Ideas we wish Saturday Night Live would consider

Occasionally, as Craig and I are sitting around watching TV, we have these great ideas for spoofs we think Saturday Night Live would love.  Sadly, the Saturday Night Live website doesn't agree and will not take random submissions.  This, unfortunately for you dear reader, leaves me to share these strange thoughts here on this blog.

Now for these to work, you need to have some familiarity with the basic premise of the show, and since I know I have readers who profess to "not watch that much TV", hmmpf, I shall provide some explanation of the show premise.

Scenario #1 - Project Runway - Extreme Challenge

• premise: a dozen or so clothing designers compete to be the big winner (lots of $$, fame, etc), each show a different crazy challenge is given to the group, like "make mother/daughter matching outfits for under $50 total", at the end of each show the worst designer is eliminated.  The designers are highly motivated to win the contest.

now imagine they are down to the last 4 or 5 contestants, the winner of this night's challenge gets to dress a big Hollywood star for the Oscar's (major big deal for designers).

As the host, Tim Gunn,  enters the cutting/sewing back room, all the remaining contestants look expectantly at  him, he puts his hands together and sorts of hides a grin behind his steepled fingers:  "Designers, today's challenge will be to make a fashionable raincoat for some underprivileged little ones".  The designers are obviously expecting cute little children, but as the door opens behind the host, in walks animal shelter workers leading scruffy mutts behind them on leashes. 

Now, being the eager contestants they are, they immediately start petting the dogs (even the flaming queen who hates dogs) and trying to work out cute doggie coat designs.  They are really taking this seriously and begin cutting and sewing furiously to try to wow the judges with their fun and funky designs.

Several hours into the challenge, in walks the host again and says "Designers, we are going to add a little wrinkle to this challenge", dun, dun, dun, pregnant pause, "the remainder of this challenge will have to be completed... without the use of your HANDS!" . Gasp! all the contestants then start frantically crawling around the dogs on hands and knees, trying to pull the garments into place with their mouths, noses, elbows, whatever, just not their hands!  Ha, Ha, Ha

I think this would be quite hilarious especially with crazy professional comedians who can just run wild with the concept and improvise super insane antics!!

stay tuned for more crazy TV spoof ideas, like "Ghost Hunters, Pet Edition"
