SGA ideas: request

[ileliberte]

Someone suggest a funny(ish?) (preferably gen) scenario for a short SGA story with the main team (+/- Weir, Zelenka, Cadman etc, but focus is team). Doesn't have to be immensely detailed. No, I have not taken up writing fic. Something may or may not come of this. Um, indulge me please? Now, go!

P.S. Thank you!

they walk through the gate and all end up wearing each other's clothes on the other side. And the trade partners are waiting so they can't swap back, they have to spend the day dressed as each other :>

ROFL! Nothing says humor like being dressed funny

OR -- along a similar line -- the oddly dressed new trade partners think Team 1 has the coolest clothing EVER and insists on trading outfits with them as a sign of good will. I have the four of them walking back into the gateroom decked out in either some primitive, revealing, native-type things (and looking extremely disgruntled and threatening anyone to say a word) or some elaborate, foppish, 18th century getups...but they're still armed and wearing their thigh holsters, carrying P-90s. *g*

Ooh, foppish getups! Will think about it, thanks for the suggestion!

Ah, clothes swapping never gets old. Thanks for the suggestion :D

The population of a planet/moon look strangely like Ewoks.

(Likely turnout: anyone from Earth keep having to suppress giggles, Teyla doesn't understand what's so damn funny (the Earth boys are nuts), and Ronon... wonders what they taste like.)

I think largely in images, and ^that is what the image in my head looked like.

Ewoks!! That would be funny. Thanks for the suggestion :D

Atlantis is overrun with some kind of animal, like ugly kittens, or adorable four-footed ducks, and Team Sheppard is tasked with rounding them all up and ferrying them back to where they came from.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Haha, I love this one. It would be hilarious to have Team Sheppard charging in from the gate pellmell followed by really weird animals and then having to be ordered by Weir to round them up even as they get into all sorts of scrapes. Hmm....

[runpunkrun]

Hee! It's all their fault and Weir makes them clean up after themselves. She would too. *g*

A mission where the wacky alien ritual doesn't involve public sex and/or nudity but some sort of goofy quest in the same vein as "bring us a shrubbery."

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Haha, that would be hilarious. Have to think of something now that would be just as funny but not rip off monty python. Man, comedy is HARD. Thank you for the suggestion!

Is this that thing I'm supposed to help with? And think up prompts for?

two suggestions

[pentapus.livejournal.com]

I suggest a reverse of the usual "earth in-joke that confuses the natives!" Instead, Teyla (and maybe Ronon too) is laughing her ass off at the rest of her team for something, and Rodney is getting offended, while Sheppard's stuck explaining to the merchant that, 'Uh... actually we don't want... pie--it's the pie right? Come on--Teyla?"

Because maybe the pie is, I dunno, shaped like the distinctive shit of some animal she grew up hunting.
And you can 1) just have Teyla laughing her ass off as they hold something, and not bother explaining, just give speech bubbles or a caption to hint that McKay and Sheppard are clueless. Or 2) you can have a smaller panel off to the side that's a flashback of younger, or at least in Athosian garb, Teyla looking at the thing that explains it.

Or--! They have to wear facepaint for something, maybe they're being clowns to entertain some kids becxause John's a sucker for kids, and so you've got John painting a stripe down Rodney's cheek--Rodney with his mouth wide open mid-protest--and this intense concentration on John's face, while Teyla is laughing her ass off, possibly while Ronon is holding up a painted finger like he's trying to paint her face. And she's got a bright green nose already.

Or switch it up, so Ronon's trying to paint rodney and looking pretty evilly gleeful.

Team returns from a visit to the mud planet.

Ronan encounters a child's pet that is in heat and in love with his leg.

Morning after an all-nighter poker game with too much beer. Lightweight Rodney falls asleep before his team mates who decorate him.

Food fight. (I love slapstick!)

Ooh, the first and third one are really funny. Thanks for the suggestions!
