FSW: New Pants
Michael selected this week’s theme: back to school. I thought about using a scene from my spec sequel to the Rodney Dangerfield classic, but it’s just too good to waste on the likes of y’all. Instead I give you… NEW PANTS(TOM, early 40s with a comb-over and MEMBERS ONLY JACKET, and his son BRANDON, 11…

Friday Sketch War – No Child Left Behind
After being a long-time reader (and fan) of the Friday Sketch Wars, I decided to toss my hat into the ring (aka – get my ass in gear and get something written in time to play with the other kids 🙂 ). This weeks theme was “Back to School”. UPDATE: Richard got us dressed for…

Friday Night Sketch War: Payroll Edition
This week sees the return of the three-man battle royale edition, and to grease the skids for his reentry to the fight, David picked this week’s theme. And then? He just managed to set his bomb off with seconds to spare in the fight! Next week’s theme has been selected by Michael and is back…

Whose Side Are You On?
(A recording studio. SCOTT stands alone, fretting. After a beat, THERESA enters.) SCOTTHe still out there? THERESAYeah. (pause) SCOTTIf he can’t go through with it, are you willing to do the voiceover? THERESANo! I have a horrible voice! SCOTTDon’t say that. THERESAIt’s true! It’s worse than yours.

Not crazy about the ending. But it’ll do for now.Next week’s theme is “Back to School“. And, as always, if you’d like join us, simply…

FSW: Highway Robbery
Not my best work. I’m going to leave it at that. I think it’s a cute-ish setup, and I don’t mind the payoff, but it’s clunky and clumsy and the dialog sucks. Sorry. Blame David for picking this week’s theme of payroll. Michael’s up for next week’s theme. My fingers are crossed that it doesn’t…

FSW: Disney Edition
“Disney” was the theme tossed out by Richard this week in honor of his applying for the Disney-ABC Television Writing Fellowship. Here’s hoping it was just the push he needed to get accepted.His sketch this week brings us the Walt-cicle taking in the Olympics.Dave jumped in last week after getting a reaming from the creator…

FSW: Walt and the Olympics
Today’s the Disney-ABC deadline. My application got in the mail yesterday, but in honor of the day, I suggested that this week’s theme should be Disney. Hope you enjoy. Next week’s theme *should* be up to David, but if he’s not fully back in the battle, it’ll fall to Michael. (A lab. An odd mixture…

Friday Night Sketch War: Procrastina-a-tion…
…is making me wait. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done a Sketch War roundup, but we’ve been running strong. Michael and I have been fighting enameled-mouth-grinder and keratin-back-scratcher for weeks, and were happily rejoined by David and his rock-n-roll zombies this week. The rules have changed recently. Our weekly battles are now themed…

Hot Rocks, Cold Bodies
(A morgue. Four bodies are covered with sheets. TONY PRATT, coroner, lifts one of the sheets and speaks into a handheld tape recorder.) TONY…and the renal and liver failure, along with the low sodium concentration in the plasma, makes for a textbook case of Legionnaires’ disease. In younger victims, this would have been very treatable,…
