  • FSW: Advertising Edition (Ken’s Entry)

    Okay…I’m an idiot. Yes, I did briefly post this Friday, wondering why everyone else didn’t post yet. And then my tiny little brain went “oh yeah, this is the week we’re waiting until Monday” So…ummmm….sorry, and….my bad.Meanwhile, back at the ranch… What Superbowl would be complete without a car commercial, huh? So here’s my little…

  • Friday Night Sketch War: Learning Something New About History Edition

    Another tough topic, though not nearly as painful, or likely to make a grown man cry and jump on a couch, as Oprah. Again, we had three warriors enter the fray. They acquitted themselves well. Coyote pulled back the curtain on the massive conspiracy that controls the world… Ken told a heartwarming tale of gold,…

  • FSW: The Truth About Harry

    Quick point of order: Peter is a bastard for coming up with this week’s theme, Learning something new about history. May a thousand beetles crawl into his closet and take up residence in his favorite sneaker. The left one, not the right one. Come back on Saturday for the recap, where I give you links…

  • Friday Night Sketch War: Oprah Edition

    Yours truly – like many before him – fell under the spell of one Ms. Oprah Gail Winfrey’s hypnotic powers. I thought to myself did I, “oh, Oprah would make a great theme for Sketch War. So many topics. So many sketch ideas. This will be great!” She’s ephemeral. Like a ghost, or Duke Nukem…

  • FSW: Oprah’s Favorite Things

    Holy crap. I swear, when I thought of Oprah last week, I had visions of sketches writing themselves. So many ideas filled my head: Oprah as a cruel taskmaster; Oprah as an international spy; Oprah giving hitmen assignments with envelopes under their seats. Those ideas? They don’t work. Nothing worked. I was going to do…

  • Friday Night Sketch War: Horrible Holidays Edition

    The battle continues apace; tonight we’re joined by a new warrior. Fresh-faced and unscathed from previous battles, will Peter Rogers kill or cower, fight or flee? This week’s theme is brought to us by one of our legion of fans: horrible family holidays. Coyote – just like Han damn it! – shot first, with flaming…

  • FSW: Chinatown Christmas

    Blogging buddy @tjonsek suggested this week’s theme in comments: horrible family holidays. I didn’t have to reach too deep into my bag of painful, poorly suppressed memories to pull this sketch out. Still rubs me raw. You know of course that comedy often requires painting in broad strokes and exaggerating. Comedy in real life is…

  • Friday Night Sketch War: Autumn Edition

    A two-man grapple in Sketch Stadium this week, as Coyote challenges Ken. Last week’s secret ingredient was autumn. In Battle Autumn, whose cuisine sketch reigns supreme?! Coyote takes a ride in the country. The country of death… Ken examines the short, sharp, brutal lives of those in their golden years. Next week’s theme, provided in comments…

  • FSW: Leafer’s Paradise

    Autumn. A wide open theme. Could have gone so many ways, that I expect we’ll get some nice variation this week. Let’s hope so! Come back later for a recap with links to the other sketches and information on submitting for next week. And if you’ve got a theme you’d like to see us try…

  • Friday Night Sketch War: Reconciliation Edition

    In the battle of the sketches, he who comes first gets trampled by those who follow. But those who follow trip on the landmines of the first. Don’t you ever forget that. Coyote can’t help but spit one more political salvo straight into the heart of the sun!!! Ken straightens out the books with a…
