If you didn't like it, it's over in a second. If not, you're laughing your ass off. I think we did like 4 of these for BENT!, I'll have to track them down.. there were a few that still make me laugh because you don't expect the direction they go in.

It's a parody of a video format, so it's built for video. It could surprise people just flicking through the channels, who could easily mistake it for a real community calendar, and do a double take. Nice surprise for them. It requires no budget, no costumes, no sets, no props, and no actors. It's easy to write. There's no set up for the jokes, just one liners. And one could probably bang out dozens of them at a time. This is a genius concept. It’s a parody of a video format, so it’s built for video.
