Fun with #SPNnow & #ifSPNstilldidthings
Although I do love Supernatural (honest!) I try to venture out now and then. Like really bad movies! I savor MST3k and Rifftrax as well as others who bring to our attention hilariously bad cinema. When you find that intersection of interests with someone else… then comedy can ensue (or at least be attempted).
So….it’s good to get noticed by a popular internet humorist! …….right??
Do any of you follow ObscurusLupa on Facebook? Are you familiar with her videos?
What would you add to her wild wishlist of fantasy episodes? Don’t be afraid to brainstorm in the comments! I suggest starting plot pitches with “if Supernatural still….”. If you instead wish to add to her satire, start your comments with “SPN Now” so we can tell which is which!
Ok. I am working on the funny, not having a lot of luck just yet. But in the meantime ….
Sam and Dean are living right beside a town.
So: an episode where they are interpreted from the point of view of the people of the town, who see them on a regular basis but they keep to themselves. Nobody knows where they live, they don’t give away much. They hang out in the bar occasionally and never win more than a few bucks playing pool. The local coffee shop is run by a middle aged woman. The sheriff is suspicious but ends up believing Jody when she vouches for them.
There are either absolutely no non-human monsters or the entire place is ‘Welcome to Nightvale’.
I would call this episode ‘A Day in the Life …’

2) Dean and Sam discover a goblin market in an underworld that you get through from the basement level of the bunker.
Not sure why, it just seems like there ought to be sort of the anti-Narnia (or the anti-Oz).
3) How about a shaggy dog episode!
The guys are talked into buying a cute thing that looks like a miniature ferret. When they get home (and are really not sure why they bought a ferret) it starts to grow and they have to work out how to stop that.
The thing can talk and it says it is called a ‘rary’ (stop me if you’ve heard this one before, it is particularly bad), it is friendly but it keeps on growing. The guys discover that the only way to get rid of it is to push it off a cliff. When they are at the top of the cliff it looks over the edge and says mournfully ‘It’s a long way to tip a rary’
So they find a home for personified terrible puns and leave it there instead. #ifSPNstilldidthings
4) Sam, Dean, Cas, Crowley, Jody and Charlie find themselves in a version of ‘Cube’ except every time they go through a door they end up in a different motel room that is trying to kill them. Everyone dies except Sam because the last motel room is the one where he fixed the ceiling fan in season 8 and so he knows how to escape it. It turns out that the entire thing was an hallucination brought on by eating too much salad (It was Dean who ate too much salad and had the hallucination – Sam is immune to the effects of salad).
When Dean comes out of the hallucination …. he finds himself in the first of a series of motel rooms … with Sam, Cas, Crowley, Charlie and Jody (they all blame him for this). This ends the episode. The following episode makes no reference whatsoever to this episode. Fandom freaks the hell out.
Someone clones both brothers and makes female equivalents of each. they then try to convince each brother that his brother has been turned into a girl.
Sam looks mildly concerned at female Dean. Says nothing*
Dean makes a few halfhearted jokes at female Sam’s expense
Both brothers settle down and sulk for the entire episode. The female versions kick ass and are generally awesome. Eventually the mad scientist running the experiment gets bored, reveals himself and is spectacularly offed by Sam and Dean working in wonderful concert.
Dean makes the same lame jokes to Sam that he made to female Sam. Sam and Female!Sam glare, and when that doesn’t work spray him with water.
Female!Sam and Female!Dean leave on a trip for some arbitrary reason so the show doesn’t have to pay the actresses next week. They are never mentioned again.

*because Sam is, like, internal, man! He’s deep.

Hi L2B. Great to see you back! Thanks for that, I got on a roll…. I’m not ENTIRELY sure I correctly understood the challenge, but it entertained me anyway 😉
The challenge? The challenge is just to HAVE FUN and be silly. 😀
You’re all good, eilf, I just haven’t been able to reply much ’cause of IRL things and the site not always letting me log on.
