Good Morning Storybrooke

Just for a bit of fun, I decided to review this 12 minute special from the season 2 DVD written by Jane Espenson! Obviously, it's a parody of Good Morning America (which I have never seen since I'm British) with Goldie Locksley (played by Yvette Nicole Brown) & hosting it along Hart Archer with Boyd Scaremonger from The Boy Who Cried Wolf  doing Wolf Watch (played by Jane's writing partner for the series Husbands, Brad Bell) We also see the return of Astrid (still as annoying & stupid as ever) & the official break up between her & Leroy, Dr Whale giving terrible romantic advice for Jill from Jack & Jill, one of the pigs from the Three Little Pigs now turned human, Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid (obviously before 3x06 & 3x10 so it's not canon), Belle giving her views on Western literature despite only reading half of each book & therefore not knowing spoilers everyone else knows & Boyd being killed during Wolf Watch!
Like I mentioned before, the fact that this entire 12 minute special is intentionally cheesy makes this so hilarious to watch! It feels kinda refreshing considering the serious tone of the show to see something a bit more lighthearted (not like something like Dreamy). Yvette Nicole Brown as Goldie Locksley was fun to watch & it'd be funny if she joined the show (which she could since Ursula coming into 4B has now been recast), but even as a one-off, she was still hilarious to watch! As for the advertisements, they are both so hilarious! Ruby's with the intentionally bad acting making me laugh along with the cruddy quality along with starting the avocado meme. As for Gold's ad for his shop, I couldn't stop laughing the whole way through. I don't know whether it's the intentionally cheesy yet threatening lines or the fact Robert makes him sound like a used car salesman throughout in his narration, but the fact there was an ad for his shop in the first place is just so funny (along with the fact he unintentionally took a selfie when taking a photo of the shop window) Dr Whale's Bedside Manner was so so funny with all the bad dating advice even if it's clear it's not canon with Eric's case & yeah, seems Gold has been following the living a life out of lies advice recently! As for Belle's views on books that she's only read half of, I loved seeing her & the fact she was clueless about the endings & being annoyed at being given spoilers was just so funny! Sad she was interrupted, but still really enjoyed seeing a character from the main cast in this (besides Gold narrating his commercial)! This was so funny to watch & I highly recommend watching it if you haven't yet already!
Ugh...
*Sighs* So nice to see Belle!
HAHA!
HAHA!
Haha! Nice puns on their names!
I wish he came into the show...I like him!
'You won the contest?' 'Well, I did enter 611 times!' OK, that was pretty funny! 
I don't feel sorry for you Astrid! You had the perfect opportunity to be with him & you ruined it with a pathetic excuse!
HAHA! 'Pretty scary. I think Boyd's gonna die out there!'
GOD, you're a terrible actor Ruby! HAHAHA! 'Sometimes we have avocados. Ask if we have avocados!'
SO MANY LOST REFERENCES!!!
HAHAHA! 'SOMETHING JUST MOVED!' 'Boyd?' 'No, it was just the breeze!'
HAHAHAHA! 'It's time for bedside manner, where the MD stands for 'Mmm, darling!'
HAHAHA! 'Ah, Jill, you are in what we call the friendzone and you need a game changer so, I'd head down to Mr Gold's shop and take out a nice little gift, a pretty little box or something, and have Mr Gold rip our your heart & put it in said box. Give the box to Jack. It's called a Living Valentine! Trust me. He will notice you!'
'My advice is don't tell her! If she asks who you were, uh lie, say you were a knight. If you lived in a house out of straw, you can live a life out of lies!' Worst. Dating advice. Ever.
'My advice is throw her back. If you're a leg man, she's not the one for you. It might seem cruel, but she'll find someone else. There's plenty of lonely guys out there looking for a nice piece of tail.' Definitely not canon since Ariel & Eric got together after the first curse!
HAHAHAHA! 'Have you been inside since you remembered who you are? You might be surprised to discover I have your life! From the glinting baubles hanging over your crib as a babe, to the terrifying people puppets that your parents were transformed into.'
Not so sure free parking is gonna make people wanna come, Gold!
HAHAHAHA! 'Here you will find every sword you've ever drawn, the mummifed bodies of every frog you ever kissed! If you lived it, I have it! And be sure to ask about my specials on poisons & curses! If you don't buy them, your neighbours might! And is that really a chance you want to take?'
HAHAHA!
Haha! 'I think she's on track for a happy ending!' 'Haha! 'On track!' right, cos she throws herself in front of a train.' *death stare* 'You didn't know!'
'Young love never fails!' 'It can. Because of poison! They die, girl! Uh...you do know it's explicitly said at the beginning they die Belle?
HAHA! 'Well, The Bell Jar!' 'Don't even ask!' 'Ethan Frome. They go sledding!' 'Sledding accident?' 'Sledding accident?' Love her face at the last one! Oh yeah & LOVING her hair!
OK, I'm not even gonna go into what happens in the end of Of Mice & Men...
RIP Boyd...
'We'll have to check back in the next hour after that new apple turnover recipe from the mayor!' DON'T IT'LL KILL YOU!
