Wrapups of weekly sketch battles

  • Time Travel Wrapup

    Oy. I’m getting worse, not better! This time, four sketches have been posted before I got around to the wrapup for last week. I think I need to be a bit more proactive about these!

    Seven sketches and one not-a-sketch from Dave rounded out last week’s battle.

    Next week our brave sketch warriors will be back writing sketches for SNL Characters. (Of course when I say “next week”, I mean right now. Check them out. There’s some good opening salvos.)

    And remember, if you think you’ve got the comedy chops to do battle with our scarred and bitter warriors, if you dare step into the hailstorm of seltzer and cream pies, if you think you’re MAN ENOUGH or WOMAN ENOUGH to make us laugh, write a sketch and contact us at submissions(nospam)@sketchwar.org.

  • Game Show Wrapup

    How slow am I? Peter got his analysis commentary up before I got my wrapup done. Oh well. At least I beat the first sketch this week.

    SEVEN sketches this week on the topic at hand. Some very good stuff.

    Next week our brave sketch warriors will be back on the prompt of time travel.

    And remember, if you think you’ve got the comedy chops to do battle with our scarred and bitter warriors, if you dare step into the hailstorm of seltzer and cream pies, if you think you’re MAN ENOUGH or WOMAN ENOUGH to make us laugh, write a sketch and contact us at submissions(nospam)@sketchwar.org.

  • Fry and Spiner Wrapup

    Another good week for us here. Six men entered and brought forth six great sketches designed to star Stephen Fry and Brent Spiner. Why? Because the thespians had Twitter all aflurry last week as they discussed the possibility of working together. We thought we’d toss our ideas out for the fun of it.

    Oh, and we launched at our new home! Let us know what you think.

    Next week your six brave warriors will be back with sketches on the prompt social networking. And there are rumors we might have some a couple new warriors of a more Amazonian nature. So be sure to bookmark, subscribe, and tell all your friends.

  • Pimp My TV Wrapup

    Another great fight this week with six warriors bringing eight sketches. Yeah, we got a little crazy.

    I’m really proud of our output this week and hope everyone finds at least one or two sketches they enjoy. Be sure to leave comments to let us know what you think.

    Next week we’re changing things up a little bit. Because they asked the Twitterverse for it, we’re going to write sketches – hopefully ones that could be expanded into TV shows – intended to star @stephenfry and @BrentSpiner.

  • FSW: Advertising Edition Wrapup

    Well frak if that wasn’t a hell of a war this week! To all the new visitors to Sketch War, welcome again. What you saw this week was a pretty good example of what we do around here every week, with a few minor modifications. We hope you enjoyed the sketches, and if you haven’t had a chance to read them all, here’s your chance. A record six warriors entered the arena this week swinging their +2 Maces of Mirth and Slashing with +4 Swords of Silliness.

    A variety of styles and approaches were on display this week. There’s something in there for everyone. Take a look and be sure to leave comments letting the brawlers know what you thought, good or ill.

    Next week we’re going to roll our a series of sketches based on the theme: Pimp my TV. Here’s a link to the contest that inspired it.

  • Friday Night Sketch War: Borders Edition

    Forgive me the lateness of this recap, but I’m still recovering from the bloody melee in the arena yesterday. *Five* warriors did battle yesterday; the floor slick with cream pies and banana peels.

    Whoa. Passed out from the blood loss. On to the sketches on the theme: borders.

    Wow. Just, wow. Five warriors, and rumors of another battler considering joining the fray next week. We’ve got guns, rednecks, zombies, Minutemen, Ivans, and fat kids. Check them out and be sure to leave comments.

    Next week’s topic: advertising.

  • Friday Night Sketch War: The Heist Edition

    Ssh! The warriors were in stealth mode this week for a battle of wits and wills in The Heist! Let’s see what convoluted and shifty schemes our combatants put together.

    Me, personally, I think Peter kicked our asses hard with his short, sharp blackout sketch. I’m a little embarassed to have mine in competition against it, even if I do have a really nice visual midway through.

    Next week’s topic: Borders.

  • Friday Night Sketch War: Cartoons Edition

    Sufferin’ Succatash! We’ve got three very animated sketches this week on the topic of cartoons. Anvils were dropped, gravity was defied, and meddling kids and their dog spoiled plans. Let’s get to it.

    Check them out. We’ve got a Hanna-Barbera, a Loony Tunes, and what I’m picturing as a Tex Avery. Good stuff.

    Next week’s topic of death: the heist.

  • Friday Night Sketch War: Resolutions Edition

    Howdy folks, Peter here.

    Coyote has finally made it back stateside, but apparently he found a stash of something aboard that commandeered Catalina 22-foot sloop. (Ah, the rich — they always keep their exciting pharmaceuticals close at hand.) He’s still a bit how-you-say “altered” this week, but I’m sure once he stops telling his invisible-walrus friend about all the pretty colors he’s smelling, Coyote will be back on sketchwar-summary duty.

    This week, in honor of the (Gregorian) New Year, our topic was “resolutions”, a topic that evidently weakened the resolve of all but two sketch-warriors:

    And lo, the eternal battle continues: stay tuned for next week, when we enter the squared circle of pain with sketches about cartoons!

    As always, Sketch War is open to anyone who wants to participate. All you have to do this week is write a sketch about cartoons and contact us at sketchwar at dreamloom dot com.
