Short sketches...

These are all very short and range from the silly to the sick - so apologies in advance. DISCLAIMER: No-one was harmed in the making of these sketches.

(1)
WE SEE A MIDDLE-AGED COUPLE IN THEIR NIGHT–GOWNS SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON A COUCH. THE LIGHTS ARE LOW AND THE TV IS ON IN THE BACKGROUND.

WIFE
(STOKING HER HUSBAND’S LEG) We’ve been married 15 years now and I can’t remember the last time we experimented in bed. What do you say?

HUSBAND
(SMILING) How can I refuse?

CUT TO COUPLE IN BED. THE WOMAN IS HOLDING A GUINEA PIG WHILE THE HUSBAND IS INJECTING IT WITH A VERY LARGE NEEDLE.

(2)
WE SEE THE SAME COUPLE SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE COUCH AGAIN.

HUSBAND
(SEDUCTIVELY) You know what I would like to do right now?

WIFE
What dear?

HUSBAND
Take you over the table, that’s what.

WIFE
(EXCITED) God – yes please!

CUT TO HUSBAND TAKING HIS WIFE BY THE HAND AS THEY BOTH STEP ONTO A DINING CHAIR AND UP ONTO THE TABLE, WALK ACROSS IT AND STEP DOWN THE OTHER SIDE.

(3)
WE SEE THE SAME COUPLE SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE COUCH ONCE MORE.

WIFE
We haven’t had full-blown sex for ages – what do you say?

HUSBAND
You’re on – let’s go upstairs.

CUT TO HUSBAND AND WIFE LYING NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE BED – BOTH WITH AN INFLATABLE SEX DOLL ON TOP OF THEM.

(4)
ONCE AGAIN, THE SAME HUSBAND AND WIFE ON COUCH SCENE. THIS TIME THE HUSBAND IS WEARING FULL DOCTOR’S GEAR AND THE WIFE HAS A SEXY NURSE OUTFIT ON.

HUSBAND
This dressing up idea of yours is fantastic darling.

WIFE
Glad you like it honey – now shut up and stroke me.

HUSBAND RIPS OPEN HER NURSES TOP TO REVEAL SOME FLESH THEN PULLS OUT FROM BEHIND HIM TWO RESUSCITATION PADS WITH WIRES LEADING OUT OF SHOT. WE HEAR A LOUD BEEP AS HE TOUCHES HER WITH IT AND HER WHOLE BODY JERKS. SHE GOES LIMP AND ONE SIDE OF HER MOUTH IS SEEN TO DROOP DOWN.


:D

I like the simpler ones best, like 'over the table'.

I like the experimenting one, but think it should be worded slightly differently - "I've been thinking, we've been married a long time now, would you be against a little experimentation in the bed room?" You know, maybe making her sound a little coy, and maybe almost embarrassed to ask.

simple and funny. Like the table one best. think i saw a cartoon in a national paper of the first one; not a guinea pig mind, but some test tube bottles/ bunsen burner etc.

Lol. I like the Experiment and Table. There's another recurring theme series here. Great stuff

Alright Andy

Good stuff. Very funny. Last one borders on boundaries of taste, methinks, so be careful if you submit it anywhere :)

Dan

Yeah Good Andy

LOL Experiment one in particular and I guessed the ending plumping for bunsen etc and not animals; but still very good visually I think.

AS GJ said, the less complicated ones I felt were stronger too.

Where were you when they were writing Man/Woman? Its had 1 good sketch in two series you've got 4 good sketches in one post.

Thanks fot the positive feedback guys. There's more where these came from but thought I would throw a few in to see what you thought. Wasn't sure if the last one was a bit too sick but I like the idea of having a range of outcomes to not only keep the viewer guessing but to also help prevent them getting too repetitive.
The table one seems to have gone down best which surprised me as I thought it might have been a little TOO silly - just shows you why putting things on here for feedback can be worth it.
Cheers,
Andy.
