Slapstick Everyday Life Top-Five Shorts

I want to create a series of five quick-fire slapstick sketches that each count down a playful “top five” of everyday adult situations—think spilled coffee disasters, awkward elevator rides, or grocery-store mishaps worthy of a cartoon banana-peel gag. The tone should stay firmly in physical, over-the-top comedy territory while still feeling relatable to an adult audience.
Here’s what I need from you:
• Five individual short scripts (60–90 seconds each) built around a clear “Top 5” structure.
• Visual gag directions and basic staging notes so performers or animators can see the joke instantly.
• Snappy openings, punchy transitions between numbered moments, and a big closing payoff.
• Dialogue kept minimal; let the physical beats do most of the talking.
• A brief creator’s note for each short explaining prop or location needs.
I’ll provide quick feedback after the first script to lock in timing, tone, and pacing, then you can roll through the remaining four. If you have past slapstick writing or reel links, please mention them so I can get a feel for your style. Looking forward to laughs on paper that will translate straight to the screen.
