Gladys changes broadband provider

INTERNAL LIVING ROOM, GLADYS IS 75 YEARS OLD SHE IS ON THE PHONE CHANGING HER BROADBAND PROVIDER, TO A CHEAPER ONE.

Salesman: We have a number of broadband packages to suit everyone's need

Gladys: Well I don't use it a lot but it is always handy to have it, so I don't need a fancy package, just the basic one.

Salesman: Our Lite package would suit you and you also get free evening and weekend calls.

Gladys: How fast will it be? Because at the moment my broadband is terribly slow.

Salesman: It will be up to 16 Megabits, which by the sounds of it will be perfect for you.

Gladys: That's great, sign me up

Salesman: Would you like to opt out of receiving adult content?

Gladys: What is that?

Salesman: Under a new government initiative, by default we are obliged to filter out any adult orientated content, such as pornography. If you would like to view material of that nature you need to agree to receive it.

Gladys: Oh God yes, I like a bit of porn, wouldn't know what I would do without my XHamster.

That's really nicely paced, good dialogue but a rotten punch line.

Carlos I'm setting you a challenge.

Write your next skit with no sexual references at all.

Thanks Sooty, I wrote a few of these different scenarios, all based around the new law coming in for adult content, and I was thinking of one I could film easily, I couldn't get a postman but there is an old woman down the road, who said she wouldn't mind being in one of my crazy videos as she called them.

I think my dialogue is getting better sometimes so yes I will work on one with no sexual innuendos next, and a try for a better punchline.

Thanks

Gladys: Yes please,

Salesman; you want porn?

Gladys; it's always nice to show the grand kids what nannas been upto on granny bangers 37

I dunno if it works it's a more extreme twist

I did have something like that in mind for the ending funny enough.

It did start off with a husband sitting in the house on the sofa with his old mother in law, and the wife was on the phone ordering broadband, and then she shouts over to the husband if he want's to sign up for porn.

Now that last one's good.

Thanks, maybe I will go with that rather than my first, easy to film as well.
