Title: Food & Drug Complaint
Characters: Sol Rosenberg, Secretary
Summary:
In this comedic skit, Sol Rosenberg calls the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a bizarre request. Sol, assuming the FDA has control over various aspects of public life, asks the FDA to take Howard Stern’s radio show off the air. The FDA representative patiently explains that the FDA is responsible for regulating food, drugs, cosmetics, and blood, but not radio broadcasts.
The caller persists, describing alleged abusive behavior by Howard Stern, claiming he has been physically harmed during fishing outings with Stern. The FDA representative repeatedly tries to redirect Sol to the appropriate authority, the radio station, emphasizing the FDA’s lack of jurisdiction over radio content.
Sol Rosenberg continues to share bizarre and exaggerated stories of personal conflicts with Stern, the FDA representative remains steadfast in asserting the agency’s inability to address the situation. Sol accuses the representative of being hurtful and unhelpful, expressing frustration at the perceived lack of action.
Despite the absurdity of the request, the skit cleverly satirizes misunderstandings about the roles and responsibilities of government agencies. The juxtaposition of serious government work with the absurd complaint about a radio show creates humor through Sol’s persistent confusion and the FDA representative’s futile attempts to explain their limited scope. The skit culminates in Sol Rosenberg expressing emotional distress, adding a touch of exaggerated drama to the humorous exchange.

Title: Sol’s Nude Beach
Characters: Sol Rosenberg
Summary:
The skit opens with a phone call where a woman answers and a person named Sol asks for Jim. There’s confusion over Sol’s name, but he persistently mentions joining a nudist camp, claiming Jim invited him due to past mistreatment at a New York nudist camp. He expresses a desire to avoid abuse, wanting to walk on the beach peacefully. The woman, revealed to be Jim’s mother, is surprised and concerned, assuring Sol she’ll discuss it with Jim upon his return. Sol continues to detail his past traumatic experiences at the New York camp, emphasizing his hope for a better, safer experience if he joins Jim.
The conversation remains comedic due to the absurdity of Sol’s claims about being abused at the nudist camp and his expectations of a new, more pleasant experience. The punchline comes from the woman revealing she’s Jim’s mother and her shock at the conversation’s direction. Sol’s persistent insistence on his traumatic experiences clashes hilariously with the innocent confusion of Jim’s mother, leading to an unexpected and humorous misunderstanding.
Throughout, the skit plays on the contrast between Sol’s exaggerated stories and the woman’s increasing surprise and disbelief, ending with her promise to address the situation with Jim. The absurdity of Sol’s claims juxtaposed with the unsuspecting nature of the woman creates a comedic tension, culminating in an unexpected twist when she reveals her identity as Jim’s mother.
