LOGLINE: A sketch comedy pilot about gloriously awful people, a lazy comedian tanks on stage, a bizarre commercial for couples to divorce via an app, and an apathetic man discovers purgatory is the perfect place to do absolutely nothing.
I am setting out to create a proof of concept / pilot episode of a sketch comedy show called “P.O.S. - Piece Of Skit”, where each sketch is a satirical exploration of the flaws that define us… or in other words everyone is a giant piece of shit. In a world where social norms often demand perfection, these characters embrace their imperfections and aren’t going to stop making a fool of themselves or change for anyone. Themes are being unapologetically self-centered, flawed, and often downright terrible. Each sketch plays with the idea that even the worst traits can lead to unexpected, uncomfortable, comedy.

POS Character Breakdowns
SKETCH #1: The Stand Up
Shaun - (Male 21-30)
College-aged, laid-back and chill. A supportive but slightly oblivious friend. More interested in drinking and casually watching the chaos unfold.
Sledgehammer - (Male 25-40)
Charismatic, brash, and unapologetically offensive stand-up comic. Commands the room with over-the-top insults and shock humor.
SKETCH #2: Divorcify & Divorcify Pro
Rex Bloomfield - (Male 25-55)
Loud, obnoxious infomercial-style salesman. Orange spray tan, unnaturally white teeth, overly confident. Embodies toxic masculinity and absurdity. Think “Scumbag lawyer” meets TV Personality/Host.
Man (Sloppy Husband) - (Male 21-35)
Lazy, beer-drinking, video game-obsessed dude. Completely checked out of his marriage. Comedic in his obliviousness and lack of emotional maturity.
Woman (Wife) - (Female 21-35)
The straight character to the sketch's absurdity. Grounded, rational, increasingly exasperated by her husband's antics. The voice of reason in the skit.
SKETCH #3: Meeting with the Devil
The Devil - (Male 21-35)
Modern, sarcastic, casually evil yet charming. Not your typical menacing figure—more of a burned-out middle manager with a dark sense of humor.
Demoness - (Female 21-35)
Seductive, intimidating assistant to the Devil. Commanding presence, but limited lines. Visual impact role.
