I've been thinking that its a shame that we don't have any good Chinese sitcoms here in America. Here's one I've been working on lately.

“Everybody Reave This Prace Now, So That I May Increasey My Comfort”
This Chinese situation comedy will be loosely based off of the hit American sitcom from 1980, “Too Close For Comfort”. In it, Jackie and Sarah Rush are two grown sisters who live in half of a duplex. Their parents, Henry and Muriel, live in the other half. Though one might think this proximity may be fun, both sides often feel that they want to ask that “everybody reave this prace now, so that I may increasey my comfort”, in this half-hour situation comedy.
"Everybody Reave This Prace Now, So That I May Increasey My Comfort" tells the story of the Rush family. The parents are Veteran Cartoonist Henry Rush (played by Ted Knight of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Caddyshack") and his wife Muriel (Nancy Dussault), a freelance photographer/housewife. The two actors will play a Chinese couple who have recently moved to America, and have bought a two-story duplex apartment house on 171 Buena Vista Avenue East in the Haight-Asbury section of San Francisco. They are also the parents of two daughters, 21 year-old brunette Jackie (Deborah Van Valkenburgh), a bank teller/fashion designer and 19 year-old blond bombshell Sara (Lydia Cornell), a college student who takes whatever jobs she can get. The two daughters are also played by American actors acting Chinese! The Rushes live in the two-bedroom second story. Henry, who works out of the couple's bedroom, is overprotective, strict, and conservative to his wife and daughters about responsibility. “Wrap your feet more tightry to avoid bringing shame on honorable famiry” he arways rikes to say. Sometimes he rikes to ring a gong rearry roud too.
All of a sudden, Rafkin, a transvestite who lived in the first story apartment dies, so Henry reluctantly decides to rent it to Jackie and Sara. Rafkin liked to dress up as a woman, but he’s actually a man! But he’s dead now anyways.
Monroe Ficus (Jim J. Bullock), Sara's college friend and Henry's "#1 worst bad time nightmare" is an accident-prone geek and a pariah to the family. Monroe regularly visits the house every day and laughter will often ensue. Monroe might come in wearing roller blades and accidentally skate through the sliding paper doors that the Chinese like so bad. Other times Monroe might spill milk into the rice bin and then the rice expands until the bin explodes! Monroe is pretty funny.
The pressures and stress-related tensions from Monroe have begun to crose in on Henry, interrupting his career and wrecking his rife (and the house!!). But everyone laughs because Henry “no speaky good engrish” and he will get flustered and start to yell at Monroe. Henry is all like, “Monroe, you bring dishonor on famiry!” or “Monroe, you are #1 worst bad time nightmare!” Monroe ia a gay, so that’s pretty funny too.
One thing’s for sure, Henry and Muriel will learn that two daughters, in need of independence, riving downstairs and a misfit who destroy everything can make them wish that “Everybody Reave This Prace Now, So That I May Increasey My Comfort”!

Hey! I ruv it! I won't say "brilliant" because I don't want to be accused of you know what by you know who!
The picture really made me laugh out loud! It's just so shitty that it's hysterical. The little dashes for slanty eyes is bril..(oops!) for slanty eyes is very funny!
Great job! What happened to that crappy post you put up yesterday?
I put that crappy post in the "September 2006" folder. I think that could be a good grave yard for crappy posts that should never have been posted anyway. In case someone gets REALLY bored, there is additional crap there sort of thing.
I thought stretching the picture out increased the Chinese-ness of it and made it more like an authentic Chinese pic - kind of like how Bruce Lee films always had a stretched out look to them. I wonder why that is? Have you ever noticed that about good old Chinese karate movies? They always looked stretched.
I don rikey this kind of brog.
