<i>FOB�S Tattoo-CCS

�Alright I am gonna draw Kermit the Frog on your back�

This was an okay sketch, this felt like one of those you need to see performed more than one that needs to be read. I liked the line about parking for turtle lovers only that�s funny. Okay sketch CCS</i>

I felt I should respond because I approached this sketch very differently than my previous ones. Most of my sketches involve some exaggerated plot or premise that pervades the entire scene. Perhaps someone's husband is being eaten by a shark, or maybe flirting to get out of a speeding ticket leads to a ridiculous string of sexual encounters. My world is typically crazy world. I've been trying to step back a little, try to find humor in other ways. In my Jake Something sketch a few weeks back, I tried creating a sketch around a guy who just said bizarre stuff but it probably didn't actually happen. He's probably just a wacko. I needed my crutch though, and scenes from his bizarre tale were acted out.

I should confess, this sketch originally was supposed to take place in crazy premise land as well, but I decided the original premise was lame and found I had a neat juxtaposition of characters. So I kept at it, trying to just let Cobra and FOB riff while the couple, in their quasi-adventurous state, alternately found the insults delightful or were to oblivious to know better. While there's a few holes where I would have placed better lines in a punch up and the plot/premise is certainly lacking, I feel I created a somewhat funny environment that, should this have been for the actual SNL and received good response, could be repeated indefinitely.
