One Letter Off by Amoeba Man, HFXØ Sponty

November 16th, 2008 8:47 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Find a sign, poster, advertisement or other publicly-displayed message that would be improved by (physically) changing a single letter. Make the necessary change.

WH-CHA! FLASMAZOOM! BIG TEXT! Well, you asked for it (silently, in your hearts, you all did) and here it comes: TPS0 EPISODE 4! The first task on the list is One Letter Off! Also, this task marks the inclusion of a new member in the TPS0 Crew: Flaming Gnome! Hailing from the beautiful land of Maybe Alaska But Maybe Not Who Knows, the Gnome is the newest superhero to join in the fight for truth, justice, and those tasty little hors-d'ouevres they put out at fancy parties, you know, not the little finger sandwiches you get, but the really good stuff that shows they really put a lot of effort into this really swell spread.

This is part 1, part 2 should be up soon. Our roster has dipped from three tasks to two due to time constraints, but hey, that's still pretty good. Granted, it does say to change one letter, but that doesn't make for very interesting TV, so we changed a few more. If you're going to get really angry at us, just pause the movie after we change the first letter.

So, some of you may be wondering where part two and even part 3 of this episode are. Well, here's the long and short of it:


We did Urbane Exploration 1, in two buildings no less, but we didn't really discover any secrets. We didn't even really try to talk our way into interesting spaces. There's some humorous footage, but the task isn't really complete in the strictest sense. I didn't want to submit it since I didn't want it to look like we'd half-assed it. As for the rest of the footage, I put it to you, the viewers: Do you want to see it? If anyone wants to see the highlights of the rest of Episode 4, I'll compile a reel and add it onto this task. Otherwise, I don't really want to submit it as a full task.

This is really all we've got for Episode 4. After Christmas Break, we'll film Episode 5 and that will be that.

All hail the moistened thumb!

I like this a lot as a kind of meditation on how to amusingly alter a single letter in a sign. Practically a how-to-guide for new players. Something about misspelling tongue, and whether it is kosher to remove/alter/add a letter, is very relatable. Also, welcome Flaming Gnome, your notions of sexism, classical allegories, and boad ontology please me. I hope to see more from you three in the future.

I've received word that this episode has been blocked in some countries.

We'll remedy this as soon as possible. Until then, have you ever considered a trip to Canada?
