Sure Cure is a One Minute Drama from The Red Skelton Hour episode, Love Is an Itch You Can’t Scratch. It deals with a commercial for indigestion …
Props:
- A large shirt for the “patient” clown.
- A large balloon underneath the patient clown’s shirt – his “indigestion”
- A prop pill, that actually opens to reveal a large pin
The Sketch:
Two people come on stage, for the commercial that’s paying for the show. One is the “patient”, suffering from indigestion. Actually a large balloon under his shirt and in his pants. The other clown explains that their sponsor has the instant cure for indigestion. He pulls apart the clown-sized pill, and reveals a large pin!
He then pops the giant balloon — “Instant relief!” Not only does the balloon pop, but the clown’s pants fall down!
