How stupid concepts get sold...

5 Tips on how to pitch TF2:

1). There's only one name "star" in the thing and he's paid no more than the equivalent of a Ford F250 (at invoice, and no Lariat XLT stuff), because you know the producer has a brother in law working the rack at a Ford dealership in Fresno.

2). Star is allowed few demands: A Velveeta platter on the buffet table, for example.

3). Concept must have potential for product endorsements: Have the Tooth Fairy wear Cabella's ballcaps. Instead of leaving cash under the pillow, use Beer Nuts. If the Beer Nuts people won't bite, make them Reeses Pieces. There's also plenty of film left over to showcase diabetic testing supplies... perhaps Cabella's is interested in a cammo adult diaper product line? Eh? Eh??

4). Do your homework. Powerpoint demonstration showing your obese slovenly star's Q-score appeal in all those stupid red states... can't afford that? Flip charts and a Sharpie...

5). Drop hints to the producer that you have incriminating photos of dead hookers or live boys (often requires a poker face and photoshop skills).
