Int. Pub
A barman is behind the bar. A man enters.
Man: Pint of bitter please.
The barman gives the pump a slight pull and serves the man a shot glass of beer.
Man: I said a pint.
Barman: Oh, a pint.
The barman looks around the bar and picks something up. He starts pulling the pump.
Barman: Sorry about that!
The barman serves the man a wine glass of beer.
Man: That's not a pint!
Barman: Oh… uh… hmmm…
The barman turns round and picks up a shot glass. He holds it up for the man.
Barman: Is this…
Man: No! I want one of these!
The man points at a pint glass on the bar.
Barman: Right!
The barman picks up the pint glass and starts pouring a pint into it.
Man: Not that one! I want a clean one!
Barman: Oh...
The barman looks around. He picks up another pint glass off the bar which has lipstick marks on the rim.
Man: A CLEAN one!
The barman looks around the bar in bemusement. The man points down at the back of the bar.
Man: One of those ones!
The barman goes down and comes up with a crisp packet. He opens it and starts pouring a pint into it.
Man: Not that! One of them!
The man points again. The barman goes down and comes up with a clean pint glass.
Man: At last!
The barman starts pulling a pint. The pump splutters and nothing comes out.
ENDS
Or should I end it with the barman pulling a pint and then dropping the glass?
Pint of Beer Sketch
I preferred the original ending although the barman could pull the pint and milk could come out instead of beer as an alternative ending.
Hmm like the original punch line.
But my choice would be,
Man
What kind of a pub is this?
Barman
It isn't it's a
funeral parlour(pull back to reveal it is infact embalming fluid he is pulling
church (pull back to reveal barman is actually taking service from pulpit)
deathrow (pull back to reveal beer pump is actually hang mans lever)
I like the idea of him dropping it, since it affirms the incompetence of the barman.

But to be effective there has to be a REASON for his incompetence.
Logically, he should give the pint to the customer, who should do anything other than actually drink it, like pour it into his shoe or some other f**ked up thing.
