Stop Sign
14 January 2025
In 1957, a stop sign made from a high-strength alloy was accidentally launched into space during a test nuclear explosion. Now the stop sign has orbited the sun and is on its way back toward Earth. Scientists calculate it will hit the White House, so evasive action is taken, with disastrous (and hilarious) results.

Sunscreen
A dermatologist embeds with a nudist colony to research a new kind of sunscreen that is natural and more effective than existing creams. She befriends a handsome naturist, but loses his trust when the company she works for burns her—just like he said they would.
Flag
On the first manned mission to Mars, when the astronauts reach the mission area they discover a flag has already been planted and all of their supplies have been used up. With all their food and water gone, they head back to the ship to return to Earth… But it’s also gone. They soon realize they’re jumping around in time, and a faulty time machine from the future is to blame. The crew must stick together to avoid getting separated in time while they try to figure out how to get home.
Can Opener
If you like the National Lampoon films, then you’ll love our farcical take on a story about a kleptomaniacal can opener repairman who becomes a reluctant detective investigating an apparent murder involving—you guessed it—a can opener. The situation quickly (and hilariously) escalates, and soon the police, the mob, and even the mayor are pursuing him all over town. With no dead body, no apparent suspect, and no clear leads, the can opener repairman really has his work cut out for him in this raucous romp.
Birdhouse
When a prince crosses a witch, she curses him to spend eternity as a bird. 300 years later, the witch’s descendent accidentally releases him from his spell. Can they set aside their differences and work together to restore him to the throne, oust the corrupt regent, and return their country to its former glory?
Cheeseburger
Improviser Adal Rifai joins the Almost Plausible crew in this hilarious story about a pair of food truck owners who face off during a cooking battle with a hefty cash prize. Despite their initial headbutting, the chefs soon discover they have more in common than just their cuisine, leading to a romantic entanglement.
Axe
In the early twentieth century, a group of lumberjacks head into a remote part of the woods to work. The plan is to spend two weeks felling trees and finishing a log flume, but a series of attacks from a forest monster forces them to change their plans. Their camp’s remote location makes escaping from the woods nearly impossible, but fighting the monster has deadly consequences. The men must use their brains and their brawn if they’re going to make it out alive.
Bag of Chips
Author and screenwriter Geoffrey D. Calhoun joins the crew to write a story about a bag of chips. Specifically, a bag of potato chips, although it seems no one told Shep that, because his pitch is about a hacker who steals a bag of computer chips. Never wanting to back down from a challenge, the group finds a way to make it work, and together they create a story about a heist to steal potato-based computer chips.
Egg
A woman in her twenties is surprised when she suddenly lays a large egg. As if that wasn’t strange enough, the egg hatches to reveal a tiny human… With wings. The woman raises her daughter under a watchful eye, careful to make sure the secret of her child’s wings is never revealed. But what happens when her rebellious teenage daughter yearns to fly?
Shipping Pallet
A group of kids on summer break hit the jackpot when they discover a huge pile of shipping pallets, which they use to build forts in the woods. A water balloon war breaks out, and soon bases are being captured and absorbed, until just two large forts remain. What follows for the children is a tense weekend full of escalating weapons, imaginations, and the greatest water balloon battle of their lives.
Shamrock
The solo female traveler from America visiting Ireland and falling in love with a handsome Irishman is a pretty standard rom-com trope at this point, so we decided to shake things up a bit. In our story, an Irishman living abroad in the United States comes home and falls in love with an American woman living in Ireland. It’s a story about family, tacos, and the Shamrock Inn.
