‼️ Content Warning: ‼️ These sketches contain offensive, triggering, and dark material. They are satirical and meant to provoke reflection through discomfort. Proceed with caution and curiosity.

What follows are a series of bizarre and darkly humorous vignettes (according to me.) Everyday situations spiral into absurdity, revealing the twisted underbelly of human nature as characters navigate the world.

I’ve pulled out three of my favourites.

Anxious Introvert

INT. Anita's bedroom - Morning

Anita's room is messy. Clothes are strewn about the bed, different pairs of shoes are on the floor. Anita stands in front of her full-length mirror, disappointed with her latest outfit.

She searches for her cell phone but cannot find it, then remembers she can use her Apple Watch to locate it. She listens for the beeping and slowly hones in on the phone, it is on her bed, under several clothing items.

Anita picks up the phone and calls her friend.

ANITA
Hey! Do I have to dress up for your Mom's birthday dinner party thing?

Anita looks worried, it sounds like her friend is crying.

ANITA (cont'd)
Are you ok?

FRIEND
No! I was about to call you. Mom died last night!

ANITA
Oh thank God!

Here’s Your Baby

INT. Private room in hospital - MORNING

In a delivery room. Mom just had a c-section and dad is standing by.

NURSE
Here's your baby. He looks like a downs syndrome troll.


INT. PRIVATE ROOM IN HOSPITAL - NIGHT

NURSE
Here's your baby. For a girl, she's shockingly repulsive.


INT. PRIVATE ROOM IN HOSPITAL - DAY

NURSE
Here's your baby. He's Black. How unfortunate.

A Cry for Help

The teacher just finished taking attendance and she is about to start the first lesson when one student's hand goes up.


MRS. GAYBOTTOM 
Yes, Rebecca?

REBECCA
Last night, when it was thundering and lightning, I got scared and ran to my parents room and I saw Mommy hanging from the ceiling by her neck like this ...

Rebecca recounts the action of how she saw her mom. While some of the children laugh and others look on in astonishment, the teacher tries to regain control of the class.

MRS. GAYBOTTOM
Quiet down everyone! Rebecca please return to your seat.


INT. MRS. GAYBOTTOM'S SECOND GRADE CLASSROOM AT PS 161 - DAY

The class has just returned from lunch. Mrs. Gaybottom is trying to hanging out the math lessons worksheet. 

As soon as she returns to the front of the class and takes her seat behind the desk, She notices that Rebecca has her had up, is waving it frantically and bouncing in her seat.

The other children were focused on their work, but Rebecca was beginning to distract them.

REBECCA
Mrs. Gaybottom! Mrs. Gaybottom!

Mrs. GAYBOTTOM

REBECCA

Mrs. Gaybottom winces and jumps out of her seat, yelling.

MRS. GAYBOTTOM

Mrs. Gaybottom returns to her seat while some of the children snicker to each other. A few others laugh at the interaction.


INT. MRS. GAYBOTTOM'S SECOND GRADE CLASSROOM AT PS 161 - LATER

The bell is a few minutes away from ringing to dismiss class for the day. The children are antsy. Mrs. Gaybottom stands to remind them of a deadline.

Mrs. GaYBOTTOM

Rebecca frantically waves her hand again and interrupts Mrs. Gaybottom

REBECCA

Mrs. Gaybottom silently whispers to herself

Mrs. GAYBOTTOM (V.O.)
Oh God. Please let this be about the lesson.

Mrs. GAYBOTTOM
