Wedding Flower – skit about a homophone misunderstanding

WEDDING FLOWER – SKIT ABOUT A HOMOPHONE MISUNDERSTANDING

It’s always important to get your homophones correct. What’s a homophone? Well – it’s two words with completely different meanings (and sometimes spellings) that SOUND the same.  Now in the wedding business, that kind of thing could be very important. As one unfortunate bride is about to find out. Instead of $10000 of flowers she receives $10000 of FLOUR! All dyed pink, as requested. In fact, she’s so upset, she wants to cancel the wedding. Because no girl wants to walk down the aisle simply covered in pink flour in this skit about a homophone misunderstanding!!!!

NO-THANKS-GIVING – SKIT ABOUT THANKSGIVING

It’s Thanksgiving. That same wonderful Holiday that comes round every year when all the family get together, and lovingly give thanks for all their blessings and eat some succulent melt-in-the-mouth turkey, tenderly made by mom. Well, that’s what they’d like you to think, wouldn’t they?  What’s the reality? Grandma is in tears, the kids are rolling their eyes and playing on their phones, mom’s ever so dry turkey just won’t go down even after that fiftieth chew and half the family is M.I.A. in this skit about Thanksgiving for nine people.

It’s not always easy being a knight. Slaying dragons, rescuing maidens – well, it’s all in a day’s work. But it’s all worth it when he gets the maiden in the end. Not the dragon.

START WRECK – SKIT ON STAR TREK

In this short skit on Star Trek, the starship boldly goes (again) where no man (make that WOMAN) has gone before. With Snotty beating up the captain and a member of the crew inexplicably dying of something weird every episode, it’s not surprising that the ship finally crash lands in a somewhat familiar place in this two to three minute short skit.

In this skit on the traditional fairy tale, “Little Red Riding Hood,” Little Red is forced by her mother to take goodies to granny’s house, even though her mother is very well aware of the nasty vicious wolf lurking in the forest between them.

It turns out that the wolf wants her to pay him to escort her through the dangerous woods, but since he doesn’t take visa, they part ways. Until granny’s house…
