Comedy Writers for Sopranos Parody YouTube Channel - A Job Post by Isaac Shapiro

Looking for talented comedy writers to work for the up-and-coming YouTube channel Sopranos AI. We aim to write contemporary skits featuring Tony Soprano discussing modern issues with his therapist, Dr. Melfi. Initially, the focus will be on these two characters, but we plan to expand later.

Here is the channel if you’d like to get familiar with the content:

Sopranos AI YouTube Channel

We are looking to level up the quality of our content with the best Sopranos parodies we can produce. Here are examples of the style of videos we’ll be looking to emulate:

The Undead Humor

We prefer candidates with a comedy background, particularly those with experience in UCB or other comedy organizations in NYC or LA. However, the ability to write a funny script is the most important qualification.

Starting off, we will be paying $2 per completed 3-4 minute script. Once the channel is monetized and consistent revenue streams are established, we can negotiate a higher rate. While this may not seem like much, this is a unique opportunity to be paid for writing quirky Sopranos skits. This is a remote position, so anyone from anywhere is welcome to apply.

Please note that this is not a full-time job and carries some risk since there is no guarantee that the channel will be monetized. However, we need better content to pass the 4000 hours of watch time threshold. We are getting closer but require better writing to enhance engagement and watch time on the channel. This opportunity will thrive or perish based on your raw talent.

If interested, please follow the instructions below:

1. Write a spec script using the following prompt:
   
   Tony Soprano is concerned about how many times AJ keeps renting Space Jam from Blockbuster. The basic idea is to have Tony express discomfort with AJ constantly rewatching Space Jam on VHS, always rewinding the Lola Bunny scenes, while Melfi attempts to normalize this behavior by introducing the concept of furries and explaining various aspects of the subculture using pseudo-psychology.

You may also submit any written or recorded material you’ve created along with your spec script. Send submissions to [e-mail].

If you want ideas, I can share my collection of about 4,500 modern urban legends. Feel free to use them as you wish. I have previously used a small number to create shorts that were 1-3 minutes long.
