The Cringy Covid Skit My Cousin And I Did
This is a random memory, one that is cringy, hilarious, and overall plain embarrassing. But, I'm narrating it!

I thought I should narrate it since I have mentioned it before. I did this skit with my cousin back when Covid first appeared.

So, my cousin and I wanted to shoot a small comedy skit about Covid. All good? Yes. I decided to create a script, and we acted it, and we found it pretty enjoyable!
It's only an year later, that I'm laughing at my stupidity.

The skit went something like this...

My cousin, I'll call him Rocky because he's obsessed with the movie KGF...
So, Rocky was just a normal guy at the start of 2020, watching the news. He suddenly hears a speech from the Prime Minister, that a lockdown was going to start due to Covid.
All good? Yes.
I remember that Rocky also joked about the Prime Minister talking too slow.
"Bhaiyon aur behno me time waste mat karo aur bolo kya hua!"
("Don't waste time with 'brothers and sisters' and tell us what's wrong!" If you got the joke, you got it. If not, okay.)

Then, Rocky checked the news and saw that Covid was spreading in his town.
And, he did what any sensible person would do. No, he didn't sanitize, he didn't stay in his home.

He decided to "run away" from Covid.
Ya.
This is terrible.

Then, he goes on a train to go to another city. The train is mostly empty, except for one woman sitting there. (That woman was me.) And the woman suddenly let out a cough.
So, Rocky did what any sensible person would do. No, he didn't wear a mask, and neither did he ask the woman to wear one.

He jumped out of the train.
And miraculously survived.

(I think Rocky was the luckiest guy on the planet at this rate.)

Then, he noticed he had come to his friend's town. And that his friend had called him to a party at his place. So, he climbs onto a bus, and sees that the bus driver (also me) was sniffling into her sleeve.

He did what any sensible person would do. No, he didn't ask the driver to keep proper sanitary protocols, and he didn't ask her to stay 6 feet away from him.

My guy Rocky jumped out of the bus as well.
And somehow landed in front of his friend's house.

(Is this Kismat {A character from my series, he's very lucky} in disguise or what? Rocky should be dead by now!)

Then, Rocky went to his friend's house, and his friend mentioned that he was feeling a bit suffocated, maybe because of the pollution. (The friend was also me. Multitasking ka dhindhora peet rahi thi)

So, knowing that his friend was feeling a bit suffocated, Rocky decided to do what any sensible person would do to run away from Covid.

No, he didn't listen to the government, and he didn't just stay safe with Netflix and chill.

He went to another state.
And got an apartment for free out of a lucky draw. And also got a maid.

(Ya, that's Kismat level luck right there. How is he not infected with Covid?! During this whole skit, he didn't wear a mask, not once! How did he get a free apartment from a lucky draw?! My guy Kismat is Rocky confirmed!)

As it turns out, the maid (which was me) was extremely stupid. She didn't care about Covid because it's "just a cold" and she said she had roamed around in many cities since the past few days.

Rocky did what any sensible person would do.

Go to Japan.

(Rocky is insanely rich, apparently.)

Then, he meets a tour guide in Tokyo. (The tour guide was also me.) And, I was talking in half baked Japanese... Which was embarrassing.
Then, suddenly the news came that Japan had it's first case of Covid.

Rocky did what any sensible person would do in order to run from the virus.

He...
Wait for it... This is going to get ridiculous...

He called NASA and booked a rocket trip to Mars.

(Yes.
The skit went exactly as I just said.)

And guess what... Rocky paid NASA 100 billion dollars (God knows how) and he went to Mars.
(Being the scriptwriter, I'm pretty sure I was drunk or something when I wrote this. Kyonki ye mere charan seema ke paar hai.)

And on Mars, he saw two aliens. (One of the aliens was my 5 year old cousin sister, the other was me.)
And the aliens were talking in gibberish. My cousin sister and I were just spouting random nonsense at each other.
And then one of the aliens (me) noticed Rocky, and told him that thanks to a human, Mars has Covid too.

Then... Rocky...
Proceeds to die.

Yes.
He died.
Metaphorically, he only said dramatically, "I'm dead now!" And lied down tired. He was just unconscious.

Then, the two aliens lectured all the humans how they shouldn't be like Rocky, and how they should always follow the proper safety protocols.

The End.

(My Cousin and I are like Jesse and James from Pokemon...
The skit was hilarious. My parents were just laughing and cringing at us. They said they'd show this video when we graduate, so that they can blackmail us with embarrassment for life...
So, what do you think of the skit? What was your favourite part? And you cringed atleast once, I know.)
