seminoles Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) I'm in speech and one of my events is OC, which is original comedy for those that don't know, which is acting out a comedic scene with multiple characters all by yourself and has a little bit of a stand up feel to it. Welllll, the OC I wrote at the beginning of the year I'm not really liking anymore, even though I've won with it at tournaments. It's basically I keep having these weird dreams and I go to a psychologist to get a dream interpretation and that turns out horribly wrong. The problem with it is that it's not creative enough. Some people have done ideas like the hare and the turtle having another race, a guy sitting next to satan on a plane, a little boy acting out all the characters when he is playing with a battleship toy while taking a bath, Han Solo giving confidence lessons to geeks, etc... So you can see the field of choice for ideas is very open. Heck, I was about to do an Oompa Loompa suing Willy Wonka for child labor law infringements until I found out it's been done before. A state champion years ago did the life of a dollar bill. Another state champion had already done my idea of a clean aristocrats routine. So what I'm getting at is come up with the most random ideas that you can, and hopefully some of them will be good. I'm just trying multiple mediums to come up with new ideas. Also different style ideas help too like film noir. TIA. *I'm giving everyone a chance to come up with their weirdest ideas, anything is good. Please, just please, do not suggest H8Tank as a character, I don't want to be disqualified now Edited November 20, 2007 by seminoles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'canes2004 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 How about a setting where all the great leaders of our country are sitting around in the after-life discussing events in the world today and the how the United States faces these events. You could have MacArthur and Patton discussing the cluster f*ck in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then maybe Abe Lincoln and George Washington discussing how George Bush has lost the trust and faith of his country and maybe Thomas Jefferson and FDR discussing diplomacy and how we are perceived and how we interact with other countries. You could blend old school values and weave them into new school issues using great Americans from the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) I have always had this idea for a comedy sketch..Its a little long but here it goes. Women think when a man says that he loves them its is official but I disagree..The first time a man farts in front of a woman is the true test of his love..When a man feels comfortable enough to let one rip it means more then when he says he loves a woman So the sketch is you acting out the first time you fart in front of a woman The setting is a car and you are driving..There are 2 keys to making this work 1. You are going to be acting the whole thing out in slow motion 2. and most important..You must play the theme to Chariots of fire as you act this out You have to be both charectors..She is looking out the window and you cut a silent one..Then you slowly waft it over to here :chariotsoffireinthebackround: she notices the aroma but instead of being disgusted she looks over and bats her eyes at you and you smile back at her..Semi..Its pure gold..

Savage Beatings Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 How about a bunch of zoo animals debating back and forth whether global warming is good or bad... you could have the penguins and polar bears, etc. yelling at the lions, and gazelles... have them pressing against their cages as they get all animated about how warm its getting... in the end they all agree to blame the waterbuffalo and his flatulence for causing so much trouble. Turn it a little upside down, where the cold weather animals actually want it to get warmer (they're sick of all of the ice and snow)... while the African desert animals are ticked that its going to get even hotter now (you could have the lions whining about how its just sooooo hard to wake up and get down to the water hole etc.). Meh... probably been done by now. I'll keep trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cre8tiff Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 You stayed out too late parking and making out with your girlfriend. In order to save yourself, (and her reputation), you both make up a story of being abducted by aliens. It reaches the media and you find yourself having to answer interrogations by the media, the gubberment, and her father, who doesn't really believe your story.

Coffeeman Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Sex sells, so here we go. A 'when worlds collide' play on the 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon game, except its called '6 Degrees of Dick'. (Or 'sex' if the D-word could get you disqualified.) After a little smut rag/web research, you can draw a large map of who has boinked whom within the worlds of sports, music, tv/movies, politics, etc. My friends and I have fun with this all the time - a new connection is made every day - just check tmz. com, perezhilton.com, defamer.com, wwtdd.com, etc... The characters are endless, but you'd want it all to start and come back to some key figure, like Madonna, Bill Clinton, Tom Brady or Justin Timberlake. Just to name a few of the 'Hall of Fame F'ers'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 You could do a secret meeting of the Illuminati or something like that (the 9 men who secretly rule the world)... and just make them all wimpy nerds who happen to have a ton of money and political influence, who basically just like to mess with people. You could have two of the nerds get into an argument... one of them responds with something like, "I'll show you... you've got a Summer home on the French Riviera right... well, France is about due for another Revolution!" Then have him make a phone call, giving orders, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isleseeya Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) okay here goes an idea ( mostly a rambling ) : an american out of work decides to go to Pakistan to become a taxi driver as apparently there is a shortage of taxi drivers in Pakistan amazingly he has an uncanny resemblance to President Musharraf and is hired to be his double ( especially for public appearances where the crowd is rowdy , although Pakistani's as we all know are very calm people who never demonstrate ) President musharraf unfortunately chokes on a preztel while sitting on his couch watching the Cricket champiosnhip final and dies The american takes Musharraf's place , decides to make peace with India , gets rid of all nukes , amazingly finds Osama ( who was hiding in a penthouse of Pakistans top hotel ) , hands him over to the americans , and is dubbed Time Man of the Year as well as People's top 100 best looking men ...he marries Vida Guerra , still has two or three more wife slots he can fill , while getting a life time supply of Viagra and lives happily ever after Edited November 21, 2007 by isleseeya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Linguist Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) Two speech writers working with Chimpy on the next State of the Union address. They could tutor him on words that are hard to pronounce. For example; any word with more than two syllables, correct use and definitions of prepositions, and when to use "There", "Their" or "They're", etc. Then it could morph into a "Who's on First" sketch. Hilarity ensues. Edited November 21, 2007 by Cunning Linguist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
