Making these work in comedy & skits

Write the punchline first, then film the shortest setup that earns it. Working backward keeps skits tight and stops you from padding the opening.
Make characters oddly specific. 'A coworker' is dead on arrival; the coworker who says 'per my last email' out loud makes people tag their friends.
Commit completely to the bit — deadpan delivery, real wardrobe details, no breaking. Half-committed skits read as awkward instead of funny.
End one beat after the biggest laugh, and leave a thread for a part two. Recurring characters turn casual viewers into people who check back.
