COMMERCIAL.
(Newscast music plays)
Text reads, veggie vote 2021.
Corn narrates, THERE’S ONLY ONE VEGGIE THAT’S
ACTUALLY FUN TO EAT.
ONE VEGGIE THAT IS BOTH HEALTHY
AND TASTY.
ONLY ONE YOU EAT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO AND
NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO AND THAT
VEGGIE IS CORN.
CORN DOESN'T
NEED TO BE THE BEST VEGETABLE
JUST YOUR FAVOURITE VEGETABLE.
IT'S THE MOST VERSATILE VEGGIE
IN THE GARDEN. IT CAN DO IT ALL
CORN ON THE COB? CORN.
POPCORN? CORN.
TACOS? CORN.
NACHOS, BREAKFAST CEREAL, JELLY BEANS, TOOT PASTE,
PLASTICS, CORN, CORN, CORN, CORN, CORN.
Corn kernels rain down.
Corn narrates, EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW YOU’RE
CHOOSING CORN, YOU’RE STILL
CHOOSING CORN.
IT'S THE UNSTOPPABLE, POPPABLE
CANDIDATE.
SO DO THE RIGHT THING,
KEEP CHOOSING CORN.
THE VEGETABLE THAT GROWS ABOVE
GROUND AND NOT IN THE DIRT.
Corn clears his throat.
He narrates, CARROT.
VOTE NOW.
VOTE CORN.
Yellow text reads, vote now, vote corn.
In the tree fort, Unshirley looks at corn.
Corn asks, THAT CLEAR THINGS UP FOR
YOU, MADAM?
Unshirley says, WOW.
YOU SEEM LIKE THE BEST VEGETABLE
EVER.
Corn says, HA HA!
GUILTY AS CHARGED!
NOW, NOW THAT YOU
KNOW ME A LITTLE BETTER, CAN I
COUNT ON YOUR VOTE?
Unshirley says, I GUESS.
BUT, WAIT,
THAT COMMERCIAL ONLY HAD NICE
THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU.
Corn says, YEAH, OF COURSE IT DID, I MADE IT.
WHY I WOULD SAY ANYTHING BAD
ABOUT MYSELF?
I’M TRYING TO WIN AN ELECTION
OVER HERE.
Unshirley says, WELL, THEN HOW CAN I TRUST
IT?
Corn says, FAIR POINT, CAT LADY.
WELL, I GUESS COULD YOU READ THE
NEWSPAPER ARTICLES ABOUT ME OR WATCH THE
NEWS FOR A BETTER IDEA OF,
WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE.
IN FACT, I DID AN INTERVIEW WITH
A HANDSOME FELLA NAMED STEVE
PAIKIN, JUST THE OTHER DAY.
TAKE A LOOK.
Unshirley says, REALLY?!
(Newscast music plays)
Text reads, veggie vote 2021. Tvo’s, The Agenda host Steve Paikin, shares a split screen with the veggie election candidate, Corn. Steve wears a suit and tie. Corn is in a garden. Text reads veggie candidate Corn, veggie vote 2021. The tvo logo is on the right, and The Agenda logo, a letter a, is on the left.
Steve says, CORN,
IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU.
THANKS FOR TAKING SOME TIME
OUT OF YOUR SCHEDULE
TO HAVE A CHAT WITH US HERE.
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO RUN
FOR MAYOR OF THE GARDEN?
Corn says, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION,
BECAUSE I THINK
FOR SO MANY YEARS,
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TAKING CORN
FOR GRANTED…
Steve nods.
Corn says, …AND OFTEN ENJOYING CORN
AND ALL THE BENEFITS
WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING.
IT'S TIME FOR CORN TO BE
RECOGNIZED AS THE BEST VEGETABLE
ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Steve says, AH,
I SEE, I SEE.
OKAY, AND SPEAKING
OF THE BEST,
WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES YOU THINK
YOU'RE THE BEST CANDIDATE?
Corn says, I'M SO GLAD
YOU ASKED.
YOU SEE, CORN HAS BEEN
A CRUCIAL COMPONENT
OF THE SUMMERTIME BARBECUE,
THE DEFINITIVE MOVIE SNACK,
A BREAKFAST CEREAL STAPLE,
AND NOW,
IT'S HELPING YOUR TOOTHPASTE
TASTE DELICIOUS,
AND EVEN POWERING ROCKETSHIPS.
Steve says, WOW. I DID NOT,
THAT'S QUITE INCREDIBLE.
Steve looks impressed.
He says, NOW, THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE
ANYTHING CORN CAN'T DO,
IS THAT RIGHT?
Corn laughs.
Corn says, A LITTLE LOUDER FOR
THE VEGETABLES IN THE DIRT,
PLEASE!
Steve smiles. Corn laughs.
Corn says, I KID,
I KID.
Steve says, YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE YOU'VE
MENTIONED THAT BEFORE.
NOW, CARROT'S GROWING
IN THE DIRT,
DO YOU THINK THAT COULD BE
A DISADVANTAGE TO THEM?
Corn says, I'M NOT SAYING IT'S
A DISADVANTAGE,
ALL I'M SAYING IS THERE ARE
VEGETABLES THAT GROW BELOW,
AND THERE ARE VEGETABLES
THAT GROW ABOVE.
AND CORN HAPPENS TO BE
A CUT ABOVE,
IN MY PERSONAL OPINION.
Steve says, AH, I SEE,
OKAY.
WELL, THANKS AGAIN
FOR STOPPING BY TO CHAT,
AND LOKING FORWARD TO TUNING IN
TO THE BIG VEGGIE DEBATE.
Corn says, THAT'S RIGHT,
TUNE IN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH
AT 4:30 PM

Corn says, I’M SENSING A "BUT" COMING.
Unshirley says, BUT, I THINK I SHOULD HEAR

COMMERCIAL.
(Newscast music plays)
Text reads, veggie vote 2021.
Corn narrates, THERE’S ONLY ONE VEGGIE THAT’S
ACTUALLY FUN TO EAT.
ONE VEGGIE THAT IS BOTH HEALTHY
AND TASTY.
ONLY ONE YOU EAT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO AND
NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO AND THAT
VEGGIE IS CORN.
CORN DOESN'T
NEED TO BE THE BEST VEGETABLE
JUST YOUR FAVOURITE VEGETABLE.
IT'S THE MOST VERSATILE VEGGIE
IN THE GARDEN. IT CAN DO IT ALL
CORN ON THE COB? CORN.
POPCORN? CORN.
TACOS? CORN.
NACHOS, BREAKFAST CEREAL, JELLY BEANS, TOOT PASTE,
PLASTICS, CORN, CORN, CORN, CORN, CORN.
Corn kernels rain down.
Corn narrates, EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW YOU’RE
CHOOSING CORN, YOU’RE STILL
CHOOSING CORN.
IT'S THE UNSTOPPABLE, POPPABLE
CANDIDATE.
SO DO THE RIGHT THING,
KEEP CHOOSING CORN.
THE VEGETABLE THAT GROWS ABOVE
GROUND AND NOT IN THE DIRT.
Corn clears his throat.
He narrates, CARROT.
VOTE NOW.
VOTE CORN.
Yellow text reads, vote now, vote corn.
In the tree fort, Unshirley looks at corn.
Corn asks, THAT CLEAR THINGS UP FOR
YOU, MADAM?
Unshirley says, WOW.
YOU SEEM LIKE THE BEST VEGETABLE
EVER.
Corn says, HA HA!
GUILTY AS CHARGED!
NOW, NOW THAT YOU
KNOW ME A LITTLE BETTER, CAN I
COUNT ON YOUR VOTE?
Unshirley says, I GUESS.
BUT, WAIT,
THAT COMMERCIAL ONLY HAD NICE
THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU.
Corn says, YEAH, OF COURSE IT DID, I MADE IT.
WHY I WOULD SAY ANYTHING BAD
ABOUT MYSELF?
I’M TRYING TO WIN AN ELECTION
OVER HERE.
Unshirley says, WELL, THEN HOW CAN I TRUST
IT?
Corn says, FAIR POINT, CAT LADY.
WELL, I GUESS COULD YOU READ THE
NEWSPAPER ARTICLES ABOUT ME OR WATCH THE
NEWS FOR A BETTER IDEA OF,
WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE.
IN FACT, I DID AN INTERVIEW WITH
A HANDSOME FELLA NAMED STEVE
PAIKIN, JUST THE OTHER DAY.
TAKE A LOOK.
Unshirley says, REALLY?!
(Newscast music plays)
Text reads, veggie vote 2021. Tvo’s, The Agenda host Steve Paikin, shares a split screen with the veggie election candidate, Corn. Steve wears a suit and tie. Corn is in a garden. Text reads veggie candidate Corn, veggie vote 2021. The tvo logo is on the right, and The Agenda logo, a letter a, is on the left.
Steve says, CORN,
IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU.
THANKS FOR TAKING SOME TIME
OUT OF YOUR SCHEDULE
TO HAVE A CHAT WITH US HERE.
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO RUN
FOR MAYOR OF THE GARDEN?
Corn says, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION,
BECAUSE I THINK
FOR SO MANY YEARS,
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TAKING CORN
FOR GRANTED…
Steve nods.
Corn says, …AND OFTEN ENJOYING CORN
AND ALL THE BENEFITS
WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING.
IT'S TIME FOR CORN TO BE
RECOGNIZED AS THE BEST VEGETABLE
ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Steve says, AH,
I SEE, I SEE.
OKAY, AND SPEAKING
OF THE BEST,
WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES YOU THINK
YOU'RE THE BEST CANDIDATE?
Corn says, I'M SO GLAD
YOU ASKED.
YOU SEE, CORN HAS BEEN
A CRUCIAL COMPONENT
OF THE SUMMERTIME BARBECUE,
THE DEFINITIVE MOVIE SNACK,
A BREAKFAST CEREAL STAPLE,
AND NOW,
IT'S HELPING YOUR TOOTHPASTE
TASTE DELICIOUS,
AND EVEN POWERING ROCKETSHIPS.
Steve says, WOW. I DID NOT,
THAT'S QUITE INCREDIBLE.
Steve looks impressed.
He says, NOW, THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE
ANYTHING CORN CAN'T DO,
IS THAT RIGHT?
Corn laughs.
Corn says, A LITTLE LOUDER FOR
THE VEGETABLES IN THE DIRT,
PLEASE!
Steve smiles. Corn laughs.
Corn says, I KID,
I KID.
Steve says, YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE YOU'VE
MENTIONED THAT BEFORE.
NOW, CARROT'S GROWING
IN THE DIRT,
DO YOU THINK THAT COULD BE
A DISADVANTAGE TO THEM?
Corn says, I'M NOT SAYING IT'S
A DISADVANTAGE,
ALL I'M SAYING IS THERE ARE
VEGETABLES THAT GROW BELOW,
AND THERE ARE VEGETABLES
THAT GROW ABOVE.
AND CORN HAPPENS TO BE
A CUT ABOVE,
IN MY PERSONAL OPINION.
Steve says, AH, I SEE,
OKAY.
WELL, THANKS AGAIN
FOR STOPPING BY TO CHAT,
AND LOKING FORWARD TO TUNING IN
TO THE BIG VEGGIE DEBATE.
Corn says, THAT'S RIGHT,
TUNE IN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH
AT 4:30 PM

DEALERSHIP AND MY DAD WORKS AT A
TRACTOR DEALERSHIP, TOO.
The boy stands beside tractor equipment.

SEPARATES IT SO THAT IT IS READY
TO BE USED.
The boy points to another piece of equipment.
He says, THIS IS A GRAIN BUGGY.
