My Memo Book

OK, so a few days ago I bought a memo pad to keep in my pocket for when I have ideas for sketches or jokes. I've started to fill it up and I think I'll post a few here to see if anyone who does read this likes it.

Sketch idea #1: a long series of gags all tied together.

It starts out with some guy at work, he makes a mistake and mimes Seppuku, immediately after hitting the ground a woman in a kimono rushes to the body and begins to cry over the body. The manager who told him of the mistake mentions that this must of been a lot of work for such a small gag. The camera then cuts to the woman without the makeup on getting a phonecall from the guy who would latter start the gag. She rings a gong and out pop ninja/stylists. One of the ninjas is black and says something stereotypically sassy and a jingle plays along the lines of "its shaniqua! shes black!" to indicate a type of sitcom. The Camera then zooms out to show it was all on a television being presented by these two guys to a focus group of only black people who all press the red button in front of them. Two security guards come in and one of the group members says "take 'em out back" where they are beaten up as someone films from some ways away saying "i'm puttin' this shit on youtube!" where it then cuts to us watching the clip as someone says "ok, this is just getting out of hand, are we even in the sketch anymore?" to which someone else replies "I'm not sure" and then it ends.

its long, but thats the point, I might change the punchline to "what is this? MADtv?"

its also a work in progress

Ok this next one I like better because its simpler and involves superheroes. This would go one of two ways, but both offer the same basic plot/joke.

version 1) Lex Luther is sitting there, when his henchman, Rocco, comes up and asks what the new plan to kill Superman is today. Lex replies that he's burned out, and just for kicks wants Rocco to come up with a plan. Rocco says he will, but needs time to think. Rocco then goes to watch some TV and some of his favorite cartoons are on and he watches The Road Runner and gets an idea. He asks Lex for a piece of kryptonite and puts it in a bowl of M&Ms labeled "For Superman" and leaves it on the roof of the daily planet. The Camera then shows a newspaper that reads "SUPERMAN FOUND DEAD ON DAILY PLANET ROOF" and Lex reading it in utter disbelief.

Version 2) The Joker dreams something like a roadrunner cartoon with him being wily coyote, wakes up and says "nah, that would never work...well...maybe" and it cuts to the newspaper where batman died, same basic idea only its the joker because he might actually try that, but batman would never fall for it. Just an alternate version of the same joke really.

Version 3) Same as version one but instead of watching the cartoon and everything, Rocco just starts out asking for the kryptonite piece, wrapping it in foil and handing it to superman who says "ooo, I love candy" and eats it, only to die right there. This one is quicker and more to the point, but then we also need someone to play Superman.

This last one is just a joke for a stand up routine. Basically it goes like this: So I was in wal-mart the other day and I noticed a type of body wash called Bodycology. With a name like that, doesn't that imply that someone out there is a bodycologist? That just sounds like a bad pick-up line, like "hey baby, I'm a bodicologist, let me tell you something I could write my thesis on you" *cheesy finger snap and point*
