The Hat of Inappropriate Jokes
Here’s a new topical feature you can do when the mood strikes. It’s called “The Hat of Inappropriate Jokes”. Write an inappropriate joke for the biggest news item of the day (i.e. the Chilean miners – make sure you choose a news item where no one is hurt or dies, of course). Place the joke, along with blank slips of paper in a hat. Each show member chooses a slip of paper from the hat. Whoever chooses the slip with the inappropriate joke must tell it on the air. There will be tension because no one knows who’ll get it. And for a moment, all eyes are on that show’s character to see how they deal with it.
