Babybel! (sketch comedy script)

~ commercials that almost made it series ~

[ANNOUNCER VOICE says the title and subtitle, then GRUMPY ROOMIE enters living room hobble walking to keep from stepping on one foot]

GRUMPY ROOMIE:

Hey what’s THIS

(Holds said foot up to CHILL ROOMIE & YAKQWEE)

CHILL ROOMIE:

..Is this a trick question?

GRUMPY ROOMIE:

It’s Swiss cheese crumbs that got stuck to my feet, because SOMEONE was eating cheese in the bathroom!

CHILL ROOMIE

Who would..

YAKQWEE:

It was me okay?! I ate so many little cheeses and got stuffed up so I took a laxative, but then got too runny and thought eating more cheeses would help again

GRUMPY ROOMIE:

But why is it crumbs on the floor!

YAKQWEE:

I had trouble with the packaging

GRUMPY ROOMIE:

Are you an idiot? It’s a Babybel! It’s got pull tabs! I found the wrapper ya dink

CHILL ROOMIE:

(spitting out a half bitten Babybel from mouth, it’s bright red with the wax still on)

Wait Babybel’s got pull tabs??

(starts examining it)

GRUMPY ROOMIE:

Ya..ugh

(notices what CHILL ROOMIE has done)

pull tabs..

CHILL ROOMIE:

(Picking at the half eaten chunk, has ‘eureka’ moment when finding the mushed tab)

Oh! Wow!

(shrugs, puts wax covered Babybel back in mouth and chews happily)

GRUMPY ROOMIE:

(continues to look at CHILL ROOMIE judgmentally)

YAKQWEE:

Okay, hold up. So you’re the one eating cheese that you stepped on in a bathroom, off your foot and I’m the idiot?!

[Continue arguing back and forth, getting quieter as they go while CHILL ROOMIE, in the middle, tries to keep everyone civil]

GRUMPY ROOMIE:

It was on the wrappa! I didn’t eat! And I’M the one with cheese on my feet!

YAKQWEE:

Well it was an emergency OKAY! and I’d apologize if you weren’t being so MEAN

GRUMPY ROOMIE:

there shouldn’t be reasons like this to apologize FOR!

CHILL ROOMIE:

(bites clean into another Babybel with the wax on)

Mmm!
