Thundarr the Barbarian Parody

One of the fantasy sci-fi cartoons that got me into thinking about role-playing in futuristic apocalyptic worlds was Thundarr the Barbarian. Well, it was a silly show, but I liked it. So, I wrote this short parody of an episode where Thundarr loses his sun sword...



Thundarr loses his sun sword


[Thundarr is sulking. He curses the wizards!]


Ariel: What's the matter, Thundarr?

Thundarr: Those wizards stole my sun sword!

[Ugla cannot help his friend. Feeling useless, he goes over to urinate in a dayglo toxic river]

Ariel: There, there. [patting her companion on the shoulder].

Thundarr: It's no use, Ariel! Without my sun sword I'm useless!

Ariel: That's true, but...

Thundarr: Curse those evil wizards! [sobbing]

Ariel: Oh, don't be such a baby!

[Thundarr looks up from his hands, and stands up]

Thundarr: I'm not a baby! I'm a barbarian!

Ariel: Hey, I know... we can play with your other sword. If you like?

Thundarr: I don't have any other sword, Ariel! And swords are not for playing!

Ariel: Oh, you're such a blonde! Must I spell it out for you? Listen. I'll just sharpen your sword. And if you don't like it, then fuck you!

[Ariel gets on her knees]

Ugla: Arrrarrrrarrhrarrh! [urinating in toxic river, turns to see Ariel before Thundarr]

Thundarr: Lords of light!!!

Ariel: See? I told you you'd feel better.

Thundarr: No, Ariel! Look! Ugla's sword is nearly as big as my leg!

Ariel: Yeah, tell me about--Hey! Watch where you swing tha--

Thundarr: Hoooooo!!!
