*Fade into Alistair Cookie's library*

ALISTAIR COOKIE: *Sipping milk from wine glass* Ah... superb... *Looks towards camera* Ah, welcome, welcome to Monsterpiece Theater, me your host Alistair Cookie, and tonight, me pleased to bring to you, that classic, sleepy tale about a astronaut who dreams of girl who grant him wishes... your guess good as mine, it "I Dream of Genie"... and now, sit back, and enjoy "I Dream of Genie"...

*Fade into an office inside NASA headquarters, where pumpkin AM as Major Coney JerryNelson is patiently awaiting the arrival of his best friend, green AM Major Dodger Silly*

DODGER: *Slips through the door* Hey, Coney!

CONEY: Dodger, where have you been?

DODGER: Oh you know, the usual... dodging General Scraper everywhere I go.

CONEY: Well, you know how Generals are.

DODGER: Oh yeah, so have you been to see Dr. Jellos today?

CONEY: *Chuckles* Dodger, I already told you, I don't need to see Dr. Jellos, there's nothing wrong with me!

DODGER: There's not what he seems to think, because he's been waiting in his office for you to show up!

CONEY: Well, he's in for a long wait, because I'm not seeing him today.

DR. JELLOS: *Over the intercom* Major JerryNelson?

CONEY: *Sighs* Yes, Dr. Jellos?

DR. JELLOS: *Over the intercom* Major JerryNelson, I'd like to see you in my office, as soon as possible.

CONEY: As SOON as possible?

DR. JELLOS: *Over the intercom* AS soon as possible.

CONEY: Yes sir...

*Coney gets up from his desk, and starts walking out the door*

DODGER: Well, can't lose them all, good buddy.

CONEY: I'll remember that...

*Moments later, Coney is lying across a leather couch, as a red blob Muppet in a white lab coat, and large glasses rolls his chair over*

DR. JELLOS: Now, Major JerryNelson, I'm only here to help you.

CONEY: I understand that sir, and I appreciate it.

DR. JELLOS: You were going to tell me about this strange dream you've been having...

CONEY: The dream... the dream... well, it's like this...

*Dissolve to a desert island, where Coney sits on the sand, his uniform is shredded, he has a five o'clock shadow on his face, and his hair is messy*

CONEY: *Narrating* There I am... all alone, on a desert island... with no hope of being rescued... that's when it happened... *Aloud* a bottle! I found a bottle!

*A fancy bottle floats by in the water, so Coney jumps up, and grabs it out of the water*

CONEY: Yes! Yes, I can write a message, stick it in the bottle, send back out to sea, and hope someone will find it, and rescue me! Oh... but wait... I forgot to bring my pad of paper, and my crayons... that means, I can't write my message... phooey!

*Coney tosses the bottle aside, as it hits a nearby palm tree, popping the top off, and emitting a cloud of bright pink dust; after a while, the dust dissipates, and reveals lavendar AM with long blonde hair, and a pink and red Harem outfit*

GENIE: What... what? *Gasps* I'm out of the bottle! I'm out of the bottle!

CONEY: Oh my goodness... you're a... a... a...

GENIE: Oh thank you kind sir, I was trapped inside that bottle for 2,000 years!

CONEY: 2,000 years? Wow, you don't look a day over...

GENIE: ?

CONEY: Never mind...

GENIE: Thank you again, kind sir... NOW I can return to my family... good bye!

CONEY: Wait a minute! Don't disappear just yet!

GENIE: Why not? I REALLY want to get back to my family!

CONEY: Yes, but as I understand, you were a genie in a bottle, and I found you, that means I'm your master, and you owe me three wishes!

GENIE: *Sighs* What is it with you mortal men and your three wishes?

CONEY: Well...

GENIE: Make 'em snappy honey, I really wanna get out of here!

CONEY: Okay, okay... here we go... let's see, I gotta get off of this island... I wish for a boat!

GENIE: You got it, honey...

*The genie folds her arms, and nods, materializing a large coat around Coney*

GENIE: There ya go, that should keep you warm, now if you'll excuse me...

CONEY: No, wait a minute, wait a minute... this isn't what I wished for!

GENIE: It's not?

CONEY: No, I asked you for a BOAT, you gave me a COAT... see, "boat" and "coat" sound the same, because they rhyme, but they're not the same thing, what I want is a BOAT...

GENIE: Oh, simple mistake, I can fix that... now you wanted a...

CONEY: BOAT!

GENIE: Right, here we go...

*The genie folds her arms once again, and nods, materializing a bag that is now in Coney's hand*

GENIE: There we go, that should make you happy, now can I go?

CONEY: NO! Oh no, what is THIS? !

GENIE: It's what you asked for honey, a bag!

CONEY: Wait a minute Jeannie... HOW did you hear "bag" in "BOAT"? "Bag" doesn't sound like "boat", "bag" doesn't rhyme with "boat"!

GENIE: OH, I thought you said TOTE!

CONEY: *Looks at bag* Oh... tote bag...

GENIE: NOW can I go?

CONEY: No Jeannie, listen to me VERY CAREFULLY, PLEASE... what I am asking of you is a BOAT... a BOAT...

GENIE: A boat...

CONEY: Yes, a BOAT... a buh-buh-buh-BOAT!

GENIE: A buh-buh-buh-BOAT.

CONEY: YES! A buh-buh-buh-BOAT to help get me off of this island!

GENIE: OH, I get you now!

CONEY: Are you sure, Jeannie?

GENIE: Sure thing honey! You wish is my command...

*The genie once more folds her arms, and nods, materializing a model of the Titanic in Coney's hands*

GENIE: There you go, you have your boat... *Phew* I forgot how tiring wish granting can be... well, I'm off now!

CONEY: But Jeannie, this is a TOY, I meant a REAL boat for me to get into so I can get off of this island... I wish for a BIGGER boat... a boat that's BIGGER than this one!

GENIE: Sorry honey, can't help you.

CONEY: What? ! Why not?

GENIE: Look honey, I already granted you your three wishes... you got your coat, and you got your tote, and now you got your boat... those are your three wishes, and if I remember correctly, our un-written contract specified I was to grant you three wishes, no more, no less... now then, I gotta go!

CONEY: Jeannie, Jeannie, wait! Please don't leave me here all by myself! Please Jeannie, don't go!

GENIE: Look honey, my name isn't Jeannie, it's Barbara! I'm homeward bound, good luck to ya!

*Before Coney's eyes, his genie disappears, once again, leaving him alone on the island*

CONEY: Barbara? Barbara? Barbara?

*Coney looks at his Titanic model, then plops it into the water*

CONEY: So, who's up for a model boat race? Anybody? How about you, Mr. Crab?

*Dissolve to Dr. Jellos's office*

CONEY: ... And that's how it always ends... me, all alone on the island... with my coat... and my tote... and a toy boat... do you think it means anything, doctor?

DR. JELLOS: Possibly... it sounds as if you've somehow found that confidential memo of mine of transfering you from the Air Force into the Navy.

*Coney whimpers; fade into Alistair Cookie's library*

ALISTAIR COOKIE: And so end "I Dream of Genie", fun little story... boy, me wouldn't mind having me own genie... then me could wish for a million cookies!

*Just then, a cloud of green dust appears beside Cookie's chair, and when it dissipates, it reveals lavendar AM, now wearing long black hair, and a green Harem outfit*

ALISTAIR COOKIE: Eh, you not Barbara!

GENIE #2: Nah, I'm her sister, Eden!

ALISTAIR COOKIE: Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers... now then... please listen carefully...

GENIE #2: Shoot.

ALISTAIR COOKIE: Me wish for a MILLION cookies! Cookies of ALL kinds... a MILLION of them... right here!

GENIE #2: Alright, so you want a million cookies, cookies of all kinds, and a million of them here?

ALISTAIR COOKIE: Yah-yah-yah!

GENIE #2: You got it!

*Cookie's genie proceeds to fold her arms, and nod, to which suddenly, it's raining different kinds of cookies inside the library*

ALISTAIR COOKIE: Oh! It wish come true!

GENIE #2: There you go, those were your three wishes!

ALISTAIR COOKIE: Yah-yah-yah-whuh-whuh-whuh, say wha?

GENIE #2: Yeah, you wished for millions of cookies... cookies of all kinds... and a million of them right here... the other million will be waiting for you at home... gotta go!

*Before Cookie could say anything else, Eden slowly disappears before his eyes, as finds his library quickly filling up with cookies*

ALISTAIR COOKIE: Oh boy, me know how to wish them, don't me? Well, that all the time we have for tonight, so this Alistair Cookie saying... *Cookies rise to below his chin*... HELP ME! SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE...

*The cookies cover Cookie, and pretty soon, the picture is blocked out by an ever-rising pile of cookies*

Yeah.

Well, gotta remember sometimes SST could get repetitive and "update" random skits from yesteryears.

*LOL. That was your best one yet Snowthy. I rully think this one shows your growth as a skit/parody writer. Keep 'em coming!

BTW: Eden? Isn't that Genie's girlfriend from the Aladdin animated series? And yes, I recognize it for what it was, Jeanie and her evil sister, both named in reference to the actress herself.
Again, good job Snowths.

I give it 5 yays.
Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay!
:grouchy: Well I give it 5 phooeys.
Phooey, phooey, phooey, phooey, phooey.

I was also wanting to do a Bewitched spoof as well, but I can't quite seem to flesh out a good enough concept to poke fun at it... IDOJ was easy, as it's been spoofed before, not to mention the idea of a guy finding a genie in a bottle (or magic lamp or whatever) has been played out in different variations before... and how often do you see the concept of a mortal man marrying a witch played out?
