sketch comedy script: 1-15-2023 post

Friends,

Victory, concerning Congressional nomination of and swearing in of House Speaker K. McCarthy.

Some months ago, I wrote this short, sketch-comedy, script. While the Congress has such important business, always, I find relief in making jest of what is very important work (and should be seen as important by those we elect).

While written and inspired by real-life misfortune, the script is not an endorsement of any kind of behavior; rather, it is a cynical examination of not-so-good conduct and is a lampoon.

I hope you’ll enjoy this one, entitled: “Pizza-Party USA”:

We glimpse the interior of the United States Congress.

All of the Democrat-party Representatives are standing in front of their seats.
All of the Republican-party Representatives are in their seats.

At the podium, reserved for the speaker(s), stands a young man (18 years of age).
Around his neck, is a sign which reads: “The American Taxpayer”.

He speaks:
“Congress, I would like to announce that I will be paying for the nation’s pizza-party this year. While I cannot feed all of you, and while the Congress is not a comprising of all Americans, it is my duty to try my best to feed all of you here today at my expense.

[The Congress cheers].

(There is fist-pounding at the doors; clamoring heard, coming from the outside).

The Congressional leaders turn to look at the doors; as they hear the pounding from the outside.

An angry mob outside, is pounding at the doors. They are heard yelling, “We want pizza too”, “We want pizza too”, “We want pizza too”.

From behind the angry mob, a pizza delivery guy walks toward them and parts them. A path is made for him, which all the mob politely makes, stopping their rage for the delivery.

The delivery guy says, “Excuse me.. pardon me.. excuse me”, as he files on through.
He opens the door that the angry mob has been pounding fists at (which was unlocked). He enters the chamber, and then closes the door behind him. As opposed to being followed in by that mob, they made way for him, waited for the door to close on them, and then resume their noise.

They continue at the door again, in the same way that had before, as if they were unable to get in.

From inside, we see that the pizza gets delivered to the spokesperson: “The American Taxpayer”. (That’s right, singular).

The Congresspersons cheer: “Hail to our Taxpayer!” “We are truly blessed!”

Carrying the pizza, the taxpayer says one last thing: “Well Congress, since we’ve become Communist, we don’t have much pizza to spread among the Representatives of our once great Nation. But, I’ll tell you what… we’ll make sure that none of us eat more or less than the rest.” And, if any of you do so, we’ll put that person on trial.

The Congress cheers!

The Congressional leaders get into a single-filed line, to get their “slice” of pizza. Everyone is very hungry. One of them reaches for “The American Taxpayer’s” slice. Taxpayer swats the hand away and gives him a mean look. Taxpayer, says, “ah, ah, ah, don’t take my slice!”, as he lifts a slice up and takes a bite.

He then says, “You’ll need your energy; because, after we eat, we’ll need to fight the angry mob outside.”

THE END.

I have another original short-comedy, in coming days for you. I hope you enjoyed this one! I write it slightly in Monty Python style, with warning about dysfunctions of certain political ideologies known to fail. Ideally, this script should be a TV sketch-comedy segment.
