Heartfelt music playing as Dana tells Tom that she'll be his co-star because he sucks at his job, comparing him to a turd steaming on the carpet, that she needs to clean up.
Zack's reaction to Shannon bursting into the room and berating Tom and Dana.
Zack: Please don't eat me.
Tom fending off one of the more enthusiastic interviewees as she said she was "Up for anything..."
Tom: Oh, oh, uh...nonono No!
Eternal vigilance against "This Troper":
Mr. Administrator: A troper has just referred to himself in the first person. Wemust makean example of him.
Dana bringing the guys cold pizza when she returns from getting dinner. A really nice, friendly gesture. Except that there's only one small slice left in the box.
Dana: So I could take my hair down and be all "Hair Flip! Hair Flip!" and you'd be like "Oh, that is so-super-sexy!". [very long and awkward beat] Zack: I'd do her.
After Dana realizes Tom is flirting with her for insulting Zack.
Dana: Tom... *takes his hands, smiles fondly* I hate you.
The gag of confusing their characters and themselves, especially:
Dana: Do we have sexual tension? Tom: [Freezes like a rabbit in the headlights.]
Just seeing Tom and Dana on the same bed, even though Dana already stated outright she dislikes Tom.
Tom: "I mean have you seen her [Shannon's] boobs, Dana?"
Dana: "No, Tom. No, I haven't."
Tom: "They're so good."
And later:
Shannon: "Shut up, you just don't know anything about love."
Dana: "Oh no, my heart, she breaks. *Traces the outline of a teardrop down her cheek*
Tom: "I was writing what I know."
Zack: "Hah...that's why it's bad because you don't ah...you don't know a lot."
Zack: "Hey Dana? I followed you all day with my camera because I love you."
Dana: "That's nice, Zack." (goes inside)
Zack: "Aww...why doesn't she like me? It's like she couldn't even see my boner!"
On why Tom has suddenly become rather sanguine regarding Shannon.
Dana: "So...your stalker friended me on Facebook, by the way."
Tom: "Oh, you mean my Ex?"
Dana: "No Tom, I mean your stalker. An Ex is someone you run into at parties and pretend not to notice. And this is waaay creepier than that."
Tom: "Huh..."
Dana: "What do you mean 'Huh'?! A few days ago you were scared shitless of this girl...what...What is there to think about? If a guy were doing this to me I'd..."
Zack's complete misunderstanding of what a Chekhov's Gun is, while Tom makes the understanding worse. It culminates in Zack pointing an actual gun at Tom, and runs off from him while he tries to take off a striped shirt, thinking it will kill him.
"Just finished washing Tom's car. He didn't think it was funny. (I did)... To be fair, I cleaned his car with my pee. And the windows were open. And he was in it."
"I like bacon! Who else likes bacon? I like bacon in my nose! Who else likes bacon in my nose? Bacon. It goes in noses."
"Just found the journal I kept when I was seven. Best quote: 'if i am what i eat i think i am boogers'"
"How is there not already a Fishbook? You know... Facebook but for fishes? Why has this not happened?! D:"
"Tom called Dana a matryoshka doll because she's so short (I guess?). Is there a taller Dana running around somewhere?"
"Saw that scary girl Shannon again. She had her face mushed up against the window. I tried telling Tom but he threw crickets at me."
"I think I might have maybe kind of almost set the bathroom on fire?"
"I haven't seen Dave in a few days. I wonder if he got stuck in the sewer again. He likes to chase rats."
"Carried my camera through the Batman set - somebody tried to take it. I came at him like a monkey!"
"I found a penny on the ground! It was glued there, but I kept trying to pick it up anyway. Then I remembered I glued it there."
"I drew a face on my toilet in Sharpie. It looks angry haha! But now I regret doing it. I feel bad. I really should have made it look shocked."
"I wonder if Dana would want a present...specifically the wig I found on the side of the road today."
"Have you seen TV Tropes's Echo Chamber? It's like a web show within a web show wrapped in bacon."
"What? That's not how it happened! Now Tom's just making stuff up. He didn't even mention the thing with the bacon!"
"Holy crap! I just realized bacon used to be pigs! How long has this been true? D:"
"When I woke up, there was ANOTHER PINEAPPLE."
"Pigs are made of TURKEY??! Then is a turducken really a pigducken? I'm so confused. And scared."
"I wonder, if I leave bacon out, will it turn BACK into a pig? One way to find out!"
"My fingernails taste like cookies :D"
"Apparently you can retweet stuff? Wow! It's like technology and something else had a baby! (I couldn't think of a something else.)"
"Asked dad about the earthquake. He said it happened because I touch myself :( How does he always know?"
"Roadkill game: I lost score, but today I ran over a bottle of laundry detergent. Now dad's car is clean and pine-scented!"
"We're out of bacon...worst day ever." "DAD BROUGHT HOME THE BACON! Worst day ever: averted."
"Peanut butter is DELICIOUS."
"Soooooo week old bacon does NOT become a pig again. It becomes a hospitalized Dave. Myth: busted!"
"Ultimate challenge: Peanut butter and bacon. WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS BEFORE?"
"Found Dave in a closet today. Figured there should be some kind of joke there but I just couldn't think of anything."
"Did I always have this creepy troll doll in my underwear drawer? Where did it come from?!" #ohgodsoscared
"I got halfway to middle school today before I realized I grew up. Then I woke up. Then I actually went to middle school. They made me leave."
"Ha! I watched a pot today! It boiled! To be fair, it was already boiling. But I still feel like I accomplished something today."
"Note to self: Red Bull does NOT give you wings. Remember that before you try to fly off your house next time, self. Ow."
"Dad got a package labeled "BOMB". He didn't want to open it, so I did. Inside was a turd and a note saying "Ha ha". Thanks, Uncle Bill!"
"Tom keeps sending me long lists of things I "need" to "do". Good thing God granted me a spam folder!"
"Dana is talking so much I think she's on a sugar high or something."
"Taught myself the marimba. Didn't have real drumsticks, so I used chicken drumsticks. The middle school janitor heard me and kicked me out."
"We've got auditions tomorrow. Guess that means I should help Tom. No, wait that's the coffee talking."
Halloween entry: "Tom says I should be myself today and that's scary enough. I told him to look in a mirror."
"I can't tell if Tom is thinking or hit his head. He makes the same face for everything."
"Tom's talking about music. I wish he'd stop humming. It's creepy."
"I ENVY NO MAN! Only Spongebob, and even then only occasionally."
"It's too cold out to be sweaty. Also, my blood was replaced with red slurpie years ago."
"I got tangled up in Christmas lights today and somebody thought I was a Christmas tree."
"Apparently stuffing is *not* turkey poop. Good to know."
"Christmas ornaments that look like cookies don't taste very good. Weird."
"Roadkill game: I ran over a sandwich today. It was roast beef, so it's kind of like roadkill."
"I wonder if this cranberry sauce is okay. It's starting to smell like my socks."
"Note to followers: If you drop a banana on the floor, only eat it if you haven't peeled it already."
"Fell asleep under a tree- somebody put me in a box."
"My shoulders ache. Either I slept bad, or someone switched my arms while I was sleeping."
"Chocolate comes in boxes, right? I think I found some chocolate in this old box on the sidewalk. It smells kind of bad, though. (later) Nope not chocolate. I think it was raccoon poop."
"Dave is sick today. I'm going to cure him...with SCIENCE!"
"I keep falling asleep under bushes and then birds try to nest in my hair. Kind of rude."
"You know what makes ham sandwiches better? Taking the ham off, and the bread, and eating the cheese."
"I was sick, but now I'm not! Time for cartwheels!"
"What? A new comedy about an unemployed guy? I CAN RELATE."
"Chocolate sauce and peanut butter sandwich. The question is not "Why" but "WHY ISN'T EVERYBODY DOING THIS""
The title of the first post is: My first blog post! Oh my god, I'm so talented!
Anything you can do...
I’m going to show him that no matter what that Dana girl does, I’ll do better. They want to have a fight by a pond? Well, he and I will have an even BIGGER fight by an even PRETTIER pond!
Shannon appears to have gone right off the deep end of crazy:
[Following Zack] And how did he notice me in the first place, seeing as I’ve been wearing nothing but camouflage since the whole operation began? I might have to get my roller skates out of the closet so I can keep up with him.
