I’ve probably seen the “Current Condition” portion of the fantastic “Toast Kaizen” DVD (from GBMP) more than a hundred times over the past seven years.
At the end, when Bruce learns that his wife wanted raisin toast (when he made white toast), I always thought a sound effect was missing… or the sound would play in my head. I finally, through the power of iMovie, added the appropriate comical sound effects… the losing music from The Price is Right with a variation of a “sad trombone” sound effect.
Maybe this is the beginning of a burgeoning Toast Kaizen industry that could include:
- Alternative “director’s cut” endings
- Fan fiction novels (ala Star Trek and other properties) — what’s the backstory to Toast and the characters?
