This is a weird one. First off, let me say that these things I write, I’m pretty sure I’m not doing sketch comedy right. They’re absolutely weird vignettes. Now this thing, this was something else originally. The footage is the same, but the voiceover song that had the jokes in it doesn’t exist. I did a rough of it, overlaid it on a nice rough of the sketch and oh man did it not work. Why didn’t it work? Because the sequence of events in here aren’t really funny. I sure thought they were when I wrote this five years ago. And I sure did when I filmed it a month ago.

The tip off that this wasn’t funny was while I was editing it. It made me kind of sad. And then I showed it to Jules. His reaction is below.



And after Jules said that, I chuckled about the interaction I had on a comedy message board through private emails. A dude who regularly said horrible things about the videos I posted (fair enough, I’m a spammer. And lots of people say they are horrible.) messaged me and said he’d help me write sketch comedy gold. I thought “fuck you, man. You talk mad shit about my sketches and then you want me to service some fantasy you have of actually making something? Nope.” and then a while later, because the deafening boom of indifference to the things I make can be shattering, I emailed him this script. His response? Also included below, and completely in-line with what Jules’ said. Message board dickhead was right.

All that said, I have come to love this thing. It’s dark.



Here’s the full script with the song:
