Its too bad you had such a hard time on this run. Battling the VP is one of the more fun things to do in Toontown, but being a cold caller makes it hard to get in with a good group of toons despite your gags or Laff level. As has already been stated above, the CCG is really your answer. The mindset of CCG runs is different then random runs. There is a real pull to get the lower suit and lower laff point toons through the battle.
I was also very frustrated with the VP battle after several similar experiences when I first started. Thank goodness for the CCG. I was pulled through several runs despite my poor gag choices and inexperience. When you show up, you will never see more large suit toons in one place anywhere else, and unlike trying to get on the elevator in Nutty Summit or River, they are happy to load with you. I have seen time and again when a non CCG member jumped off the elevator only to be replaced immediately by a Hollywood 50. Many of the regular CCGer's will monitor your toon throughout the pie battle and will toon you up even if you are too preoccupied to ask. I have seen unities and level 7 gags used on multiple occasions to get a lower level toon through a battle with no real benefit to the high laff tune who used it.
All you have to do is get the schedule and show up. And if your jellybean bank is empty there are usually 2-3 toons who shower everyone with jellybean unites before loading. You might not win every time, but I cannot remember the last time I went sad and only rarely hear other tunes go sad on any of the runs I've attended. I have gone from CC1 to HW30 in 4-5 weeks almost completely with CCG runs. I am near to my Robber Baron Suit Promotion as well and have never done a non-CCG CFO run.
Good Luck and Have Fun.
