Customer support skits: ten chat templates
Support chats make good sketches because one side is polite by job and the other side is confused by choice. Each template uses an invented company so nothing can be mistaken for a real brand, and the agent never loses patience, which is where the comedy sits.
They also work as UX mock-ups: a support flow with a believable first message, a clarifying question and a resolution. Keep the label "mock-up" or "fiction" on anything you publish.

What is in this gallery
This gallery holds ten templates, each a ready chat between invented adults that opens in the ChatsRat editor. They use these looks: iMessage, WhatsApp, Discord, Instagram DM and X (Twitter) DM. Running times are 24 to 34 seconds, so every template fits a short vertical video.
A taste of what is inside: The toaster subscription ("Hello, my toaster is asking me to log in."), The missing parcel ("My parcel says 'delivered' but there is no parcel."), The forgotten password ("I forgot my password."), The wrong-size shoe ("I ordered size 40 and received a size 40 left..."), The ghost in the app ("My to-do app has a task I did not write."), and five more. Every template uses a look that is open to the Free plan, which loads the first four messages and two people.
How to use a template
Make the agent calm and exact and the customer vague and confident. The gap between them is the scene. Let the agent repeat the customer's words back once. It is a real support habit and an easy laugh. Resolve the problem in the last line in a way that makes it worse, or stranger.
Before you publish
Use an invented company and invented staff. Never imitate a real brand's support team. If you use it as a mock-up for a deck, label it clearly as a mock-up.
Tips for this gallery
- Start with a small, concrete problem. Tiny problems told seriously are funnier than big ones.
- Use a ticket number or a code once, early, and bring it back at the end.
- End on a polite sign-off that hides what just happened.
- Keep it kind. The customer can be silly; nobody should be cruel.
- A desktop or Slack-style look says "work" at once; a phone look says "help is near".
Questions
Do I need a paid plan for the customer support skits templates?
No. All ten templates use looks open to the Free plan. Free accounts load the first four messages and two people of each template, and paid plans load the whole chat.
Can I change the words and the names?
Yes. Every template opens in the editor with all its lines editable. Replace any line or name, pick another look if your plan allows it, and export your own version with the watermark rules of your plan.
Are these real conversations?
No. Every chat is invented fiction, and the people in it are made up (the historical gallery uses long-dead figures only, for comedy). ChatsRat is not affiliated with any messaging app. Label what you publish as a fictional chat.
Fiction only. Every chat here is invented. Do not use a simulated chat to deceive anyone or to pass it off as a real conversation. See the Acceptable Use policy. ChatsRat is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any messaging app; look names describe a style only.
