Average Joe by Also anonymous - In a world full of Superheroes, only one man can save the Earth from its demise.  Short, Comedy

And rim-shot! My second read and second entry with a lot of Canadian references - too funny. My favorite line, though, was "It's comprised of some of the most elite superheroes and Aquaman." Snap! Just no respect.

Very funny with too many one-liners to count. My only beef is the use of (CONT'D) after character names - distracting and unnecessary. But that's me.

Meets all the requirements. Good work, writer. Good luck!

Wow, you really have no love for Aquaman, though the Russians seem to be a close second.

I think (cont'd) is fine to use, in fact it's a default on the better writing programs.

I did see the following three bits of dialogue and got confused. I'm guessing this was just some missed formatting/editing?

PROFESSOR XAVIER
Do we have any more female
superheroes?

BAR COUNTER
Laura glances at Joe.

LAURA
My time to shine, and by that, I
mean my hair.


Poor Canada.

Very funny! There is some confusing dialogue and rough writing but, overall, it's a good story. Keep working on it!

Ahaha, I'm going to reread to laugh some more.
"That's like every superhero under one roof. Possibly dead" - my favorite.
Stan Lee - the whole thing is too much fun.

Oh Laura... And she did save the planet - it was all her idea! She has hair, so... maybe the cleanness of the hair saves her time and allows her to think more. And she thought up how to save the world! You did it!

it's clearly has to be my favorite. Even without the hair it would be

Moments of genius, and moments of meh.
Entertaining mishmash of everything, and Will Smith deserves everything you threw at him.

Love the hair!

Very funny

I noticed a typo with the Bar counter as dialogue

Some great lines and you're own little "Easter Egg"  SS Writer as one of Stanley's creations

It all came together in the end even meeting his DAD

A good entry and met all parameters.

I think it's a typo, but I now have an image of Joe 'jestering' to the barman, singing and a dancing as he tells a joke or two.

Anyways...

Sustained comedy is hard to do, especially whilst trying to meet the criteria, but you've done a great job - properly had me chuckling!

Good job!

Another laugh out loud offering - not to be repetitive but this is also a fave!  Some great one-liners for sure - as a matter of fact I read it twice, just so I didn't miss anything.  Logical superheroes - love those - especially the SS Writers!  The only thing I questioned was how in the world someone thought of "clean hair" as a
superpower....oh wait...

Hi Writer

Looks like you had a lot of fun writing this one! Kudos because it was fun to read.
What a nice family to do that for their brother/son

Bonus points for the Russia jokes.

All the best

Writer,

As a comedy, this script definitely had its moments — helping the old lady cross the street being one that had me laughing out loud. The hodgepodge of different superheroes was a bit much, and it took a while to get to the actual story. More clarity would have helped, as well as trimming the opening, which went on a bit too long. Otherwise, a fun read that had me smiling throughout. Nice work!

Another comedy sketch. Interesting. Writer with some fairly good chops for the amusing. I think you should rewrite this sketch as a feature with more clarification on who has the real rower and develop the hair bit. I didn't really connect with the hair...not that my baldness distorts my judgement. I guess its just a female thing. But you have a well written comedy on your hands and more people need to see your work. There's no reason a major studio or streaming service won't pick this up if it's worked on. America likes to laugh. So give this a dedicated good try and see what happens.
Glad you entered and hit all the criteria.

Writer.

Timing is probably the hardest thing about Comedy. I guess the saying "Dying is easy, comedy is hard" couldn't be more true when it comes to writing lol....

I'm known for having a terrible sense of humor, but to my shock and awe, I found it mildly amusing, so good job, no issues with the craft, I just think it went on longer than it needed to be. Imo. Thanks for the laughs.

The half-line "and Aquaman" was great. The guy who had tumbleweeds roll out his mouth was also really clever. Good blend of old-school heroes and weird new stuff. Lots of funny lines. Felt a little bit long, but otherwise a success.

My favourite part about this entry is simply 'THE MINIMIZER'

That is great. Great name, great concept. A base for a great feature, me thinks.

In terms of 'Average Joe' as a whole, half worked a treat and half didn't quite land for me. I think I enjoyed the crazy nature of the second half of the story more so than the part in the dive bar. Whilst it was an interesting setup, some of the lines jus seemed weird as opposed to comic -

WONDERWOMAN
Guys, settle down. I'm not Mystique.
You're not gonna have blue balls.

I get Mystique is blue and is a shape shifter, but I couldn't get my head around why wonder women would say this.

But then, later on there lines like this --

STANLEY
No. No. No. You turn major disasters
into a minor. You killed the Old Lady but saved School children. Think outside the box.

Which I thought were great, and def funny.

Wonderfully creative entry, good luck.
