Quoted from Grandma Bear No idea what's in the plans. Sadly, I'm too busy too write something myself, but I'll read a few. Hopefully, they won't be all 20 page scripts. I do not have the time to read those. Sorry.

"It's just a one-page script."
"The page is sixty meters long!"

After recent marathon events I hope the page count will be low.

Ha! Says me who has never posted a script to the boards under 10 pages.

Comedy works! Mother Nature’s Joke was one of my favorites.

Steeeeeevvvvveee! Ta, mate. We've been taking a lot of things too seriously, ain't we? Plus Donald Trump is visiting this week (scotland) so need something to laugh our way through the inevitable sh#t show...

Comedy ain't easy.

My favourite genres are thriller, psychological thriller, horror, but my writing generally gravitates to comedy, or at least lighter fare.  

I love watching laugh out loud, slapstick and physical comedy, and observational stuff like Woody Allen did in his early years, but it's not easy to get right.

I learned from Dan's challenge that some of my favourite comedies to watch like: Frasier, Cheers, Friends, King Of Queens, they're really not that funny on the page - there's a lot more drama with comedic moments, and seasoned actors bring them to life.

What programs make you all laugh? Not skit shows like Python, but actual programs billed as sitcoms? Just curious...

Holy samolies!
This thread just smacked an idea into my head. Been having writers block for far too long.

It's going to be about Bill Clinton??? That really is going to limit it.

Peep Show, LC, every time. It was on ABC OR SBS over your way a while back I think, absolutely top notch comedy. The British one mind, not the US attempt. Also Silicon Valley is next level too...

Any good Aussie ones? Kath and Kim? Wog Boys (real thing)? Chris Lilley efforts?

And...14 days left, does this mean the thing goes live today???

Sorry, just realised my own mistake there...it's a OWC, what a nugget

I have an idea for a theme, do I just PM Don or is there some dark religious ceremony I have to perform?

The challenge has already been set, but you can always pm Don and tell him you'd be interested in running an OWC in the future.

Where to begin!

Obviously there is a proper time and place for the ceremony, but there's no harm in gathering the materials ahead of time. Most of them will keep for months in the fridge, except of course for the live chicken.

lol - I'll PM Don and head to the supermarket to start getting the materials.
