vamp joke/ funny/ comparisons

Jan. 22 Vamp joke: I went on Youtube and found those sketches with Conan O'Brien's vampire assistant Cody Deveraux (Eric Callero). Here's one I haven't seen.

There's the vamp Cody, Wolfboy, and Frankenstein. Frankenstein is trying to rip the last bit of of his shirt off, but he couldn't. Wolfboy has to rip the rest for him.

Conan: When Wolfboy is improvising, you know you're screwed.
lol. Now we know that part was unrehearsed.

Tonight is Conan's last show. I heard he will be back with a new this fall, most likely on Fox. You guys can continue to watch the vamp sketches on Youtube. A really good one is when the real Jerry Springer appears to break up a fight between Cody and Wolfboy.

Treats: Yesterday I did a job interview for my old job Treats. There's going to be a new location at the Western Canadian Bank on Feb.1. There are 10 people going for 7 positions. It's from 7:45am to 4:15pm. I don't like waking up early, but I'm sure I will get free coffee from working there.

I hated working at Winners because it's from 7am-3pm and there was no free coffee. I had one cup at 6am, and I feel exhausted. I quit pretty soon. I got a call back from Marble Slab Creamery. It sells ice cream. I told them I wanted to work days and they were looking for 5pm-10pm shifts. I asked how much they paid, but then the guy hung up on me. Whatever.

Characters: I was watching some Simpsons and Lisa was reading a magazine called Non-threatening Boys. That inspired me. I need to create characters with an element of danger to them. It makes it more exciting.

Since we're talking about The Simpsons, I also saw that new Rihanna music video called "So Hard." It reminded me of the one where Bart joins a boy band called the Party Posse. The PP video had this military element to it because they were recruiting people to join the navy. In Rihanna's video there was military imagery in it too.

Inspirational: I was watching Conan O'Brien's last show. Towards the end he sounded a little choked up: "This is to everybody, especially the young people. Don't be cynical. It will get you nowhere. Not everything will go your way, and what you expect it will to. If you work hard, and are kind, you will be successful."

Jan. 23 Fun fact: Barry Manilow comes on and he said he wrote the song that goes like this: "I'm stuck on band-aids and band- aids are stuck on me."

Funny: Right after Conan, is Jimmy Fallon.

JF: I had my show for 10 months. Across from my studio is the show Late Night with Conan O'Brien who had his show for 16 years.
The audience cheers.
JF: It's now the Dr. Oz show.
He goes in and there are guys there. They all sing. JF then pours alcohol on the floor.
The audience cheers.

The lights come on.
Dr. Oz: What the hell are you guys doing on my set?
The guys ran away.

Graham Wardle: I emailed him on Facebook again. This time with my script pitch. We'll see if he replies.

Tosh. O: Here's a mild rant. A few months ago I mentioned that this show has lacked it's lustre from the first season. The third season's here, and it's not really good. As long as I don't watch it to get my hate on, like I did with Dr Phil and Maury, I'll be good.

Coincidence: Tosh.O did a Dateline: To Catch a Predator joke where there is a video of a little girl playing with her stuffed animals. Daniel Tosh then doctored the video to have guys coming out of her closet and mentions Dateline.

Earlier that day, I was on Postsecret.com and someone said: "I was dumb enough to give him my address, but smart enough to not open the door." Maybe that's why I don't like Tosh.O much. The jokes got too dark. I mentioned the show "jumped the shark" (the show suck) the first season when Tosh showed a guy telling an abortion joke. I have to stay away from the things that get me depressed.

Comparisons: I'm doing some brainstorming, but I find it hard to be creative and original.

Handcuffed to a car: I thought about writing a character that's handcuffed to a car. That's been done before on Rush Hour. Jackie Chan was handcuffed to the steering wheel, but then he manages to take it off and runs around with it.

There was that old TV show Johnny Zero that was on Fox in 2004. Johnny was handcuffed to the door handle. J manages to rip the door off the car and when he's getting shot at, he holds up the door like his shield. lol. I also saw Eddie Murphy being handcuffed in 48 hrs, and he was stuck to the car. When the bad guy came, he used the door to hit him and stop him.

Righting wrongs: On Dark Angel season 1, Max could have done something to save this girl, but she didn't. Ten years later, she saves another young girl from the same man. On Johnny Zero, Johnny could have protected a young white guy in prison when J was there, but he didn't. Years later, he manages to right his wrongs. He has to give money to three different people to be able to arrange this young white guy from getting killed.

I really like the part at the end. The guy who was going to prison was going to jail for involuntary manslaughter for killing a young girl in a car accident. I remember the line where the guy's dad was asking Johnny for help: "He's 19 and he's white. He's not going to last 4 years in prison."

Johnny manages to get money to the three people to protect him when he's in prison. I love the advice that J gives him: "Give an anonymous note to the prison warden that you have drugs in your cell. When they check your cell and it turns out you didn't, then they'll know you're good." Also practice a religion. I

really felt for the guy in the episode when he is pulled into a hug by his dad. The kid was in his orange jumpsuit and handcuffed.
Kid: I love you dad.

Two siblings: There are two siblings living together as a sitcom. There is What I Like about You and Two and a Half Men. I thought up an idea about two brothers living together as a sitcom in 2005. Then it's not until 2008, I used it in my script The Fighter. The relationship had some comedy, but there was a lot of drama in it.

Bad guy working for the good guys: In She Spies, there were three beautiful women who went into prison. They then work for the good guys to get a shorter prison term. It was a good comedy. In the show Invisible Man, this guy Darren was going to prison, but he volunteers for this science experiment. It is to make him invisible, and he works for the good guys. His brother was a good guy and in charge of the experiment.

Sacrificing oneself: In the Invisible Man pilot, Darren's brother pushes him out of the way so Darren could live, and the brother took the bullet. In Dark Angel season 1 finale, Zack kills himself so he could give his heart to the lead character Max who was dead. He did sacrifice himself earlier in the season, by going back to Manticore so Max wouldn't.

Music: Have you ever heard of the British boy band JLS? I find that they are more of a R&B group. I only saw one video, and find them okay.

I've been listening to some music I haven't heard of like Ray J. I like his song "What I need" back in 2006, but I wanted to check out some other stuff. I like Robin Thicke's song "Magic." Right now I'm checking out his new music. I do like his song "Sex Therapy." I was thinking about RT because I saw his video a couple of days ago.

They showed his "Shooter" video with Lil Wayne. I then thought about pizza delivery during it when this girl showed up at the door in the video. It made me think of that She Spies pick up line I heard: "Do you want to come over to my place for sex and pizza? By the way, bring a pizza." lol.

Then in the video, there was a pizza delivery boy. That was a weird coincidence.

You get to read a 3rd weekly email instead of the usual 2 this week, because of my brainstorming. If I have writer's block and I can't write a script, I have to do other forms of writing like email.
