OK, Maybe It's Me

I had this idea for a short film, something like you'd see on You-Tube (which I never look at, unless someone sends me something). It was what I thought was a really esoteric joke, and funny because it was so inappropriate. But Der Weiderschlaussen didn't seem to think much of it. So, let me know if you get it.

OK, it's about Gerald Ford and James Brown, who are currently touring separately, coming together for a special viewing for folks who are fans of both of them. A sort of "Together for the Last Time - Gerry and Jim!" show.

The opening shot is a large theater stage with a red curtain drawn, sort of like that curtain in that room in Twin Peaks, you know, the room where everybody talks backwards? Anyway, it's a stationary shot of the curtain, perhaps with "I Feel Good" playing in the background.

The curtain opens to 2 coffins standing side by side, one with Gerald Ford, and one with James Brown, facing the audience. There is silence for about 10 seconds.

Finally, the body of Gerald Ford falls forward out of his coffin, face down on the stage. Laugh track. The curtain closes.

So, is that too esoteric? Too obtuse? Too inappropriate? Too sick?

There's something about it that I like. But I do have an odd sense of humor.
