6, 5, or 2, yes. 1, NO!

By the way, people have done #20 in real life, only more like "ROAD CLOSED DUE TO ZOMBIES".

Everyone else is robots? Bollocks. Everyone else is a disguised alien. I've got the special sunglasses that prove it.

The car crashing into the house was hilarious. I liked the scratch and win, the bra, the facebook and the stadium. I don't get #1

Number one was no good. Two was the best, in my opinion.
