Formula for Date My Mom Episode


OPENING
Start off with the introduction of the boy. He's usually white, buff, and can be seen throwing a football. He explains what kind of girl he likes, usually nice body, no personality.

THE MOMS AND DAUGHTERS
The first pair introduces themselves. It's usually the more down to earth family, but not all the time. They can be the most boring pair. The mom is usually doing something stupid, like trying to act young and saying catch phrases that most teenagers wouldn't say in the first place. The daughter is usually doing something stupid or unearthly.

The second pair is usually plain out dirty... or at least they attempt to be. They dance with each other, dirty dancing by the way, and they just make mockeries of themselves.

The third pair is a hybrid of the first two.

THE MOM AND DAUGHTER TALK
They're usually sitting on the couch or they're in the back yard. They sit there talking about what to say to the date. The daughter tells the mom what she DOESN'T want her to say to the date, and she also tells her to look for body parts on the boy instead of any personality traits.

THE BELL RINGS/DOOR KNOCKS
From time to time, the mom and daughter can be in the backyard, and the date will softly knock on the door, and then they'll hear it somehow through the house, from the backyard.

THE DATES
The mom and date introduce themselves and then go on their date. Which is mainly just a pointless outing of mullet hunting and painting sculptures. From time to time the mom will say something, and the date will find a way to make it dirty and then those pop up videos will come on and he'll say something completely retarded like, "She has a lot of hair? We'll let's just hope it's up on the head, and not down where it's dead." Or, "Her daughter's pretty, slutty, or pretty slutty."

Sometimes the mom can get a little bit too close to the date, such as plain out kissing him on the lips, and then it can get extremely uncomfortable, yet they seem to have no problem with it at all. Or they can dance like they're in a club together. Grinding and basically acting like stereotypical teenagers.

After more pop up video jokes and double entendres, it's time to go home.

THE MOM AND DAUGHTER REUNITE
When the mom comes home the daughter is usually a little over excited to see her. She asks how the date went, and EVERY time, the mom says that she revealed the ONE thing that the daughter didn't want her to reveal. They usually explain how they told the date one of the daughter's embarrassing nicknames, and how their body looks.

After the mom explains that she basically made her daughter out to look like an unattractive, cheap, slut, the daughter says, "THANK YOU MOM, I THINK WE WON!" Or, "Do you think we won?" "Oh yes." Something to that effect.

THE PARKING LOT AT THE BEACH
Always at this beach, which is usually, ALWAYS empty... so much for reality. The boy is usually standing on some black parking lot while the camera dramatically swoops in and out while the wind is blowing like crazy. Insert punk rock group song here and you're set.

The mothers somehow come out of nowhere... walking in like they made the trip by foot, and then they hug the boy and say how much fun it was. Then the limo pulls up.

THE ELIMINATION
The boy speaks to the first two mothers saying how much fun he had on their date, but for some superficial reason he doesn't want to date their daughter. For instance, "Blowing up balloons was so much fun with you. And your daughter seems like a smokin' hot b*tch. But when you said that she had an IQ higher than a gold fish, I kind of freaked out. I don't want to date your daughter." After they're eliminated the mother usually says something like, "It's ok, you couldn't handle our sexiness anyway. Meet my gorgeous/beautiful/sexy/fantastic daughter <insert name here>."

When he does choose the daughter, the mother jumps around like a mad woman, and says, "You won't be sorry! Meet my gorgeous/beautiful/sexy/fantastic daughter <insert name here>."

HOW THE DAUGHTERS GET OUT OF THE LIMO
I made a section for this alone because it's the most interesting, corny, revealing, staged part of the show. The daughters always come out of the limo in the order at which they're eliminated. If it were realistic, they would come out in a random order at which they're seated in the limo. Which would mean that they would have to step all over each other to get out. Also, how can the daughters hear when they're inside of the limo? Would they have to look outside to see if their mom points her arm to the limo?

Oh yes, each time the girls come out of the limos, a punk rock song plays... the artists usually have those annoying nasal voices.

THE ENDING
The winning daughter comes out of the limo, and runs/walks up to the guy and kisses him. In a rare case of events, she will jump up on him and wrap her legs around him.

They show the losing daughters with their mothers and they usually make some stupid, poor insult on the guy. Such as, "Go back to ARKANSAS!!!" And the daughter will say to the mother, "It's ok, there are a lot more birds in the sky. And I'm going hunting *imitates gunshot*"

The mom, daughter, and guy run down to the beach in slow motion, all holding hands. But then the mom will let go! She'll stay back and wave, and the guy and daughter will wave back, while running.

The daughter then asks the guy, "What do you want to do?" And he'll reply, "I was thinking we should go to a club so I can see you shake that thang."

The whole ends with a punk rock song as the credits role.





And that my friends, is the formula for an episode of Date My Mom.

"I don't like so much freedom down there. It makes me tingly in my giblets."

reply

So true. I always think the exact same. especially about the limo.

reply

You said my words for me. ^_^

Big Brother: Who'll be next to go?

reply

brilliant

reply

wow, do yo work for MTV? lol, i noticed everything you said (especially the limo and how the mother/daughter can ALWAYS hear the guy wherever he knocks from). that was bloody brilliant.

reply

No, I don't work for MTV. I actually despise MTV... they're so shallow, but sometimes you get that, "It's so shallow, you need to watch it" feeling. So yeah, Date My Mom is just so painfully obvious, script wise, and it's been eating at me for the LONGEST time, so I had to type this formula out.

"I don't like so much freedom down there. It makes me tingly in my giblets."

reply

Yeah, I saw your Next episode formula. This and that were funny.

YOU ARE DEAD ON about the class level order to the girls. I was watching an episode when I read this, and I looked up at the beach scene, and the 2nd girl was super trashy, the third kinda trashy, and the first bland.

also if the guy isn't playing football, he is "playing" a guitar. sometimes both!

reply

oh and it looks like the 2nd episode that I am sadly watching is the same one you're talking about....mullet hunting......pretty slutty. its awful. but the political aspect was unusual. "not a whiny little liberal" almost made me gag.

i also noticed that the things that the daughter don't want her mom to say, are the things that the guy asks the mom


yeAh, but who's the bride?
-- you know it will always just be ME!

reply

Wow! You are sooooo cooool! I was just wondering where I could sign up for your fan club?

reply

LOL
That was great, thanks!
