Script for a New Cereal Commercial

You never know what mom has hiding in her pantry.

[SCENE: A pristine suburban kitchen. Classical music plays softly. A mother in pearls sets a bowl of plain oats in front of her son]

MOTHER: Now Timothy, eat your sensible breakfast—

[EXPLOSION SOUND. The kitchen door BURSTS open. A wild-haired man in a lab coat crashes through, riding a shopping cart]

DR. OHNO: DID SOMEONE SAY… SENSIBLE?!

[Thunder crashes. Lightning flashes. The cereal mascot “CAPTAIN TATAS” – a deranged-looking rooster wearing aviator sunglasses – swoops down from the ceiling on a tiny parachute]

CAPTAIN TATAS: NOT ON MY WATCH, BUCKAROO!

[The Captain karate-chops the bowl of oats. It explodes into confetti. He pulls out a box of Hot Nipples – the cereal pieces are shaped like tiny perky marbles, all light-brown in color]

ANNOUNCER: (dramatic voice-over) HOT NIPPLES! The cereal that doesn’t just wake you up… IT MAKES YOU STAND UP AT ATTENTION!

[Cut to: Timothy pouring the cereal. Each piece that hits the bowl makes a different sound effect – air horns, car alarms, foghorns, screaming goats]

TIMOTHY: Wow! It’s like a symphony of chaos!

[He takes a bite. His hair immediately stands straight up. His eyes glow. He starts speaking in fast-forward]

TIMOTHY: (super fast) Mom-I-can-see-through-time-and-I-think-the-mailman-is-actually-three-raccoons-in-a-trench-coat! And-your-boyfriend!

MOTHER: (deadpan) That’s nice, dear. I suppose everyone will be just as thrilled when I give them some Hot Nipples.

[Cut to: Various “testimonials” – all clearly actors in ridiculous situations]

SATISFIED CUSTOMER #1: (hanging upside down from a chandelier) Before Hot Nipples, I was just a boring accountant. Now I’m a boring accountant who is a pervert!

SATISFIED CUSTOMER #2: (standing in a kitchen that’s somehow on fire but she’s completely calm) My husband said this cereal was “too intense.” That’s why I divorced him and married this cereal! (holds up a ring made of cereal pieces) Plus it tastes even better when I am lactating. Everyone loves when I fill up a bowl.

[Cut back to kitchen. CAPTAIN TATAS is now juggling flaming breakfast items]

CAPTAIN TATAS: With 47 essential vitamins, 23 non-essential vitamins, and one vitamin we just made up called Vitamin AAAAHHHHH!

DR. OHNO: (still in shopping cart, now somehow going in circles on the ceiling) Plus it’s got enough sugar to power a small aircraft carrier!

[The kitchen begins to vibrate. Picture frames fall off walls]

ANNOUNCER: Hot Nipples! Available in three arousing flavors: Hot Chocolate, Winter Breeze, and New! Extra Perky!

[Timothy is now vibrating so fast he’s just a blur]

TIMOTHY: (vibrating voice) I can see every decision I’ve ever made and I regret NOTHING! I love you Mommy. Thanks for the Hot Nipples!

[Cut to mandatory health warning, spoken at lightning speed while footage shows people doing increasingly absurd things after eating the cereal – running up walls, communicating with houseplants, etc.]

[Final shot: The entire family is now floating in the air, spinning slowly, while the house shakes around them]

WHOLE FAMILY: (in perfect harmony while rotating) ♪ Hot Nipples! ♪

CAPTAIN TATAS: (saluting as he rockets out through the roof) REMEMBER KIDS – CHAOS IS THE BREAST MEAL OF THE DAY!

[Logo appears: A cartoon explosion with the cereal box in the center]

ANNOUNCER: Hot Nipples. Start your day with MAXIMUM PLEASURE!

[Quiet text at bottom: “Not recommended for children under 47, adults over 12, or anyone planning to operate heavy machinery, light machinery, or regular-weight machinery.”]
