Episode XXXI

(Professional Comedian)

Original Airdate -
August 30th, 2006


CPPres decides to perform stand-up comedy at a local club called Chuckles. Moog offers to help him write some jokes, but CPPres tells Moog to cram it and stomps off to the club by himself. When CPPres arrives at Chuckles, he reserves a spot to perform at 9:15pm. About five minutes before he goes on-stage, and after a few drinks, he begins writing his jokes on bar napkins.

At 9:15 sharp, CPPres begins performing his act for the good-natured crowd. He starts off with some jokes about high gas prices, then moves on to a bit about how it is hot and why is it so hot. After that, he spends several minutes on "differences between men and women", but does not seem to realize that the audience is starting to turn on him. About halfway through his "Brokeback Mountain" gay jokes, the boos begin ringing out and when he whips out the knock-knock jokes, the crowd starts throwing empty drink glasses at him. Needless to say, he is forcibly removed from the stage and told never to come back to Chuckles. As he walks home, CPPres tells the camera that he thinks his material was pretty strong, but the audience was stuck-up. The fact that he honestly believes what he is saying is easily the funniest he said all night.


"CPPres: Keepin' It Real" is a syndicated program. Check your local listings for the time and channel it will air on in your neighborhood

With this update, we have reached the end of the fifth volume of C.P. On-Line. We've done all we can do with Volume Five, so the time has come to send it out into the world. We suspect it will have a great deal of success until a stranger approaches it and says, "Hello there, little Volume. If you get in my car with me, I will give you some candy." And it will go, because it is an idiot. Don't blame us. We're just the parents.

Anyway, over the course of Volume Five, there have been a few questions that we never got around to answering. Since we don't have anything else written for this week, now seemed like a pretty good time to answer these questions so that the only question you have left for Volume Six is "Why am I still visiting C.P. On-Line?" Good luck with THAT one.
Question: For the last couple of weeks, you people have been going on and on about "Volume Five" this and "Volume Five" that. This doesn't make any sense. You write for a website, not a magazine. What the hell are you talking about when you mention "Volume Five"?

Answer: That is an excellent question! Basically, we use the term "Volume" to refer to a period of time of roughly a year. After writing literally hundreds and hundreds of pages for C.P. On-Line over the years, it's easier to find specific material by saying, "Oh yeah. That piece was somewhere near the end of Volume Two" than it is to say, "Oh yeah! That piece was written at some point between 1999 and 2004!" Besides, collecting our work in volumes just makes us sound more professional, and Lord knows we could use some of that. In case you were wondering, and we know you were, here is the official rundown of the various volumes of C.P. On-Line:

Volume One - May 1999 to April 2000

Volume Two - May 2000 to April 2001

Volume Three - May 2001 to July 2002

Volume Four - November 2002 to January 2003

Volume Five - September 2005 to August 2006

Question: You had a contest last month where one of the five finalists was going to replace long-time columnist CPPres as a writer for the website, but you never revealed the winner, even though you promised you would. Why would you lie to us, C.P. On-Line? We trusted you.

Answer: Trusting us was probably your first mistake. However, that is an excellent question! There WAS a winner in the great Columnist Contest, but we've been busy watching "So You Think You Can Dance" all summer, and in the excitement, we forget to announce who it was. In fact, we even forgot to tell the winner that he won, but we plan on getting around to that sometime this week. The winner, with a staggering 94% of the vote, was Roger Chapman, the charming British guy from some other country. He will be joining the writing staff very soon, and we look forward to working with him. We expect that his talent will shine bright at C.P. On-Line for days and days, and then eventually working here will break his spirit, and his material will become more and more strained. After that, his eyes will glaze over and he will start wandering around here on auto-pilot, not so much concerned about what he's writing so much as long as he just puts words on a page. Within weeks of arriving, he will go from being a shining young talent to being just another comedy hack, and at that point, we will finally be one of us. Welcome to C.P. On-Line, Roger!

Question: I only just recently stumbled upon your website and I don't feel like going through your entire archives. If you could tell me what your three favorite updates are from the last year, that would save me a lot of time, because then I could avoid the other forty-nine.

Answer: That wasn't really a question. It was more like a demand. Still, it's an excellent demand. If we could've only done three updates all last year, that would have saved us a LOT of time and effort. That might not be such a bad idea for Volume Six. Hmmmm… But anyway, if we had to pick three favorites, we'd pick the following, in no particular order:

October 24th, 2005: (Update #8) C.P. On-Parade - This one was written right after we re-launched the website, when we were still trying to get back into the habit of writing on a weekly basis. This might've been the first time it really felt right. C.P. On-Parade features some pretty good dialogue and comes as close as we ever get to having a "plot". It's also the first of MANY times in Volume Five that Founder Matt decides to remove his pants, which should not discourage you from checking it out

March 27th, 2006: (Update #30) Everybody Agrees - Our spoof of an awful FOX reality show that we hated so very much. The characters at C.P. On-Line are so bizarre that when you take all of them, lock them in a bunker, and force them to interact, something interesting always happens. Notable for the fact that at the end of the piece, it appears that The Chicken makes sweet love to a donkey.

June 5th, 2006: (Update #41) Summer Television Preview - The writers at C.P. On-Line are huge fans of Bizarro Jerry, who puts together all of the graphics for the website, and he completely outdid himself with this piece. Some of the finest pictures we've ever had on C.P. On-Line appear in this update, including some of the most disturbing Flash animation we've ever seen. Seriously, the Howie Mandel graphic will haunt your dreams. This is where we realized that as long as the pictures were good, the writing could be rambling drivel and nobody would care. We plan to use this newfound knowledge a LOT in Volume Six.

Question: During the last few episodes of CPPres' reality show, Keepin' It Real, he wrote some song that got popular. You mentioned the song about a thousand times, but you never let us hear it. Can you at least print the lyrics or something, so we can see how awesome this song actually is?

Answer: That might be the most excellent question of all. Most of us here at C.P. On-Line did not care for CPPres' song, because it is retarded, but most popular music is, so we can't say we're surprised it found an audience. You're right, though, it did get brought up a lot, so we suppose it's only right to present the lyrics, just this once. Ladies and gentleman, put your hands together and get out on the dance floor, because it's time to experience the raw lyrical genius that is "What A Crazy Party".

What A Crazy Party (Music and Lyrics By: CPPres)

A long week is over. A party's on the menu.

I think my crib will be the appropriate venue.

I wanna unwind with my crew, but my ultimate goal,

Is to keep this thing from getting out of control.

I call up Chester, cause he is a DJ.

And my baby, who's the finest chick in the U.S. of A.

I call up Mikey, cause he gets all the booze.

And some other people I exclusively choose.

But then they call two friends

And they call two friends

Again and again and I don't know where it ends.

And now, this place is bumping, as far as I can see.

What a crazy party this has turned out to be

That chick's a freak and she is freaking on me.

What a crazy party this has turned out to be.

The walls are shaking, look at all the debris.

What a crazy party this has turned out to be.

It won't end soon, that much I can guarantee.

What a crazy party this has turned out to be.

It's getting cramped in here. I can't breathe anymore.

I don't know half the people that have walked in the door.

But I don't care, because this thing is outrageous.

It's a good disease and it's completely contagious.

It's 2:00am, the cops show up and start bitching.

Ten minutes later, they're dancing in the kitchen.

Don't know where the monkey came from but it's wearing a hat.

If there's a better party, I don't know where it's at.

And it just goes on.

And it just goes on.

And on and on until it's hours past dawn.

I swear I meant for this to stay all low-key,

But, what a crazy party this has turned out to be.

It sure is crazy here, you'd have to agree.

What a crazy party this has turned out to be.

It's bigger than the whole state of Tennessee.

What a crazy party this has turned out to be.

We're on the news, hey look there on the TV.

What a crazy party this has turned out to be.

(repeat endlessly and fade out)

Be “In Charge” Of Your Breakfast
Everyone knows breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but all too often, people either skip it completely or choose to eat something unhealthy. Another thing everyone knows is that Scott Baio is the most awesome actor ever. Yes, even more awesome than Christopher Walken. If only there was a way to combine the magic of Scott Baio with the power of breakfast! Well America, there IS a way, and we call it Scott Bay-O’s, the only breakfast cereal officially endorsed by that guy who played Chachi on TV like thirty years ago.

Scott Bay-O’s are the delicious and nutritious way to start your morning. Each crunchy Bay-O is made of oats, wheat, corn, and rice, so you can eat as many as you want without worrying about your waistline. But don't get the wrong idea. Just because Bay-O’s are good for you doesn't mean they're bland and tasteless. That's because each Bay-O is ZAPPED with just a little bit of sugar. And that's not all, because mixed in with all the O’s are fun and tasty marshmallow pieces in the shapes of classic Scott Baio characters. There are red Chachis, blue Dr. Jack Stewarts, green Bob Loblaws, and rainbow-colored Charleses! If you get lucky, you might even find a Pete Bianco, the guy he played when he guest-starred on one episode of Full House!

When it’s time for breakfast, people can’t get enough of Scott Bay-O’s, but if you don’t want to take our word for it, perhaps you will listen to these actual statements from satisfied customers who were paid to say something nice about this cereal:

“Scott Bay-O’s is the only cereal my children will eat. Because Scott Bay-O’s is the only cereal I will buy. Because it is the cheapest cereal in the store. Because I am having serious financial problems ever since I had to declare bankruptcy. Sometimes I’m afraid that the state is going to come and take my children away. But if they do that, they’d better leave my Scott Bay-O’s alone. It’s the cereal that stays crunchy, even in milk!”

Dinah S., Birmingham, AL

“I thought I'd read that Scott Baio got the death penalty after he was in ““Baby Geniuses 2: SuperBabies”, but I guess not. Just goes to show yet again that the justice system in this country is completely flawed! But what ISN‘T completely flawed is the big taste of Scott Bay-O’s! Yum! Scott Bay-O’s make EVERY day a Happy Day!”

Gary J., Bismark, ND

“Me Joanie! Not love breakfast cereal. Usually want oatmeal. Not have oatmeal last week. Have to eat Scott Bay-O’s instead. So good! Now Joanie want to eat them all the time! Joanie loves Bay-O’s!”

Joanie A., Richmond Home For The Mentally Challenged, Richmond, VA

Come on, people! What are you waiting for? Without a big heaping bowl of Scott Bay-O’’s, you’re only going to get hungrier. And for a limited time only, each box of Scott Bay-O’s will be personally autographed by Scott Baio, because really, what else does he have to do these days? Aside from approving the new Honey Nut Scott Bay-O’s, not much. Get to your local supermarket and barge into the cereal aisle as fast as you can, knocking people over if you have to. You want Scott Bay-O’s for breakfast, dang it, and you will not be denied!

Scott Bay-O’s - From the makers of Fresh Prince Of Raisin Bran, Cinnamon Toast Urkel’s, and ALF-A Bits
