Tv - The Croods

Grug froze. His stomach growled.

“…After one more segment,” he sighed, sitting back down with a bowl of cold gravel.

For three straight days, the Croods did nothing but watch. They stopped hunting. The fire went out. They just stared at the flickering box, watching their own exaggerated, chaotic, 22-minute adventures on loop.

Suddenly, a low WHOOOOSH echoed from outside. A strange, flat object had fallen from a rent in the sky. It was sleek, black, and had a faint, humming glow. On its back, in strange symbols, were the words: THE CROODS – SEASON 3 – STREAMING NOW.

“Gah! Sky demons!” Grug screamed, throwing a blanket over his own head.

“Behold!” Grug grunted, holding his massive hands in front of the fire. “The story of the Brave Mammoth Who Obeyed His Father and Did Not Lick the Glowing Blue Moss! ”

And so, the first family of the Stone Age discovered their favorite new pastime: watching themselves live a life far more interesting than their own. They became the first couch potatoes. And the last. Because tomorrow, that glowing rock was definitely going to be eaten by a giant sloth. Probably.
