What you will get

A short office comedy sketch with an employee sneaking away, a colleague calling out your phrase, a printer jam, a boss at the wrong moment, exaggerated faces, quick cuts and comic sounds.

Common mistake

The jokes do not land because the timing is vague.

Fix: Write it in beats, such as “setup: sneaks out, beat: the call, punchline: the boss appears”, and keep each beat to one action.

Also watch for

Characters change between shots. Describe each of the three people once, with clothes and hair, and repeat the same words in every shot.
The spoken phrase is garbled. Keep the phrase to a few simple words, or leave out speech and use a caption added in your editor.

Try a variation: make a silent version

Ask for “the same sketch with no speech, only physical comedy and sounds”. It avoids speech errors and can be captioned in any language.

Still not right? Add this and run it again

Keep the three characters. Cut it to three shots, one for each beat, and make the boss’s entrance the last moment.
