A sketch comedy series that delivers outrageous, fast-paced, and satirical takes on everyday absurdities—from killing Santa to press conferences after sex—exposing the hilarity in modern relationships, social norms, and human flaws.

SYNOPSIS:

Shock Therapy is a half-hour sketch comedy pilot that blends sharp wit with surreal premises to lampoon love, family, pop culture, and society. Opening with a “breaking news” celebration over an underdog scoring a phone number, the show dives into a series of escalating sketches: two sisters accidentally kill Santa and cover it up with their mom’s approval, a man lusts after another woman’s cappuccino rather than her looks, a friendship is tested by a fake marshmallow allergy emergency, and sports-style commentators analyze an awkward first date like it’s the NBA finals.

Other sketches push the absurd even further: a ghost punishes typos in a haunted house sale, a blind employee eviscerates a patronizing co-worker, a brutally honest “selfie coach” tells callers their baby is ugly, an unlicensed doctor performs illegal surgeries in public parks, and a marriage unravels over a game of UNO. The pilot closes with a post-sex press conference, complete with reporters dissecting performance and orgasms.

Through heightened scenarios and deadpan delivery, Shock Therapy thrives on flipping the mundane into the ridiculous, balancing satire, dark humor, and character-driven absurdity. It positions itself as a bold, joke-heavy sketch show with the potential to connect with fans of Key & Peele, Chappelle’s Show, and I Think You Should Leave.
