(One-shot due to my utter shitty patience in doing full stories; that means "Rayman: Off the Record" is on hold... possibly even cancelled. Hey, at least I'm not Megaman Legends 3... sniff)

It's a beautiful day in... some place around here on Earth. Meh...

Okay, enough nonsense! And let's get right into the good stuff. It is a beautiful, but boring, awful, uninspired... I can't do this, okay?! Sigh... Jim was at his shack, on where he lived with his roommate and best friend Peter Puppy, setting up a camera to film him, as a way to do talking to fans.

Peter: *walking in to Jim, who is hilarously failing to set up his tripod correctly* Uh... what'cha doing?

Jim: Oh, hello there, small fella! I'm just-ah... hmn.. setting up this thing for these.. uh, how do you call these that ya show yer face to the camera on MooTube?

Peter: Vlogs?

Jim: Sorreh, not a plumber, can't work on clogs!

Peter: I said Vlogs! V-L-O-G-S!

Jim: Ooh.. ya mean video blogs! *he sees Peter's utter "oh really?" face* Sorry if I'm not into these-ah, well, portmanteau things!

Peter: *he sighs deeply* Okay... tell me why are you planning to do one, then?

Jim: Oh, hehe, I always found most of these cool, and abunch of fans on the internet keep asking me: "Do a vlog!", "make a channel!"...! *keeps talking all the stuff while Peter helps him set the tripod up* But guess what my lil' pal! Their dreams will come to life!

Peter: Heh, nice to know you love your fans!

Jim: I do! They make me feel better!

Peter: Aww, how cute.

Jim: Make me feel better about my ego!

Peter: And then again, you just kill the mood. Classic Jim, as always. *snickers*

Jim: Keep it shut, mind you? Now feast at this tripod! *points them at the tripod with the camera, which then all the pods get separated, prompting to make them and the camera falling headfirst on the ground* Damn you, Newton!

Peter: Okay, Jim, no offense, but lemme fix this thing for you! *pushes him away as he picks up the defixed tripod, and the camera*

Jim: Oh, beliemme', Pete! I ain't offended at all... *he jumps into the couch and picks up a magazine* Try to do a good job!

Peter: ...lazy bum... *sighs and goes into fixing it*

(Minutes later, Jim films, edits, and spices up his vlog.)

(Fron now on, the dialogue will be based on the video Jim made!)

Jim: *pops up to the middle of the screen* Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! Or... good morning, good afternoon, who cares? Heh, the name's Earthworm Jim, the greatest superhero of the galaxy!

Peter: *offscreen* But ain't that Superman?

Jim: *looks angrily* That red trouser wearing fool doesn't exist, you son of a-

*cuts*

Jim: And, heh, I.. kinda decided to these, heh, clogs, and...

Peter: VLOGS.

Jim: Heeh... THOSE, and what's a better way to male a sensational debut on-line than telling you guys what I do every other boring, stupid, worthless, laughable and awful day of my life?! Well, eating pizza, but I got so many questions from you that I'm not bothered to eat pizzaaaAAAAAARRRGGHHH.

(Cut)

"Morninwood": hey Jim, what's your morning routine?

Jim: Well, my friend, that's pretty, really basic stuff... first, I wake up!

(Cuts to a still of Jim peacefully sleeping on his bed, snoring loudly)

(An alarm clock start to go off, playing a MIDI version of "New Junk City")

Jim: *grabs his gun and shoots it until it explodes* Eeatt duurt, styupeehd alahhrmm claaoorkk daaht ruuihns mah sleeuuhpp... hahhmmhahamnhhn... *mumbling in his sleep and pillow* (Eat dirt, stupid alarm clock that ruins my sleep, hahahaha..)

Jim: *now in the bathroom, he's brushing his teeth*

Peter: *waking up* G' mornin', Jim...

Jim: Howdy, roommate... slept well?

Peter: Was until you told the clock to eat dirt.

Jim: ...sorry. I'll buy another one... of the thousands that I broke. *cuts to a box full of broken clocks, while a "scare chord" plays* (you know, those from Spongebob where a DAAAAHHHHHHH plays when some suspenseful and scary stuff happens?)

(Cuts to Jim looking at a table)

Peter: Hey, Jim, can you get somethin' for breakfast?

Jim: In a minute! *looks at the bread* ....nah. *looks at a cereal box* ..no way. *looks at a bag of garden dirt* *eyes widened*

*Jim drops a bowl full of dirt in front of Peter, who was a "lolwut" look in his face*

Peter: Eh, Jim, I don't want to insult your cooking or food-doing, but.. what IS that??

Jim: Somethin' for ya to eat.. durr.

Peter: Jim... this is dirt...

Jim: Aaaaannnddd?

Peter: You got me... DIRT, to eat. That.

Jim: And thaaat's okay, because if you don't eat this dirt, I'LL MAKE YOU EAT ANOTHER DIRT!!!!

Peter: ...are you real?

Jim: Just enjoy this stupid bowl...

"dadevilukn0w": Jimmy, my creamy... uh, well, you have any sorts of entertainment when there's nothing to fight or shoot?

Jim: Well, first off, what the heck? And second, yeah! Actually, I do! I play games...

(Cut)

Peter: I kicked your BUTT,  again! HAHAHA!

Jim: Grrrrr!! That was pure, undoubtedly, LUCK! Only!

(Cut)

Jim: I go driving cars...

(Cut)

Jim: Okay.. *puts down his car window* What's the problem, officer?

Policewoman: Sorry, sir, you stopped right in front of an hidrant. I'll have to give you a ticket.

Jim: *gasps* You're threatening me? Me?! The great Earthworm Jim?! With a TICKET?? The one who saved your pasty butts 24/7?! What has this world come to?! *throws hands into the aor, hopefully to make her feel bad*

Policewoman: It got traffic rules, sweetie. *glues a ticket in his head, mockingly petting his head, smirking* Have a good day, sir. *walks away*

(Cut)

Jim: I also try some fighting!

(Cuts to Jim and Peter positioning to fight)

Jim: Heh... no guns, but I still can kick your butt! *kicks multiple times in the air*

Peter: Well, let's see 'bout that! *smirks, gestures for him to fight*

Jim: WAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH... *runs towards him* EAT DIIR- *gets effortlessly punched in the face by Peter* *a bell goes out, with Jim fainting*

Peter: *he looks down at him* Ya got knocked the luck out, man! *laughs as he walks away victoriously*

"catscratcherZ": Hey, Jim! First off, I love you and your deeds!

Jim: Aww, thank you!

"catscratcherZ": But do you have a love life? Or anyone you crush on?

Jim: Uh... well.. *blushes* Sadly, I don't have anyone I am dating at the moment, but YEAH! I actually did have a crush before... she was like, a wonderful princess, man!

What's-Her-Name: Oh, who's that? Some girl from your past, I see?

Jim: *gasps in surprise* GAH! Oh, uh, heh.. I never.. heh, really knew her really much.. not even the name.. yep, I don't know what's HER name is.. but she was just one beautiful woman!

What's-Her-Name: Ah, interesting. *walks away*

Peter: Uh, Jim? You fine, buddy?

Jim: I'll just.. sigh.. edit that out.

(Cut)

"themindlessviperstar": Why do you live in a shack? Peacefulness?

Jim: Well, buddy, you just answered your own question! Actually, it was something my therapist told me to cool off my crazy tendencies.

Peter: (offscreen) Judging by the clocks he broke, it's going really well!

Jim: SHUT YOUR PUNY, LITTLE PUPPY MOUTH! *looks at the camera, and gives it a thumbs up, smiling*

Jim: Now you, heh, just watched my life and a really basic Q&A, as these fellas say it.. so if you enjoyed this thing, you could just, well, subscribe by clicking this button down here! And... SQUADALAH, we're off! *shoots the camera*

(Cuts to Jim and Peter watching the video, both with eyes widened)

Peter: You're lucky the footage survived.

Firstly, I absolutely love the chemistry between Jim and Peter, I could just watch an entire show where it was just them living life if it were written like this! Secondly, love the very blunt style of humor, Very tightly written, witty dialogue for it as well. Lastly, I even enjoy the vague hints of Jim having an emotional core despite being rather arrogant and seemingly negligent for the most part. Overall, a shame this'll be "discontinued" or "unfinished" (however you want to word it) because I see something with great promise!
