(After the Channel Awesome logo, we cold-open on Robert Downey, Jr., walking by a crowd of people (possibly at the premiere of a movie))

Narrator (Tamara): Once upon a time, there was an actor who won over the entire world. For ten years, he played (An image of Downey as the title character in Iron Man is shown) one of the most beloved superheroes of all time, even when a movie he was in kind of sucked ass. (The poster for Iron Man 2 is superimposed) He was always praised for his charm and charisma. But one day, the actor decided he was done with this path. He called up his agent and said that he wanted to make a movie like the old days of his career.

(We then cut to Downey's agent, played by Malcolm)

Agent: You want to what??

Downey, Jr. (voice of Rob): (on Skype) Yeah, I'm tired of doing good stuff. I want to go back to what I'm most familiar with: being in crap.

Agent: Robert, you act like the majority of your career was starring in bad things.

Downey, Jr.: It was. Don't you remember?

(A montage is shown of Downey, Jr.'s pre-Iron Man movies: Only You, The Shaggy Dog with Tim Allen, The Singing Detective, Fur, The Gingerbread Man)

Downey, Jr. (vo): Before Iron Man, I was in nothing but critical box office poison.

Downey, Jr.:' To tell you the truth, I kinda miss it.

Agent: Robert, no one's going to purposely fund a bad film.

Downey, Jr.: I'll finance it. My wife and I.

Ageny: Susan? She's a very well-established producer. Why would she indulge you in this?

Downey, Jr.: 'Cause it's fun. I don't know. I just want to suck again.
