You join us at a very crucial point in the Cluedo
championship final. Our four competitors
have gone through three intense rounds so far and yet, no one seems to be any
closer to discovering whodunit. Surely
the game will be decided in this next vital round.
The players all take a sip of water, and the game is
underway again. First up is Julian, a
Cluedo verteran from back when the 2nd editions were still being
published. Let’s take a look at his
stats:
Name: Julian
Kenworthy
Age: 53
Games Won: 209
Games Lost: 14
Shoe Size: 10
Prostate: Active
On paper, he is definitely the favourite in this
competition. That’s right. The crowd are waiting with baited breath for
Julian’s next move. We’re all expecting
great things from him.
Julian: “It was
Professor Plum with the knife in the kitchen.”
If he's a professor, where's his lab coat? |
Oh and that’s a terrible mistake. Julian has obviously forgotten that Professor
Plum was already played in the first round, and as we can see, Kyle has raised
his hand to claim the purple Prof as being in his hand. The pressure must have gotten to Julian. He doesn't look happy with that. He’s thrown the towel from around his neck at
the referee. That’s unsporting. He’s demanding another go; apparently he
meant to say Reverend Green but got him confused with the famous rapper,
Professor Green.
While we wait on the judge’s decision, let’s look over
some the highlights so far. Yes, here we
see Julian kicking over his chair when a member of the audience coughed. That spectator was promptly thrown out for
distracting the players. Let’s hope we
don’t run into any more trouble causers like that.
Back to the action, and it appears that Julian’s appeal his
been denied. Rightly so in this
commentator’s opinion. These athletes
get paid far too much to make such elementary mistakes.
Next up is this competition’s wild card, Brian
Furniss. Brian is relatively unknown in
the Cluedo world, this being his first ever competitive Cluedo tournament. He stormed the semi-finals without even
breaking a sweat, and he looks quite the cool customer so far. Let’s see what kind of move he’s going to
play here.
Brian: “I choose
Mrs Bun the Baker’s Wife, on B9, with this double-six domino.”
...Well...that’s left everyone utterly speechless! Someone get me a rulebook! Such a move has never been played in the entire
history of the sport. This could bring
the game into disrepute. Everyone
is looking towards the referee for an answer, but he’s just shrugging his
shoulders. The crowd are getting
restless. Several audience members
appear to have passed out in shock. Oh
the humanity!
The referee seems to be getting some kind of communication through his earpiece. This will be the official decision. It stands! The move stands! And the crowd go wild! Since there's nothing against it in the rulebook, the officials have had to validate the move. Brian wins!

A vortex appears to be opening up beneath the player’s
feet. I can’t...I can’t describe what I’m
seeing. It’s almost as if this audacious
move has broken the very fabric of reality.
My face has been sucked clean off!
Is this the end of days? Let it
be known that I regret nothing!
- And this, my friends, is why Cluedo is considered to be
the most extreme sport there has ever been.
I've never considered the dangers of Cluedo before. I've only ever played one game of it. With real people anyway. So, I'm glad that I've never fractured reality with it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how they get away with selling it in stores. It should be banned outright.
DeleteI would watch this. It has to be better than Dressage. Why would a professor wear a lab coat? Maybe he's an English professor, in which case, where is his corduroy jacket with elbow patches and where is his pipe? I hate when you make a bold move and it rips apart the fabric of reality.
ReplyDeleteReal professors always wear lab coats. Take Professor Oak for instance. The only exception to this rule is professor Brian Cox.
DeleteAbsolutely hilarious post! I remember this match, too. My television grew legs and walked off, and Bush was elected President of the United States. It was definitely an odd occurance to say the least. Thank God the US has blocked the broadcast of this tournament in recent years.
ReplyDeleteThe tournament has to be held in Limbo nowadays, to prevent further damage to the continuum.
DeleteVery interesting. I think I'll stick to Solitaire.
ReplyDeleteI'd be careful if I were you. I've seen a man get sliced in half by a particularly sharp playing card. I've also known a game of Twister to transport people to the centre of the sun, so you've got to be responsible whatever you play.
DeleteYou certainly are the most dedicated commentator I've ever met. Everyone else would be screaming and running away if their faces were being sucked off but no, you stood your ground and kept commentating.
ReplyDeleteI do it for the fans. They are my only sustenance.
DeleteI have returned from the school trip to the centre of the Earth and all I can add (no pun intended) is, The Reverend Green with the Dagger in the Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Enough said I think.
ReplyDeleteAnother case cracked! As soon as reality repairs itself, I'll declare you the overall winner.
