The Annual Tyrannian Christmas Celebration!

     Well, it's that time of year when one Neopian act dusts off the old microphone and enters the stage at the Concert Hall on the Tyrannian Plateau.

     Last year, Dr. Frank Sloth 'entertained' us with a gruelling two-hour show of his favourite festive songs, and it wasn't very good. In fact, it was a complete disaster. His singing was SO out of tune, SO awful that Boochi got angry and fired his ray gun at the Concert Hall, making it SO small it had to be rebuilt completely! It has taken the Tyrannian Council all year to get it back to its original structure.

     But this year, The Bug Brothers have taken a break from stealing your hard earned Neopoints, and are ready to make you all laugh! We really do hope they are good; they were the only ones who auditioned. Fingers crossed... We hope you enjoy the jokes!

     The Bug Brothers enter the stage, waving at the audience.

     "Me first!",

     "No, me!", they shout at each other.

     The crowd smiles, the Bug Brothers are funny even without trying. They grab their microphones and everyone watches closely. Here we go.

     • Why are Firs so bad at sewing?

      ○ They always drop their needles!

     • What Petpet drops from the clouds?

     ○ A Raindorf!

     • How do you know that carrots are good for your eyesight?

      ○ Have you ever seen a Snowbunny wearing glasses?

     • What did the Jinjah put on his bed?

     ○ A cookie sheet!

     • What do grapes sing during the festive season?

     ○ ‘Tis the season to be jelly.

     • What do you call an obnoxious Raindorf?

     ○ Rude-orf!

     • What does a Felf study in school?

     ○ The Felfabet

     The Felfs in the audience giggle, "It's true!" they laugh.

     • Knock, knock!

      ○ Who’s there?

     Snow.

     ○ Snow who?

     Snow time to waste. It’s almost Christmas!

     • What do Abominable Snowballs like to do on the weekend?

     ○ Just chill!

     • Who hides in the bakery at Christmas?

     ○ A mince spy!

     • What do Myncis sing at Christmas?

     ○ Jungle Bells!

     "Jungle Bells!" the audience cry, stamping their feet snickering. I think everyone has forgiven them for their thievery over the years. Their jokes really do make up for it! We are seeing the Bug Brothers in a whole new light, and it’s amazing!

     It’s time for the interval. The mid-show snack is Tyrannian Holiday Cookies and the refreshments are the famous Super Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop’s very own Snowcones, flown in from Terror Mountain by an army of Pteris. Everyone will be able to have their Omelette Christmas Dinner after the show, so they don’t want to fill up their tummies too much. This has been planned down to the smallest detail!

     The Bug Brothers’ act is going very well so far. It is SO much better than silly Sloth’s attempt last year. Could it be, the Tyrannian Council have finally got it right?

     The interval is over and the Bug Brothers are back on the stage. It looks like they are working together much better now, no pushing or shoving, no arguing. Who knew they could put on a show like this? Not me.

     “You stood on my shoe!” shouts one Bug Brother, shoving the other offstage. I think I spoke too soon. The audience think they are hilarious! The comical pair grab their microphones and get back on with the show.

     • What kind of ball doesn't bounce?

     ○ A snowball!

     • What do you get if you cross a rubber duck with a Christmas Paint Brush?

     ○ A Christmas quacker.

     • What would you call a Felf who had just won the lottery?

     ○ Welfy!

     • Knock, knock!

     ○ Who’s there?

     Donut.

     ○ Donut who?

      Donut open ‘til Christmas!

     • What did the Deaver say to the Fir?

      ○ Nice gnawing you!

     • What do Babaas say at Christmas?

     ○ A very merry Christmas to ewe!

     "Baaaaaaaaaaa!" cry the Babaas in the audience. The Concert Hall vibrates; there are a LOT of Babaas here, and they are happy just to be mentioned.

     • What did one Snowickle say to another Snowickle?

     ○ You're cool!

     • What did the Skunk Usul family sing at Christmas?

     ○Jingle Smells!

     • What do you call a frozen Felf hanging from the ceiling?

     ○ A Felfcicle!

     I think this year's act was a big hit! The Felfs are on the floor, chortling, unable to stop. The whole Concert Hall erupts in laughter! The pews are shaking from all the giggling. Maybe the Bug Brothers have found their true calling; no longer will they need to jump up at Neopets around Neopia, stealing their Neopoints. They are amazing comedians and definitely have a future on stage! They take their final bow, and as the curtains close the concert-goers are still laughing and giggling away…

     But wait… the laughing is too much… who is that coming through the door? Grarrl Keno comes rushing inside the Hall, waving his arms.

     "STOP LAUGHING!" he shouts, looking incredibly worried. "All this rumbling has set off the volcano! EVERYONE EVACUATE THE CONCERT HALL IMMEDIATELY!"

     Tarla thinks for a second and quickly chimes in, "Oh dear, the Omelette is covered with lava already. There goes our Omelette Christmas Dinner. We'd better all head to Terror Mountain where we can celebrate Christmas properly. Come on, everybody, follow me!"

     The audience grab their belongings and quickly leave the hall while the Tyrannian Council ensure everyone leaves and is safe. They don't look happy. They look miserable. They're going to have to rebuild the stadium AGAIN.

     Never mind, Tyrannia, you tried. Let's try again next year.

     Merry Christmas, everyone! And remember, don't go putting a Christmas comedy act near an active Volcano, or you might have a burnt Christmas dinner, too.
