Rude Awakening

The 20th Century Studios Intro Bloopers Series: Episode Guide

### Overview

Rude Awakening is the second episode of 20th Century Studios Intro Bloopers. The first episode gained quite a positive reputation since it first aired. Fifteen days after the debut, a sequel was inevitable. The second episode had a slightly longer runtime and included more scenes than before. This episode, along with The Madness Begins, Out of Order, and Fiddlesticks!, were remastered exactly three years after the premiere episode aired, on July 24th, 2019. These first four episodes were compiled together as a special mini-movie called "The Orderly Madness Awakens, Fiddlesticks!" with more scenes and an extended beginning based on a scene in the forty-fourth episode of TCSIB, titled "Careful Who You Track Down!", where Steve appeared with a humongous afro. This episode is the first to have actual footage of 20th Century FOX intros because of Blender remakes not being on the rise at the time.

### Plot

At Zachman Awesomeness Studios, the 20th Century FOX intro is all set up, ready to be cued again. Zachman TV looks on as the bloopers resume with the first blooper depicting the logo being given a blue tint. Steve comments that today was a rainy day and laughs.

The second blooper then shows the logo being extremely bright, which caused Zachman's eyes to turn yellow and puff out smoke. Zachman's eyes were on fire for the first time!

The third blooper reads "20th Car FOX". Zachman claims that Carfax has not celebrated twenty years yet. This case is now false, as Carfax was founded in 1984 and has almost reached 40 consecutive years of operation.

The fourth blooper starts out with the logo being fully right, but just before the fanfare ends, Cleric emerges from the "2" and plans to eat a searchlight, which causes Zachman to throw a tantrum. Steve shows concern for his father and plans to get the pest out of the structure and accidentally uses something modern, causing the 2013 version of the TCF logo to play. Zachman asks Steve to fix it, but the 1994 version of the TCF intro plays instead, using the fanfare from The Peanuts Movie and a byline "CLOSE ENOUGH". Zachman throws his second tantrum in a row as a result of this outcome.

Steve then breaks the fourth wall for a moment to announce that the next blooper will be loud, so he introduces the idea of a Volume Warning Sequence to the viewers. The first graphic that makes up the sequence is shown: A yellow triangle with a red exclamation mark with "Turn Down Your Volume" written under it. The first time this appears is just a test. When it appears again, it wasn't a drill, as the next blooper depicts the logo with all of the colors inverted with the audio in G-Major. This caused Zachman to detach his eyes as they turn red and proceeds to cover his ears, screaming in agony. He throws his third tantrum shortly afterward.

The last blooper then comes forward, reading "20th Sticky FOX". Zachman declares the episode to be done and it ends.
