Weekend Fun: How “Toast Kaizen” Should Have Ended

I've probably seen the “Current Condition” portion of the fantastic “Toast Kaizen” DVD  (from GBMP) more than a hundred times over the past seven years.

At the end, when Bruce learns that his wife wants raisin toast (when he makes white toast), I always thought a sound effect was missing, or the sound would play in my head. Finally, through the power of iMovie, I added the appropriate comical sound effects: the losing music from The Price is Right with a variation of a “sad trombone” sound effect.

Maybe this is the beginning of a burgeoning Toast Kaizen industry that could include:

• Alternative “director's cut” endings
• Fan fiction novels (ala Star Trek and other properties) — what's the backstory to Toast and the characters?
