  • Silent Scene Wrapup

    Sorry. That’s all I’ve got to say about this past week’s topic. We tried, I swear. EL led off with angry mobs and post-apocalyptic potato warfare… RA followed with a series of pranks. If she teases you, she must like you… EL shot back with a muffin… David went for a drive. Fast. Really fast.…

  • Prank Warfare

    Good grief. I think this topic is Peter’s fault. Ugh. So sorry. I hope y’all find it funnier to read than I did to write. But I seriously doubt it. [fountain] INT. KINDERGARTEN – DAY YOUNG DAVID looks up from gluing macaroni to construction paper, interrupted by YOUNG EMILY’S ponytail sweeping across his desk. He…

  • CSI: Anywhere Wrapup

    Damn Horatio Caine and his concern about cataracts! Depending on how you want to count Ken’s brilliant four-part runner, this was either a banner week for us with eight sketches, or an average week with five. I think for voting and wrapup purposes we’ll call it five. So what did the sketch warriors bring to…

  • CSI: Anywhere

    Just as last week’s topic was a bit of foreign territory for some of the warriors, this week’s topic is a mystery to me. The sum of my knowledge of the CSI family of shows comes from the “Endless Caruso One Liners” video. However, far be it from me to fake what I don’t know.…

  • March Madness Wrapup

    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…

  • This is March

    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. [fountain] INT.…

  • SNL Character Wrapup

    I hope you all enjoyed following along this week as much as we enjoyed bringing these characters to life. In some ways, this was a really tough prompt, but I think everyone managed to bring their A game this week. Nine sketches (thanks to a double bonus from Ken whose initial trepidation hid a torrent…

  • Continental Sensitivity

    E.L. Raica comes at us with another sketch this week – impressive because apparently she’s been under the weather the past few days with some, uh, alimentary distress. So be sure to leave a nice comment, or a recipe for your grandmother’s remedy. Either one will do, I’m sure. I think she’s really captured Walken…

  • 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. DNW got hit in the head with a…

  • Daily Affirmation with Stuart Smalley

    This one came to me almost immediately. I’m just thrilled no one beat me to the punch on this pairing. I would pay good money to see this sketch. [fountain] Opening montage. Stills of Stuart Smalley float across the sky. End on gorgeous sunset. STUART (V.O.) I deserve good things. I am entitled to my…
