Comedy Sketch ideas
I have five ideas for comedy sketches.
NO TALKING IN DETENTION
In high school, three friends (Jake, Leo, and Sarah) are in detention and are told not to talk in detention and the teacher, Mr. Miller, writes "No talking in detention" on the board. The students tell the teacher that he shouldn't be talking in detention, either, since he did say no talking in detention. This leads to an argument between the students and the teacher. Jake says, "If the rule is no talking in detention, and you're in the room, and you're talking... then you broke the rule the moment you said it." Mr. Miller says it only applies to students, but Sarah says, "Technically, it doesn't since you didn't say no students talking in detention. You just said no talking in detention. You should have been more specific with the rules." Eventually, Mr. Miller gets very confused about the "no talking" rule, and says "Fine. Have it your way. No talking in detention. Not you. Not me. Starting NOW." After five seconds of silence, Mr. Miller accidentally drops his pen off his desk, says "sorry" as he bends over to pick it up, and realized he just talked. Leo says, "You're only making things worse for yourself... and for us!" The argument continues, until the principal (played by Kenan Thompsan) shows up and makes things worse. He says that NO ONE is allowed to talk in detention, and realized that he himself talked in detention and puts both Mr. Miller and HIMSELF to detention. Eventually, Mr. Miller gets confused and allows the students to leave.
FINAL DESTINATION
Based on the 2000 film Final Destination. After Alex gets brought in by FBI agents Weine and Schreck because he predicted the plane would explode upon takeoff and it did, Weine and Schreck believe that Alex can predict the future and ask him other questions about predicting the future, including "What are the winning lottery numbers?", and "Who will win the Super Bowl?". Alex says, "That's not how it works. I can't see sports scores or winning numbers. I can only see death." Right on cue, three more FBI agents (Reed, Gomez, and Miller) walk in and also want to know the future. Gomez asks him when the end of the world is and what the cause of it will be. He replies, "I told you, that's not how it works. I'm not a fortune teller!", which makes the FBI agents believe he won't cooperate. Alex says, "Can we please stop asking questions about the future and stay focused on the plane explosion?!", but the FBI insists they would like to know the future. Eventually, Reed says that his wife is seven months pregnant and wants to know their child's gender beforehand. Shortly after that, Miller wants to know which movies will win an Oscar, but Alex insists that he doesn't spoil the Oscars, believing the FBI would spoil the Oscars after he did and ruin the event. Miller says that Alex has a point and goes back to asking about the lottery. The sketch ends with Alex groaning.
BRONY
A bully named Byron is making fun of a nerd named Mike, but Mike insults Byron back by saying his name is an anagram for "Brony" and assumes Byron is a brony. Byron declines this, and Mike says that it was a coincidence that "Byron" is an anagram for "Brony", and searches Byron's backpack for any My Little Pony toys, but doesn't find any, much to his surprise. Byron still declines that he's a brony. Mike believes Byron's locker is decorated with My Little Pony posters, but Byron opens the locker to find no My little Pony posters, much to Mike's shame. After more arguing, Byron takes off his jacket, wanting to fight Mike, only to forget he was wearing a Rainbow Dash t-shirt underneath it. Mike and other students laugh at Byron, who confesses that he IS a brony. Byron says he doesn’t wanna be a bully anymore if it means all the students call him "Byron the brony". Byron and Mike become friends.
CAMP KILLER
Seven people (Gary, Chad, Sarah, Martha, Kevin, Steve, and Brenda) on a camping trip are hiding from the killer. Kevin says they should stay together, but Brenda says they should split up. Chad says, "If we split up, there's a good chance one of us is gonna get killed." only for Sarah to say, "Exactly! If we stay together, he can kill all of us at once!". This leads to all seven of them arguing. Eventually, they decide to settle it with a vote. Three people vote to stay together, and three more vote to split up, while Gary is indecisive, believing everyone will hate him if he makes the wrong decision. They persuade him be the tiebreaker, but before Gary could make his decision, the killer kills him, and Chad says, "Forget staying together! Everybody split up!" and everyone screams and splits up.
THE MEME-ING OF LIFE
Four contestants compete on a game show where the host, Trent Ding, shows a meme and one contestant has to guess which of his/her three rivals posted the meme. If they guess correctly, they get a point. If they guess incorrectly, the person who posted the meme gets a point. But the memes get more and more personal as the game goes on.
