The Black List On ‘Redeeming Fat Bastard’

“This is a great comedy sample that should be on the desks of anyone producing a hard-comedy TV show.”

“This script is the best kind of stunt spec. Its brand of humor feels deeply loyal to the Austin Powers franchise from which Fat Bastard comes from, but it's also funny and varied enough to entertain someone with little to no knowledge of the original movies. It is gross, shocking, disturbing, and among the funniest scripts about a baby-eating, 1-ton man you are ever likely to read. The plot is smartly crafted be rather simple, largely confined to the prison and concerned with FB's prison break. But there's an impressive amount heart buried under all of the diarrhea and infant cannibalism jokes. The set up of his backstory actually manages to give the character something resembling depth. And, the inclusion of his daughter, Big Bitch, gives FB an actual arc that has some real emotion to it. The physical comedy is violent and creative. The humor is often meta and culturally referential, but it never feels like it winks too much at the audience to lose its comedic effect. All in all, the writer leaves nothing on the table. There's no joke left unsaid. They take maximum advantage of the concept they've set up.”

In 2003, my 6th grade football team volunteered to clean-up Seeley’s Pond, a public park in Watchung, NJ.

While cleaning up a wooded area of the park, we discovered a bag of guns. We alerted our coaches immediately.

The Union County Board awarded us with the certificate below, commending the “Scotch-Plains PAL ‘D’ Squad Contact Football Team” for handling the situation responsibly.
