Simply Super by 0 - Short, Comedy - Newbie writers threaten the Simply Scripts bastion with their methods. Is there a hero out there to stop them? Well...possibly lol. 6 pages pdf - pdf, format

This is the only OWC where you can get away with it

That was funny, I enjoyed i and right up my alley in humor

Did you write it Jeff or maybe it was an Australian

Good job made me laugh

Writer,

Good show. Loved your opening paragraph - sorry, action block. Great idea to use An SS member as your hero, and spot on in some areas. It made me smile. My second one in and this is pretty good!

Can't open this one, all I get is a black page in acrobat reader and an error message.

The only thing I'd change would be the name SPACE GHOST!

Tried to open this one and also got a black page but no error message. I was able to download it and read it.

I like it a lot but that may be because I'm a newbie here myself. Really making an effort now to participate.

Anyway, just one little objective comment . . . on the first page ALEX is the character speaking four times in a row. Was that what you wanted? I was a little confused.

Enjoyed it. Thanks.

Funny little riff on the opening Batman scene, with the twisted, misshapen Bushman filling in for the dark knight.  "Slurp on my pork sword" is the early contender for line of the challenge.

script opened for me with no problem. Some generic characters (SS Dude, SS Girl) didn't please me in the read due to generics, a character gives a synopsis of a story which makes a mouthful, and I can't get into this. I'll try again later if I'm in a better frame of mind- but for now, it reads very last minute thought up on the fly.

I thought they said and did random stuff. Like when one of them handed the other the copy of his short script - didn't get what for. Or when they say that Bush is gonna be after them.

Then again my attention wasn't in it - I don't like this kind of scripts. So maybe you better just disregard my post.

It opened for me too.  Jeff, if you wrote this, I will be very upset.

it was original and it was funny at points.  It was odd.  It read as a 6 page story, not as a joke told in 6 pages or less.

7/10

Didn’t open for me, I just got a black screen. If anyone has the same issue, just choose the ‘Open With Different Viewer’ option or download it and it works fine.

A Simply Script Spoof, I loved it, although only people from this forum would really appreciate it. ‘I’m out by page one man’ made me lol for real.

Okay - this one - so far - has gotten the biggest laugh for me. Sure, it's audience is going to be somewhat limited to SS ers - but I definitely was not out on page 1. I quite liked this. My favorite so far.

I'm out by page one, sorry.

Ha, kinda liked this one.  Could have done with the SS Dude and Girl having names but overall it was funny and pretty true too lol

Smiled and chuckled throughout the read, I know it's all in-jokes for us, but hey, seemed perfect for this OWC

Good effort

HaHa!!  Nicely done.  I miss these old SS pissers.  Some funny lines here...actually some LOL lines.

Love it!!

0,

Some will love this. Many do, it seems. Just not for me.

Good luck.

Glenn.

It's a genius satire and pure comedy, I am new so I had to look for this Bush dude (dreamscale?) and voila, he was out by page 2 on my OWC entry, and i get the jokes.

Very funny stuff, lots of LoLs. thx for the laf

Ah yes...the bush dude, is indeed Dreamscale.  And I'm 99.9% sure who wrote this one.

Ah shit, man, pls don't take offence of my comment, it's all fun. You are the hero here imo, makes noobs rethink their approach and the seriousness of the craft, while not taking ourselves too seriously. It's all gud dude.

Offense?  Hell no.  Peeps may hate me, but they definitely love to hate me.  

Tried a couple of times now to slog my way through this script and I have to skip each time. It's not delivering. It's smart but should be a lot smarter.

And the denim shorts return...

As mark says, at least you can get away with this in this OWC.

Out by page one man, I suppose it beats Slugman !

I have about 20 guesses who wrote this. Doesn't matter. Still like it, even though some of the humor was pretty hit and miss.  Still quite a bit of fun.

Verdict: Consider

This was better than I expected and reasonably well-written for basically a lark. The two biggest punchlines (OUT BY ONE PAGE MAN and the finale) landed as well. I chuckled... in my head.

Not much to say about this one. A bit of fun, but kinda old hat. I've read more than my share of these scripts over the years... including Simply BBQ... which I forgot about until now... which I just looked up again. Still posted! Thanks for reminding me.

I think this is one for the longer standing members of the site, didn't get all the references myself.  Still was pretty good, been around here long enough to see the "Tarantino" defence used a few times, that was funny.

Only getting a black screen for this one

Too many insider jokes who only relate to this site's users. Presentation is good. Probably a story about amateur screenwriters and gurus in general; industrialization of our craft and the constant exploitation of the naïve; could enlarge the target audience, make a point and even succeed. But I think it wasn't your goal… so, good for what it is.

Doesn’t seem sensible to give much input on a pisser, so I’ll just say I enjoyed it. Knew ‘out by page one’ would have to be a punchline sooner or later.
