The Little Magic Show

I decided to create a new TV Show. It'd have to be a one time special (if this was a series, it'd become cancelled after a single episode anyway. Why bother to write something that'll never see the light of day? That's only slightly more futile than writing this entire blog in the first place.) (Seriously, fuck you guys for not reading this blog.)

Still, even though it should be a one time special, this should be [mistakenly] marketed as a series nonetheless. A sketch comedy series, oh, say in the vein of In Living Color or the Dana Carvey show. We'll name it the Little Magic show. And Little Magic, a short, unassuming and fairly kind man in his younger 20s, speaking in a lowkey, polite manner and slight southern accent, shall host.

The show will open with Little Magic sitting in an easy chair, clad in a terryclothe bathrobe. He will introduce the show as if somebody just off camera is forcing him to do this show, and say everything. To boot: ''Hi, I'm... No, I'm not going to say it. No. No! ...fine. I'm little Magic. This is my show.'' He'll then [reluctantly] introduce his fly girls, whom are normal looking, attractive women who tap dance. They also wear their hair in buns and wear librarian glasses. He shall then introduce the sketches.

SKETCH 1

Scene: A fancy ball. The patrons are having a pleasant time, until a fat, greasy man wearing a rather nice but poorly fitting, gown shows up. With a fireman's hat on. Whenever somebody says something to him, or in his presence, he laughs loudly, long and obnoxiously. Everybody stares until he is done laughing, and finally, they turn to the camera and remark ''That's Our Manuel!'', the catch phrase of the sketch. This goes on for a full seven minutes.

SKETCH 2

Scene: A man pounding on a wooden table in a steady rhythm chanting ''I like Andy Warhol!'' The camera is tithgtly cropped around him, and slowly pans out After panning out for a few minutes, two others are sitting across the table at him staring. Other person 1, to other person 2: ''I am confused...''Other person 2: ''Why is that?''Other person 1: ''I always thought he was more of a Jackson Pollock fan.''A slight pause and both men silently realize the awkwardness of the situation. In an attempt to break the stalled conversation, Other Person 1 removes their white gloves, slaps other person 2 and challenges him to a duel. Fade quickly to black.

INTERMISSION

(A sign will be shown declaring the intermission part of the program.) Scene: Little Magic in his chair.Little Magic, apathetically: ''Drum solo.''The Fly girls then come out and tap dance.

SKETCH 3

Scene: A restaurant kitchen during a slow period of the day. Waitresses are in back talking to some cooks and dishwashers about normal workplace gossip. Nothing funny or particularly entertaining even, at this point. The conversation quickly dies, and a dishwasher walks away. The camera stays on him, and as he puts his hands in the dish water, he screams in agony. When he pulls his hands out, he discovers the skin has melted off. He looks up front, past the counter into the lobby, and can see a young girl smile devilishly, flash him a switch blade, and run off.

SKETCH 4

A really bad WB/7arts cartoon. Does it matter which one?

ENDING

The fly girls tap dance around Little Magic's empty chair. The credits begin to roll as Little Magic is chased around by a masked man with a machete. The Benny Hill theme plays.
