The scene
A superhero roll-call for four heroes with almost no powers. A narrator introduces the Quickster, who can run quick; Captain Magma, who erupts when angry; the Elastic Waistband, who can stretch into fantastic shapes; and Miss Appear, who turns invisible. Nine of the fourteen lines are the narrator's; each hero gets one or two.
The joke is that every hero undercuts their own introduction. The Quickster immediately asks if you want to see him do it again. The Elastic Waistband's fantastic shapes amount to finally touching his toes. Miss Appear, invisible, asks whether the outfit makes her look fat. Forty-four seconds, and it signs off as a subsidiary of Viacom.

Performing it
The narrator is the whole pack and wants full trailer voice — grand, unbroken, no winking at the audience, because the heroes do the undercutting. Leave a real beat before each name. The hero lines are best split around a room, since each is one small deflation and they land harder in different voices. The last line is a legal disclaimer read in the same heroic register as everything else; play it completely straight.
The dialogue is muted and everything else stays — the score, the room, the picture. You record each line over the silence and the scene plays back with you in the cast. How a dub is made · what the score measures.
