We've written a re-jig of Dr Strangelove called M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction). We got a "worth considering" grade from SYS. We blasted it out and didn't get a single request. Everyone who's looked at it says it reads like an extended SNL skit. We hired a consultant should who said we should try to get the folks at SNL to do a podcast. No agent, no dice. What do you do with a 100% timely script that's too over the top for contests or reps but too good to give up on?

Produce it yourself. Maybe not the whole thing, but enough to show proof of concept. Throw that on youtube. Ample hits will bolster your sales pitch.

Contests and Reps don’t want fan fiction scripts. SNL doesn’t either.
