Open Mike

INT. FRONT ROOM - DAY

we see an open coffin with a old man inside it. beneath the coffin are worded flowers that say "goodbye Mike"

mourners are passing the coffin paying there last respects to Mike.The last people to pass the coffin is the mans wife and Daughter. his daughter takes an mp3 player out of her bag she puts the little head phones in to his ears and she scrolls down the mp3 player chooses "frank Sinatra I did it my way" and presses the play button. the Daughter takes a hold off her Mothers arm and they both walk out closing the door quietly behind them.

suddenly the music on the mp3 player begins its not frank Sinatra it's the prodigy "smack my bitch up" the old man opens his eyes and begins to jig around inside the coffin he lerches out of the coffin and begins to break-dance around the front room.his body not being up to much pops and cracks like bubble wrap.he is head spinning and doing one handed hand stands running up the wall and back flipping off it.

suddenly the door handle is pulled down. the dead man back flips back in to his coffin. the batteries run out in the mp3 player as he shuts his eyes. the mans wife and a friend walk over to the coffin and look the wife's friend comments.

friend
"eh up Edith I didn't expect
him to have that much colour
in his face."

the man's wife and her friend walk out of the front room and shut the door. Mike smirks.

THE END

Nigel this ones a miss son, no coconut no bullshit about reworking as Rmabo says to the sheriff "Let it go'let it go!"

hello ted.

I think it might make a good freaky music video type of thing. Whistling nnocently

Nigel I wouldn't try and kid you and I am rarely nasty (You have to watch how you spell that)
This just didn't do it for me, someone else could come on and like it! But as I'm the only one moving round in the basement I felt it my duty to say something.

I'll never lie and I could be polite and say its ok but nothing gets learnt from that.

I miss the coconut every second or third shot on a good day it's just that I don't really get much stick and I don't get that much feedback either so its guesswork on my part.

But when stuffs up and you look at it, you know in your heart of hearts and for me this sketch is worst than Hitler!

Sorry ted you have lost me buddy I only said its more towards the music video side of things. I'm not getting at you for not liking it mate and nor would i.

Quite like it as an idea. Like you say, I could see it working as a music video or an advert (although kinda tasteless for an advert).

No probs Nigel, I'd hate to offend

No probs Nigel, I'd hate to offend

I quite liked it up to the point where the wrong music started to play and he began to move zombie-like. But it didn't move on from there.
The second half needs something better to happen.
