Antique Roadshow The Over The Hill Birthday Edition 

Antique Roadshow Birthday Skit for the 50th Birthday


A couple of years ago, my sister and I did a skit for my best friend's 50th birthday.   He had no idea that he had entered the Antique Roadshow Zone.  He had a blast, and participated as the skit went along, adding funny comments on the way.  This is a great idea to take and personalize for any old timer’s birthday.

FYI: quicker than Jack Robinson is an actual old time saying meaning of course-fast!

After 50
Everything That Doesn't Hurt
Doesn't Work


Caution, Middle Age Meltdown


I Used To Be A Man Of Vision,
Before The Meds Cleared it Up!


I Get Enough Exercise
Just Pushing My Luck



It's your 50th B-day Party
You Can Cry If You Want To








Antique Roadshow Over The Hill Birthday Skit

Paula bringing in the Birthday boy….

Appraiser:  Be careful.  It looks frail.  You might chip it or break it’s hip.  Hi, I’m Lorraine Madison, a new addition to the Antique Roadshow, specializing in antique oddities.  And this is Paula from Terre Haute, Indiana.  Do you know what you have brought in today, Paula?

Paula:  I have no clue, but if you specialize in antique oddities, I'm sure I'm in the right place!

 Appraiser:  Very true.  How exactly did you come in possession of this oddity?

Paula:  It seems like around 20 years ago, my sister asked if I could give it a ride home, and it’s been collecting dust ever since.

Appraiser:  Do you have any idea how old it is?

Paula:  No, but my guess would be 100 or 200 years old????

Appraiser:  Well, with all the moaning and groaning it made when it was moving up here, I can see how you would think that.  But you can actually count it’s age by the large wrinkles under the eyes, just like you would a tree with it’s rings.  (Counting Wrinkles) 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years old!  Just as I suspected.

Appraiser:  What you have here is a Jack Robinson.  It got it’s name from the quickness it came and went in the stores.  Let’s put it this way, the Edsel, the Pet Rock, and plastic cat poop had more appeal to the American public.  It was pulled faster from the shelves by the manufacture quicker than you can say Jack Robinson.  There was always a rumor that one actually sold.

Paula:  So it’s a rarity, that must make it valuable?

Appraiser:  Well it does have quite a lot of condition problems.  Believe it or not, at one time it did  have a full head of red hair!

Paula: (looking stunned) Noooooooo!

Appraiser:  Yes, (brings out a magnifying glass, examines top of bald head, to show a remaining red hair or two)  If you look carefully… no I guess I was mistaken.  (Picks dirt off head, that appraiser had thought was a red hair.)   And it looks like it could use a professional cleaning. Blowing (imaginary) dust off of scalp. Oh my.

Paula:  What do you suggest as an insurance value?

Appraiser:  Do you really think you could get anyone to insure a 50 year old Jack Robinson?  And if you could, imagine how high the insurance premiums would be?

Paula:  How true!  Is there any auction value?

Appraiser:  Well he is a pretty good guitarist.  You probably will have to massage the pre-arthritic claw first and maybe get some new strings for the guitar, but it all should work.  And if you step back and squint (both appraiser and Paula stepping back and squinting).  Maybe a little further back. (both stepping back again).  Try covering one eye and squint harder with the other (both doing).  There, he still is quite handsome!  (With one hand over one eye, standing back far, and squinting with the other eye, both Paula and appraiser nod their head in agreement).  (Then going back over to the Jack Robinson).

Appraiser: Taking it all in consideration, I  would have to put an auction value of priceless.
