The Practical Joke (TV commercial concept)

Outside; Grandma seen leashing dog

Cut to inside looking into kitchen from dinning room.

Kids crouched behind couch giggling, one calls the dog from outside but dog is tethered on leash and cannot run inside; scotch tape tacked ankle height across kitchen entryway with bone in the foreground as bait.

Grandma walks into kitchen from outside and takes cookies out of oven; sits two plates stacked with cookies next to COOKIE MIX on counter.

“Kids, Grandma made her cookies for you!” Begins to carry one plate of cookies out of kitchen to dinning room

Kids look at each other, panic and run to remove scotch tape.

Cut to outside, dog is pulling leash from anchor.

Return inside

Kids arrive too late…Grandma is tripping over tape; kids gasp as they watch. Thud sound, a pause and then kids begin to cheer.

One kid shown standing up with full plate of cookies and raises them over his head.

Switch to dinning room.

Kids sitting at table and empty plate in front of them with milk glasses half full.

Mom walking in from garage, sees remaining plate of cookies on counter next to COOKIE MIX.

Cut back to outside, dog is nearly free from leash.

Mom to kids, “I see Grandma made her cookies!” (Picks up remaining plate of cookies and walks toward dinning room.)

Before kids can warn her, Mom trips over Grandma (still laying on floor).

Gasps come from dinning room, and then cheering as dog can be seen clutching full plate of cookies with big smile on face.
