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 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…

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: 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…

FSW: Spider
This week’s topic, as chosen by Michael, is procrastination. Oddly enough, I didn’t wait until the last minute to write this. I’m sure you can’t tell based on its quality, however. A couple items of note: There were enough scene changes in here that trying to format as anything but a screenplay was irritating and…

FSW: President Paul
Um, well…so last week I selected the topic of cross dressing for this week’s sketches. Little did I know that it wasn’t an easy theme and I wouldn’t get my first opportunity to work on it until a half-hour ago. Ugh. It’s…okay. I treated it like an improv sketch and once I had the basis,…

FSW: Working Through the Pain
We’ve decided that writing a sketch a week, often a few hours before it’s due, isn’t nearly challenging enough. From now on, we’re going to write on set topics or themes. Michael’s picked this week’s theme: workaholics. I’ll go ahead and pick next week’s theme right now…cross dressing. (TheWife and I are going to see…

FSW: Rules of Order
(Amy stands at the head of a packed and unruly conference table. Everyone is talking over everyone else, trying to be heard above the din and chaos. Kurt sits quietly by Amy’s side.) AMY People! People! Please! Can we have order, please?! (She bangs her hand on the table and the chattering stops. Amy’s got…

Friday Night Sketch War: July 4th Edition
The fireworks for our nation’s celebration paled in comparison to the fireworks on display in this week’s two-man dustup. Two warriors, using every weapon in their arsenals in an all-out battle for ultimate victory! Coyote launched the first attack, a Roman Candle of Vengeance, and a dozen Sparklers of the Undead… Michael retaliated with a…
