You Can't Do That In Star Wars

Really long author's note.

Quote; "ive never seen the actual show (i wasnt even alive then hehe)..."

Quote; "And what are opposite scetches?"

[yoda]Mmm...the eighties, you do not remember? Nine hundred years old, you make me feel, hn hn [/yoda]

Opposite sketches; The joke of these was that they were acting out the exact opposite of what typically happens irl (example; the kids eagerly clean up their room, and Mom punishes them because she was looking forward to doing it)

Link set; Set where links between sketches are filmed. On most shows that use one, it's some kind of stage.
http://www.ycdtotv.com has pictures of this one.

One final note on YCDTOTV; it was last aired (in the US) in 1993. That's less than a decade, so I hope that means I'm not ready for AARP membership yet!

 

1993? i was five then and my brother was nine..i wonder why we never watched that show...hmmm

 

up?????

 

Why does everyone make me feel old?

I remember racing home from school so I coul get my homework and piano practice done in time to watch the show. I used to love the opisite sketches.

Why can't they make TV shows like that any more?

Great work it really captures the feel of the old show.

 

Thanks Sticks_Solo!
Of course, in the spirit of the old show, new material is coming at a trickle (Remember how Nickelodeon used to announce new episodes starting a month in advance, and they'd last a week before it was back to reruns?)

INT. LOCKER ROOM. DAY. (Still in opposites)

JAINA and TAHIRI looking like they just had a swim; the've got their clothes back on and are putting away wet towels. BANT walks in.

BANT; Ugh, it's so humid in here. I can't understand how you humans can bear it.

JAINA; That's nothing. We were just swimming.

BANT; Swimming? (She wrenches her face in disgust) In...water?

(JAINA and TAHIRI look up, nervously. Nothing happens.)

JAINA; Oh, I get it. This is an opposite sketch, so....

TAHIRI (while folding a towel);....we didn't get dumped on when Bant said water. Nice surpris-

(TAHIRI is cut off because she gets watered)

JAINA; Here's another nice surprise. That- (she points to the now-sopping towel still in Tahiri's hands)- was the last dry towel.

 

hewhe that was funny! LAst dry towl.. haha! **walks off muttering to self**

 

I didn't realise that the shows were that slow to be made. In Australia I guess we got the shows in larger groups. Great sketch again. Can't wait for the next one.

 

Up

Any luck writing the next sketch?

I hope we haven't been entirely forgotten here.
