Thought for a sketch, to be performed near the end of a show:

A guy walks on, looking/acting like a DJ. He walks over to a set of decks at the side of the stage, pulls out some records, inspects a couple, puts one on. Another actor walks on and starts performing part of one of the previous sketches. The DJ shakes his head and takes the record off. The second actor exits quickly. The DJ selects another record and puts it on. I'm sure you see where this is going... actors come on and start performing another sketch. The DJ's digging this, and starts headbanging slightly to a beat only he can hear. He starts scratching the records, with a predictable effect on the actors ("You can't get a colon ZZZRP can't get a colon ZZZRP can't get a WAKAWAKA colon pregnant, darling"). Then the DJ takes out another record, and starts mixing... the dialogue from the two (three? more?) previous sketches is layered together, Arcadia/Play on Words-style, revealing new and unexpected hidden comedic meanings. Or possibly just makes no sense, but in a comedic manner.

[Theatre 2.0?]

Of course, the fun really starts when he takes out the record labelled "DJ sketch"...

s/walks/moonwalks/

Maybe not at first, but there should definitely be some moonwalking in there :-)
[And when he's playing the DJ sketch, the other DJ should have to moonwalk backwards :-) ]
