This is fun, Pat Alexander. Here’s what I came up with.
Alonzo Rossi — The main protagonist. He's a friendly, noble family man who's from a long line of successful Italian chefs. He failed at running a restaurant, and now he owns a failing food truck, and it's all because he doesn't believe in himself and his cooking skills.
Marty — A small dog that's really a reckless Martian. It’s super hyper, fun, and funny. It’s secretive about why it came to Earth.
Agent 1005 aka Some Guy Named Jack bka Some Guy — A stern, no nonsense MIB agent who works at Area 51. He can't take a joke, and he doesn't know how to have fun. He got suspended from Area 51 for beating up an alien. He's living in his hometown, NYC, while on suspension. No one outside of the MIB knows his real name.
Logline: After a Martian disguised as a dog crash-lands in New York City, an unconfident food truck owner and a suspended MIB agent race across the country to deactivate the alien’s collar at Area 51 before it explodes and destroys the planet.

The way home takes one surprising turn after the other and Dr. Love explains how lucky Davidson is to have him there to explain. For instance what the dog is trying to say.

I guess the price should go to the person with the most votes that actually has a 'comedy screenplay written'. That certainly isn't me! So my appologies for entering this contest, but I could not help myself, it is just to much fun! So, kudos to you Pat, to get our creative minds going!!

BOY, WILL I! Forever AGT contestant Chef Boyhowdy and his dancing dog Smutty create a Viagra-laden Hot Sauce called "Boy, Will I!" and to get it to a Chili Fest in Santa Monica, they must convince a Born Again aged Hippie named PJesus with a silent P to drive them down Route 66 from Chicago to LA selling "Boy, Will I" burritos from PJesus's "Candyvan", his former drug operation vehicle. Hi-Jinx ensue when the long forgotten and dead RT 66 SPRINGS back to life. Starring Jack Black and Billy Bob Thornton and a glitchy CGI dog.

Pat Alexander I don't have an uproarious comedy written in script form as my finished ones are closer to romantic comedy but I surely have 2 script ideas that are actually too funny to even write. One involves Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray as two aged Cult leaders who have competing organizations across the street from each other who con every cent they can out of their flocks as they compete to raise money to buy an Aquarium that comes with its own small island on the edge of town. Think sequel to Kingpin. The other is a spoof of "The Car" with Josh Brolin as a Sheriff in Maine trying to stop a demon-possessed white Scooter from terrorizing the seacoast 4th of July activities. This film breaks the 4th wall so much the audience never gets to stop laughing for a second. Think Team America level of hilarity. That one is called "Das Scooten" because once the Sheriff learns a Scooter is terrorizing his town, an old German shaman walks into scene to babble "Das Scooten!" before Grips have to grab him to pull him off camera.

Okay, I came up with a story summary, but I need to come up with characters. As I wrote above, this is a gang of alien thieves.
A gang leader named Nohoy. He doesn't like people, so he transformed into a dog. However, during the trip, he became friends with one family and decided to stay with them.
A safe-cracker named Bur. He transformed into a van so that no one would figure him out and suspect that he was an alien thief. But on the way, he realized that most of all he likes to travel and decides to stay on Earth to visit all the interesting places.
The pilot of an alien spaceship named Uchkuch. He transformed into a cook because he loves cooking. On the way to the goal, he falls in love and decides to stay on Earth and start a family.
A hacker named Penggo transformed into an old man to appear experienced and wise. During the trip, he helps other people a lot and decides to open a cybersecurity firm.

Daniel Goudreau straight up I would WATCH that movie. PJesus and the P is silent is a top tier bit. Also both of those movie ideas are amazing! I've been saying we need a Kingpin sequel for a while now! Looks like the Farrelly brothers might have one going, but a spirit sequel could work as well. Harrelson and Murray are too good of a team not to get the band back together one last time!

Pat Alexander and the glitchy CGI Dancing Dog that Jack Black hopes will win AGT could be great too especially if the glitchy CGI is so bad that every time we see the dog he looks different. PJesus is the only onscreen character to notice the Beagle looks more Collie now. He's always telling Jack something is seriously wrong with the dog. The audience sees it too but Jack doesn't. Hilarious bit. I'm not sure if I've ever seen CGI do 4th wall humor making fun of itself but the audience would be sooo ready for it. Reminds me of Airplane when outside the car window was a rollercoaster or a giant Monster Movie creature. hahaha.

Pat Alexander a little more on PJesus: He's a Born Again Atheist. He was Atheist growing up but then met a Piano Tuner that pulled him into a Christian Cult where tgey changed his name to Rahab. That's all over now. He more recently had a vision while sniffing glue in a prison workhouse and he's now a Born Again Atheist. People always tell him, and this includes Chef Boyhowdy, that it's disappointing because he looks like Jesus. "Yeah, I get that a lot." A woman and Kid suddenly want the kid to take a picture with Jesus. He charges them a buck and during the camera shot, he makes a Heavy Metal face with Dio's devil hands and sticks his toungue out. During our story, every morning at sunrise, the Chef is annoyed sleeping in the van because PJesus always has to do his naked Yoga on the van roof while playing Wagner to welcome the sun.

If I had been told in advance, I would had thought more about what to suggest. Because I have a finished script which can be sent to a comedy script contest. No, normally I don't participate in contest.
OK, first names
dog : Wet (since this is a dog, you guess what the name points to)
chef : Runner (run away from this chef)
in the chair : Professor (not as smart as he thinks)
minibus : Cicciolina (is this Italian celebrity known in USA?)
Runner has served food to a big criminal. The big criminal became angry because the food was so bad.
Together with his cousin, the scammer Professor, they are going on a trip.
The trip is to a forest, to find cure for the mafia.
But Wet loves the trees so much that he is lost.
And when lost, he finds the herb to heal the mafiosi
