The MacScouter's Big Book of Skits -- T through V
Requires a lot of imagination
or some props to show that these guys are horses and a Martian.
Cast: 2 Horses, Martian,
perhaps some costumes
Setting: Race Track
If necessary, explain
that these are two horses and a Martian.
#1: You know, I had a
bad day on the track today. My rider must have eaten a lot last night,
because he was a lot heavier than usual, so my back got really tired
and I almost tripped.
#2: I've had similar
problems. My rider hits me in the side so much with his feet that I
can't run because it hurts so much.
#1: Say, did you hear
that the ugly mare is going to be entered into the grooming contest?
The mane on that thing just doesn't compare to either of ours.
#2: You're right. Things
in the racing world just don't seem to be fair to us horses.
Martian: You know, I
could help you two out with your problems.
#1 & 2: Look! A talking
Martian!
This skit requires little
preparation and no props, and has only two speaking parts. It can use
a cast of hundreds, and it is full of blood, gore, and dead bodies. That
makes it perfect for Cub Scouts and campfires.
Preparation
The Wizard and the lone
Scout need to rehearse their lines, and everybody should practice a
few times. The practice is as much fun as the skit. Encourage all participants
to ham it up. The Wizard should wear a long bathrobe.
The Skit
A lone Scout rushes onto
the stage and screams that the enemy is coming. He has no weapons to
fight with! What should he do? "I know. I'll have to ask the Wizard.
It's my only chance to save humanity from the terrible enemy."
The Wizard enters the
stage, and the Scout rushes to him begging for help. The Wizard tells
him not to panic, and hands him a secret invisible sword. The Wizard
explains the sword, and tells him to say, "Stabety Stab!" when he uses
it. The Wizard assures the Scout that this magic sword will protect
him.
The Wizard retires to
a quiet corner of the stage.
The Scout is delighted.
He waves the sword around, and tells everybody about it. He boasts about
what he will do with it. He moves to one end of the stage.
Several enemy soldiers
sneak onto the other side of the stage, saying, "There he is" and "Let's
get him." The Scout panics as they approach, worries aloud about what
to do, and finally remembers to use the magic sword. Yelling "Stabety
Stab!" over and over, he kills all of the enemy in a mighty battle.
He is very proud of himself, and boasts of his ability.
More enemy soldiers begin
to enter. The Scout starts forward, yelling "Stabety Stab!" but the
enemy keeps on coming. The Scout rushes back to the Wizard for more
help. The Wizard gives him an invisible gun, telling him to yell, "Bangety
Bang!"
Again the Scout boasts
about his weapon, goes into battle, and kills all the enemy. Again he
boasts that he can defeat any enemy with the Wizard's magic weapons.
The situation is repeated,
and the Scout tries "Bangety Bang!" and "Stabety Stab!" without success.
This time the Wizard gives him a magic laser, for which the Scout yells,
"Zapety Zap!" Again he kills all the enemy and boasts. The Wizard quietly
disappears.
A single enemy soldier
enters the stage. He is the biggest Scout in camp. He creeps slowly
forward, as our Scout boasts about how easily he can defeat the enemy.
The enemy soldier ignores the "Stabety Stab!", "Bangety Bang!", and
"Zapety Zap!", as the Scout tries them several times. The Scout looks
desperately for the Wizard.
The enemy moves faster
across the stage. As he knocks the Scout down and runs over him, he
yells, "Tankety Tank! Tankety Tank!"
Scene: Two Cubs in a pup
tent.
Cub 1: Tie up the flap.
It's cold outside!
Cub 2: Oh, go to sleep and you won't feel the cold.
Cub 1: Oh please close the flap. It's so cold outside!
Cub 2: Jumps up, pulls down the flap, jumps back into sleeping bag).
Now, there. Is it warmer outside?

The object is to set up a
bear warning system. One at a time set up five to eight fellows standing
shoulder to shoulder. The warning system is set up by having each of them
repeating the following message:
Leader: "Thar's a Bar."
(correct pronunciation is important)
Bear Warner: "Whar?"
(be certain that he pronounces it correct, if not correct him.)
Leader: "Over Thar." (pointing with his right hand and arm extended)
A to B: "Thar's a Bar." (at which point he will probably point, so correct
him.)
B: "Whar?"
A: "Over Thar." (now he should point with the arm extended for the rest
of the skit.)
B - C: "Thar's a Bar." ... and so on until the last one says it to the
leader.
Go through the same procedure
with the left hand. The third time have both hands extended, right leg
extended, bent down. Last time the leader goes through the ritual, he
pushes the guy next to him so that the rest will fall like dominoes.
A one person skit that
is a good gag if done properly. One in which you should be careful at
the punch line -- you don't want to injure anyone.
Cast: Nature Guide, 3-4
Victims (line them up as you get them)
Guide: I'm going to bring
you through an imaginary trip to follow a bear's daily activities. First,
I need a volunteer (He will be a victim). First, we'll kneel down, you
in front of me. Then I'm going to say, "There's a bear!" and you're
going to respond, "Where?" and I'll point him out. You still won't see
him and repeat, "Where?" and I'll point him out, and then you'll say,
"Ahh. I see him, he's over there!" and point the same way I did.
Guide: There's a bear!
1: Where?
Guide: Over there!
1: Where?
Guide: Over there!
1: Ahh. I see him, he's over there!
Continue by introducing
the other victims, one at a time and lining them up in front of your
previous victim, and repeating the same sketch, but increasing the length
as you go through it in a repetitious manner ie. you point out to #1,
then he to #2, then he to #3, then he to #4. Finally,
Guide: Guess what? He
fell over! (Push over your victims)
A Scout is sitting in his
tent which is a mess, everything scattered around. Several other scouts
come over and ask what he is doing. The Scout replies he is thinking.
The other Scouts continue asking questions and are finally told, "I am
thinking about my invention." The other scouts want to help (begging and
hamming it up). Finally the Scout says, "OK, but do you rally want to
help?" The other scouts plead and beg. The Scout begins to instruct each
Scout to pick up items and place them in the tent somewhere, (continue
until everything is picked up, thereby cleaning up the tent.) When the
tent is completely picked up, the Scout says: "Well that takes care of
it". The other scouts, inquire, "takes care of what?". The Scout replies:
"My invention, I just invented a way to get my tent cleaned."
The man leads his donkey
around the campfire. "Water! Water!" cries the donkey with a raspy voice.
"Patience, jackass, patience"
says the man.

"Patience, jackass, patience"
says the man.
And they keep walking
in circles around the campfire and repeating this (about 5 times) until
someone in the audience yells, "Hey, when are you going to get to the
punch line???"
The man yells back "Patience,
jackass, patience!!"

Three guys all bandaged up
and smeared with dirt and blood come dragging into the meeting with the
disbelieving tail the fantastic battle that they had just gone through.
"what a battle, what fantastic odds, we never should have attempted it
in the first place, 3 against a 1000, unbelievable; hamming it up. Finally,
one guy says, "Yeah they were the toughest three guys I've ever seen.

tired hikers, and a "dog"
Scene: An old prospector
seated around his campfire eating dinner. First tired hiker walks up

great stew to share?"
Prospector: You bet;
hand me that bowl over there and I'll fill it up for you."
2nd Hiker (makes face
as he looks into the bowl): "This bowl seems pretty dirty to me; do

that bowl's as clean as Three Rivers can get it."
Prospector dishes up
the food; hiker shrugs and eats.
2nd Hiker: "I've got

Basically, you get the Den
or Patrol together, and they sing,
"We're three scoops of
raisins,
three scoops of raisins,
We're three scoops of raisins--
In Kellogg's Raisin Bran!"
At this point, another
scout comes runing out with a big wooden spoon, saying, "Yum yum, raisin
bran, ohh boy, I love raisin bran," and he grabs one of the raisins
and drags him off kicking and screaming. He comes back in a few seconds
later, licking his spoon in a satisfied manner.
Now the raisins singe,
"We're two scoops or raisins," etc.
Same thing happens again--guys
grabs one of the raisins, drags him off, etc.
When you get down to
the last guy, he sings, "I'm one sc--sc--oop of r-r-r-raisins," etc.,
"In K-K-K-ellogg's Raisin B-B-B-ran," looking around in a terrified
manner.
Of course, the guy comes
charging out, waving his spoon, at which point the raisin exits, singing,
"Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener..."
Fans are standing in line
waiting to buy tickets for the big game, movie, or concert. Four fans
are standing in line, saying how much they want to attend the event and
wondering when the ticket window is going to open to sell tickets. A person
walks up to the front of the line. The fans get upset telling him to not
butt in line and to go to the end of the line and began to shove him back.
This person tries once more to reach the front of the line and then gives
up and says something to the effect; "I'm giving up, they can get someone
else to open this ticket window.
A Scout is sitting in a bench
in the park reading the newspaper, getting tired he lies down for a nap.
A few minutes latter a Scout comes by, wakes him and asks for the time.
The Sleeping scouts says its 6:45. The Scout goes back to sleep. Repeat
this process three times, with it being thirty minutes latter each time(
7:15, 7:45, 8:15). The Scout then takes out a marker and writes on the
paper, "I don't have the Time!", places it over his head and goes back
to sleep. The final Scout walks up; reads the message, wakes the sleeping
scout up and says: "Hey, its a quarter to nine!

A boy with a toothache complains
to another boy. The other boy says he will help and pulls out tooth with
a pair of pliers. The boy with the toothache says wrong tooth. Another
person comes along and gives him some apples saying that will cure his
toothache. Boy ends up with a stomachache. Another person says to tie
a string to his tooth and tie the other end to a door. The door slams
in the face of the boy with the toothache. He now has a toothache, headache,
and a stomachache. Another person enters with some hedge clippers or a
axe or something. He says, "I hear you have a toothache". The boy with
the toothache says, "Not that !" and runs off the stage.
In this you need two cups
of water and four or more people. The people in the skit all line up in
a row in front of the audience. The first person in line has water in
his cup and the last person in line has an empty cup with some water hidden
in his mouth.
The skit starts off with
the narrator saying something about this is a demonstration of how a
person can brush his teeth when there is a shortage of water. The first
person takes a drink of water from his cup and proceeds to brush his
teeth with his finger. After a few seconds he stops and places his head
against the ear of the next person in line and that person's cheeks
begin to bulge out as the first persons deflate. This person (the second
person brushes his teeth with his finger for a few seconds and then
puts his mouth against the next person's ear with the same results and
son on down the line until the last person in line in reached. This
person upon finishing brushing his teeth releases the water he has in
his mouth into the cup in his hand.
Two boys enter as if following
a trail. They begin to argue over what kind of tracks they are: "I say
they are raccoon tracks" "No they're wolf tracks" "No they're badger tracks
...". The argument continues until they are suddenly run over by a train.
(Several boys linked together making chuga choo sounds, boy in front has
a flashlight.
"This is Eddy, the amazing
trained caterpillar." (Three or four guys with a sheet over them, sort
of like a Chinese New Year Dragon.) "Eddy, left!" (Everyone shambles left)
"Eddy, right!" (Everyone shambles right.) "Eddy, sit!" (The caterpillar
sits.) "Eddy, fetch!" (Throw something that can be picked up with the
feet, the first guy gets it with his foot and the others stabilize him,
return it.)
"OK, now for Eddy's best
trick. We've been practicing this all week. We need a volunteer from
the audience. Lie down, and Eddy will walk over you without harming
you!" (Eddy does it, but the last guy dumps a glass of water on the
volunteer.) "Oh! Sorry! Eddy's not potty-trained yet."

Two boys are standing on
a track arguing over what the animal that has been run over on the track
is....
#1: It's a deer
#2: Nope, it's bear
#1: I'm sure it's a deer
#2: Uh-uh... look there. It's a bear...
As this goes on continuously,
a group of scouts form a line, all holding on to each other's hips and
form a train. They then come chugging along the track towards the guys
arguing about the animal (lots of chug-chug noises here).
When they get to the
two guys arguing they run them over and then, from the first two guys
in the train line you hear....
Train #1: What'd ya think
we hit?
Train #2: It was a deer
Train #1: But it looked like a bear...
off the stage....

All the boys except one lined
up in a row facing the audience, spaced at least Three feet apart. The
remaining boy was the narrator. An adult "volunteer" Was selected; usually
this was the scoutmaster. He is instructed to stand off To the side until
he hears the word spring. That is his que to start running Between the
trees for a few minutes.
The audience is first
told the boys are trees during the summer. Their Branches are strong
and sturdy, and they are full of leaves providing shade to The forest
animals. While the narrator is talking, the "trees" raise their Arms
and mime what the narrator is saying.
Next the audience is
told about a tree in the fall and how it begins to lose Its leaves.
The "trees" should begin to sag their branches.
Next the audience is
told about a tree in the winter time and how the wind Howls through
their bare limbs. Someone can supply the sound effects if you Desire,
and the boys should be moving like their is a large gust of wind Pushing
them around.
Finally, on cue as you
say the word spring, have the volunteer move quickly Between the trees
several times. You will finish the skit by saying "...... And Also in
the springtime, notice how quickly the sap runs through the trees."
This skit can be as long
or as short as you want to make it. As each season is Discussed in as
great as detail as you want. The trees should be mimicking what The
narrator is saying. Make sure the narrator places emphasis on the word
Sap, so the audience reacts quickly to the gag.

A mother and a father had
several children, now all the children had their mouths twisted out of
shape except their son John, who they had sent to college and had just
returned. They all got ready for bed and Mother asked Father to blow out
the light. "Yes I will," was his reply. "I wish you would," said she.
"Well I will," said he. Father blows upward due to the twist in his mouth.
Father asks mother (use the same sequence of phrases as in the previous
sentence), she blows downward. Mother asks daughter, daughter blows to
the right. Mother asks son (not John) who blows to the left. Finally,
John, the college son is asked. He blows straight and blows out the candle.

(or Smell the Worst Breath in the World!) Ah you, Sir, would you like
to try?
#1: Sure, why not! I've

Continue with your other
"volunteers." Each faints with, "Oh, Gross," "He's Ugleeeee!" and so

Mad Scientist and a monster
named Harold. The mad scientist talks about his greatest creation Harold.
The scientist asks for a volunteer out of the audience. The mad scientist
tells Harold to rise up, walk forward, and then the monster gets near
the volunteer to kill him. Harold grabs the volunteer and kills him and
returns back behind the scientist. The mad scientist goes on about how
great his monster is, repeating his commands for Harold to stand up, move
forward and kill. What the mad scientist doesn't realize is that Harold
is reacting to his commands. The mad scientist continues to gloat as Harold
comes forward and kills him. Harold continues walking toward the audience
as the stage blacks out.
The singers are on stage.
An announcer explains that they are going to sing upside down! They duck
out of sight behind a curtain (a sheet held by two accomplices will do).
Placing their hands in their shoes, they wobble the shoes above the curtain
top looking as they are having trouble standing on their heads and are
about to topple over while singing. They requires practice and the assistance
of someone to direct them. To end the skit let one of the curtain holders
become distracted and accidentally drop the curtain revealing the "upside
down singers" in action."
