Need suggestions on an Internet Show idea im considering.

Tell me what you think of this concept......

Title: Everyday with the Consoles

Concept: Video Game Consoles being portrayed by actors wearing shirts with the logo of the console they are supposed to be.

Characters:
- NES: A bitter and pissed off man, chews tobacco.
- SNES: Bookworm, married, wants nothing to do with the game busniess.
- N64: Thinks he was the first 3D console ever made, very full of himself.
- Master System: Deceased, but appears as a ghost.
- Genesis: Alcoholic, still has a grudge against the NES.
- 32X: Nephew of Genesis, wimp.
- Saturn: Drug Addict and wants to kill himself constantly.
- Dreamcast: Good friends with PS3, trying to make return.
- Xbox: Arrogant
- Gamecube: Loves himself way too much
- Playstation 1: Makes brief appearances.
- Playstation 2: Has a crush on the 360
- PS3: The biggest asshole to the other consoles besides Dreamcast.
- Wii: Shunned out by NES and SNES
-X Box 360: Verbaly abusive to his brother, the orginal XBox.

I was hoping for some ideas or feedback. im planning to write the show myself and send it to Collegehumor.com

I don't think the Genesis should be an alcoholic. I think he should be a recovered drug addict who owns a surf shop in Miami called "Blast P." Saturn tries to tempt him but, ends up finding how pathetic his life is in the process. LOL Kidding. Sounds like an okay idea.

Change the title. "Everyday with the Consoles" sounds way too plain.

I'm down with Miami, but I'd change the surf shop to a Scuba Dive school. There aren't any waves above knee-height over here.

P.S. What about giving Saturn Bipolar disorder instead. Better yet, multiple personality disorder. One personality is that of a broken-down industrialist, American, keep the recovering addict part. The other personality is that of a Japanese, successfull industrialist. He reverts to this latter stage whenever everyone starts to talk about 2D gaming. It's his happier, lighter side. Genesis doesn't like this stage. So he sets him back to broken-down industrialist by showing off his humongous 2D library.

I think the Genesis should be a recovering crack addict, it just feels right.

How about this for a title:

Consoles family reunion or Console Wars

I like that idea.

The Genesis should be an edgy teenage punk IMO. Just who Sega advertised to during the Genesis' run.

You should have the Atari 2600 in there, maybe have it as the "A bitter and pissed off man, chews tobacco." instead of NES, though I'm not sure that character fits either really. (Maybe the Commodore 64 too, maybe have it as a character that soehow fits "the computer that thought it was a game console" immage)

And 32x, but no Sega CD?

Why would the Xbox be arrogant?

There had better be console nudity and sex scenes in this idea.

Forget the consoles, sex and nudity FTW!

I agree. There should be female characters as well. Perhaps Sega Game Gear and Dreamcast. Game Gear has a crush on Game Boy. Dreamcast has a crush on PS3 (and vice-versa). However, their relationships have been kept secret for a very long time, as neither of the respective "Houses" allows their union. It's the Capulets versus the Montagues all over again (twice over).

Sega 32X and Sega CD should also be female. They are genesis' on-and-off partners. He can't seem to decide between the two, so he's seeing them both at the same time. He used to like being on top of Sega CD, but since she lost weight, Genesis has put her to the side. A big mistake on his part, he believes, for now he has to put up with that clunky 32X being on top. Deep inside, he has always regretted his separation from Sega Master System (also Female). SMS also liked being on top.

Also, you have too many characters that are arrogant or full of themselves.

The GameCube should be a nerdy little wallflower and the XBox should be a brainless body builder. And instead of simply being "shunned by NES and SNES," the Wii should be Richard Simmons.

I think the Genesis should be a guy in a suit jacket with spiked hair and aviator glasses that says "BLAST PROCESSING" all the time.

The problem is that you have too many systems listed and quite a few of them don't really have a "personality" that fits or one that really can be applied.

I had an idea about this at one time. I was thinking the Genesis was going to make fun of puny 8bit NES but constantly try to 1up the SNES with bizarre ideas like the 32x. Then with the Saturn and Dreamcast, they would be looking for any attention at all but get shunned by the PS1 and N64. And the failed consoles like the TurboGrafx or Atari Jaguar would come briefly and and get their asses kicked.

The Genny could strap on the 32x, sega cd, xband, Sega channel, and power base converter like Voltron. He could often talk about his past glories fighting the SNES in the good old days. while drunk.

SNES, could be confident on the outside but always be watching his back for the Genny.

NES could talk about his big brother beating up the Genny.

I just thought of a great title for your show:
:idea:
All My Systems
(yet another spoof of "All my Children," like "All my Circuits" in Futurama).
