And Now For Something Completely Different

Announcer
And now for something completely different...

Well dressed lawyer (waist up shot) appears next to announcer.

Lawyer
I'm sorry. You can't say that.

Announcer
Who are you?

Lawyer
I am the executive attorney for the Wazoo Show. I'm here to protect the producers
of this show from exposure to liability and litigation.

Announcer
Okay, fine. (Turns to camera) And now for something-

Lawyer
You CAN'T say that!

Announcer
Why not?

Lawyer
It's been used before, on another show. They have it trademarked.

Announcer
So?

Lawyer
So...we can't copy them. It'll get us into trouble.

Announcer
You mean that just because someone else
said it first, we can't use that phrase?

Lawyer
Oh, we can use it all right....we just can't say it.

Announcer
If we can't say it, how the hell can we use it?

Lawyer
Like THIS!

Lawyer spins around while camera pans down, showing the lawyer has no pants. The lawyer bends over and lifts up his coattails, and exposes a brightly colored boxer shorts. On the rear end is painted in hand letters: AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT...

END

DIRECTOR'S NOTES: In the reading session, some people took it to read that the message is hand painted on the lawyer's actual butt, with the lawyer pulling down his shorts, while I had intended for the message to be merely on the shorts. We decided either could be funny, and it was director's choice.
