TITLE: Frank’s RedHot – Every Food Commercial :30

TYPE OF SKETCH: List Sketch, commercial

HOW I FELT:

I loved the zany situations all the people were in asking about if they could put hot sauce on stuff.

WHAT WORKS FOR ME:

I enjoyed that the first four beats were either a social faux pas or violating some social norm or rule.

The last most heightened beat of the game was a #blackout reveal!

1. Cheering for an opposing team

   • everyone around him is in a different colored jersey and they throw the mentioned foods at him

2. Stealing co-worker's lunch

   • WITH the co-worker there in the background! lol.

3. Stealing from a vending machine

   • In ‘front of’ the janitor polishing the floors

4. Streaking at a game

5. Crushed under a boulder (reveal doesn't have food, and a buzzard shadow circles!)

6. Eating a live octopus looking thing

7. Astronaut eating, reveal getting eaten by: Alien

STRUCTURE/ EXPOSITION

Pov: you can put hot sauce on anything, crazy things even

Who: various people

What: eating or wanting to eat food

Where: various

Game: it’s while breaking a norm, or in a bad situation.

Premise based improv scene initiation:

Hey let’s put hot sauce on food we obtained in a questionable way.

TONE: the tone is very heavy on the cartoon, zany side of the scale here.

Commercials are not always great at comedy but this one is a good textbook example of a short list sketch.
