I had an idea for a little video I was gonna make, but I don't have the time or resources necessary, so I decided to type up a script for you guys and hopefully you can do it.  Here's the first page, I can email you the whole thing if you want it.

Wreckless Media Radio Vidcast – “The Psychiatric Office”

Characters:
Dr. Schultz  Schultz is a psychiatrist who somehow managed to get his degree even though he is a complete quack and a nutcase.  He is more insane than his patients are, and loves to constantly annoy his patients and act like everything’s normal.  He dresses in a nice business suit and tie, like any respectable doctor would.

Alan Johnson  Alan is a pussy who married a bitch of a wife who is constantly abusing him.  He’s been too timid to do anything about it until he finally got the balls to see a psychiatrist about it.  When someone is fucking with him, like they always do, he never says anything about it because he’s a little baby.  He talks awkwardly, with some pauses and stammers, but not enough to be annoying.  He dresses in a button down, and khakis with a belt; basically, like a dork.

Schultz’s Secretary  She’s just as insane as Schultz is, but she never says anything.  All she does is sit behind her desk, typing/slamming gibberish (and not WMR gibberish, nonsensical gibberish) on a typewriter non-stop while loudly smacking the same piece of gum she’s been chewing on for the last 2 years non-stop.  She should be played by a man with an obviously fake wig, possibly worn slightly askew, and throw pillows for tits.

Setting:
Schultz’s office should be a comfortable setting for any psychiatric patient, with a diploma or two on the wall, some foliage, perhaps a Zen-like miniature fountain and a white noise machine.  Patients sit or lie down on the couch while Schultz himself sits in his big chair (think just a few steps down in snobbishness of something a rich asshole banker would sit in).  The secretary sits behind a professional desk, like something at a regular doctor’s office.  The typewriter is directly in the middle, with nothing else on the desk.  No phones, no pens, the desk is completely bare save for the typewriter.

Props:
Notepad and pen for Schultz
Feather duster
Old, beat up typewriter; even if (especially if) it’s missing some keys and barely functioning
Can of mace, pepper spray, something along the lines of that (You don’t really have to get maced in the face this time, you know, you can always fake it).

So apparently I haven't piqued your interest enough, so I will post the first second page and see what you people think of that.

(Scene starts with Schultz and Alan walking into Schultz’s office)
ALAN: I really appreciate you taking the time to see me on such notice, Dr. Schultz, I-I didn’t know where else to turn.

SCHULTZ: (Closing door behind him) Well, I’m here to help you with your problems, Mr. Johnson.  Please, have a seat on the couch.  Make yourself comfortable.  (Sits down in his chair and crosses his legs)
Now, tell me what’s troubling you.

ALAN: (Takes seat on the couch, staring off into distance as he talks, but takes his time as he is a little nervous) Well… About two days ago, I was eating my breakfast cereal… it was Cheerio’s, by the way…

SCHULTZ: (Without looking up from his notepad, which he is dutifully taking notes down on) The Breakfast of Champions, yes.

ALAN: (Looking at Schultz) Right, well, (Back to staring into distance) I was just eating the cereal in silence, minding my own business, when all of a sudden… my—my wife, she came in, and she threw the bowl of Cheerio’s off the table and started beating me with her fists, and—

SCHULTZ: (Sniggers a little, Alan looks at him and stares in slight shock.  Schultz stops and stares back)
Please, continue. (There are multiple “Please, continues” throughout, and they must all be said the exact same way)

ALAN: (Shakes it off, tries to return to his tale) Oh, right, well anyways, she just started beating me with her fists, and this lasted for a few minutes or so, but it felt like forev --

SCHULTZ: (Giggles to himself, Alan looks at him in confusion.)

ALAN: Is something wrong, Dr. Schultz?

SCHULTZ: (Immediately stops giggling and puts on a serious face, looking at Alan.)  No, nothing’s wrong.  Why would it be?

ALAN: (Quizzical and slightly offended)… You were giggling for a moment there.

SCHULTZ: (Taking slight offense to this accusation) No I wasn’t.  I never laugh at my patients or their problems.  EVER.  That’s what makes me a doctor.  (Back to being a friendly doctor) Please, continue.


So?  Tell me what you people think of this.

I wouldn't really expect you to, but I'm hoping some forum vets read this and give me feedback.

Also there are 5 more pages of this, and it gets more and more ridiculous as it goes on.

Is this meant to be quirky humor?

It's not out there enough for a Wreckless media sketch.
Can the Psychiatrist be naked and soaked in vaseline, and the patient have his mouth filled with water and live fish?

ridiculous at a linear rate or exponentially because it's kind of a jump from funny to hilarious.

It's mostly a linear rate, but it's pretty ridiculous by the end, but if you want to write a script about a man who runs through a mall naked and gives lollipops to children and is secretly John Steinbeck's great-great grand child, don't let me stop you.

There's teabagging, macing, and murder, if it makes you feel any better.  But if you still want Vaseline, I can always shove a whole bottle up your ass like you used to do.
