And we would do anything for a record deal.

- Anything.
Anything.
- Now is the sex part.
- Mm, boring.
I just don't think I get porn.
Oh, I get it.
I just don't think they make it for me, you know? If they did, it would be 15 minutes of hand-holding and 15 minutes of him telling me how pretty I am.
- Oh, so you're in this.
Okay.
- Yeah.
Then 15 minutes of him - going down on me, obviously.
- Mm-hmm.
Then 42 minutes of him massaging me while I watch Procedure.
You know, I think my porn would be really different, too.
Apples, they're my favorite fruit.
Apples, they taste very good.
Apples, they're my favorite - Oh! They're gonna sing.
- Ooh! Okay.
- Hey, I'm Garfinger.
- And I'm Butts.
And we'd like to play you a little song about self-confidence.
Where's my confidence? Where's my trust in me? All this pressure is gonna bust in me.
Find the strength inside, my heart is open wide.
It's time to bring out what's inside.

Wait, is that the video you sent to Hardwick? I don't know.
Let me check.
Oh, my God, it is.
And he tweeted about it.
He did? - Oh, my God! - What? Well, that's only 99 million more views than we've ever gotten.
What's gonna happen next? Boy, did you guys come on the right day.
Very exciting things happening here for Wesker-Wynn.
- Oh, really? - Oh, absolutely.
Well, as you probably know, here at Wesker-Wynn, we focus on global pro-synergy.
We're all about intuitive solutions incorporating bleeding-edge haptics in push data.
Oh, you know, emergent cyber-architecture.
Uh, trans-opportunistic revenue streams.
Uh, well, it's like Oh, Susie, Susie.
Susie's got a way with words.
How would you describe what we do here? Well, we set the industry standards for cashless tri-meta transactions.
And aggressive bifurcation.
Oh, we're also leading the mimeosphere in dichrombic gliss.

I've, uh, made some suggestions about areas you might mine for laughs.
Just add comedy, right? Shouldn't be a problem for you funny gals.
It's so loud.
Oh, God, why hasn't there been any advancement in ironing-board design? You know, opening an ironing board is my least-favorite part of touring.
Okay, what rhymes with "Jackie Botts has a shiny face"? I don't know.
Doesn't that sound kind of mean? Yeah, I think it's supposed to be a roast.

Good evening, Wesker-Wynn Corporation.
Sorry we're a little bit late.
We had trouble finding parking because apparently Ed Fortenberry's S.
U.
V.
needs two whole parking spaces.
Okay, I have to ask Who here is a smoker? Who let you guys out of your chain-link cage by the dumpster? Okay, so we're gonna do a song about some people who might sound familiar.
Wesker-Wynn is a great place to work.
That is, if you like lunatics.
No joke, this place is filled with weirdos, and at least one embezzler in the mix.
I'm talking to you, Phil Taylor in marketing.
Hands off the petty cash, sticky fingers.
Then there's boozy Susie in accounting.
She starts every day with a case of beer.
And don't get me started on Sam Altman.
He's slept with every secretary here.
And the boss has hardly been to work at all.
Since he met his boyfriend, Paul.
Since he met his boyfriend, Paul.
Jackie Botts has a shiny I'm functional, okay?! Please don't send me back to Rancho Mirage.

And I have had it with this death farm! I quit! Good luck getting paid.
- Thank you, everyone.
- Good night, everyone.
Have a great banquet.
I am so tired, I don't even know what we just wrote.

Oh, and Kate called it.
He has a normal-colored penis.
- Mm-hmm.
Sure does.
- Cool.
Thank you, guys, again, so much for that intro.
We have made so much money.
Who knew you could make more money doing comedy than you can doing porn?! - Who k-new? Listen, you guys, we would love to return the favor.
Actually, you know, we have really figured out this whole comedy-songwriting thing, so if you guys need, like, any pointers at all, we are your girls.
- I mean, I think we're good.
Thanks.
- Uh, yeah, thank you, anyway.
So you guys know the formula? You start with a risque premise Dirty, but not too dirty.
Mm-hmm, then you craft your chorus with your strongest joke, then you throw in a smart reference.
Yeah, something like, "I miss more periods than William Faulkner.
" Oh, that's good.
And then for your close, you repeat your funniest line.
So, is that Is that what you guys do, too? Yep.
That's how we do it.
- Pretty much exactly.
- Oh, cool.
Wow.
Cool.
So you must not have had any problem with the Schubert and Sockley song, huh? - Well, no.
- No.
None at all.
It took us like two minutes.
Ready? Listen to this.
Come on, Schubert, come on, Sockley.
I've missed more periods than William Faulkner.
Come on, boys, come on, girls.
Come on, kids, come on, kids.
Come on, kids, come on, kids.
Come on, kids, come on, kids.
Come on, kids, come on, kids.
Garfinger & Butts? - That's us! That's us! - Oh! Here we go! - Thanks a lot! - Good luck to you guys! - Ohh! Bye! - Bye.
- We need to get this job.
- Yeah.
How do they make their voices sound like a creaky door in a haunted house? I don't know.
Amazing meeting you guys! That was so fun.
More like a hang sesh.
Bowling soon! Oh, my God, you are so cute.
Bye.
Good luck.
See you.
Good to see you.
Rooting for you! You were amazing.
Hi.
Hey, welcome to the Wee Ones Television Laboratory.
Thank you.
We're Garfunkel & Oates.
Oh, like, uh, Garfinger & Butts.
Yeah.
Kind of.
Did you know they were porn stars? - Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
So inspiring.
Oh, Gil Gilliamson.
He's such a genius.
That's really a bummer he's in jail.
Yeah, it doesn't matter if you revolutionize children's television, if you run over a couple of German tourists, they're still gonna throw the book at you.
- Yeah.
- Mm.
Well, I just want to say Pumpernickel Place is my favorite show.
As a kid? No.
It's always been a part of my life.
It taught me how to count and read and to care and share and and love.
Oh, uh, sorry.
I was I was ordering cigarettes online.
If you order enough of them, you get a couple bucks off, just F.
Y.
I.
Uh, um, what were you saying Something about sharing? Um, well, we were just saying that, uh, we think it's so great that you're taking such an enlightened stance on gay marriage.
Well, as the agenda says, turn them while they're young.
- Hmm? - What? Uh, nothing.
I said nothing.
Let's hear what you got.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Ready? - Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Just after the storm breaks, with the perfect amount of light, you can catch a glimpse of magic, if the timing is right.
Rainbows are improbable, beautiful, and rare.
But so are you and so is this.
The love that we share, too vast to hold and too small to name.
It's no wonder why you have to stand between the rain and the sun, to see a rainbow in the sky.
All the things that had to go right, all the things that had to go wrong.
It led us to the place where we were going all along.
Right now they fall away.
Right now it's just us two.
Right now we make a promise.
If you do, then I do, too.
Don't know how we found it, but we did somehow.
All the moments of our lives were leading up to now.
I used to feel uncertain, but now I realize, when I want to see my future, I just look into your eyes.
Too vast to hold and too small to name.
It's no wonder why you have to stand between the rain and the sun, to see a rainbow in the sky.
All the things that make you you.
All the things that make me me.
That led us to the place where were always meant to be.
Right now they fall away.
Right now it's just us two.
Right now we make a promise.
If you do, then I do, too.
A rainbow doesn't choose to be a rainbow.
It just shines in the sky.
And there's nothing to debate, and there's nothing to deny.
Love might be a privilege, but marriage is a right.
So to all of you detractors who don't know you lost the fight, to all of you in darkness, we're here turning on the light.
Now I stand with you for the world to see.
My love, my dreams, and me.
My love, my dreams, and me.
Right now they fall away.
Right now it's just us two.
Right now we make a promise.
If you do, then I do, too.
- Hey, how's it looking? - Good.
People on Twitter seem to like - the "Rainbow Connection" song.
- Oh, that's good.
Oh, except the people who want to murder us while we make them sandwiches.
Hmm.
God, a lot of people want us to make them sandwiches.
Well, it's nice they think we can cook.
Yeah.
You know, it just occurred to me Are we even allowed to use the name "Rainbow Connection"? I always wondered if we were allowed to use the name "Garfunkel & Oates.
" Too late now.
Mm.
Hey, Boomer.
Yeah, it's the Cooch.
The brown one.
Okay.
Really?! Yeah, I'll tell her.
- Thanks.
Bye.
- What? We just got asked to open for Chevrolet and Epiphany.
- Ew! No! - No, no, no.
Hear me out.
It's for a lot of money.
- No.
- Like, way more than we usually make.
Kate, we can't open for our own knock-off.
- No, no.
- That's like Paul McCartney opening for a Beatles cover band.
Oh, yeah, we are exactly like the Beatles.
No, come on.
It's for, like, a lot of money.
Mnh-mnh.
- Maybe? - No.
- Come on.
- No.
- Maybe? - No.
- Maybe? - No.
- Maybe? - No.
- Maybe? - No.
- Maybe? - No.
Maybe? - Maybe? - No.
- Maybe? - No.
- Maybe? - No.
- Maybe? - No.
- Maybe? - How much money? A lot of money.
No.
