Tiger by the Tailgate

About “Tiger by the Tailgate”

Larry and Sally hike a sunlit jungle trail in full safari kit and come back with a third guest for the cookout: a tiger. Beers in hand, sausage and peppers on the grill, and the biggest cat in the jungle leaning in for a sniff — this tailgate has a strict no-sudden-movements policy. It's episode 113 of the Uncle Larry Adventures collection — a 1:00 cinematic short film starring Uncle Larry, the man who walks into rooms he was never invited to and walks out a legend (usually with sausage and peppers).

Full transcript

Larry and Sally hike a sunlit jungle trail in matching safari shirts, shorts and boots, Larry in a bucket hat. A tiger joins them at the grill, padding up while Larry holds a beer and smiles. The three of them settle in around a small charcoal grill loaded with sausage and peppers, Sally holding a plate of peppers, the tiger leaning in between them for a sniff. They eat and drink together on the trail, the tiger sitting between them like any other cookout guest.

The Dinner Party

The candles are lit, the good silverware is out and the guests arrive in their finest — and Larry greets them at the door with a beer and a platter. Sally keeps her hostess smile while the man in the tie sips his wine and wonders what exactly is being served. Formal dinner, Uncle Larry rules.

The Toast

A black-tie party in a glowing house full of champagne and string lights gets an uninvited guest: Larry, in a suit, holding a beer bottle like a microphone. Sally covers her face, the tuxedos turn around, and somehow Larry still ends up in the middle of the room raising a glass with everybody.

The Neon Protocol

Larry and Sally suit up in powered armor with one more soldier and take the fight into a burning neon megacity. Rain, holograms, a mech in the lobby and a penthouse full of people who did not invite them: the only way out is straight through the top floor. For once, the grill stays home.
