You’re very pretty, you know. I don’t usually have this type of…thing. I mean I never fall in love a-at first sight, if you know what I mean.
(pauses)
I’m actually quite embarrassed right now. (girl giggles) I was thinking you would like to hook up one day like so we could know each other better. Hey, I don’t even know your name and I feel like a fool ‘coz I’m the only one talking.
(Bites his upper lip)
(girl gets closer in a ‘sexy’ way)

Girl: (She has a very manly and deep voice) I’m Tanya.

Malcolm: (horrified face, and high pitched voice) That’s…cool. If you’ll excuse me, I…I gotta go.

Kelly: Who called you?
(Everyone looks at Sabrina)

Sabrina: It’s called a trio! What? That’s not it?



Episode 6: R.I.P
Coming soon.

Haha.. I'll be honest now and just say that I have no idea how to review this, especially since I've never really written something like it. I'll just put my opinion or something. Sorry ahead of time for being pretty much useless.

1 - Hah, this one was pretty funny. I could picture the girl in my head with her low man voice and actually laughed while reading it all. The first time Malcom spoke, I thought he was a player or something... his first line is a lot smoother than the rest. For some reason I was glad to find that his character seems a bit more timid.

2 - Good, but not really as good as the first one. If I look at the episode as a part of a series that includes all of the episodes you posted here, then it's good... it helps to build the characters. But on its own, it's just kind of there for me. Not bad, don't get me wrong. Just.. there.

3 - This one was pretty awesome too. On New Years I went to my friend's house, and he and a bunch of his friends were playing Call of Duty or something... anyway. Long story short, I showed'em who's boss. What's more funny is that my name's Dani. BUT, this is all irrelevant. This episode, on it's own, is good. I like it.

3 (you had two episode 3's... not sure if that was intentional or not) - This one is kind of the same as the second one. On its own, not really impressed. It was funnier this time (again, comparing to the second episode), though. And again, it helps to give me a better understanding of the characters.

4- (Pretty much the same thing I said last time, on the first episode 3)

5 - Haha, I love this one, and I think it's my favorite as well. I actually laughed at this one too... I never really laugh at submissions, but this was pretty funny.

Again, sorry for being useless. It's hard to pick out what's right and what's wrong... this is a lot different than poetry But I liked it overall. Great work!

This script is very funny. I can imagine it on a TV Show with laughs in the backround and everything. I was laughing at the Proposal episode with what that guy's friend said XD Very good, maybe it needs some more depth at times but all in all, a really funny script, love it! Write more, I love the Bench

Those would make a good TV show. You could call it "The Bench", thats how much I liked these sketches. Probably;y wasn't any help, but I tried.

I'm not too sure how to review this either. Though I caught a few mistakes in the first episode. This was a funny script! I loved it! I can't wait for more! Do you have your actual sketches on YWS? If you do, I think you should link your script with the pictures.

They were funny, I laughed. But there is something you need to fix. "Episode 3: Proposal"

Laura is sitting alone on the bench, where Paul had asked her to meet him. He is late, but she doesn’t mind

It's listed at the start that the character is Peter, not Paul, but here it's Paul and then immediately changes to Peter, but other than that it's all pretty good

I really liked it! It was funny, and good. But the cussing, well see I dont' believe in cussing peroid. I don't think it is right to say it, lip-talk it, joke aorudn with it, or even bleeping it out. I think peple shoudl cuss but that is my only concerned if you replace the cussing with other words or made up words, it might be suitable to abotu 10-year-olds to read. Below is a a list of other words
A bomb- girl, butt
B bomb-witch, butthead
D bomb- darn, dang, boykin
F bomb- flipping, flapping, flapjacks
J bomb- stupid butt
Lets just stop there, but tyr them they are they same meaning (insulting) but more user-friendly. Good luck!

Wow, I really love these! They are so creative and entertaining. I agree with misstoria and Gratziella, it would make a very funny TV show.

At first I was bothered by some of the dialogue because it seems somewhat realistic and corny at times, but as I continued to read, it seemed to fit the script better. Very very funny. I could imagine every scene in my head clearly. Well done!
