(Rikudo Koshi in a kitchen, dressed as a chef, painstakingly decorating a cake.)
Voiceover: I, Rikudo Koshi, give my permission to turn Excel Saga into a cooking show.
…don’t have the energy to do a full parody right now, but the gist of my idea is that Excel and Hyatt join a cooking show as part of Ilpalazzo’s latest attempt to take over F city. While Excel destroys the set trying to chase down Menchi, the emergency food supply, Hyatt dies repeately puzzling over how to get the secret ingredient, pickles, out of its jar.

Meanwhile, again, Pedro, the down on his luck immigrant worker with a sexy wife and cute kid, flees in abject terror from the Great Will of Universe, who only wants him for his body. He fails when he trips on the (same) jar of pickles, letting out a plaintive “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~!” for all the world to see.
Back at the (now completely trashed) studio, Excel and Hyatt are finally kicked out for their actions. Down the hall, the Department of Security members are trying to sneak into the studio per Kabapu’s orders, but are spoiled comically by the departing Excel, Hyatt, and (same) jar of pickles.
The (same) jar of pickles then has a dramatic confrontation with Ilpalazzo, but he simply drops it down the Pit of Doom.

My first SMDB groupie. Should I be flattered or worried?
(But I still can’t figure out which awesome thing you’re worshipping me for in the other thread. Is it my knowledge of random video game trivia that happened to be useful? And my mom said that it was a waste of my life. )
