Sketch Ideas

Preface: Wanting to write for SNL or some paid sketch comedy gig, every week I'll post 5-10 sketch ideas to keep the mind going.  Think of these as pitches.  By next week I'll hopefully have completely written one or two. Some of the ideas will range from G-rating to R and may not be suitable for an SNL audience but still... this is practice in being productive/proficient.

Possible Sketches:

1: Guy or Woman returning to that one place they once lived and being real jerks about.

• Oh yeah... I think I left this here by accident.
• A pool! Holy cow! 
• Can I check this out/that out?
• Your daughter/son's in my old room, how about that.
• We used to store our dead pets in the floor, do you guys do that?
• Ahhh , memories.
• oh yeah, for like real, you probably shouldn't even stand near that window. lotta "Dirty things" happened there.
• someone died there. tons of blood. 

2: Something to do with a Super Happy Dildo Monster

3: China face white face black face

• Setting: actress/actor in makeup chair with makeup artist they discuss with  director/producer/writer about what type of character to create.
• Makeup artist has buckets of paint labeled "China face" "White face" "Black face"

4: Women police taking down one illegal sausage fest at a time.

• In the year 2040, all sausage fests have been declared illegal. 
• (wow, this could almost be a cheesy porno)

5: Redirecting traffic (literally)

• A director redirecting traffic
• Perhaps this could be more...
• cheesy. Somehow I see this turning into a "there was only one man for the job" - enter famous director who begins to redirect traffic "with emotion" and "supreme feeling"
• if this were a Robot Chicken sketch, the guy would get driven over early
• and then someone would be like "ohhhh sorry, I didn't see you." or "wahaha motherfucker, I hate all your movies. This was my only chance and I took it. okay take me to jail" 

6: Something to do with "oh no, I can't do that, I'm an asshole"

7: Person revealing other people's secrets via obvious yet hilarious t-shirts

• More than likely a dry-erase t-shirt.  
• Perhaps everyone has one.
• turns into a conversation on the dry-erase t-shirt
• Alright stop!  I've never done so much writing in my life!
• denying these horrible truths is destroying me from the inside! Of course I (horrible secret). And all the time. Who wouldn't. Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you?! Don't look at me like that, answer me! 
• ...well yeah, if I was in that situation.
• makes sense... probably would've used whipcream and tabasco sauce
