I have a question and wondered if anyone could help! I submitted a couple of pitches to the send-a-sketch only to discover they have been rejested! Are they really that bad, or is there an explanation for it? I´m pretty sure i abided by the rules,etc.
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks!

what were the pitches??

They have to be in a single sentence (pretty tough for "sketches and jokes")

The sentence can be long though!

;o)

I'd like to see a runners up prize to go to the person who enters the longest, grammatically correct and coherent sentance!

I'm afraid you're out of the running for your own award, Mr Short. "Sentance"? Tut, tut...

Don't knock my grammar. She was a lovely woman.

I thank you.

The pitches weren´t jokes, and looking at some peoples maybe i should of done jokes as pitches.

1)A group of construction workers sit down to a rather formal lunch on the site.

2)A paranoid Irish man recounts his tale of his honeymoon to his mother.

Yeah they are not the best, but i thought they were pitches.Maybe i should of just done a proper proper pitch as in what you get taught at writing class! I don´t know!

oooops...(hangs head in spelling shame...)

The problem is htat they are about the 'Environment' which is the theme for the send a sketch.

Yes I'll rephrase that lol. The problem is htat they are not about 'The Environment' which is this month's send a sketch theme.

loose talk costs lives, Sabriel...don't you know you need to apply to 4laughs for the brief first!?!?

bagglady hasn't had the masonic initiation yet

that's it...the competition's off now!

well in past form it wil be won by a sketch abotu a set of construction workers sitting down to a posh nosh round dinnertime.

Wasn't the comedy collective won by a hilarious insight into the rock and roll lifestyles of the celebrity famous by somebody walking through the daytime television jungle listening to a bird making David Dickinson type noises. Or did I miss something?????

hmmm



Benkins

Yes, you missed the secret meaning of what the competition was really about. Guess you didn't attend the initiation ceremony either then.

I expect I'll be imprisoned now. Farewell.

so when is this initiation ceremony then???
might solve all my problems!!!
i thought my two pitches were loosely based on the theme, as in a cultural and social sense...better try again....
thanks to all anyway!

Think i might give my pitches a bounce on the test bed...

The test bed is quite bouncy, new springs and everything. You will get lots of support there.

Are you actually a lady, as in female?

thanks that what i am hoping!
yes i am a lady, as in female - as opposed to a lady as in...?

As in, I didn't want you to think I had assumed you were a female and was asking you if you were posh. Are you posh? (not Spice, obviously). This stems from a sad and worrying time in my life when everyone on the forum thought I was a bloke. I stopped lifting weights, shaved my chin more often and everything.

Anyway, greetings and welcome. There are few females on the forum so all power to the girlies. It's hard keeping all these fellas in check yer know.

haha no i was joking, didn´t mean to come across as rude!
Well i am not really a lady, or posh, but i like to think i am - i am called the bag lady because i am backpacking at the moment at so it seemed fitting!
Thank you for the greetings it is nice to feel welcome, and i do seem to notice more males here, although that is probably my assumption as well!

Bless, I didn't think you were being rude. One has to be careful dwarlink, not to upset one's fellow 4laughers. Don't give out any personal info about yourself or you will be banned.

we didn't all think Loopey was a bloke...she used to BE a bloke!

regarding the test bed...it's bouncy, but there are a few unexplained stains on it...

be careful though, you might stumble upon an old collection of filth mags under the test bed...which is where most of the winning entries for the caption competitions have come from, and where 4Laughs get their monthly topics for competitions from...this month it is Cheating (apparently it was inspired by an article in March 1973's Playboy)
