In what clearly holds the record in the coronet curse of "Listening to the voices in your head telling you what to do" Barry, a teenaged boy, decides not to join his family on vacation, deciding that he wants to hang around the house and with friends.( "I declare!" says his Mom) But as soon as he leaves, his inner voice starts up, and just doesnt let up by telling him what to do, what's wrong and so forth. Pretty soon, Barry (and us) are depressed about his surroundings, and lack of things to do. (we're depressed because we clearly feel Barry is one big loser). After a while of listening to the voices, Barry ultimateley winds up WAXING THE FLOOR WITH HIS BARE HANDS. Soon, thankfully, Barry's family returns. Mother looks at the rag Barry's been cleaning with, but doesnt say anything (actions speak louder then words in her case). While this may SOUND all fun, The-Barry-and-his-voice show DOES get boring after a while, but this is sort of an entertaining short nevertheless.
