Skit based off a joke i read here.
I read a joke here a couple days ago and figured i'd like to write it out in script format in expand it a little bit for sketch comedy. I think adapting jokes to a visual medium can be a lot of fun. If you read the joke i'm sure you'll recognize it, if you haven't i encourage you to find it. Sorry about the formatting, this is as close as I could get to proper format without spending an exorbatant amount of time on formatting. Any questions, comments, suggestions, are extremely welcome.
EXT. ROAD SIDE - DAY A pair of reformed PRIESTS stand by the side of the road, one waving his arms and the other waving a sign reading “THE END IS NEAR! TURN AROUND NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!”. They appear to be preaching about the end of the world. A sedan rounds the curve, coming into view of the Priests. INT. SEDAN - DAY A MAN and a WOMAN are being cuddly. MAN Oh just wait until we get to the hotel. WOMAN (seductively) I hope your wife won’t mind. MAN Oh she won’t mind, believe me. WOMAN Look at those priests! They look crazy. The priests start waving their arms furiously, trying to get their attention. MAN Fuck ‘em. EXT. ROAD SIDE - DAY The sedan rounds the curve out of site of the priests. A few moments later an explosion is heard. The Priests look at each other and sigh loudly. Moments later a HIPPY VAN rounds the curve, coming into sight of the Priests. Again they start waving their arms to get their attention. INT. HIPPY VAN - DAY One HIPPY is smoking a joint while the DRIVER is driving. There’s two flower girls in the back seat, blitzed out of their minds. The Hippy hands the Driver the joint as the priests come into view. HIPPY Dude, check out those guys! DRIVER I bet they’d lay off the doom and gloom if they had some of our shrooms! HIPPY Dude you rhymed! DRIVER I totally did! Sweet! The flower girls giggle incoherently. EXT. ROAD SIDE - DAY The Priests futilely wave their arms. Failing to get Hippy’s attention, the van rounds the curve of the road out of sight. Moments later another explosion is heard. The priests sigh at each other. A minutes later a BIKER CONVOY drive around the curve into sight of the priests. They’re evil. They’re drinking whiskey while driving and there’s several scared women hanging onto the backs of the Harleys. One BIKER drags a body in a sack behind him. Others wave guns and booze bottles around. The Priests wave their arms and sign to get the attention of the bikers. They get their attention, and are greeting with a torrent of “Fuck You!”s and other obscenities. Beer and whiskey bottles fly at the Priests and one breaks on the sign, beer spilling everywhere. The Biker Convoy eventually leaves, going around the curve out of sight of the priests. Moments later, a torrent of successive explosions are heard. The priests sigh to eachother again. After a moment: PRIEST ONE I was thinking... PRIEST TWO Yes brother? PRIEST ONE I was thinking that maybe we should just put up a sign saying, “The Bridge is Out”. Priest Two nods in agreement. FADE TO BLACK. |
