Bit of background, the entire script will reference a lot of popular 80s movies like Big, TeenWolf and Gremlins and stuff. Jimmy starts this opening episode as a seven-year old boy whose father has been enchanted by an evil magician into buying him a cursed cafetiere for his birthday. Jimmy soon becomes addicted to coffee and after a severe binge awakes one day to find himself as a fully grown man. His loving (but enchanted) father, rather rudely throws him out of the house and in this scene, we find Jimmy out on his own. Luckily Jimmy meets Paul the beardy aging landlord. He may be a bit wooly round the edges but his heart is in the right place. He will take Jimmy to meet his new flatmates Martin and Gregg who have their own quirks and stories to tell.
-----
INT DAY: The bus station canteen.
JIMMY sits alone at a table in the canteen. It is pouring down outside and the canteen is bleak. Empty coffee cups and cig-butts litter the table around him. He is sobbing with his head in his hands.
PAUL, a kindly but rather dotty aging bus-driver approaches from behind and lays a hand gently on his shoulder.
PAUL: Ooh! Oh-oh dearie me! Oh dear well whatever could be the matter?
JIMMY: (spluttering) My- my dad kicked me out the house. I drank a lot- too much coffee. And now I’m too old to be staying with him and I—I’ve got nowhere to go.
PAUL: Well that is terrible news. Terrible, awful news!
JIMMY: He says I’m too old to live with him and I should go out and get a job and somewhere else to live.
PAUL: Well people do tend to say a lot of things these days I suppose. I mean it really is quite confusing. They say “Hello” and “How are you?” and “How’s the family?” and “You’re looking awfully well, have you lost weight?” and “Why thank you yes, I joined the gym in February as it happens” and “Have you spoken to Elsie? I haven’t heard from her in a little while.” And—
JIMMY: (interrupting) I’m cold… Where can I get coffee?
PAUL: Yes they say that too. They say “I’m cold, it’s freezing in here” and “is your boiler on the blink?” and “Yes, I think it just needs bleeding but I’ve lost the key for the radiator” and –
JIMMY: Please?
PAUL: Sorry, you want a coffee? I’m afraid the machine is broken, and I’ve got nothing to offer except hot toddies…
(JIMMY looks grieved)
PAUL: Oh but look you must be starving! (Starts rifling through his many jacket pockets) Let’s have a look here, I might have something to cheer you up- aha! No, no that’s no good, let’s have another look… Hmmm… bit of string… some lint… a toy soldier… my keys… this thing… some tissue… a bottle cap… a squeaky rat… whatever this is…. that… this… ooh and a pen… a doctor’s appointment card… these… that… ah, ah here we go! You can have THIS!
(There is a pause)
PAUL: (as if reading from the packet) It’s called Nutty… Putty…
(PAUL looks approvingly at JIMMY who himself looks unswayed)PAUL: It’s made out of a sheep’s placenta…
(another awkward pause)
PAUL: Try it! It’s great stuff!
JIMMY: My Dad told me never to accept sweets from strangers.
PAUL: Well that may be true, but look at me. I’m not strange am I?
(very long pause)
PAUL: Hm? Well fine, don’t have it then. I’ll save it for later. You may be in luck though. One of my tenants has disappeared without trace and I’ve got a room free. There’s no point in leaving it empty so you can stay there until you find your bearings. The world can be such a confusing place! Here, I’ll give you a lift in my bus. Come with me.

EXT DAY: Outside the house.
Opening shot, JIMMY and PAUL are about to enter the house that he is to live in. You can just make out his new flatmate, GREGG’s face pressed firmly against the outside window.
INT DAY: Front room of the house.
- PAUL and JIMMY enter the small living room. A typical student-style house that looks like it hasn’t been refurbished since the late sixties. Not truly ugly but could do with a lick of paint.
PAUL: -and this is the living room where you’ll be—
- GREGG bounds up to them eagerly. Reminiscent of an oversized toddler with Osh-Kosh dungarees and cherubic blonde locks, GREGG speaks in a squeaky high pitched voice
GREGG: Paul!
PAUL: Ah well hello there Graham!
GREGG: It’s Gregg
PAUL: Sorry, Gregg. Gregg, I’d like you to meet your new—
GREGG: Oh Paul, it’s been so long since you last stopped by. We have missed you so. Is this our new flatmate?
PAUL: Yes, yes indeed it is. Jimmy, I would like you to meet Jeremiah.
GREGG: Gregg.
- JIMMY extends his hand and they shake briefly. Pulling away, JIMMY realises he has a smear of jam on his hand. He wipes it on his trouser leg.
GREGG: (in a particularly high pitched voice) Paul, do you notice anything mmmm, different about me?
PAUL: Hmm… let me see… Is that a new hat?
GREGG: That’s my hair.
PAUL: Okay, okay, new dungarees?
GREGG: No.
PAUL: New shoes?
GREGG: No.PAUL: You’ve had one of those… ha-hangovers?
JIMMY: Makeovers
GREGG: No!
MARTIN: (Piping up from a corner of the room, he has been sitting eyes glued to a video game all this time. Martin is scruffy, red-faced and speaks with a thick Ulster accent) Oh for God’s sake it’s his voice! (he carries on with his game)
GREGG: That’s right, it’s my voice! I got it changed!
PAUL: Well it’s a good deal better now. You sounded positively frightening when you first moved in.
MARTIN: I’ll say. He sounded like a rhino trying to bellow his way out of a concrete mixer.
PAUL: Ah Jimmy, this is Martin.
JIMMY: Nice to meet you, I’m Jimmy.
MARTIN: (sarcastically, without looking up) It’s a pleasure.
PAUL: (to JIMMY) Best to leave him alone when he gets like this. Hot Toddy anybody?
EVERYONE: Uh, no thanks.
PAUL: Right well then I’ll leave you to it then. If you have any problems then give us a bell.
JIMMY: Right thanks. Oh one more thi—
(but PAUL is gone)
GREGG: He is always doing that. Would you like a sweet?
JIMMY: As long as it’s not Nutty Putty.
GREGG: (producing a packet of sweets) No. They’re strawberry flumps.
- GREGG pulls a sweet out the packet and attempts to feed the sweet to him with his sticky babyish hands. Jimmy backs off and reaches for a sweet out the packet.
JIMMY: Hmm… got any coffee drops?
GREGG: Upstairs. Wanna see my collection?
JIMMY: Later… I’ve got something I need to do first. (He looks longingly at his cafetiere, just about the only possession he brought with him). Where’s the kettle Gregg?

I can see this as a strange Spaced-type show more than LoG, mostly. And when I said you need jokes, I didn't necessarily mean the characters cracking one-liners, I just meant something to make anyone laugh, even to make anyone aware that they are watching a comedy. Here we have some promising odd characters, but it is still dangerously short of amusing aspects, for me.

INT. A SCHOOL HALLWAY, BUT FANCIER THAT MOST
We see our protagonist, HANK SPINOZA, putting away books in his locker, which is quite fancy. He is approached by good friend, KILLER PLATOON, who was named by a military industrial complex dude because his parents sold his naming rights. Maybe a later episode will shed light on this bizarre and humorous situation.
HANK: Sup Killer.
KILLER: HI DERE. So have you been eyeing Fashion Girl lately?
HANK: Not any more than usual, why?
KILLER: Dude, something happened to her over the summer.
HANK: Did she grow breasts?
KILLER: Even better. She got rich.
HANK: Ah, that modeling career is finally starting to take off for her?
KILLER: No, she landed a role in a Lifetime movie about anorexia.
HANK: I didn't know she could act.
KILLER: She can't. She was the boom mic.
HANK: Oh.
KILLER: Anyway, so now I guess would be the best time to recall past memories when you and her were good friends, yes? So she will give us money for Rock Concerts!
HANK: I don't know, that was a long time ago.
***FLESHBACK***
We are in THE PAST. THE PAST is hazy. FASHION GIRL is not named FASHION GIRL, if you can believe it! Her name is Valencia (because her daddy is Dutch, so dutch=orange, yayyayay!) So HANK and VALENCIA are at a summer camp a several years ago before the ravages of puberty made them both weirdos (so, they're like 11). They are at a distance from the HAPPY CAMPERS who are around a CAMP FIRE
HANK: This sucks.
VALENCIA: I agree, let's be pals.
They smile.
***BACK TO THE PRESEEEENT***
HANK: After that, she went off and got into Fashion and she pretended like I never existed.
KILLER: Aw, don't cry, buddy!
HANK: (obviously not emoting) I wasn't--
KILLER: It's all right, don't let THE PAST suppress your outpouring of emotion.
HANK: Dude, I'm fine it's just--
KILLER: (stern-faced) Look. We're gonna get that bitch, so help me FUCKING GOD. And we'll show her the real meaning of KILLER -- AR AR AR AR AR AR AR!
HANK looks scared (his friend is barking for no reason!)
KILLER: Or maybe you can just rekindle the friendship and get some cash, please!
HANK: Dude, I dunno.
KILLER: Okay, so I'll just beat the shit out of her and steal her Prada bag and sell it to someone in the inner city, huh, how about that?
HANK: I don't like it when you've been drinking.
Insert FASHION GIRL who wears FANCY CLOTHES AND MAKEUP and has NO ASS.
KILLER: There she is, now's your chance!
HANK is shoved forcefully in HER direction.
HANK: Uh, hey Valencia!
***MANY GASPS***
FASHION GIRL stops dead in her tracks, as does everyone else in the scene. She looks scorned and is bleeding out of her eyeballs. Or maybe that's mascara running from the sweat cos it's awfully hot outside, hoo lawdy.
FASHION GIRL: (like one of those creepy robot alien things from AI, except not as benevolent!) I do not think you understand the gravity of your error in identity. I am the embodiment of fashion. I make fashion in the lavatory, I liquify fashion and drink fashion and I eat fashion on a bed of baby spinach and iceberg lettuce because I must make fashion for the lavatory later that day.
HANK: Valencia, I think you're taking this a bit--
FASHION GIRL: Silence, peon. (To someone off camera) Remove the waste.
SHADOWY FIGURE emerges from THE SHADOWS and removes HANK and KILLER (for some reason!) to a new, completely dark locale. From behind the darkness, there is FASHION GIRL.
FASHION GIRL: Hank, I thought my inexplicably bitchy distance from you was enough, but I'm not going to be friends with you, EVER.
KILLER: Oh, he doesn't want to be friends with you--
HANK: Now, wait, Killer--
FASHION GIRL: You...you don't want to be MY friend? But everyone wants to be my friend! There is a two-year waiting list to be my friend! I throw the best parties, have all the best connections--
SHADOWY FIGURE: Gives the best head, too.
FASHION GIRL: Why wouldn't you want to be my friend, Hank?
KILLER: Look, since you're totally loaded, we thought we could mooch off you and maybe get tickets to Rock Concerts! For fun times!
FASHION GIRL: Hank! How could you?
HANK: That isn't true!
FASHION GIRL: Take them back to the surface, Felicio!
SHADOWY FIGURE: (emerges from the darkness to reveal an average dude with average hair, complexion and sperm count.) Oh, thanks, now they know I'm your henchman.
FASHION GIRL: I'll have you demoted to office clerk if you give me lip again.
SHADOWY FIGURE, NOW FELICIO WTF: I'm--
FASHION GIRL: Come again?
FELICIO: I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
FASHION GIRL: Bitch, what fucking Disneyworld ride do you think this is? It's sure as shit not Magic Mountain, it's the fucking Tower of Terror!
FELICIO: (weeping)
FASHION GIRL: Now get the fuck out of here and take these nobodies with you.
FELICIO: (sobbing and cowering) Yes'm.

You don't necessarily need to know the answers to these questions, yet, but you will definitely need to know before you are through, because there are considerations of cost, setting and technical limitations for each of these.
As for the whole script, will the comedy derive from farcical elements, or will it rely more on keenly observed details of character? Are you aiming for a series of gags? How will it pace out and if it is a slow-paced humor, how will you keep interest up between the funny bits?
My problem with reading the small fragment you posted is that is appears to be aiming at a slower, broader effect and a fairly low-keyed humor. There's not a lot of humor developed in so short a scene and not much to critique. You've got Paul acting dotty for a short time - well and good - and Jimmy acting, well...
Jimmy is problematic. Why in the name of all that's holy does he just spill his guts to the first stranger who says howdy to him? Then a few lines later he is acting somewhat mistrustful and reserved? Is this due to extreme immaturity and hysteria? Does this set up some later humor, or did you just not know how to transition Paul into the scene?
If you want to end up with a good, strong script based on characters and plot (as opposed to a series of sharp, funny gags that paper over your characters' inconsistencies with farce), then you need to examine each turn in the plot to see if you've established a believable basis for it in your characters. The basis can be far less well-developed and less nuanced than in a drama, but you have to offer at least a scrap of motivation and consistancy. Not knowing what Jimmy has said and done before this, it's hard to know what he's doing here.
If you think you are writing farce or sketch humor, go back and make it about 200% funnier and weirder. Watch the Marx brothers or Abbott and Costello.
― Aimless (Aimless), Saturday, 27 August 2005 17:55 (nineteen years ago)
On further thought, the best thing would be to just go ahead and write as much as you can of this script, for as long as it holds your interest. Don't worry about finishing it. Don't worry about the details. Just write a bunch of scenes as funny as you can make them. Scriptwriting is a very technical craft, but you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and what's more important at this stage in your writing is having ideas and learning to develop them into scenes.
Write a lot. Just have at it.
― Aimless (Aimless), Saturday, 27 August 2005 18:13 (nineteen years ago)
Bit of background, the entire script will reference a lot of popular 80s movies like Big, TeenWolf and Gremlins and stuff.
I don't want to tell you not to go through w/ your idea. But I write/perform sketch comedy and also see quite a bit of it. I also work writing screenplay coverage, a lot of which are broad comedies. I've seen TONS of stuff in this vein and not only there a lot of it, but it's generally TERRIBLE. Unless these sorts of references are useful, I would suggest avoiding them. Writing jokes around references--esp. 80s refs--rarely works.

INT day: Motor station military tableware. The Jimmy list sits alone in a military tableware's table. It pours out in exterior, and the military tableware is bleak. Spatial coffee cup and nearby him cigarette abutment reject table. He sobs with him in his hand's head. Paulo, a unkindness, but the quite aging bus driver a little from behind in his shoulder is close and gently laying aside.
Paulo: Ooh! Oh oh dear I! Oh dear well what is possibly a question?
Jimmy: (muttered that) my my father dismisses my house. I have drunk the complete many coffee. And now I am too old cannot stay with him in the same place, and I-I has there is no place to go.
Paulo: Is the fearful news well. Fearful, fearful news!
Jimmy: He said me too old not to be able to live with him, and I should exit and obtain the work and other place housing.
Paulo: The good people favored in saying very many matters I the days supposition. I meant that it is truly quite chaotic. They said that “you are good” and “how are you?” And “how is the family?” And “you are very fearfully attractive, has weight which you lose?” And “why is thanks, I have joined gymnastics in February, it has” and “you spoke with Elsie? I have not received her incoming letter soon”.
With Jimmy: (interrupt) I am cold… Where am I at to be possible to obtain the coffee?
Paulo: Was they also says that. They said that “I am cold, it ices up in here”, and “is you the boiler which blinks?” And “is, I thought that it needs to bleed, but I lost radiator's key” and -
Jimmy: Invites?
Paulo: The regret, you want the coffee? I am afraid the machine am broken, and my anything has not provided except the fragrant hot liquor…
(Jimmy looks like grieves)
Paulo: Oh, but looked that you are certainly hungry! (starting rifling through his many jacket pocket) we examines here, perhaps I have something to cheer your aha! No, has not been does not have the good deed, we have another look… Hmmm…Has bitten the string…Some cotton velvets…Toy soldiers…My key…This matter…Some organization…Bottle cap…Screamed mouse…Any this is….
