==Transcript==

''{The Videlectrix theme plays as a man's hand reaches into a pile of Atari 2600 cartridges. Cut to the man inserting the cartridge into an Atari 2600, followed by him aggressively twirling the joystick of a controller. Cut to a TV turning on to show the pixelated portrayal of the Videlectrix Guys, accompanied by the text "Joystick Wagglin' with Videlectrix".}''

''{After the theme ends, static appears on the TV screen, followed by a higher-quality version of the preceding screen, with the text "Halloween Edition" added at the bottom.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Welcome, everyone. Here we are at the{{--}}

''{Various clicking sounds and setting-up noises can be heard.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Welcome to the Weekly Waggle. I can't hear you, are you{{--}}can you hear me? ''{blows into the mic}''

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Yeah{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Welcome to the Weekly Waggle.

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Speak down. Okay, I'm Videlectrix{{--}}

''{The sounds stop.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' ''{shouting}'' Welcome to the Weekly Waggle, I am Videlectrix One!

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' I'm Videlectrix Two over here on the{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' ''{slapping sound}'' You are Videlectrix Three!

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' I'm{{--}}okay, uh{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' ''{shouting angrily}'' We discussed this! ''{slapping sound}'' You will never be Number Two!

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' I'm Three. I'm Thr{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Until you can... graphic it up!

''{The screen changes to the starting screen of the game. A floating pair of yellow eyes is looking at the camera, in a series of rooms surrounded by blue walls. On the bottom is the UI, displaying numbers written in an old-looking font over a yellow background.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' ''{no longer shouting}'' This week we are playing one of the classics of hor{{--}}the horror-survival genre ''{pronounced like JEN-ruh}''.

''{The screen changes again to a manual showing the box art of ''Haunted House''.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' ''{spooky voice}'' Haunted... House!

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' That's pretty{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' These are{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' That was actually pretty good.

''{Cut back to the game. The eyes look around the screen.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' So, look at that. ''{Videlectrix Two groans in surprise}'' Full{{--}} full eyeball rotation...

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' L{{--}} Left! Right! L{{--}} look down, left, right...

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Yeah, I can't decide where.

''{The game begins. The eyes turn white and move to the left room, while the yellow background of the UI turns black.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' The game hasn't even started yet. I haven't hit Game Select.

''{A circle of light appears around the eyes.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' What'd you do?

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' That's my candlelight. I'm holding a candelabra ''{the eyes move down to a room to the south}'' and I have only 30 matches to save the haunted house.

''{Cut to the eyes moving through an orange-walled floor. A handle-less urn is visible on the UI. Thunder roars as a ghost appears from the bottom of the screen, moving towards the eyes.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Oh!

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' ''{screams}''

''{The eyes move upwards, away from the ghost.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Oh, there it is! A spectral! Oh! ''{the eyes move left, another light circle appearing around them}'' Oh, o-oh. Waah!

''{The eyes move down. An insect appears and approaches the eyes, flailing its legs.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Ohhh! What is that? Oh, there's another one!

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' ''{unintelligible stiffled speech}''

''{The insect comes into contact with the eyes, causing them to spin around as the walls flash white. Music plays while thunder roars again.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Oh man!

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' It's doing{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Man, what is it doing?

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Jumping jacks?

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' An insect doing{{--}} yeah, calisthenics.

''{Cut to the eyes exploring with light around them. A handle of the urn is revealed by the light.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Okay, we gotta get outta here{{--}} oh, a four! I found a four. I found the four.

''{The eyes pick up the handle, adding it to the urn. A ghost appears from the top, chasing after the eyes, who run away, creating another circle of light.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Whoof, the pulse! I gotta tell ya, this game needs a{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Look at that!

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' {{--}}a Pee-Pants-Ometer down there at the bottom.

''{The eyes approach the bottom of the screen to an unseen staircase, moving back to the blue-walled floor.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Yeah, I can work one up. I mean, gimme a second.

''{typing noises}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' You typing it up?

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Yeah! Working on it!

''{The eyes go back to the orange floor, moving up, past the ghost.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Alright, bring it on-screen. We{{--}} we'll superimpose.

''{Videlectrix Two makes a high-pitched noise as a blue pant leg emerges in the left corner of the screen.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Eh{{--}} that's it!

''{A bird-like shape comes in from the top. The eyes move left to avoid it, before eventually moving back down to the staircase left of the prior one, moving to a green-walled floor.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' That's the Pee-Pants-Ometer?

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Well, I could only do one leg of the pant. See, that's the crotch part.

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Uh{{--}} you can't s{{--}} this is a... a family-wholesome Waggle! You can't say{{--}} here, beep{{--}} bleep me out. You can't say crotch{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Beep!

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' You di{{--}} you came in late, do it again.

''{Cut to further into the green floor. A second handle has been added to the urn, completing it.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' You can't say{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Beep!

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' {{--}}crotch... on the Weekly Waggle! Whatever that's supposed to be, fill it up, ''{the Pee-Pants-Ometer fills with several yellow rectangles}'' 'cause I have soiled myself, through and through.

''{The eyes go through another staircase on the top, returning to the orange floor.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Oh! The walls stained with blood. Here, look at that.

''{The eyes return to the green floor. They move to the staircase on the left, creating more light on the way, before moving to a yellow-walled floor. An insect is on the right, ignoring the eyes.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Why can't we see the rest of our body in the, um, the... candlelight?

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' What do you mean? We see the{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' The flicker should show the rest of our body.

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' It's an artistical choice!

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Okay.

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Have you ever experienced artistical film?

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' I{{--}} yeah.

''{Thunder roars again.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Hey, that made a different sound. You hear that?

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Do{{--}} do you really know what we're doing in this game?

''{The eyes move to the room on the right, wandering around it aimlessly.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Well{{--}} well, sure, we've got to assemble the shards and, uh, the{{--}} and the scepter, and then, uh, make the squares go through one of the black squares.

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Look at the font on those numbers, it's... quite scriptic.

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Yeah, like it's from the 1800s. The ''umpteen''-hundreds! Ha! ''{the complete urn appears below the eyes}'' That's how many times I've had to ask you ''{screaming}'' TO MAKE ''{inhale}'' GOOD GRAPHICS!

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Ah! Um...

''{Cut to the eyes moving around the blue floor. They move to an alcove on the right, causing music to play as the walls flash different colors.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Look at that!

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' We d{{--}}

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' We won! We stumbled right into the winning of the game!

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Let's, uh{{--}} okay, let's see what we get.

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' I can't wait to see the, the reward. Any second. Comin' up.

''{The game ends. The eyes and UI both turn yellow, while the eyes look around, no longer moving.}''

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' Wait, can we still move the eyes? Even after we've won?

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Oh, that's the reward!

'''VIDELECTRIX TWO:''' From the grave?

'''VIDELECTRIX ONE:''' Now everyone can go change their drawers. Time for a fresh pair!

''{The yellow rectangles in the Pee-Pants-Ometer slowly deplete until there are none left. The TV screen turns to static.}''
