From an AIM convo with [livejournal.com profile] remix17 in which we ponder what would happen if Zemo from Marvel's Thunderbolts and the late, lamented Spoiler from DC's Batbooks got their own sitcom.


[livejournal.com profile] remix17: especially zemo and HER
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: she's all nice and cheerful and ...good
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: and he's.... not.
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: lol yes
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: the odd couple!
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: somebody give 'em a sitcom!
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: and she'd also be all wanting to be in charge and he's like whooaaaaaa
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: spoiler comes in. "honey, did you try to conquer the world again?"
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: cue laugh track
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: i picture a happy-go-lucky opening segment like on friends. zemo and spoiler holding umbrellas. zemo and spoiler splashing in a fountain.
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: zemo and spoiler accidently switching masks. hilarity!
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: zemo juggling his orbs and then loses them, ala chandler
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: spoiler diving behind the couch
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: spoiler catching the orbs and handing them back to an abashed zemo, then she kisses him on the cheek
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: fixer barging in to steal from the fridge
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: lol the infamous "they got together!" episode
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: Zemo: WE WERE ON A BREAK!
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: dear gods do we dare speak of the jellyfish ep XD
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: the pink mask gags will never stop
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: and the audience likes it that way
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: his and hers masks
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: "excuse me, ma'am?"
"i am not a woman!"
fixer: "you complain like one"
*laugh track*
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: lol his and hers everything! hers are all blue, his are all pink
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: melissa is like maris on frasier, only spoken of, never seen
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: and abe is the loser straight man on the show XD
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: zemo and gunther have long talks in german
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: omg like that ep of seinfeld where they hitch a limosine ride w/white supremacists would go SO DIFFERENTLY on the zemo/spoiler sitcom
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: OMG HOLY CRAP!
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: fixer is SO the wacky neighbor
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: moonstone is the psychiatrist who does couples counseling between zemo and spoiler
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: and tries to hit on zemo XD
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: jolt is someone zemo runs over by accident
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: but he's glad it happened
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: omigod!!!!
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: like george castanza and his fiancee XD
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: its a running gag that every visit to fixer's apartment you see tubs filled w/clones of zemo. "that fixer! what a guy!" *laugh track*
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: and each clone is a different race. zemo is all "i'm black! i'm asian! not that there's anything wrong with that!"
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: abe becomes a black man partway through season 1 when they hire a new actor
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: and an entire episode is zemo fearing to go to the supermarket cuz he's sure one guy is lusting after him.
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: "he was undressing me with his eyes!"
"he was looking at the lettuce!"
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: cap is zemo's newman, only reversed!!
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: "hello--CAPTAIN."
"ZEMO."
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: so cap is jerry and zemo is newman, but thinks he's a jerry
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: but on spoiler's side -- robin, the perfect ex-boyfriend zemo is sekritly incredibly jealous of
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: ee! yes
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: because robin and spoiler still have a really friendly relationship and that just EATS ZEMO UP
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: yes perfect
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: batgirl, huntress, and oracle are spoiler's best galpals who constantly tell her shes too good for zemo
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: and fixer is always getting zemo into trouble and they say "SEE"
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: and zemo has to fix everything by the end
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: he does so in a wacky and yet still oddly-endearing manner every episode!
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: yes!
[livejournal.com profile] mississippienne: and spoiler has a "cant help loving that man 'o' mine" moment at the end of every ep where she and zemo kiss. *fade to black*
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: and every episode starts with her saying something like "new neighbors!" and zemo is all "are they black?" and cue laugh track. then he says something racist and they were sekritly behind him and he has to go out of his way to prove he isn't!
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: and he learns a VALUABLE LESSON about black people by the end
[livejournal.com profile] remix17: and listens to hip hop
