Total-coo

DAILY MAIL EDITOR TALKING TO A JOURNALIST

EDITOR

We in the Daily Mail have decided to stop using the phrase Middle England, as it has come to mean, small minded, racist, sexually inadequate bigots. Which are readers are not.

JOURNALIST

So what are we going to call, our not reactionary, not total scumbag readers.

EDITOR

We'll call them MidBritain, by losing the last few letters, it's much nicer.

JOURNALIST

Any other changes chief.

EDITOR

Yes David Cameron is now to be called a, Total-coo.

JOURNALIST?

EDITOR

We just lost the nt. Nicer isn't. Just like it would be if the Na's one the Second World War.

Journalist

Na's? Oh Nazis.

Too much anger in these sketches - its all very well to approach the comedy with an opinion but to flag it up so early and so aggressively just taints the whole sketch in my opinion.

we all know what the daily mail stereotype is...to add in "sexually inadequate" from nowhere just feels like a rant rather than a sketch.

Also thought the last line was like an impressionist who says who he's doing...shouldnt need explaining.

End it at ...at toal coo...

The joke works well enough and does't need spelling out, literally or otherwise.

In theory agree. Although, I'm not sure I'd know what a "coont" was, so might not get it without the further explanation.

I agree. I wouldn't get it with just the "total coo" reference, could be because the word "c**t" isn't prenounced with an O, how about "total cun" and just drop the T? Also it does seem more rant like than sketch like.

Is David Cameron a c**t?

I think so, I guess I assumed cu, was pronounced coo

I think so,

Its a rather specific point of view though that you are hoping has (at least a little) wide appeal.....and i doubt it does.

Outside of the home counties, the opion that cameron is a c**t very much rings true.

I called him a c**t in the Treason show, and it received laughter, and applause. Perhaps I should be more specific?

A slimy, two faced, Blair wanna be, sexually ambiguous, creepy, probably want to rape your cat, face of how every thing's going to get worse, c**t?

C**t just seemed to be much neater.

Brown stinks, but is overall more wholesome. Hence he's an arsehole.

n.b. in my last stand up, I called Cameron a c**t and the audience cheered.

There may actually be a large enough audience of people who agree with me, to make an entire TV show? Maybe a new BBC channel, BBC 8, the Cameron is a c**t channel.

There are people who don't think Cameron is a c**t. How ever they are usually to busy sneaking into orphans to pinch babies, tripping blind people, and masturbating in their own waste to watch Satirical TV.

This is not an overstatement.

Brrrap! Brrrrrrrappp! Brrapppppppppppp! Go Sooty!

I don't know. Calling someone a 'c**t' isn't very inventive. Even when aimed at a politician.

No but it's the punchline at the end of a brilliantly inventive, and fiendishly accurate skit. In this case referencing the laughable way the throughly evil Daily Mail's has tried to rebrand Middle England.

The word c**t as a punchline in this case is the familiar pudding of crumble and custard, at the end of a modern artisan dinner of a skit.

n.b. what is Braap, is it good?

Yeah, Brrrrap is a hip hop /grime thing, rio Ferdinand does it - it's a sign of a good beat/line. I was being (semi)ironic in my usage.

I think when the word c**t IS the punchline its lazy...it may get laughs, but i wouldnt be too proud of it.
