Here’s my commentary for the latest round of Sketchwar, which had the theme “March Madness.” (Only five sketches this week, so this gives me a bit of a breather, commentary-wise.)

Whoops! Not only did this week’s topic bring us our fewest sketches in several weeks, but…um…this was not our best week. And that’s, o-kay. There were a few chuckles though, so let’s get to them.

• RA led off with Bill Raftery and come crazy mascots. If you know college basketball, you know that’s all he needed for some guaranteed laughs. If not, well, ONIONS…
• EL took a break from all those tattooed, selfish, indulged college kids for some of the next generation…
• Michael brought the Dada to the court…
• DNW took us down home for some good genetics…
• Peter gamed his tourney bracket with some artificial intelligence.

Next week’s topic is CSI: Anywhere. Expect a lot of sunglasses and oneliners. And don’t forget to vote on your favorite sketch from this week.

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

So I give you…

E.L. Raica comes to us this week with a tale of great athletes and the sacrifices they make. You’ve never seen young men leave it all on the court like this, I guarantee that.

INT. GRADE SCHOOL GYMNASIUM – AFTERNOON
PLAYERS, PARENTS, COACHES, REFEREES, and CAMERA CREWS crowd together in a small, grade school gymnasium during a third grade basketball game. About a dozen third grade boys are milling around the gym floor waiting for play to commence. Announcers, BOB and JIM, sit at a table on the side calling the game.

Ugh. I picked this week’s topic and could NOT be more irritated with myself. March Madness is a time of rejoicing over upsets and crying over busted brackets, not trying to put write sketch comedy! I’m a maroon. Oh well. This one’s…well…not very funny, but it’ll do I guess. Y’all be the judges.
