I need suggestions for a comedic scene to perform

[Brick]

I'm looking to do a comedic scene from a movie or television show for a submission, and I could use some suggestions because I suck at trying to find stuff for myself. It doesn't have to be long (1.5-2 minutes), and shouldn't be too physical since I'd be filming just myself from waist up (other characters in the scene would be read off camera by a reader), so dialogue driven is preferred.

 

Also need to make sure that it's a role that I could actually play and be cast as, so 27-33 years old, white male, and trying to avoid any genre scenes (i.e. fantasy, sci-fi, etc.), and nothing super iconic that everyone knows (you know the kinds of scenes that go down in history as being famous, like the "You can't handle the truth!" from A Few Good Men, or "I'm as mad as Hell" from Network).

 

Any (serious) suggestions would be greatly appreciated, guys and gals.

Hmm not bad. A bit out of my age range, but I suppose that's just the actor, so it might not matter. A bit too long, so I'd have to edit it down, but that's a good, deadpan, not overly goofy scene. I'll keep this one in mind.

This is actually pretty good, although for film and TV auditions/demos they usually want you to stay away from monologues since they can be too wordy, and therefore want a dialogue scene between two or more people, but this one I'll keep for whenever I do need a good monologue.

Well I thought it was just going to be you acting it out, alone, so I chose a clip with a strong singular performance.

It will be me alone, but whatever other part there is I'll have a reader off camera reading the other person's lines.

Info that should have been in the OP but now it opens up other possibilities, so I'll keep it in mind if I see other clips.

Ah sorry I thought that was clear, I guess not. I'll edit my OP to be more clear for anyone else that comes in to read this.

I was waiting for someone to post this scene lol. Unfortunately that would fall into an "iconic" scene that I should avoid since everyone knows this scene, and became meme-able.

 

Also yes I kind of forget about this thread until now.

I was driving some place the other day and realized there's a lot of things to do while you're waiting. There's nothing to do while you're driving.

You should do that scene from American Psycho where he flexes in the mirror while banging the hookers. I'd cast your ass on the spot if I saw that.
