Reading From Now On (3x163)

Air date: Jan 03, 2012

Oh, you like reading, do you? You like reading just the way it is now, you say? Well tough, because here’s how reading is gonna be FROM NOW ON. From now on, reading will only be done upside-down, see? And someone’s gonna drip flat Pepsi into your nose while you read, you get me? And we better not catch you reading outside of a derelict tire factory, because derelict tire factories are officially the ONLY places that reading will be tolerated from now on, okay, wise guy? And no more books, from now on you’re only gonna read the labels on your grandpa’s medicine, and if you complain, you’ll lose privileges to read anything except the letter “Q”, capische? Those rules have nothing to do with our new short, but we do believe in them and will enforce them aggressively. Reading From Now On is the tale of a young, comically illiterate boy who lives in the shadow of an older brother who arrogantly shoves his book-learnin’ in everyone’s face. Will our hero crumble under the sibling pressure, learn to read, or fake learning to read by memorizing the names of a few pictures and shouting them on demand? Who knows, but it’s probably the last one! Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for the classic revenge story, Reading From Now On!
