I don't know why, but THIS was my favorite line of the story: "Never get those outside Buffalo, my friend," Andy says. "Stick with the original."
That just sealed it for me. That is Andy, to a "T." Nice work!!

I don't know why, either, but I'm glad you liked it because that one started off as something else entirely and just... MORPHED. Oh, ANDY.

Awesome dialogue and characterizations! Everyone sounded just like themselves. All the different elements were seamlessly included, which is basically hugely impressive.
My favorite line: They left Andy face-down on the table, quietly singing "Dancing Queen" along with the jukebox, and Karen racked up a game of pool while Jim watched. Oh, ANDY. Hilarious! That is so him.
Awesome job. This is brilliant.

Seriously, that's the part that surprised me. I was just like "an anthropology video about China? WTF??" and losing my mind for a while there, but then it all worked out. The more I've been putting these prompts together for other people, the more it feels like maybe this is how they write the actual show, sometimes. "Jim, Karen, and Andy, a squeaky chair and a one-hit wonder from the 90's, GO!"

"Thirty."
"Pff. Mine's bigger." She grins, flashing a look at him through her eyelashes.
"Wow. Karen Fillapelli with the penis size reference." Jim shakes his head. "I am learning so much tonight."
This made me laugh SO hard. Like I said, the whole thing is genius. The characterizations were amazing, Andy was perfect, Karen and Jim were sweet, and it was all brilliant.
I loved this line: Instead, Jim is at the bar with Andy, the wind-up doll who walks like a man, and Karen, who he's pretty sure still doesn't like him.
Ah, Stamford Jim.
The best part of all of it is that you can totally tell that you had a good time writing it. It's that kind of story. Awesome!

The thing with Jim's iPod and comparing sizes was originally intended for Andy, but by the time I got to that part of the story it occurred to me that Karen would totally do that, too, so BOOM.
I totally had a great time. The best thing, though, is now everyone else is doing it, too, so I get to read everyone's new stories while I rest up for my next round!
