{{TB|3…2…1…Happy New--}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Wait, we're still here?!}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Wasn't there, ah, supposed to be a New Year's “afterparty in the sky”?}}
{{Tapped Out L.T. Smash Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|More like an after-LIFE! The apocalypse was supposed to happen, and only godless Liberals were supposed to be left on this planet!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Shocked}}
{{TB|No, the world was supposed to end because of greedy Conservatives!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Sounds like no one's happy. Especially me, who doesn't know what a Liberal or Conservative is.}}

{{Tapped Out Number 1 Icon|Ominous}}
{{TB|This non-pocalypse is very upsetting. Or should I say apocal-not. No, the first one's better.}}
{{Tapped Out Number 1 Icon}}
{{TB|Anyway, we promised our followers an end of the world. I'm calling an emergency meeting!}}

=== Pt. 1 ===
{{Table|
{{THT|After completing the Intro|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|The Stonecutters are holding an event at the convention center called “Conserva-clypse Con”. Why does everything have to have a crazy name?}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|That other sign they hung up is pretty straightforward: “No Homers”.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Shocked}}
{{TB|Wait, so the Stonecutters are part of the Conservative right?!}}
{{Tapped Out Number 1 Icon}}
{{TB|Duh, Lisa. How many Liberal meetings involve robes and spanking one's subordinates? Besides Hollywood casting sessions, that is.}}
{{Tapped Out Number 1 Icon|Laughing}}
{{TB|{{*}}chuckles* That joke works even REGARDLESS of recent events. But enough zinging — we've got an apocalypse to prep for!}}

{{THT|After completing Pt. 1|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Number 1 Icon}}
{{TB|Wow, Conservative preppers work fast! The Liberals don't stand a chance.}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|Now, ah, hold on a minute there. I'm fine with destroying the world for profit, but not just to wipe out an opposing party!}}
{{Tapped Out Number 1 Icon}}
{{TB|Showing a tiny amount of empathy for someone else?! I've had enough of your disgusting Liberal views! We're repealing your Stonecutter membership.}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|But this club is all I have in my life!}}
{{Tapped Out Mrs. Quimby Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|...}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Embarrassed}}
{{TB|Er, ah, I stand by what I said.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|You know, Mayor Quimby, we Liberals will celebrate literally anyone if they act even the slightest bit sane. Why don't you help with a Liberal Self-Help Convention?}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon}}
{{TB|Okay, I suppose I can act slightly sane.}}

{{Tapped Out Julio Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I can't believe the apocalypse didn't happen! My worthless crystals failed at telling the future! I better buy new ones!}}
{{Tapped Out Carl Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|The Earth is already irreversibly damaged, so I thought the Conservatives would be the final tipping point.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Yes, let's keep talking about our feelings until everything is all talked out.}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Smug}}
{{TB|Yes, let's talk it out…}}

{{Tapped Out Birch Barlow Icon}}
{{TB|Hello again, Springfield! I heard there was an eagle-cry for freedom that cannot be ignored. And here I am, ready to star-spangle every man, woman, and child with my radio show.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Suspicious}}
{{TB|Birchibald T. Barlow! And I thought all this hot air was just from climate change. You're here to purge us, aren't you?}}
{{Tapped Out Birch Barlow Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|That's exactly what I'm here for. All you Liberals have run our fair city into the ground and failed to be wiped away by the Rapture. We will fix that.}}
{{Tapped Out Wolfcastle Icon}}
{{TB|Yes. We will finally rid ourselves of the puny little nerds.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Worried}}
{{TB|I never thought I'd say this, but endless talking about the world's problems won't fix things. We might need to start actually preparing ourselves.}}

{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Rolling Eyes}}
{{TB|Stop being such a negative, existential NERD, you Liberal.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|Yeah! You Liberals just want to eradicate all our freedoms! I like freedoms!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|You guys are Conservative now? And since when do you know words like “existential” and “eradicate”?}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|Eh, we just like to yell.}}
{{Tapped Out Birch Barlow Icon}}
{{TB|That's right. Yell at those yellow-belly Liberals!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Mayor Quimby! Barlow is stirring up trouble! Please help me show them reason!}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Happy}}

{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Suspicious}}
{{TB|Something odd is going on here… everyone is riled up for the apocalypse, yet they seem excited.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Shouting}}
{{TB|It's almost like people are rooting for it to prove themselves right. They're cutting off their nose to spite their face.}}
{{Tapped Out Carl Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|That's a great idea! Cutting off my nose would really show those Conservative jerks what jerks they are!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Worried}}
{{TB|I just meant let's not go down without a fight!}}
{{Tapped Out Carl Icon|No Nose}}

{{Tapped Out Brockman Icon}}
{{TB|And that is it, folks. It has been over eight hours and the Doomsday Countdown Clock reached its end. It looks like the apocalypse isn't happening for either side of the aisle.}}
{{Tapped Out Julio Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I'm disappointed the Conservatives didn't cause an apocalypse. It's almost as if nothing they do is that big a deal. So depressing…}}
{{Tapped Out Number 1 Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I am disappointed that we could not deliver the end times as promised.}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|This is what you get for wanting the apocalypse to happen intentionally, when you should do it out of neglect!}}
{{Tapped Out Number 1 Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|But it is the Republican way!}}
{{Tapped Out Birch Barlow Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|It's also the Republican way to make money off human misery. Profits speak louder than raptures!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|I knew it! You two were working together to stir up controversy and keep people distracted from the real issues!}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Smug}}
{{TB|This is the only cross-party thing we can agree on. Cheers for maintaining status quo!}}

{{TB|Have you disposed of all the relevant evidence?}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Happy}}
