The first preview is Sponge Bob Square Pants going underwater to a burger joint.
Narrator: And now... bigger! louder! spongier!
Peter: Did you know it's the same guy who narrates most of these previews? Yeah, they just take him from studio to studio in a limousine, and they pay him twenty thousand dollars per. He does, like, four a day.
Me: Wow, so that's almost $100k per day.
Peter: He doesn't work every day.
Me: But even if he just worked 100 days per year, that's a million dollars. That's pretty good.
The next preview starts, which is an advertisement for Sweet Central '05, a photo album that you can put in your prom pictures and yearbook pictures. Peter suddenly stops chewing mid-bite, stops moving, almost seems to stop breathing as he stares toward the screen.
Me: What's going on? Do you really want one of these albums?
Peter: [silent]
Me: I can get one for you if you really want. But why?
Peter: It's not one million dollars, it's ten million dollars per year.
Me: Oh, yeah.
The next preview starts, and once again there's the Paramount splash screen:
Me: Wow, it's the same mountain that stars in almost all of these trailers! That mountain must make so much money!
