See Dad Run (2012) s02e05 Episode Script

Emily, I don't understand.
Why did Matthew stop being your boyfriend? Is it because you won't stop eating chips? That must have been it.
Hey, guys.
If you don't mind, we're gonna put Marcus's treadmill down in the basement.
Yeah.
My wife is trying to lose weight.
Then shouldn't she be using that? She was using it as a conveyor belt to help the food get in her mouth faster.
Our baby hasn't moved.
Just one reality show after another.
Em, hon, how you doing? Chips are her new boyfriend.
Sweetie, I know you're hurting right now, but in time you'll get over this.
Matthew Pearson was your first boyfriend.
And there will be more.
Many, many, many, many, many more.
You know, that's a few too many "manys," okay? Look, Emily, you can't hold on to negativity because what it does is it starts eating your Are you kidding me? Is that fathead Ted McGinley with a new TV show? I can't stand that fathead.
It's McLivin' with the McGinleys.
McHosted by me, Larry Parsons.
Everyone at the soap is watching this.
It's the highest-rated reality show on TV.
It's actually pretty funny, Dad.
Really? Joe, you know what else is funny? Being grounded for saying Ted McGinley's funny.
Watch.
Ted knocks on the celebrity's door, and then he challenges them to survive living with him and his family for three whole days.
It's it's a hoot.
Or so I've been told.
And the whole time, they try to annoy you into giving up.
Hey, Emily, maybe that's what you did to Matthew.
Last week, Tony Danza's family didn't last one day of McLivin'.
Guess he found out who the boss really was.
Let's see who Ted challenges this week.
Is that our house? It is.
We're gonna be on the show.
Dad, are you gonna accept his challenge? Look, we all know how much America would love to have me back on television again, but there's nothing that that fathead could say to me that would make me do a reality show.
Hello, David.
Challenge accepted.
David, as much as I would love to be on a show that people actually watch, um We really need to think about Emily.
He's clucking at me like a chicken.
And it's a horrible chicken.
Come on, McGinley.
Acting 101.
Here's how you do a chicken.
Ready? Ready? Yeah.
Oh, really? Try this.
Folks, if this cluck-off is any indication, we are clearly in for a treat.

Let's see where it all began.
A tie between David Hobbs from See Dad Run and Ted McGinley from Ted plus ten.

There we go.
who knows how, who knows when? Before I even knew it, it was Ted plus ten.
That was torture.
And everybody knows Ted plus ten is really just a rip-off of the telenovela Diego plus Diez.
Except Diego didn't have a big, fat Cabeza.
Pfft! You know, it's no fun trying to annoy you if you don't speak.
Come on, Emily.
Get in the game.
Kids, bring down your laundry! Is it really your kids' laundry, or is it the laundry of your illegitimate, long-lost daughter who's marrying your one-legged stepfather? Making fun of my soap opera? Really? So childish.
But so dead-on.
That's our exact plot line for next week.
Aah! Aah! Would you two stop doing that? They're like aliens.
Or robots.
Whatever they are, they're freaking me out.
They're here, aren't they? Aah! Argh.
Janie, I'll tell you a secret.

Push the button, and we can all go home.
Fine.
Go back to being boring.
No wonder Matthew dumped you for Jessica Minnozzi.
Oh, no, he McDi'n't.
Jessica Minnozzi? I thought she knew about Jessica Minnozzi.
Jessica Minnozzi? She knew.
Everybody knew.
Jessica freaking Minnozzi? Welcome back, America.
If you're just joining us, you disappoint me.
All right, let's check back in with the Hobbs family, where Emily is fired up.
Okay, we need to beat the McGinleys at their own game.
They think they can be annoying? Well, we wrote the book on annoying.
Losing to them is not an option.
Not now.
Not ever.
So let's take that family of fat heads down! I've never loved you more than I do right now, Emily.
But, baby, you do need to shower.
That I do.
All right, now, first, Joe, you know how you act like a total dork when you have a crush on one of my friends? No.
Do that with the twins.
Oh, I see where you're going with this.
Okay.
All right.
Janie, come here.
Here's what I need you to do I need you to find any McGinley you can and rope them into one of your three-hour tea parties.
How's that annoying? I'll take Xander.
Mom, you're on Gigi.
Use all your irritating multiple personalities from the soap.
Ah, si, si, Rosario Desario's gonna drive Gigi loco, she will.
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi.
What about me? What do I do? Talk about your show for three hours.
Is this about the tea party comment? How's it feel? 'Sup, ladies? I know a lot of guys might be creeped out by your dead-eyed stare.
But I'm into it.
Come on.
Let's dance.
Get your freak on.
Woo! Mr.
McGinley, will you play tea party with me? Please? One lump or two, Teddy boy? Oh, hey, Emily.
You got dressed.
Listen, I'm really sorry about yest Hey.
It's all part of the game.
It would be like if I happened to mention the embarrassing thing that Ashley told Lindsay who told me you did with Jenna.
What thing? There's no thing.
I made it up.
Wait, hold on.
Was it the time when I Uh, when I No, it wasn't when you laughed so hard you farted in Jenna's car.
I own him.
Ooh, I see you're having lox with that bagel.
You know what, that reminds me of one of my favorite episodes, "see Dad get locked out and locked up.
" In that episode, I got arrested for trying to break into my own house.
It was a classic.
Fade in: David, sitting in his recliner, his feet up, the front door opens, in walks his wife Oh, hey, Ted.
Shaving, huh? Oh, you got me, Captain obvious.
Oh, ow! Oh, you nicked yourself.
You know, that reminds me of our Christmas episode, "see Dad save Christmas in the St.
Nick of time.
" In that episode, I dressed up like Santa Claus I knew Hobbs could drone on and on about See Dad Run, but this is ridiculous.
This reminds me of "see Dad testify," where I led the church gospel choir and had to testify! Hobbs, do you mind? I'm in the middle of my testimony here.
Fade in.
We see Dad reclining in a pew.
- All right.
That's it.
- From there he goes out I can't listen to this anymore.
I'm gonna have to call a McChallenge.
What's a McChallenge? Congratulations, Hobbs.
You are the first family ever to force a McChallenge.
Nikki, would you like to explain the McChallenge? That's right, Nikki.
Family members participate in head-to-head competitions.
The first family to win two out of three challenges wins it all.
So the chicken called a McChallenge.
Whatever you do, Janie, don't look them in the eye.
I can't help it.
Go! Pull! Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Point: McGinleys.
Yay! We lost, Janie.
No, we won.
It's not mud.
It's pudding.
Well, then, move over.
You're a McGinley.
Let's go, Xander.
Come on.
Stop laughing.
Just tell me what she said.
Fine.
But you don't want all of America to hear.
Whoa! Hobbs.
And we're tied 1-1.
The next round will decide the winner.
Yeah, not gonna happen.
Worth a shot.
Then the men shall decide the winner Sumo-style.
from Paris to L.
A.
From London to Bombay.
I'll romance you every day.
That's all I've got to say.
When I rock your world, ooh, girl.
I'm gonna rock your world.
Www-wait.
Something is missing, man.
Oh, laser lights.
Do it, girl.
Oh! Aah! This is for biting my calf.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right, everyone take five till the crew gets the power back on.
Nikki, let's cuddle for warmth.
Look at us, Ted.
What are we doing? Oh, I get it.
This is the part where you try to psych me out? No.
No, really, why Why would you ever agree to do a reality show? Same reason you did.
We both love the spotlight.
I mean, come on, David.
You can't tell me that you're really happy just being a stay-at-home Dad.
That's exactly what I'm telling you.
I mean, before you guys knocked on my door, I was perfectly content just being with my family.
Oh, you were you were being serious.
Well, then, do me a favor and throw the match.
No one has survived McLivin' with us, and I want to keep it that way.
Come on.
I need this show.
But my charity gets the money.
Deal.
And we're back.
Resume-o sumo.
Yaah! And the Hobbs win! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I meant what I said about my family, but I decided to make me happy.
Because, let's face it, I like me most of all.
Think I would have learned by now Don't mess with a Hobbs.
Now you're catching on.
Hey, thanks for getting me off the couch.
Well, if you ask me, Matthew was crazy to break up with you.
I told you doing this show was a good call.
Mm-hmm.
Emily's back to her old self, and I have a very good feeling that I'm never gonna have to deal with the McGinleys again.
Aw.
Fingers crossed.
Well, Ted, Gigi, thanks for stopping by.
Xander.
We're leaving.
Oh, by the way, David, I had a couple of the crew guys change your doorbell.
Enjoy.
Who knows how, who knows when.
Before I even knew it, it was Ted plus ten.
Hey, where are the twins?
