This is useful for situations where you want to skip the Fred cutscene but can't skip the Purple Tentacle (Rockstar%, Michael Ending). Get captured in Edna's room and hit new Kid as she gets to the corner of her desk. If you get the New Kid menu up before she say's "I Got You" it's ideal, otherwise you can switch to the character outside the outer lab door and keep mashing New Kid til you see Edna's dialogue appearing at the top of the screen. From there just walk in the Outer Lab and you still have New Kid menu access. You'll want to walk up to Purple Tentacle to trigger getting captured and then quick switch to another character and back. This will breeze through Purple Tentacle's dialogue and cause Weird Ed/in the Michael Ending specifically) to show up for the proper storyline obstacle clearance. Timing is really sensitive to accidentally just skipping Tentacle altogether like normal any%. As an aside, this is how I found out that any character can get past Tentacle in the Michael Ending, no matter which one hands the film over to Weird Ed, no tele-transfer required.
