Quoted from stevie Bro, if you took the time to check there's about 8 other scripts with more 'comments' than AGOL. And I consider giving up 3 hours of sleep time in the day - that's normally when I rest up for work that night - to finish writing this script as an effort. Comedy requires effort. It ticked off every one of the challenge requirements - more so than a few others - and did have a story. Ok, once I got the inspiration to use Dracula in this way, it became a perfect vehicle to have the Bunnyman ending so the Bunnyman Trilogy could be closed ( well, maybe....lol). Sorry if I wasted anyone's time with this. Obviously didn't waste Don's as he accepted it, cheers mate. Maybe the next challenge could have a pure comedy genre and we can see the effort required then. I have no prob with people hating my work and not reading it. But never diss my effort. Ever The I picked 4 of these scripts as a Recommend..  Anyone who's work I didn't comment on feel free to PM me and I will read and review, cheers

Mate, you have to appreciate that your audience, using the characters you did, would be pretty limited. Especially the way you did it. Jeff for example, if you made the character a characiture, take all of his traits and escalate them to farcical levels, that would be funny. I don't even know Ryan, so not sure how that could work...

I'm all for comedy, but you have to make me laugh. This one didn't do it for me. Not for a lot of other people. Probably the same people that found in one of the other comedies funny. You can't blame it on anything else aside from your dramatic choices.

Yeah I only did it as a horror/comedy Dustin as the original premise was too open and didn't inspire me.

I'm surprised though that as a Brit your sense of humour seems a bit muted which I've noticed on other comedy scripts? The English have given the world the greatest comedy of all time - Monty Python, The Two Ronnies, Balckadder, Fawlty Towers to name a few.

Our American friends do sometimes struggle with the English comedy. But as an Aussie we have a great grasp of all the comedies, although for some reasons I can never fathom why 'Friends' became so huge as I don't find it funny. But I love US shows like Drew Carey and King Of Queens. Most are crap though.

Aussie comedy can be cringeworthy at times. There were 2 shows in the 80's/ early 90's that were great: The D Generation and Fast Foward. Eric Bana kicked off his career in the latter.  

Anyway it's all subjective but I get baffled when people sometimes don't get the humour in what is very funny work lol.

Comedy is a wide field and if you want to write comedy which 90% of the normal audience find funny, you really have to write something stupid enough for the average viewer to laugh at. Some boobs in it and you've got a hit. That's why I think most of the comedy shows on air are really dumbed down for the mainstream and I can't laugh about such nonsense. That's also why I wouldn't ever want to write a comedy script.

Monty Python rules though

The funniest movies I've ever seen are two european films with Jean Reno, not sure if they were ever published in the U.S., but there was a 3rd part which was made for the U.S. market which was basically a dumbed down remake of part 1.

Part 1: "Les Visiteurs" / "Die Besucher" (The visitors)


Part 2: "Les Visiteurs 2" / "Die Zeitritter" (Time knights)

My Swedish senses like British humor better than American too. There are some comedies I have laughed really hard while watching though. I remember when I saw Planes, Trains and Automobiles in the theater with my family, I almost fell out of my seat and into the isle because I was laughing so hard. I can't write comedy though. In fact, I've been told to not even try it again.  

Les visiteurs....class. I think it was copied.

I have written one or two comedies for a OWC...never again, unless that is required.

I hope one day we have one of these, or the OWC is split into two camps to allow the comedies to stand on their own.

Re The. gathering...it's just the in house nature that puts me off. Bit too narrow.

Can we change our votes? I read one that I would like to add to CONSIDER from Not Read.

We should consider outing ourselves soon....you know.

Hi, I'm Bill

I was drunk when I posted my script and I didn't have long to write it. I'm sorry. My grammar was off...

Hi bill...they say...

Ok,  I wrote....blah do blah

Cheers folks

Ok, think I've read them all. Left comments on all of the ones I read anyway.

Left out two on purpose, as we found out who wrote them.

Some nice stuff here, I enjoyed it. Two stand out for me above the rest.

Sorry, I didn't mean to diss your effort and I apologise for any upset caused. I do have a sense of humour and love Monty Python, Not The Nine O'Clock News, The Young Ones, Fast Show, Little Britain and everything in-between.

When I'm reading through lots of scripts on limited time and trying to review them, I sometimes get annoyed at pissers (or ones that seem like them anyway) but I should just ignore them and not react.

It would be nice to have a comedy OWC then everyone can release their humour.

All good Mark! Like I said, got no prob with perps refusing to read mine or anyone's stuff ( same as what I do with ones that are over the page limit). Just no way in the wide will I accept any criticism for a perceived lack of effort. If I don't deem a script of mine good enough or not funny then it stays off the boards lol.

Anyone wants a read PM me and I'm on it!

Just voted. 3 Recs and a few considers, I can't remember now. I know my scoring system needs better development. I kinda just pull a number from my head atm and it isn't working too well. It depends on my mood at the time. A 6 one day could be a 7 the next... and even vice-versa once the story has properly settled in my mind. So the scoring system I used hasn't played much of a part.

My 3 recs (just in case the writers want to know now) and in alphabetical order:

Puta Grasa
The Creature from the Blue Lagoon
The Phantom's Song

The sea blob one I dropped to a consider in the end... but I'm shocked to see two comedies in the running. You've got to be good to do comedy well, so well done on that.

A few other considers that I can't remember... oh, The Red Riding Hood thing, that was one. The one that opened with the guy getting into a taxi, that got a consider too.

If there was such a thing as a whiner award then I think that they should go to, DJS and Stevie. Both outed themselves early thereby encouraging sympathy from the more sympathetic members.

Edit: How could I forget about Prussian-gate. Maybe it's because I just wanted to. If ever there was a gold whiner award, he'd get it for that performance. B-b-but I wrote a story that actually made sense... what more do you want from me!? blub, blub, blub. Classic stuff.

My 3 recommends were:

Puta Grasa
The Phantom's Song
Not Born a Monster.

I read 17.

My recommends were:

New Order
S.H.E. Frankenstein

and several considers.

Quoted from MarkRenshaw My 3 recommends were: Puta Grasa The Phantom's Song Not Born a Monster.

Those are my favourites, as well.

My votes are in.

3 recommendations and a few considers.
