Pass the Pepper

| Category: | Repetition |
| Props: | Toilet paper, pepper shakers (optional) |
| Notes: | This is a repetitive word-play skit. Each Scout repeats the phrase down the line with slight variations. The humor builds with the types of peppers. The final reveal about toilet pepper gets the laugh! |
[Ma:] Pass the peppa, Pa.
(This message is repeated by each Scout in a line up to the last Scout, Pa, who responds:)
[Pa:] Here's the Black Peppa, Ma.
(Goes down the line to Ma, who responds:)
[Ma:] No, not the Black Peppa, Pa.
(Goes down the line to Pa, who responds:)
[Pa:] Oh. Here's the Chili Peppa, Ma.
(This goes on through different kinds of Peppa, i.e., Banana Peppa, Jalepeno Peppa, Red Peppa, Green Peppa, and so on until...)
[Ma:] Can't you pass the toilet peppa, Pa?
(Freeze. Blackout.)
