NWF #4 April Fooled

new skit time! Or new short scene I guess? I dunno, gotta work out the Mr. Moral idea more. alternate title for this one is "April Fucked" whattya think? I hope this one isn't lame because of the idea behind it, I know it's been done a million times, but I hope that this plays with it enough to come across as fresh and or funny. When I presented the idea to my friend Shaun he said it sounded more like a Twilight Zone episode, but that it could be funny. So here's hoping I accomplished a little of both. When you read it I think you'll see what I'm talking about, i don't want to say it now because that's all you will think about, let me know what you think, and any suggestions. Again this is pretty much a first draft. Hope you like it!

April Fooled

Mr. Moral: April fools day, a day for practical jokes and merryment. But can the pranks on this day for jokesters go too far? People say it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. For some people it's not fun until someone loses an eye. This is the story of two friends and coworkers, Mark and Jenna, they work here in this office where their coworkers are about to play the ultimate prank on them, in our little story entitled “April Fooled” Exits

An office, 3 men, Gary, Gerry, and George, enter talking to each other about a prank that was just pulled on Gary. They wear business casual and Gary is wet.

George: Oh man, I can't believe you fell for the exploding kitten trick for a third time Gary!

Gerry: Yeah Gary you'd think that you would have learned after last years free kittens explosion.

Gary: I just wanted something to give my love to...

George: Oh whattya gonna do, cry about it?

Gary: That kitten exploded in my hand George, how did you do that, how COULD you do that?

Gerry: Actually it's my trick I make all the cats he uses, they're just strays Gary, calm down ya April Fool. They only explode with water, it's not gonna kill ya.

Gary: Well now I be wet at work for the rest of the day!

George: Oh man, it was too good, you should have seen your face when the kitten exploded! (Gary has a look of horror and sadness on his face) Yeah! Like that!

Gary: Yeah, well you'll get yours soon enough!

George: Well I can't wait! In the meantime are you guys still on for the prank we're pulling on Mark and Jenna?

Gerry: Oh yeah, Gerald says he's got something pretty great cooked up, but I think ours will be better (Giggles)

Gary: Yeah, I'm in.

George: (Looking out window) Shh! I think they're coming!

Gerry: Remember the plan!

Gary & George: Right!

They all go to their desks and start working. Mark and Jenna walk in looking flustered and disheveled

Jenna: Oh my god, you guys will not believe what just happened to us! (No response) Guys? Hello?

Mark: Gary? Gerry? George? Hello, guys! Seriously, something insane just happened to us!

Gerry starts to giggle

Jenna: Oh, dammit. Mark, it's april first

Mark: So....oh

Jenna: Yeah, this is one of their little april fools jokes, real mature guys! We had a real situation, and you guys are ignoring us?

Mark: (Yelling into Gary's ear) Hey I slept with your mom last night, she said she is disappointed in your life decisions

Jenna: Maybe not your strongest material

Gary: Did you guys hear something?

Gerry: Nope.

George: I didn't hear anything.

Jenna: Real funny dicks, seriously you won't believe what happened to us, we almost got into this huge car accident! Someone messed with our brakes!

Mark: Really!? No response? Our lives were in danger, but you guys want to stick to your little joke?

Gerry: Oh man, what is taking Mark and Jenna so long? I thought they were here, but I guess not. (Laughs)

Jenna: You and that stupid laugh. God dammit.

Gary: Come on Jenna, let's just work, soon it will all be over.

They go to their desks and start working, Gerry walks over to Mark and “Spills” some coffee on him

Gerry: Oops I spilled coffee on Mark's seat (Giggles and the other two guys join in, “oh no” “Oopsie”

Mark: Oh come on! Fine, you wanna play your little game? I'll play too!

Jenna: Mark, come on.

Mark: No Jenna, you come on!

Mark begins to give Gerry a lapdance to make him uncomfortable, but he is terrible and awkward at it, really it is more embarrassing for Mark then for Gerry.

Mark: Ignore this asshole! Oh, look at me, crazy right? I'm sexing you up.

Jenna: You are really bad at that...

Mark: Shut up, Oh what's that Gerry? You want my junk in your face? Ok

The awkward dancing continues and when Mark has his junk in the unresponsive Gerry's face, Gerald enters looking panicked.

Gerald: Gerry, George, Gary! You guys, I need your help!

Mark: Oh come on Gerald! You too? I have my balls in Gerry's face for christs sake!

Jenna: Get down Mark, you look like an idiot

Mark: Come on you guys, look at me! It's so embarrassing for Gerry right now guys

Gerald: You guys my April fools joke went horribly wrong

Gary: What happened Gerald?

Gerald: Well, I thought it would be funny to mess with Mark and Jenna's car

Mark: You dick! So it was you! We almost-

Gerald: I cut their breaks, and they got into a car accident, they're dead, I killed Mark and Jenna!

All: What!?

Gerry: Oh man...

Gary: Gerald, I don't know what to say...

George: They'll be missed...

Gerry: Mark was kinda a prude though

Gary: And Jenna was always trying to get me to do her work

George: Me too! And she wouldn't even give me some of her hair! (They look at him) What?

Gerald: You guys, I need you to hide me, I can't go to jail, I don't know what to do, I've got cats! Please, you're my only hope

Gerry, Gary and George look at each other, and give a nod in unison, yes.

Gary: Ok, Gerald, we're in. Let's go cover up the murder of our terrible coworkers (They exit)

Mark: (Calling out after them) Real funny guys, April Fools! HAHAHA Great joke! Oh man, my sides, HA! Guys... guys? Aren't they just the... They went all out this year huh? Hahaha, guys!?

They exit after them and Mr. Moral Enters

Mr. Moral: Treat your coworkers with respect, and they may not try to kill you.
