Depressed Clown

This is probably a good advert for my Clowns sitcom. Can't have it in an episode for various reasons, but it works as a standalone sketch.

=======================
Depressed Clown
=======================
INT. GARAGE – AM.

FACE OF GIGGLING CLOWN.

WE SEE SHE'S ATTACHED A LONG BALLOON-ANIMAL BALLOON FROM THE EXHAUST OF A SMALL CLOWN CAR TO THE DRIVER'S WINDOW.

SHE CLAMBERS INTO THE CAR WITH DIFFICULTY, EVENTUALLY SQUEEZING HERSELF IN.

SHE STARTS THE CAR, STOPS GIGGLING AND BECOMES REALLY DEPRESSED, STARTING TO CRY.

SHE STARTS TO DROP OFF AS THE CAR FILLS WITH FUMES.

SHE NODS OFF, SLOWLY LEANING MORE AND MORE FORWARD.

EVENTUALLY HER HEAD DROPS ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE HORN BEEPS AND THE CAR COMPLETELY FALLS APART AND SHE ENDS UP SITTING ON THE FLOOR.

SHE STARTS GIGGLING AGAIN.

END

Highly visual and works well, Dan.

Will the clown's [painted] facial expression be changed in accordance with her mood?

That would work well! Thanks Geoff -- nice idea!

Dan

Messed up!
But good, I liked it.

Bloody Hell mate - ours are very similar aren't they? Good one.

Very good Dan.

Excellent!

That's because you're both a couple of clowns! Write what you know an all that ;)

Very nice sketch.

Good one Dan.

Yeah, exactly! Had to get it posted quickly as yours was evolving precariously close! ;)

Thanks all, btw!

Dan

So morbid... but amusing :)

Cheers guys.
