Just thought I'd give this a go and see if anyone liked it, it's just a quick thing I put together. I was hoping to write a sitcom but first I thought I'd write a short version of an episode and see what people think. I'm not sure if people will think its funny or not. But yeah I'd appreciate any feedback to see if I should do a sitcom. Thanks.
NICK (Narrating):
I always get a bit nervous when taking big steps in life, my first day of school hit me like a brick wall.
FLASHBACK: NICK AS A BOY PLAYING FOOTBALL, THE BALL GOES INTO THE TREES.
NICK
I'll get it!
NICK RUNS INTO THE TREES AND A THUD IS HEARD, THE BALL ROLLS OUT AND THE CAMERA MAKES IT'S WAY OVER TO NICK LYING ON THE FLOOR THEN SLOWLY MOVES UP REVEALING A BRICK WALL BEHIND THE TREES.
NICK (Narrating):
So I generally tried my best to put off big events in my life, but like most things they all end up happening sooner or later. My first date ended up being a stressful day for me and that was even before I met my date...
DURING THE NARRATION IT SHOWS NICK'S ALARM CLOCK GOING OFF AND NICK'S HAND COMING OUT OF THE BED COVERS TO TURN IT OFF, NICK'S HAND INSTEAD HITS OVER A GLASS OF WATER ON HIS BEDSIDE TABLE AND IT GOES OVER THE CLOCK MAKING THE ALARM STOP.
(OPENING TITLES)
NICK (Narrating):
Like most first dates I was nervous about what was going to happen, I met a girl called Jenny at a gig and decided to ask her out and it actually went well!
FLASHBACK: NICK WITH HIS MATES LAUGHING AT A GIG
NICK'S MATE:
So go on then, ask her...
NICK:
It'll just go wrong, but fine, I'll give it a go.
NICK'S MATES LAUGH AND EGG HIM ON. NICK WALKS OVER TO A GIRL STOOD TALKING TO HER FRIENDS, THEY ALL STOP AND LOOK AT HIM CURIOUSLY.
GIRL:
Erm...hi.
NICK:
Oh hey, erm...I just noticed you over here and thought you look pretty cool, I like your t-shirt, so you like that band then?
GIRL:
Erm...yeah, if I didn't like them I probably wouldn't be at his gig.
NICK:
Oh right yeah, so well I just wondered if you fancied a drink or something?
GIRL:
Yeah, okay, thanks.
THE GIRL SAYS BYE TO HER MATES AND WALKS AWAY WITH NICK.
LATER IN THE NIGHT:
NICK AND THE GIRL ARE STOOD TOGETHER AT THE BUS STOP.
NICK:
So, Jenny do you fancy maybe going out sometime, on a date? Maybe Friday?
JENNY:
Yeah that would be nice.
JENNY SMILES.
NICK:
Alright, cool it's a date then!
JENNY:
Yeah, it's a date, I'll see you on Friday then.
NICK: Okay, yeah, thanks Jenny, see you Friday.
JENNY WALKS OFF AND NICK CELEBRATES.
NICK:
YEEEESSSSS!
NICK WALKS AWAY AND WALKS INTO THE GLASS PANE OF THE BUS STOP.
BACK IN THE PRESENT:
NICK (Narrates):
So I was quite surprised that night went so well and a girl actually was looking forward to going on a date with me, now all I needed to do was get ready and getting ready for a date isn't the bad part...is it?
NICK WALKS INTO THE BATHROOM AND HAS A SHAVE, NOT CUTTING HIMSELF ONCE AND PUTS DOWN THE RAZOR, LOOKING INTO THE MIRROR BUT THEN NOTICES ONE HAIR LEFT. HE PICKS UP THE RAZOR AND GOES TO SHAVE IT OFF WHEN THE PHONE RINGS. NICK JUMPS.
NICK:
ARRRRGGGHHH!
FLASH FORWARD:
NICK (Narrates):
I have always had a very vivid imagination which always seemed to mess something up for me, whether it be hurting myself or just wasting time.
NICK OPENS THE BATHROOM DOOR AND IS WELCOMED BY STEAM, HE WALKS INTO THE BATHROOM AND GRABS A BRUSH, HOLDING IT AS THOUGH IT IS A MICROPHONE.
NICK:
Tonight Matthew, I will be...errm...
FLASH FORWARD:
THE CAMERA MAKES ITS WAY ACROSS THE SINK WHERE THERE IS A MESS OF DEODERANT CANS, SHAVING FOAM CANS, SHAVING FOAM AND OTHER VARIOUS THINGS. IT FINDS IT'S WAY UP TO THE MIRROR AND A REFLECTION OF NICK IS SHOWN IN THE MIRROR WITH A SHAVING FOAM BEARD, SUNGLASSES, A MEDALLION AND IS WEARING A TOWEL. NICK WALKS INTO THE SHOWER AND TURNS IT ON AS HE HOLDS A BRUSH TO HIS FACE.
NICK:
Tonight Matthew, I will be WOOOAAHHH, ARRGGGGHH!
NICK SLIPS INTO THE BATH TUB AND A CRASH IS HEARD AS THE CAMERA LOOKS AT THE BATH TUB WITH THE SHOWER STILL ON AND A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES, A BRUSH, A MEDALLION AND A TOWEL GO FLYING OUT OF THE BATH TUB.
FLASH FORWARD:
NICK IS RUSHING OUT OF THE HOUSE AS HE CHECKS EVERYTHING IS CLOSED.
NICK (Narrating):
I have always been very careful leaving the house, I like to make sure things are right and everything is secure, it is good to feel safe but I think I go a bit over the top and it wastes my time even more...
NICK RUNS TO THE DOOR AND LOCKS IT WITH HIS KEY, HE LOOKS DOWN THE ROAD AND BEGINS WALKING FAST THROUGH THE RAIN.
NICK (Narrating):
One thing I have always been scared of is dogs, I like dogs but they also terrify me and it is all down to a dog down my street called Zippy.
NICK WALKS DOWN THE STREET AND THEN NOTICES A SMALL BLACK AND WHITE DOG WHO STARTS GROWLING AND BARKING AND IT CHASES HIM AS HE SCREAMS, RUNNING DOWN THE STREET.
FLASH FORWARD:
NICK (Narrating):
I usually end up doing stupid things which in turn makes me late and then I end up not being able to do more important things. In this case I hadn't eaten before I came out and was feeling peckish.
NICK WALKS OUT OF A SHOP WITH A CHOCOLATE BAR AND DRINK, HE WALKS UNDER THE SHELTER AND STAYS UNDER IT FINISHING OFF HIS CHOCOLATE BAR AND OPENING HIS DRINK, UNTIL IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE NO CARS COMING. HE MAKES A DASH FOR THE ROAD BUT A SPORTS CAR SPEEDS OUT OF NOWHERE SPLASHING A PUDDLE BUT NICK MANAGES TO JUMP FAR BACK ENOUGH TO NOT GET SPLASHED. NICK'S FACE LOOKS CONCERNED AND HE LOOKS DOWN, THE CAMERA SLOWLY MOVING DOWN TO HIS CROTCH, HIS DRINK HAS GONE ALL OVER THE CROTCH AREA OF HIS PANTS AFTER JUMPING BACKWARDS AND DROPPING THE BOTTLE, SPILLING THE DRINK, MAKING IT LOOK LIKE HE HAS WET HIMSELF.
NICK:
Awww man!
NICK THROWS THE BOTTLE IN THE BIN, SOME CHILDREN WALK PAST AND LAUGH AT HIM, WHEN THEY WALK PAST HE MAKES A FACE AT THEM AND A BIRD CRAPS ON HIS HEAD.
NICK:
I don't believe it! How much worse can this day get!
JUST AS NICK FINISHES SPEAKING A CAR DRIVES PAST AND SPLASHES THE PUDDLE ALL OVER HIM. NICK GETS HIS MOBILE PHONE OUT AND CALLS HIS DATE.
NICK:
Hey Jenny, I'm sorry, I can't make it, I'm feeling a little erm...under the weather.
