Brainstorm thread

[Sabotagee]

This may be weird, but I'm in a comedy sketch class, and as I get more and more into it, I'll need to come up with fresh, new ideas. Sometimes, they may just not be funny, and sometimes they may just be too weird.

The reason for this post is that recently, we had to come to class with 2 ideas for our sketch to be written the following week. I read the one I liked, and it received mediocre response. Then, as an afterthought, I read the one all the other people I spoke to liked. That, naturally, was the winner.

So, I can generate the ideas and sketches, but I apparently don't know a good one when I see it.

My suggestion - post ideas or things that need working out. Say you have an idea for a short story about a guy with a stick in his arm. But, you're stuck. Maybe in this brainstorm thread, people could bounce ideas back. Anyway, it's a suggestion, just seeing if there's interest. (Maybe there's already a thread like this, and if so, I should be beaten).

Thanks!

just be careful you don't give a $1,000,000 movie idea to someone else!

Very good idea indeed.
What do you think of a story with a man that has no legs, and walks on his hands every where he goes?

True, but the writing out the idea is where the money comes from - how many sports movies of a rag-tag team have been made? How many are GOOD? Some, but not all. The onese that weren't so good weren't written very well. So, I ain't too worried.

JRVA, I presumed you were serious, in which case that story of man walking on his hands could be VERY interesting - ya got inspirational, tears, the whole ball of wax.

Ok, here is the first part of the story

Sitting on the back porch, watching girls go by, me and Handy Andy sat, I can tell no lie. We were quite a pair us two, him and Lefty lou, you see he had no legs this guy, and I had arms two few.

Lefty lou the town called me, cause I could kick a ball, further than a football field, higher than a tree. Handy Andy was my friend, how he got his name, was because he used his hands to run and jump, he put most men to shame.

He ran around the town and climbed, the highest flights of stairs,
Wearing gloves he made himself, out of some pigs ears. He could beat most people quick, in a foot hand race, cept for one called Leftty lou, he could'nt match my pace.

One day we bought a used auto, from the drivers ed, Andy drove and I pushed on the brake,when the light turned red. To see us coming down the road, It sure was a sight, If I looked to see a girl, sometimes we ran the light.
