JOHN: You’ve got a college degree? What are you doing here?
MILES: Well, first thing’s first buddy, having a music major is just embarrassing. (PLAY LAUGH TRACK) As for me being here, I might as well use the embarrassment to get paid. (PLAY LAUGH TRACK)
JOHN: Oh, so you’ve become a comedian?

MILES: Now hang on, what’s that supposed to mean?
JOHN: You want the real answer?
MILES: Are you implying there’s a different answer?
JOHN: No, just one.
MILES: Why would you say it like there’s more than one?
JOHN: To give you just a teeny bit of hope. (PLAY LAUGH TRACK)
MILES: Uh huh. And tell me, did your last girlfriend give you a teeny bit of hope before she told you the real answer? (PLAY ‘OOOH’ TRACK)

I like the way that the piece is setup so that we can envision what is going on like a movie.

This formatting is very creative, I like the sitcom script style a lot. It flows quite nicely, is a pleasant read, and captures the energy of a standard sitcom to a T!

The way that you insert humor into your writing is quite enjoyable. It has potential to be continued and expanded upon.

I love the sitcom script vibe! The humor is cheesy and sarcastic, but that’s always been the charm of sitcoms for me — the easy-to-grasp styles of humor. I particularly liked the girlfriend clapback and the final bigfoot joke!
