He sounds like Mario. He wears a fedora and silk scarf to work.

I am now going to write a sitcom about him. What is your sitcom about?

brilliant

its called "Epsom Downs syndrome"


*hilarious


'Everybody happy!'

'Why you say it like a-that?'


mines about some loser

who's life is so pathetic and meaningless that every little thing makes him want to write a sitcom.
the pilot is about him meeting a new italian guy and falling so deeply in love that only writing a sitcom can save his soul


God?


Well mine is

about a military academy.

It's called Only Schools and Forces

No?...ok.

No wai

Skins is awful....am taking no influence from that (mind you I think i'm too old for it)....


My sitcom is about a 30yr old cripple

who is afraid of black men and is super right wing. Hes goal in life is to keep the woman in the kitche, the blacks in uganda and the terrorists in 3rd world countries. The sub plot is about his son who constantly harrases and bullies gay kids in school whilst forceing himself onto girls in lower school years.

IT WILL BE MASSIVE


ITS MAKING ME HORNY

just thinking about this. my bell end is soaked


in fact

ive just ejaculated over myself


I wrote

a pilot for a show called "Mario's Pizzeria"...it was truly truly terrible


did anyone go

'eh wheresa the tomato?'


far too many

times...


sounds amazing

some choice lines from it if you can remember would be appreciated


Och,I still have it save on my computer at home i think

It was pretty much the most cliché ridden thing you could imagine, it was based in New York, and focused on an Italian-American family (my knowledge of this being mainly based on Rocky), and it was set in a pizzeria funnily enough..

Opening scene was something like

Scene

Man is seen walking to door of pizzeria, he reaches for handle and just as he is about to open the door he hears.

off camera "GETTA OUTTA MY SHOP, GETTA OUTTA MY SHOP!"

a man comes bursting out

the man at the door says "You a customer?"

Man who came bursting out "No ama His Son"

Man at the door says whilst putting hand on side of face - "Mumma Mia!"

Man who came bursting out looks at camera and grins

END SCENE

TITLES ROLL

...you can kinda see why this was never commisioned...


It's verging on sublime

Lets put it on youtube and get some Disers to act it out


haha

...there is a title song aswell.

It would be funny to actually film the pilot for it, it really is that bad.


Up & About

Leonard Up and Jeff About share a flat together, in which they have trouble getting out of bed in the morning.

The series is a ratings disaster, and years later I spend my days in the pub railing against the BBC to anyone who'll listen.


High and Dry

Steve High and his best mate Tony Dry share a studio flat, and whilst Steve is forever trying anything he has read in an attempt to get high (drying out banana skins, etc.) his best mate Tony can't stand getting wet at all. Funny AND coincidental, seeing as their surnames relate to what they like being/would rather remain.

Starring Adrian Edmondson and Martin Clunes.


Cops & Robbers

Mick Cops is coming to terms with life as a retired policeman in a sleepy village in Wiltshire. Clancy Robbers is tired of his life of crime and is ready to settle down.

Hilarity ensues when it is revealed that the two are now neighbours. Further comedy is added with a plot twist in which Clancy steals Cops's identity and defrauds him of his entire life savings.


Planes, Trains and Automobilés

Gerry Planes is a retired actuary living with his life partner, Desmond Trains. Due to a mix-up at their local foster home, they end up adopting Cesar Autmobilés, a 19 year old Cuban who just loves pottery!

Subtitles


Freaking Out

Jeremy Freaking is gay and he's ready to come out of the closet. He's also mad.


Ball & Chain

With their double garages, uPVC fascias and dedicated utility rooms, Ball and Chain look to have it all; however, now they've both retired, their wives are filling their days with tedious DIY tasks - when all Colin and Barry want to do is go for a quiet mixed grill!

The sitcom follows our heroes' efforts to elude "the old ball and chain", and the ever-more elaborate stories they spin to escape endless afternoons of bird-table construction and flag-pole installation.

Starring him who played Onslow in 'Keeping Up Appearances', and, I don't know, Bill Nighy.


Spanner In The Works

Jackie Spanner is the new girl on the block; she's the ambitious, go-getting Lead Inspector of Health and Safety at the McBastard Biscuit Works in Dumfries.
But Jackie's by-the-book, evidence-based approach alienates some of the biscuit top-brass - will she fight her corner, or will she crumble?
