Adept: I have been considering posting some of our group's scripts here before (we do both sketch and improv comedy), but haven't checked with my director yet as to his approval... we have done a couple with computer themes and one was directly inspired by Darren, but for the most part they are not "geek" humour because we don't have audiences that are mostly "geeks", even though we are...

Directly inspired by Darren?! We *have* to see this https://forums.windrivers.com/

I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who would appreciate it if you could post some scripts!

How about material from a user's viewpont?

Improv acting, eh? I was a member of the prestigious Bless The Mark Players for this summer's Sterling Renaissance Festival.

Interactive/improv theater is a lot of fun -- don't start doing it, if yo ucan help it. After doing improv theater, all other jobs are too boring to stay awake for.

Allow me to preface this by saying it is not intended to be offensive to gays and is not intended to imply that I think Darren is gay.

My comedy group, the Wayward Clams, have performed a sketch partly inspired by DSB and Darren... he and a couple of others have asked for the details... I have not put the script here (it is copyrighted by us) but have summarized it below.

Two guys start on stage, it is revealed that one of them ordered an experimental robotic love doll from the Real Doll company. He is really excited and wants to show it off to his friend. However when they unwrap it it is revealed that a mistake was made, instead of shipping them "Jenna" like they were supposed to, they shipped the version for the ladies--"Rocco". (Rocco also came with a bag of toys he was programmed to use.) The one guy wants to ship him back, the other guy thinks he would be useful for practical jokes and things, they get into a fight over the remote control and smash it, with Rocco stuck in "Homosexual, Aggressive, Dominant" mode. He chases them all over the theatre while they struggle to evade him and find the emergency shutdown instructions in the manual. One of them is assigned to distract the robot long enough for the other to find this information, "Rocco" puts bunny ears on him, the audience found his expression of horror hilarious... then it is revealed the emergency off switch is between the buttocks. Rocco has handcuffed the guys together, and they can't get at it without letting him at them. He is swinging a large sex toy at them... one of them grabs another one out of the bag of goodies and he and Rocco have a fencing duel using sex toys, to keep him busy, but even this doesn't allow the other guy to get to the off switch. Finally, "Rocco" gets one of them, and the other one shuts him down, the last scene is of the one guy bent over on stage, Rocco bent over top of him, and the other guy bent over Rocco with his hand down the back of his thong (to turn the switch off)... the audience was pi$$ing themselves laughing at this point... then the deactivated doll is thrown aside and the guy tries to help his friend, who goes "Dude! You've gotta try this!" and then chases his own friend off stage. The scene ends with "Rocco" lying deactivated on a stage full of assorted adult toys. It was the last sketch before our intermission, so we simply had him stand up in his thong and announce drinks in the lobby.

I played the guy who originally ordered "Jenna", and my director Mike played the guy who, er, got it in the end. None of our group are really the type who could be considered boy toys, but the guy who played "Rocco" was Danny, our youngest and probably our most romantically active one. And yes, all he was wearing was a leather jacket and a very thin thong.

Hahaha! I can't imagin you reaching down some guys thong to switch his "thingy" off.

Wow. humm. Not exactly what I was expecting https://forums.windrivers.com/

I can't help but feel I'm missing a part of the puzzle here.

How exactly is Darren involved in this?

You just *have* to tell us now! https://forums.windrivers.com/

It was a very loose connection, first off it was his, Cobra's, and a couple other people's discussion of the Real Doll company that first inspired me (That and the Buffybot from Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and then I needed a name that the company would give to the robotic male lover... and his alternate persona of Rocco Siffredi struck me as the perfect thing to model a doll intended for women off of.

The gay angle came about because one of the funnier things I do when writing sketches is to put people into positions where they are completely and totally SCREWED, so badly that you can't help but laugh at them or in sympathy with them... for example, another favourite sketch of mine involves the aftermath of a guy picking a fight with a hypnotist. You can imagine what happens to him. https://forums.windrivers.com/

In the case of "Rocco" the "screwed" part just turned out to be a little closer to the truth than it normally does... https://forums.windrivers.com/
