Monologue Wednesday: "The Weather Channel"

Hello. I am posting today about something I will be doing on "Kody's Komedy Klub." It is called "Monologue Wednesday." To celebrate Hump Day, every day for a certain amount of time, I will be posting a comedic monologue from me every Wednesday.

Oh yeah. It's Wednesday! So to celebrate the start of "Monologue Wednesday," here's a monologue about "The Weather Channel":

Weather Channel:
Wow, TV’s come a long way; we can watch so many channels now. But I’ll tell ya, I never saw this one coming...

The Weather Channel

When the Weather Channel hit TV, I thought “Riighttt.... People are going to watch a channel... about the weather." Next to watching the perpetual fireplace channel, I can’t think of a more boring concept for a TV program. “Oh no” they say....”people want to watch the weather. In fact they want to watch it so much, we’re going to repeat the same stuff every 20 minutes." Riiighttt....

Know what scares me most about the Weather channel? I’ve started watching it. I did. As bad as that sounds, the great thing about the Weather Channel is not having to follow a story. Cloudy with sunny periods. 60% chance of showers. That’s easy. You can’t get lost in the plot, or confused about who did it, in this story. And there’s that catchy tune that starts every time the ‘Local Forecast’ is coming. I dive in front of the TV when I hear that playing. They talk about the rest of the Country and the world for 20 minutes. Then that Local forecast tune hits and you think... “Hey, we’re on!” “Guys!!!!!!! Come quick! We’re on TV! It’s the LOCAL FORECAST!”

Previously over looked potential channels are now being considered. Like... The Benjamin Moore channel. We can finally tune in to watch paint drying. And The Pet Care channel: -Don’t miss this weeks special- “Flossing your cats teeth.” fun for the whole family! But at least these channels have topics that change a little. The Weather channel's stories are so limited. There’s rain, sun, cloudy, snow and some storms; then you’ve seen it all. After that you’re guaranteed to be watching reruns. So I imagine them, in the board room, trying to come up with other stuff to fill in the time and make the weather entertaining....

So, I hope you enjoyed this monologue. Basically, it sums up my pros and cons of the Weather Channel. Next week's monologue will be a short list of "Honest Slogans." After "Honest Slogans," I will be posting a monologue; the popular "Losing Things" by George Carlin. See ya!
