Blockheads pt. 1-3

The blockheads are not recurring characters; anyone can play anyone in any sketch. The real star of these sketches is the block itself.

Writer’s Block

F. SCOTT FITZGERALD STATUE IN RICE PARK. BLOCKHEAD #1 IS SITTING ON A WOODEN BLOCK IN THE POSE OF "THE THINKER." A TYPEWRITER IS PERCHED ON A PILLAR IN FRONT OF HIM. HE SIGHS AND STANDS UP AS TO LEAVE. INSPIRATION FLASHES ACROSS HIS FACE.

BLOCKHEAD #1

EUREKA!! I’ve got it!

BLOCKHEAD #1 EXCITEDLY SITS BACK DOWN ON THE BLOCK, CRACKS HIS FINGERS AND PLACES THEM ON THE TYPEWRITER KEYBOARD. HE IS SUDDENLY AT A LOSS AT WHAT TO TYPE. HE SIGHS AND GOES BACK INTO THE POSE OF "THE THINKER."

AFTER A FEW MINUTES, HE SIGHS AND STANDS AGAIN. INSPIRATION AGAIN FLASHES ACROSS HIS FACE.

BLOCKHEAD #1

Ah-hah!

BLOCKHEAD #1 AGAIN SITS DOWN AT THE TYPEWRITER AND IS SUDDENLY AT A LOSS AT WHAT TO TYPE. HE SIGHS AND RESUMES "THE THINKER" POSE.

AFTER A FEW MINUTES, BLOCKHEAD SIGHS, STANDS AND ONCE MORE INSPIRATION CROSSES HIS FACE. HE SITS BACK DOWN ON THE BLOCK AND PREPARES TO TYPE. ONCE MORE HE IS AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. HE SIGHS AND RESUMES "THE THINKER" POSE.

CUT TO WIDER ANGLE. THE WORDS "Writer’s Block" ARE PAINTED ON THE SIDE OF THE BLOCK.

Studying a Broad

OUTDOOR SETTING. BLOCKHEAD #1 IS SITTING ON A WOODEN BLOCK IN THE POSE OF "THE THINKER." BLOCKHEAD #2 APPROACHES.

BLOCKHEAD #2

Watcha’ doing?

BLOCKHEAD #1

I’m studying a broad.

AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN APPROACHES, ANGRILY SLAPS BLOCKHEAD #1 ACROSS THE FACE, THEN STORMS OFF. HE NEVER MOVES.

BLOCKHEAD #1

I’m studying… chicks?

ANOTHER ATTRACTIVE WOMAN APPROACHES, ANGRILY SLAPS HIS FACE AND STORMS OFF. HE NEVER MOVES.

BLOCKHEAD #1

Okay. I’m studying female Americans.

BLOCKHEAD #2 ANGRILY SLAPS BLOCKHEAD #1 ACROSS THE FACE. BLOCKHEAD #1 ACTS SURPRISED.

BLOCKHEAD #2

I hate political correctness!

BLOCKHEAD #2 STORMS OFF. BLOCKHEAD #1 SIGHS AND RESUMES "THE THINKER" POSE.

The End

Don’t Blink or…

OUTDOOR SETTING. BLOCKHEAD #1 IS SITTING ON A WOODEN BLOCK IN THE POSE OF "THE THINKER." HE STARES WITHOUT BLINKING FOR A LONG TIME. FINALLY, HE DOES BLINK AND BREAKS THE POSE.

BLOCKHEAD #1

Agh! I blinked! You win, again! Whadda’ you say? Three out of five?

BLOCKHEAD#1 RESUMES THE POSE OF "THE THINKER." CUT TO CLOSE-UP OF BLOCKHEAD #1 STARING INTO THE CAMERA. CUT TO CLOSE-UP OF STATUE (OR GARDEN GNOME.) STARING INTO THE CAMERA. CUT TO WIDER ANGLE OF THE TWO OF THEM STARING AT EACH OTHER.
