Olympic Nose Blowing Skit

Materials:
gymnastics uniform, hand chalk

Characters:
announcer, commentator, competitor, (judges)

Directions:
This idea is to mock Olympic announcing. You must have funny hosts. Have a Bryant Gumball host and a Mary Lou Retna commentator to go along with him. They talk about Olympic nose blowing and comment on your first contestant (in a gymnastics uniform, loosening up, chalking the hands).

You can talk about how she blew out a nostril on her last blow and really shouldn't be competing but the team may need this to win the gold. Great comments like, "Would you look at the nostrils on her, Mary. I bet kissing her is like double dating a two car garage." "It’s snot really possible to get a perfect 10 here."

You may want to bring in judges. She picks up hankie, hobbles on one leg, gets a score, wins, whatever. Announcers can toss to end skit, "and to Bruce Jenner and company for a look at the indoor javelin catching competition."

Wind Beneath My Wings Skit

Materials:
guitar, ice, 2 flashlights, 2 hair dryers

Characters:
leader, 2 pranksters

Directions:
This may be a good skit for two seniors to have some fun with you. We have used it to kick off a senior skit night as a Saturday Night Live like opening. Explain to the crowd the tradition and incredible meaning of this night, and how you and two other seniors have chosen a very serious song to kick things off that you feel will set the tone for the show.

They come and stand on either side of you very serious, and you begin to play the guitar. You all begin to sing, "It must have been cold there in my shadow" (as you finish the line they break in "You’re as cold as ice…" and throw ice down you back). You yell at them and they apologize, you reluctantly go on. "To never have sunlight on your face" (They break off into Sunshine On My Shoulders as they shine big flashlights in your eyes). You chew them out more, then go on. "You were always one step behind" (You may have them de-pants you, with some great shorts on underneath, or smack a kick me sign on your behind…pointing and singing Moon River).

Same scenario, you go on keeping your eyes on them. "You’re everything I wish I could be." You turn defensively only to have them looking innocently back at you. You go on big, "You are the wind beneath my wings!" They lift your arms and use hair dryers on you. You explode for a final time and ask them, "Why are you doing this? What do you think this is?" They look at one another and yell, "Live from , it’s Monday night!" Lights out, Saturday Night Live music on.

Dirty Socks/Laundry Detergent Skit

Materials:
2 white socks, chocolate syrup, 2 detergent bottles, milk, food coloring

Characters:
commercial character

Directions:
This is a TV commercial. Get a pair of white socks with chocolate syrup all over them to make them look dirty. Fill two different detergent bottles with milk and food coloring. Wash the socks and compare the results. Both clean the same so drink the "water" to see which tastes better.

Water Shortage At The Frat House Skit

Materials:
table, sign, comb, Q-tip, frosting, whipped cream, aspirin, glass, water

Characters:
5 frat guys

Directions:
This is a "picture if you will" skit of a water shortage at a local frat house. The scene opens with a glass of water on a table with a sign that reads, "water out of order, this is the last glass." Guys enter one at a time all in jammies as if it is a mirror and do different things with water.

First guy combs hair dipping in and out of cup, second guy cleans ears (fake it but have flour on the Q-tip to cloud water), third guy rinses and spits toothpaste (frosting), fourth guy shaves (whipped cream), fifth guy comes in to take aspirin and drinks the water!

Little Mobile Nemo Skit

Materials:
long sleeve shirt, safety pins, gloves, shorts with high socks or pants and shoes, elf hat, dark-colored king size sheet or blanket, pillows

Characters:
Nemo

Directions:
This skit works great with Christmas elves or little UPS people (people that carry lots of packages). Here is how it works: this is a single uniform for one person. The person puts a long sleeve shirt over their head, but puts their arms down through the shirt (not in the sleeves). The sleeves must be stuffed to look full, safety pin gloves to the arms as well. Then, put shorts with high socks or pants and shoes on their arms so that they will look like the legs (much like Little Nemo). Pin the shorts or pants to the shirt, throw on an elf hat and you begin to see the littler Nemo.

Then the person kneels down in the middle of a dark-colored king size sheet or blanket with their entire body on the blanket, but their "arms-now legs for the creature" are outside the sheet.
Throw a pillow or two on their legs (their real legs) and then wrap their real legs and body and pillows up into a bundle and pull the tie portion of the bundle over their shoulder and pin it to their fake hands (also pull the sheet up under their fake legs and pin it on their shirt in back for better support as well). Now with their hands, and then dragging their body in what looks to be a big sack.

Remind then to keep their shoulders back and head up for good posture and appearance. Do whatever you want with them, just keep in mind that they have no way to move their fake arms.

Little Nemo Skit

Materials:
2-3 sheets, table, shorts, shoes, big shirt

Characters:
Nemo

Directions:
This can be done in a doorway. You need two people one with long arms. The front person is the face and legs placing hands into shoes. The back person is the arms by reaching around the front person and through slits in back of shirt then out the sleeves. One sheet hides the legs under the table and other sheet hides the back person. You may want a third sheet to place in front of them and pull it over their heads so they can get in and out unnoticed. Nemo can be prepared for a date (brush teeth, comb hair, shave (remove blade from razor)). Also do exercises. Dancing with a strobe light helps. Practice!

You Gotta Try This! Skit

Materials:
table, chairs, food, plates, milk, glasses

Characters:
4-5 family members

Directions:
A family is sitting around the table getting ready to eat. A kid comes running in and hits his toe on the table. "Oh, this hurts so much! I’ve never stubbed my toe this hard, I think its broke." He carries on and says, "You gotta try this and see what I mean! It hurts!" They all get up and try it.

Another family member takes a bite of dinner and burns their mouth. They spit it out screaming how hot it is and carrying on and says, "You all got to try this!" They all do, screaming and burning.

Another takes a swig of some lumpy old sour milk carrying on how disgusting it is saying, "You got to try some of this!" They do and behave similarly.

Scene ends when someone comes in saying "Oh man, I just got hit by a bus, every one of my ribs are broken and I have internal bleeding! You gotta try this!" They all run out and scream with screeching tires.

Spittoon Boy Skit

Materials:
rain slicker, boots, hat, goggles, coffee can

Characters:
3 hillbillies, Spittoon Boy

Directions:
Three hillbillies acting like they are chewing begin to brag about their spitting prowess. One spits for speed, one for distance and one for power. They decide to have a contest and call out Spittoon Boy (guy enters wearing rain slicker, boots, hat, goggles, and carrying a coffee can).

They each back him up more and spit for distance. He flicks the can each time as if the spit landed in it. The last guy even sends him out side, down the street (he comes back amazed). Now for speed, he flicks the can, he flicks it faster, the third time he flicks before the guy spits. Now for power, he flicks and falters a bit. He flicks and falters more, third time he flicks and spills it (water) all over crowd.

This is a quick commercial: "And now ladies and gentlemen, a word from our sponsor. With the successful marketing of the Arch Deluxe for adults, Coca-Cola now turns its advertising to a more mature fine dining audience: Coca Cola — the choice of a mature generation."

Two couples enter in tuxes and prom gowns. The first girl: pulls out a bottle of Coke; hands it to the next guy in line; he pulls out a handkerchief; twists the cap and hands it to the next girl; she in very lady like fashion guzzles down whole bottle; and hands the empty to the last guy who belches.

Foreign Exchange Student Skit

Materials:
none

Characters:
foreign exchange student, leader

Directions:
You need someone who can speak a foreign language very fluently. It sometimes is fun if you have a real foreign exchange student at club to have them play it up. Explain that you the leader are excited to make Young Life for everybody, and thought that it may be best to have a foreign exchange student come and share their thoughts on Young Life. You will ask the questions and translate for the crowd.

Bring in your non-English-speaking student and ask them things like…"How do you like the music at club?" Have the student rant and rave, holding there nose, rambling about how awful it is and when they are finished, you smiling, tell the crowd they loved it. Continue until the student gets mad and walks out.

Toucharama Skit

Materials:

Characters:
announcer, guy and girl in lab coats, guy and girl backstage, planted kid

Directions:
Announcer sells the skit as a new way to experience movies. One guy and girl in lab coats walk out and stand behind a chair. Meanwhile the announcer pulls up a planted volunteer. The kid sits down in the chair, puts on 3D glasses and stares ahead as if watching a movie behind the crowd.

A guy and girl read a movie story line backstage over microphones while the lab coats help make it "live" to the volunteer. For example, "Oh Jim I've missed you so much I just want to hug you" (Lab coats hugs him). You may kiss, slap, throw water on, the volunteer to make the most of their experience. The volunteer may even ham it up and when they begin to fight, root for them to make up; then they make up, get sick.
