HOOPLA2020

This is the 18th episode of Hoopla's Fantastic Beach, and the 4th episode of season 2.
(Hoopla wakes up with a lightbulb above his head)
Hoopla: Hoopla! What’s this? 
Lightbulb: I am an elaborate figment of your imagination intended to represent an idea.
Hoopla: Okay then. What’s the idea?
Lightbulb: You should run for President this year. 
Hoopla: Hold on… didn’t I think of this yesterday?
Lightbulb: Yes, but then you thought up me.
Hoopla: I don’t like you. Hey if this is my imagination I can do whatever I want right? 
Lightbulb: HE FIGURED IT OUT. 
(The lightbulb vanishes)
Hoopla: Well, I should probably get to working on my election now. But first I need a sponsor…
(Cut to Hoopla knocking on Boopla’s door)
Boopla: Who is it?
Hoopla: Your dad.
Boopla: Hoopla I know it’s you, you can’t think of any original jokes.
Hoopla: Fine, you got me.
(Boopla opens the door)
Boopla: So...whatcha want?
Hoopla: Well me and Doclement went to the future then we got betrayed and then I went through dimensions and then I met back up with the Doc and then I got the idea to have an election to gather up all the armies in the world to blow up the aliens. 
Boopla: W-w..wha-WHAT?!
Hoopla: Yep! I’m such a Krazy Kool Kid.
Boopla: Are you feeling okay?
Hoopla: Yes!
Boopla: You sure? The stress of the world ending isn’t onto you yet?
Hoopla: I’m 99% sure!
Boopla: If that’s the case...you still haven’t told me what you want.
Hoopla: Well, you’re insanely famous from your rapping, correct?
Boopla: Yes...keep going…
Hoopla: If you could sponsor me, then I’d be rich and famous which would get me more people to vote HOOPLA2020!
Boopla: Would I be rich and famous too?
Hoopla; I thought you already were.
Boopla: You can't ever have enough money you know.
Hoopla: What if you filled an entire planet with just money?
Boopla: We’d all suffocate and die.
Hoopla: Nice.
Boopla: Well Hoopla, you gotta good plan going here. I’ll sponsor you-
Hoopla: Yay!
Boopla: But you must win...or else my boss will sue you in Hell.
Hoopla: HAHAHA, I get it, it’s like “see you in hell” but it’s sue instead! Funny joke.
Boopla: I’m serious he will literally sue you in Hell.
Hoopla: Oh. Well then I’m off to start working on my election! First, I’ll need to create a diagram.
Boopla: Diagram of what? How we're gonna save the world or the election?
Hoopla: Why not both?
Boopla: Ok then.
(10 minutes later)
Hoopla: This here is the likelihood of the world ending tomorrow.
Boopla: Yikes.
Hoopla: And this here is the current standings of the upcoming election. As you can see, there are two other candidates running for president besides me: Mike Bay and Ronald Hump.
Boopla: Those names sound funny, and familiar.
Hoopla: Ignore the names please. Now as you can see, Bay is currently 0.1% ahead of Hump. And when I run for president, I'll be 100% ahead of both of them.
Boopla: That's very unrealistic.
Hoopla: Okay, diagrams done. Now for posters. You have photoshop, right?
Boopla: I pirated it.
Hoopla: Even better. Let's get to making those posters.
(One hour later)
Hoopla: And they're done.
Boopla: But- These are just knock-off movie posters with HOOPLA2020 slapped on them!
Hoopla: And that’s why it’ll work. People don’t want other people stealing their work, so they’ll send their fanbase after me, which will make more people see my campaign!
Boopla: I guess?
Hoopla: Oops, forgot the missing touch. (Types “Copyright 2020 Hoopla Productions on the poster”) This'll really get them going.
Boopla: Hoopla, you sure this will work? I’m just saying, it’s risky.
Hoopla: Boopla, calm down. In times like this, they'll surely flock to me.
Boopla: If you insist.
(A few days later - Election Day)
Boopla: What do you mean you forgot to announce your campaign?
Hoopla: Don’t worry it’ll be fine. The posters have done the work for us.
Boopla: I sure hope so.
(At a random voting booth)
Citizen: Hmm, who should I vote for? Both of these candidates suck barnacles.
Hoopla: (appearing out of nowhere) Vote for me! I’m on there.
Citizen: Hey, no you’re not- (his name suddenly appears on the ballot) Dang I’m blind. (votes for Hoopla)
Citizen 2: What’s so good about Hoopla anyway? We don’t even know who he is.
Citizen 3: I saw HOOPLA2020 on an Avengers Endgame poster. It’s kinda funny.
Citizen 4: I did too. And I worked on that movie, I’m suing!
Citizen 5: I’m tired, I just wanna vote for someone who can fix this town.
Hoopla: That’s what I’m trying to do here.
Citizen 5: (yawns) Really? Then I’m voting for you now. (falls asleep on Citizen 2)
Citizen 2: Aw, come on. Not this again!
Citizen 4: ...Again?
Election manager: Okay, what’s going on here?
Citizen 4: I’m suing this fool who thinks he’s running for president! He’ll never win! He stole the Endgame poster I made myself!
Hoopla: Hey before you do that, you should hear my slogan! HOOPLAHOOPLAHOOPLA!
Citizen 4: What- This is insane! That doesn’t make any sense!
Hoopla: Too bad, deal with it.
Citizen 4: UGH!
Election manager: Okay okay everyone, settle down. Due to all this commotion over our new candidate, the election will be delayed by a week.
(Everyone leaves, including Hoopla, who is relieved by the delay)
Election manager: Pssst, Hoopla.
Hoopla: Huh?
Election manager: You got my vote.
Hoopla: o. (leaves along with the crowd)
(At home)
Boopla: How’d it go?
Hoopla: Far better than I expected. I caused a commotion and election day was delayed by a whole week.
TV: Breaking news! Election day has been postponed until next week due to a new candidate appearing out of nowhere. His name? Hoopla.
Boopla: That’s you!
Hoopla: I know. I thought I’d lose in a heartbeat!
Boopla: You know what this means.
Hoopla: Time to write my big speech.
Boopla: Before that.
Hoopla: Drink Dr. Kelp until we pass out?
Boopla: Yes.
(They do exactly that, and the episode ends with the TV playing a commercial against Hoopla’s campaign)
