USE THEM TO PLAGIARIZE A WHOLE SONG!

Jack Black

Plagiarizing, man? C’mon, that’s a stretch. I don’t even use boxes in my remixes. Did you see the collabs? The visual effects, the voice quality, the references, the fast-paced medleys? They’re way better than your old-fashioned stuff.

Dr. Robotnik

But they reduce you to a simple instrument, while my own creations use my wonderful voicing talent and original melodies to boot! I have been in this hilariously experimental business for longer than you were, and I am a way better musician than you hacks ever will be!

Jack Black

A better musician… sure, you do some spoken word and you played the organ once. Cooooool. Meanwhile, I defeated the devil with an electric guitar. Can’t argue with that!

Elmo

Wooow, you really did that Jack?

Jack Black

Elmo, don’t listen to us. You might hear bad words.

Elmo

Elmo doesn’t like that. Elmo will learn new words somewhere else. Hey hey, Miss TV, can you come see Elmo please?

Nico Nico

最近どうなん?

Elmo

Jack does not want Elmo to hear the words he says, for some reason. But Elmo wants to learn! Can you teach new words to Elmo?

Nico Nico

はい!頭がパーン!

Elmo

So Elmo’s head goes… PARN! Hahahaha! That was really funny Miss TV! Give Elmo another one!

Nico Nico

チルミル~ チルミル~ 元気

Elmo

Chi-ru-mi-ru! Hahahaha! Elmo almost drank that earlier! Jack read about the side effects and stopped Elmo, though.

Nico Nico

お菓子好きかい?

Elmo

Oka… what? And who is this sweet old man with a monocle on your screen? Elmo is curious…

Jack Black

Hey Elmo, what are you doing?

Dr. Robotnik

It’s that mad TV with all of her weird sources! What is that freak doing there?

Jack Black

Elmo, I already told you to not watch TV alone! You could see scary programs outta nowhere, it could drive you mad!

Nico Nico

MAD!

Elmo

Mad? Elmo? But Jack and Mr. Robot are already mad!

*Jack and Robotnik look at each other with a weird expression on their face.*
Jack Black

HAHAHAHAHA!

Dr. Robotnik

MUHAHAHAHAHAH!

Nico Nico

WWWWWWWWWWW

Elmo

Hahaha, Elmo is happy when people are happy!

Dr. Robotnik

Okay well, I have some work to do on my terrifying contraptions. The next pesky fools I have to beat will be no match for them. But do not forget, Black: after all these years, I still am better than you!

Jack Black

We’ll see about that, dude. Good luck getting that promotion!

*Robotnik leaves and Jack & Elmo resume their training. Terebi-chan notices a strange box near the table.*
Solid Snake

Otacon, do you know anything about these boxes they were talking about?

Otacon

Maybe they were describing the samples used in some types of YTPMV, as in their basic form, they’re shaped like boxes.

Solid Snake

“Why tee”… what?

Otacon

Y-T-P-M-V. They’re short for “YouTube Poop Music Videos”, Snake. It’s a very specific type of source.

Solid Snake

Hmm… So it seems these “YTPMVs” come in different types, and that the two contestants were fighting over which type was the best… Hrnnngh… At least I know what I’m expecting if I’m facing them in the fut-

Nico Nico

*tips the box over with her muscly arms* ハッピーセット!

Solid Snake

ARRRRRGH!

Otacon

Snake, what’s wrong? Snake! SNA-

Solid Snake

Please Otacon, don’t make that stupid scream. I’m alright. It was just this TV box girl making a prank.

Otacon

Yet another box? You gotta tell me more about it, Snake, I can’t keep up with both our box sources and these other boxes in the tournament!
