British people would probably get this but basically, back in the old days, when TV was more crap than it is now, since channels only ran for a couple of hours, and the TVs themselves were crap, stations needed some form of Test-Card for the viewers TVs to make sure they were working properly.
The test-card that I'm parodying is the last one to be made by the BBC, so it's still used (very occasionally) today. The last time I remember seeing it was a couple of years back when I was small. The BBC suffered some interferance/technical difficulties, so they put the test card up. Needless to say, I was freaked out by the quietness that it scared me.
The original uses a small girl and a clown. The board has a noughts and crosses game on it.
I have copies of the blank test-card without the image in the centre. :3

It's sad that I'm older than you, and yet I've NEVER seen that.
Muted Says:
I remember that from ages ago.
The girl in the original is at least 45 years old now.
I find that weird.

I think everybody is totally scared of the original test card, i always used to watch the teletext screens on 3 they had classical music X3, if this card was used back in the days, there'd be a lot more happier kids around, unless they got freaked out by wormzilla

Lol, what's wormzilla doing there?
