any ideas for a comedy monologue??

Question

i have to do a comedy monologue where i wouold have to be a dumb, stupid, worthless, superhero who screws up in everything he does.. i couldn't think of any good way to make my classmates laugh.. im afraid they would think it's too corny.. know any good punchlines or something? and also.. know any good ending? i'm thinking of ending it somthing like a doctor approaches him and it turns out that the superhero was some madman who escaped from an asylum and the doctor drags him out of the scene.. is that okay? also, the monologue should last for 5mins maximum so i cant put in so much to it.. any good ideas on what the flow of the story could be? thanks y'all.. ^_^

Answer 1

well, i was thinking you could do something from the show "Who's Line is it Anyway". if you watch some of the episodes, they have some hillarious skits. hope that helped :)

Answer 2

your approach above will crash and burn and you'll fall on your face. you need to think about things that affect YOU PERSONALLY - listen to Jerry Seinfeld - he talks about his trip to the dry cleaners, or whatever. You have to talk about your own personal experiences. What causes you pain. What makes life hard for you. That's where you have to stop. Don't try to be something you aren't. If you aren't dumb,stupid, worthless or a superhero - dont' get up there and try to act that way - they put you in a bad position asking you to act like that - don't do it. be yourself. putting together a 5 minute monologue takes time. Dont' expect it to.
