Shovelware's Brain Game

Author POV

Ah, Shovelware's Brain Game. Everyone's favorite gameshow. With its success, there's bound to be some pretty well known contestants. 

Here, we have a very fun friend group. One where each person was good at one specific thing. There were only 6 people that showed up. They all looked pretty eager to start. They set up their podiums, and began to wait for the show to start. 

Not even a minute passed by, and they heard the announcer say, 

"🎙Filmed live here at Shovelware's Hollywood Studios, it's the ONLY gameshow still on air to this day, it's Shovelware'sss Brainnn Gameee!"

Everyone started cheering, including the contestants. In the middle of everyone cheering, the announcer then said, 

"🎙He's the guy who promised, but still hasn't given me a raise, it's the Dancing Bananaaaa!"

The banana did the Family Guy fall down the stairs, got back up, and ran onto the stage. 

"Thank you, thank you! You're too kind! Well, an adequate amount of kind. But thanks anyway!"

After he said that, the game officially started. 

He walked over to the first contestant. It was a bald farmer with a cowboy hat, overalls with no shirt, and black boots. He also had dark green eyes, and buck teeth, and looked pretty tired. His podium read 'mrflimflam'.

"Did we invite you here, or did you just kinda wander onto the set? Eh, either way contestants are contestants! Why don't ya pick a category?" said the banana. 

The farmer thought for a few seconds, and picked 'countries all around'. (also some these are my own) 

"Ah, countries. Let's see how much you know about our planet!" the banana exclaimed.

"🎙 Ok, so my friends think upside-down houses don't exist, but they've been around for a longer time than you may think! I mean now there's more than 20 probably! I know that's not much, but these are houses upside-down! Say, where did this whole thing start from? Where was the first upside-down house built from?"

Where was the first upside-down house built? 

Poland.            Russia.            U.S.              Canada

The farmer looked nervous. He timbers had been shivered. This was the same for the other five people there. Each buzzed in hesitantly. The farmer was last to answer, and was met with the response from the banana, 

"Learn from your mistakes, and do better next time."

❌✅❌❌✅❌

Was the order. The eyeball looking thing, and the guy with a tail got it right, probably through guessing. 

The answer was Poland by the way. 

Before the banana could move to the next contestant, there was an angered guest. 

"Excuse me!" he started.

"I was promised humorous content, and yet, I haven't laughed once!"

"You want a refund or something?" the banana asked. 

"A refund? A REFUND?! PSHAHAHAHAHA! No, I'd like something much bigger." he stood up out of his seat. 

".... A refund would be quite nice actually."

"Well, you just laughed, so I can't give ya one."

The pear was about to say something, but simply sat back down, angered. The banana got back to his show after that. The contestants were having side conversations, but stopped to continue the game. 

The next contestant was a black eyeball with yellow outline, and a mainly red outer eye. He also had one tiny hair sticking up, slightly bent. He was wearing a white button up, with an orange bowtie similar to the banana. He also had a magenta-ish jacket, jeans, and red converses. He also had a skeleton leg. His podium read 'jokerkid5898'.

"Welcome! Say, do I know you from somewhere? Doesn't matter, pick a category!"

The eyeball looked around for a bit, probably unable to speak. 

"Ok if ya can't talk, then walk and touch the one ya want. Ya tall enough."

He clicked the Non sense one. 

Everyone one answered it right, and won a new carrrrrrrdinal. It's a cool bird. 

To summarize, Yellow MegaMind (Temprist), a masked girl (polarcub_art), a guy with a tail, (jayingee), and a red glitch (laughability) all went afterwards. This went on a few times before the winner was announced. 

The winner was jokerkid5898, with like 58 points. He won a trip to Brazil. Although, something a little weird happened when he won. 

While the other five, and audience, were leaving, the banana held Joker back. 

"Sir, you did so good! I've gotta say, I'm impressed! Usually contestants don't amuse me that much, but you made me smile wider than I ever have!"

Joker sat down to be almost at level with banana. 

"Say, I think you'd be a perfect fit here! You've got confidence, you can make people laugh easily, you're dressed appropriately, loving the tie, you've got it all! But I've got a question. Can ya talk?"

"Yeah" the eye said. 

"Oh! Perfect then! Y'know,I think we'll get along well."

The banana pulled out a tiny paper and wrote numbers. He then handed the paper over. 

"If ya decide for sure, give me a call. Call me if ya need a favor, too."

"Now I best be on my way, I've got someone to meet in the giftshop."

And just like that, the banana was gone. Joker got up, put the paper in his pocket, and left, thinking. 

'Maybe I should work here a little. Seems kinda fun.' he thought. 

He caught up with mrflimflam, and they were on their ways.
