Fox Says, “Smile, You’re Under Arrest”

Other scenarios include a fake fashion shoot where the subject thinks he is about to become a supermodel and another in which the mark becomes an auto racer, a set-up which ends when a police car comes up behind him on a race track to pull him over.

“If it were a regular person you’d feel bad for them, but they are all wanted by the law,” Darnell says. “It’s Cops as comedy and no one’s ever tried it before.”

According to Darnell, all of the marks are non-violent criminals. Darnell adds that set-ups are a common way for law officers to pull in law-breakers with warrants. However, most sting operations tend to be much smaller scale, such as tricking them into thinking they won tickets to a major sporting event.

Darnell envisions the show as an hour-long format. It was shot without a host, but would have someone providing narration.

Other titles under consideration are Now That’s Just Criminal and It’s Just Criminal.

Is it the bottom of the barrel yet?

…I mean, the bottom has to be somewhere.

I’m almost afraid to suggest it, but why don’t we just lock criminals in the middle of town and throw rotten fruit at them?

The ladies discuss whether evolution is real. One says it isn’t, and so Whoopi asks her if she believes whether the earth is flat or round.

Okay. No. No. This is not okay. See, here’s the thing: you DO need to think SOME of the time.

The head of the Galactic
Confederation (76 planets around
larger stars visible from here)
(founded 95,000,000 yrs ago, very space opera)
solved overpopulation (250 billion
or so per planet — 178 billion on
average) by mass implanting.
He caused people to be brought to
Teegeeack (Earth) and put an H Bomb
on the principal volcanoes (Incident 2)
and then the Pacific area ones
were taken in boxes to Hawaii
and the Atlantic Area ones to
Las Palmas and there “packaged.”
His name was Xenu. He used
renegades. Various misleading
data by means of circuits etc.
was placed in the implants.
When through with his crime Loyal Officers
(to the people) captured him
after 6 years of battle
and put him in an electronic
mountain trap where he still
is. “They” are gone. The place (Confed.)
has since been a desert.
