Ok, a friend and I are signing up to produce a bi-weekly show on a local station. I was wondering if anyone here has any ideas for what could go into a super awesome show. It will basically be a short skit bit (think snl) but heres the thing..

It will be in claymation.

Were quite crafty in making characters out of clay, (and we don't have a good video camera) so we are going t make everything in the show out of clay. THis puts practically no limits on what we may do in the show. I have a few ideas already, but anything you may have to offer would be helpful.

Just basiaclly anything that would be funny to see on tv, post it.

Nothing's coming to me at this very moment, but my son and I watch a show called "Pingu" that's in claymation. It's really funny, and good for the family (I sound like an advertiser!). If you can check it out, you should. Maybe you'll get some ideas from there.

Well, you can have 4 Friends
a Hippy (long blonde hair with 21st Century Hippy Nation Clothing)
a Goth Girl (black hair.. typical goth adornment)
a Jock (Letterman Jacket, short hair)
a Nerd (big glasses, and baggy pants - not totally stereotypical)
Put in some random Punch lines, Make one of em Really Smart - and Annoying
Work Place Situations work too ( characters at a job )

Well there are a few ways you could do this. First, you could basically make an Andy Milanokis-type show where you have a bunch of random yet amusing skits. Or you could do something like "Clerks: The Series" where you've got recurring characters that have wacky occurances in everyday situations.

Ironically I've written and directed about 6 short films in the past year and a half, and now I'm blanking on ideas for ya. I'll post later when I've got something.

I've actually decided to do something productive rather then simply having a sketch show. (although I had some pretty good ideas.)

I'm going to do a political news show, but not like most other news shows.
I will be announcing bills and movements in the alaskan senate in terms that people can actually understand. I will try to simply outline what happened at an event, or what each document will do. Without giving the bias that is everywhere on TV. Overall I hope to encourage people in my town to get more active politically.

Oh. And you think people will enjoy it? Have you ever seen the Daily Show? You could perhaps do something political and comedic to make it more interesting. Otherwise it seems like you'll just have a show about someone reading a bill in lamen's terms.

Oh man you could do it like Bill Nye the science guy, too. He was amazing when I was a kid. Of course I don't remember half the stuff he explained, but it sure was entertaining!

HOLY CRAP I'M IN YOUR SIG WOWLOLZ. FF SKIN FO LYFE!

You could have to anchormen, one is having problems with his life such as: lost money, lost house, cold; and the other suspiciously compliments those problems:
Anchorman 1: Here is Evening News at 7:00.
Anchorman 2: Thank you for watching. So what's the story?
Anchorman 1: Well it looks though that more identity theft rings are being found each day.
Anchorman 2: Well I don't think they'll find every stolen identity.
Anchorman 1: I hope so, I've been having financial problems lately.
Anchorman 2: Well good news, I won the lottery.
Anchorman 1: But there wasn't a lottery, err, well anyways; prices on real estate have sky rocketed. This means I'll have to go find an apartment now.
Anchorman 2: Good thing I just got a house.
Anchorman 1 Sneezes
Anchorman 2: Bless me.
Anchorman 1: What the—?
Anchorman 2: In other news, I got a new Mercedes Benz.
Anchorman 1: What the hell, I just lost mine.
Anchorman 2: I know, but luckily I got it back.
Anchorman 1: Well looks like it's time for commercials. This is Tom.
Anchorman 2: And so am I, stay tuned.
Anchorman 1: What the fu—!
