Hey! You call this slop? Real slop has got chunks in it! This is more like gruel! And this Chateau le Blanc '68 is supposed to be served slightly chilled! This is room temperature! What do you think we are, animals?
It’s basically like an ellipsis. The punchline has been delivered, that this “game” is just imprisonment, but to actually describe imprisonment, you’d need a lot more sentences.
It is interesting, that it doesn’t use “…”.
I guess, you’d write “…” when a thought is somewhat complete, whereas here, it’s specifically a run-on sentence that’s being cut off.
In one episode of GameChanger, the host mentions a few others that they weren’t aware of when the intro text was written: Taskmaster (which is awesome) and Ellen’s Game of Games.
This is taking the intro text from Gamechanger, a game show from Dropout (what used to be called College Humor). They have a YouTube channel, but I believe Dropout is its own network for different shows now and not just YouTube.
They have their own paid service now (dropout.tv). It’s about $5 a month. They have a great DnD live play show called Dimension20 if that’s you’re thing. They have some other shows too like Game Changer, play it by ear (like whose line), no laugh newsroom, dirty laundry (people try to guess each other’s secrets), um, actually (a show where contestants make pedantic corrections about nerd stuff), and a couple others.
They have some scripted stuff but a lot of their shows rely, in full or in part, on improv. So if improvs not your thing then dropouts probably not for you.
Also, Very Important People, which I have to mention as a full on Vic stan. I thought Brennan was the love of my life, but Vic is working on usurping him. I love an elderly British man in a brown suit.
