Whoever wrote this you at least got your title right - sheesh..

Not a bad script all in all as far as two page scripts go..

A tad violent to say the least..

Thought the humor was pretty good, epescially the black screen and titles with the explanaition why you didn't show a Muslim Prophet, very amusing..

Shame about Leslie Neilson, poor guy..

okay for a little giggle..

I chuckled at your use of the violence, besides that I don't really know what the point of this was...which means that was the point which means I did understand it.

Wasn't that Muhammad-cow thingy on Family Guy last week?


Be excellent to each other

James pulls a shot gun out of his pants?! Wow! That’s the first time I ever heard of that! -- hahaha

James shot off Leslie’s leg and then Leslie gets up and runs with his arm missing -- hahaha - that didn’t make any sense. You’re crazy!

This was random and weird. But it made me laugh. My guess is this is Andrew's.

Roger, I laughed at the cow thing! Should've used a pig instead, would've been more in your face unless you were afraid to offend any Muslims, haha.

Other than that, I didn't really get it.

Format seemed OK though.

This was another strange one. The Leslie Neilson bit was mildly amusing but more bizarre than genuinely funny. Kinda like a less funny Monty Python and the Holy Grail sketch. The cow bit was funny. I know South Park did it first but they didn't use a cow. Anyway, I don't really know what to say. Okay I guess but these one page scripts don't really make a lot of sense.

Is this week's challenge about randomness? WOW! Script number 2, for me, and I'm sitting here looking extremely puzzled!!

So, mr/miss/mrs anonymous... this was short, and weird. I mean, I appreciate the last line fitting in with the challenge, but then the rest of it was so random, it left me feeling like this ->  

Not a bad attempt, don't get me wrong, but so extremely short, with parts that could have been developed further. I didn't really like it or dislike it, because it was too short. It needs more work, because at 2 pages, I didn't personally bond with any part of this script, sorry.

Just when you think you read the weirdest script of the challenge... you find a weirder one. I liked the violence displayed against Leslie with no aparent reason, that had me chuckling.

The story didn't make sense though, but I guess I can hold that against the author since -judging by the title- this piece was not supposed to make sense at all.

Hahaha totally random, weird and funny! The jihad joke reminded me of the random flashback Family Guy jokes, that's a good thing!
Too bad Leslie Nielsen had to get it in this one, but hey it isn't reality!

Well, the title was aptly chosen. It really wasn't that funny, but I'll give it that it was random. However, I laughed out loud when you replaced Muhammad with a cow and said as much in the subtitles. That was hilarious. Everything else was just pointless...but that's what it claims to be.

And in response to earlier threads about the cow bit, that was completely Monty Python. Not only was it a cow, but the supertitles reminded me of the opening titles to Holy Grail.

I had thought that I had posted on this but apparently not...
I thought it was funny, I liked how it was just so Random as though it was an odd dream.  I did not like the flashback though, for two reasons.  One reason is that it stopped the humorous dream like flow that the script had.  The other reason is that I just saw that joke on South Park, and I feel as though you just plucked it out of the show.  I could be mistaken though.

Anyway, I thought it was so-so.

I liked the cow replacing Muhammad. However shooting Leslie Nielson? Come on that's one sacred cow you shouldn't touch. Anyway, hats off to you for having a crack at writing a script in a week, I haven't been game to try it yet. I also thought it was good how you didn't cop out and have it turn out to just be a dream. 5/10
