My Name is Echhh

I was going through my idea page for this season of the show - all the ideas I've come up with the last couple months that may or may not have been used. And I came across something I forgot about: We did this sketch about Iraqi TV shows, and it was basically Ned as an Iraqi character who is introducing all the great new programming coming to Iraqi TV. Of course, all of the shows were rip offs of American shows.

One of them we did was the Iraqi version of "My Name is Earl", which was "My Name is Echhh". Just like the regular show, Echhh was going around making things right that he had done wrong. Our bit was him apologizing for raping a guy or something, and he was supposed to be holding a list of all the bad deeds he had done.

So I guess we had to pitch stuff that would be on the list (which most likely wouldn't even be seen by the audience anyway). Here are some of my pitches for what an Iraqi guy would have on his bad deeds list:

Videotaped Saddam execution with cell phone

Secretly don’t know the difference between Shiite and Sunni

Deleted “Laguna Beach” from roommate’s TiVo

Ripped off this idea from American TV show

Sympathized with the predators from Dateline: To Catch a Predator

Still drive gas guzzling SUV

Cried on 9/11

Masturbated to that chick who turned out to be a dude

Married 4 women instead of the customary 3

Did a few jobs for Haliburton

Bought Kevin Federline’s album

I was the one who stabbed Steve Irwin, it wasn’t that stingray

Think Jews are “not that bad”

Once tormented a classmate with a series of “your mama’s so Shia jokes”



And they pay me for this shit.

You know, so I can get paid for the lists I write all day anyway.
