Clearly out of new ideas, Comedy Central has resurrected “The Gong Show.” Here’s our pitch for a spin-off that executives would have a tough time puffing and passing on.
The Bong Show
This program contains high levels of THC: Totally Humorous Content!
Do you enjoy Letterman’s “Stupid Pet Tricks”? Then you’ll love the stupid pot tricks on The Bong Show with Tommy Chong. The Bong Show asks the question: How low will you stoop while getting high?
Stoners with special talents, step forward. Contestants will get wacky with the wacky tobacky as they compete for a chance to swap schwag for schwag. Prizes include free lifetime key replacement, a year’s supply of Doritos, a half-dozen black lights with complimentary installation and hanging out for an afternoon with Dave Chapelle. Unlike other prizes involving promised celebrity visits, Dave is guaranteed to not blow you off because he’s still under contract, so if he wants to get paid, he’ll show.
Tommy Chong and a rotating pannel of judges – including a tokin’ black guy — won’t be afraid to be blunt in their assessments. Only a select few will be given the green light. It’ll take skill and a little pot luck to prevail.
With a theme song performed by Sisqo (sample:“Ooh, that bong looks scandalous/ and I know a man with some cannabis. Let me see that Chong. That Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom Chong”), the seeds of hilarity are planted.
Prepare for chronic laughter with everyone’s best bud, Tommy Chong. The Bong Show is so Chong, it’s right! There’s no crack involved, but you will crack up!
