Zombola the new zombie sketch show!

So if you've noticed I've been writing a bunch of zombie themed sketches.

What do people think about writing a sketch show pilot themed around zombies.

Just for laffs you know?

I reckon we'd only need about 10 or 12 sketches. I've written about 4 could be fun.

I think we base it on the idea of it being set about 10 years after the Zombie invasion. Most humans are dead, eaten or fleeing terror. The zombie's are slowly returning to a version of their human lives.

So Zombie student protests, Zombie sitcoms, Zombie X factor.

Here's the X Factor One

THE X FACTOR STUDIO THE AUDIENCE IS FULL OF ZOMBIES AND ROTTEN CORPSES

THE STAGE IS COVERED WITH BODY PARTS, BLOOD AND OTHER CRAP

A ZOMBIE STANDS ON THE STAGE

ZOMBIE
Euuuurrrrrrgggh!

CUT BACK TO ZOMBIE PANEL

ZOMBIE PIERS
Urrrggghhh!

ZOMBIE COWELL
Eurrgghh! (SOUNDS SUPERSILIOUS SOME HOW)

CHERYL (WHO IS NOT A ZOMBIE)
Cannae lass , you've really touched me, I think Simon's a big meanie don't you Piers?

ZOMBIE PIERS DOES WHAT A MORON HAND GESTURE ZOMBIE SIMON NODS

piers is on britains got talent . but you could do a dani joke about her face being so full of botox shes not edible by her zombie co-judges. if you did a pilot of this it would force the nation to say about zombie cheryl "i still would"

I don't know if there's much point in doing a pilot- I love the idea but don't think the theme has the legs to go any further. Why not a bunch of web shorts?

Yeh same sort of thing, it is the same joke over and over

Any one else fancy writing a zombie sketch?

Damn who should I replace Piers with?

I just liked the idea that Cheryl is so thick,

She isn't aware the world has been devoured by the walking dead

The other zombie's accept her instinctively as a mindless sack of meat.

Nah it's why Mary Jane won't do his laundry

Any one else fancy writing a zombie sketch?

As barney from How I met your mother would say challenge accepted. if I cancel my account that means challenge failed and I'm hiding in shame

how do you do the not messy quote?

Gave it a crack.

Hundreds of zombies are gathered outside a town hall. The streets are deserted. A reporter is addressing the camera

Reporter - The undead have risen. It has been 24 hours since they congregated outside of this town hall. Men, women and children have been told to stay in doors. Under no circumstances are they to leave the house. But apparently reporters aren't included in the rest of society and I've been sent to cover the story. Still could be worse could be Jeremy Clarksons P.R woman.

Zombies start to surround the reporter and cameraman. They are both obviously terrified and convinced they will die. The reporter begins to pray

Zombie - (clears throat) Sorry. Could I get a word?

Reporter - Oh my God you can talk

Zombie - Oh my God your blonde! Not very nice is it. You're here to interview us, right?

Reporter - (unsure) Okay

Zombie - What we want is equal rights

Reporter - Right's for zombies

Zombie - Number 2. As the kings speech shows disability is not to be laughed at so no more zombie flicks okay, it's offensive. When I saw shawn of the dead I almost lived!

Reporter - No more Simon Pegg films I agree with you there. And thirdly

Zombie - As much human flesh as we can eat

All the zombies eat reporter and cameraman

I couldn't imagine a whole sketch show. But a weekly comic, animation or series of shorts may work.

sootyj I rise to your Challenge. (sorry it's a bit long)

Zombie Sketch

Scene opens with an aerial shot of an American county fair on a hot beautiful day. There is a large tent, some rides and lots of stalls. From a distance everything looks normal. Switch to a head shot of a Dishevelled middle aged Zombie reporter named Bob.

BOB (piece to camera)
Welcome to the Kerr county fair here in Good Ol Texas. As in previous years we have had a hell of a July 4th weekend and it has climaxed with the International Confederation of Competitive eating sanctioned Mexican Eat off. We can cross now live to our Reporter Dead Mackenzie

Switch to a panorama shot of blood and gore behind a wooden fence with Dead stood in the centre of the shot. Ted stands next to him grinning. Ted is wearing a crime scene paper suit and it is covered with blood as are his hands and beard.

DEAD
Thanks Bob. It has indeed been a great competition and we have a new record this year. Just to remind you of the rules, It was a fifteen minute contest where food had to be caught and eaten as quickly as possible. Our winner was "Better Dead than not, Red, Ted, Banner" and he joins me here now

TED (with a slow Texan drawl)
Hi

DEAD
We are going to see you in action now Ted

Switch to footage of Ted and several other Zombies chasing around 70 traditionally dressed Mexicans of all ages, sizes and both sexes around a large wooden fenced pen, catching them and then eating them

DEAD V/O
You put in one hell of a performance and managed to kill and eat a whole twelve Mexicans in your fifteen minutes, how have you trained for this competition?

TED V/O
Well, I bin training at the catching with my coach over there Ned, Thanks Ned, and that wasn't too much of a problem, I knew the Mexicans wouldn't be too fast, but the eatin, Well I tell ya those Mexicans were a whole lot more spicy than I thought they might have bin.

DEAD V/O
Well thanks Red Ted, back over to you Bob
