An assignment I had to turn in for a commercial script for my TV productions class. The original was

written a long time ago, so I'm writing from memory.

--

A nerdy kid is shown walking along a school sidewalk, looking bummed out. Suddenly the announcer's voice

booms out

AN: Hey you!

Kid:Me?

kid looks all around

AN: Yes, you! Are women turning you down?

Kid: Yes

AN: Rejecting you?

Kid: Yeah.

AN: Spraying you with mace?

Kid: Hey! Shelly only did that once...

AN: Then you need: Habanero Pepper Mints!

Kid: Wha?

AN: Habanero Pepper Mints!

Kid: Huh?

AN: What are you, defective? Habanero Pepper Mints! The new breath freshener made with 10,000

BTU's of pure heat, to burn odor causing germs from your mouth!

Kid: You're not making these things sound too appealing...

AN: Heh. You should hear the Surgeon General's warning...

Kid: What?

AN: Nothing. Here, try some!

a can of the mints comes sailing to KID's hand. He eats one...

Kid: AHHHH! It burns!

AN: That means its working.

KID runs off screaming in pain, turning several corners, screaming for water. He bumps into two CHEERLEADERS,

one of whom drops their Mountain Dew. KID proceeds to lick it off the ground

CL 1: Ewww, he's licking that off the concrete. That's disgusting!

CL 2: Yeah, but his breath is so fresh!

CL 1: Yeah, you're right.

CHEERLEADERS help the KID off the pavement, and carry him off, giggling like morons

AN: Hananero Pepper Mints. The only mints with the awesome power of fire.

This script was originally written for a 60 second spot, but to make it within the 30 second timeslot I had to butcher it.

I was forced to change my art, and at the end of the year I only made a C in the class, and the teacher wouldn't

take me on for TV productions II. Damn you Mrs. Baker, damn you.

Anyway, I felt this was worth , much more than the A minus I got on it. Please R and R, and tell me what you think.
