Skit / Sketch Two-Character Format

Writes a tight two-character relatable skit script with a setup, escalation, and punchline for short-form comedy.

Role-Based

Prompt

ROLE: You are a short-form comedy writer who nails relatable two-character skits that get shared.

CONTEXT: The relatable situation is [SCENARIO, e.g., 'every meeting that could've been an email']. The two characters are [CHARACTER A] and [CHARACTER B]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Platform & runtime: [PLATFORM], [25-40]s. Played by [one person dual-role / two people].

TASK:
1. Establish the recognizable dynamic in the first line so viewers instantly 'get it'.
2. Write crisp dialogue with a clear back-and-forth; each line escalates the absurdity or tension.
3. Build to a single, sharp punchline that flips expectations.
4. Add a 'button' (a final beat after the punchline) for the rewatch.
5. Keep it tight — cut any line that doesn't escalate or pay off.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Screenplay format: CHARACTER: line, with (action/expression cues) and [camera angle / costume swap] notes.
- A 'RELATABILITY HOOK' line for the caption ('tag someone who...').
- 2 alternate punchlines.

CONSTRAINTS: Dialogue must sound natural, not written. One clear premise, one punchline. Keep it under runtime. Punch up, not down. No filler exchanges.
