Sequence 3

After much thought the boy thinks he is finally ready to watch some cartoons. In about five minutes he has duct taped two large pillows to his dad's head covering his ears. Even though the boy must have made a lot of rustling doing this his dad remained asleep. Finally the boy is able to sit down and enjoy some early morning cartoons.

Sequence 2

The Boy slowly goes to his knees to change the channel from the blaring football to a nice cartoon. When he changes the channel the television starts screaming the "Spongebob Squarepants" theme song. Very startled, the boy is blown back but quickly jumps foreword to turn the television off. Underneath the television the boy sees the volume knob and tries to turn it down. To the boys disappointment as soon as he begins to turn the knob pops right off. To his right he notices and old wooden knob belonging to an old piece of furniture. The boy examines the knob and decides that it might fit the volume control. He tries several times to put the knob on. The third time he almost knocked the whole television set right over but is able to make it stay. Seconds after the boys glory the knobs comically pops right off again.

Sequence 1

A middle aged man, slightly balding incessantly snores in his lazy boy recliner. In the corner a TV flashes illuminating the entire room. Then from behind the dad, a young sly boy cracks open the door just enough to show his face. A smirk appears on the boy's face when he sees that his dad is fast asleep. The boy slowly creeps along then pauses at his dad's recliner. He hesitantly taps his dad on the shoulder, and to his surprise the man makes an abrupt snore causing the boy to jump back in fear. Despite the loud snore his dad does not awake. The boy makes a quick pivot and continues towards the television. When he reaches the television he puts his hand on his hips like he had just accomplished a great feat. Before tending to the television the boy looks over his shoulder to check that his dad is still asleep.
