Nike Air Stab Trainers

GORDON BROWN
Jacqui, we've got to show the public we're doing something about knife crime.

JACQUI SMITH
Well I've persuaded Nike to withdraw the Air Stab trainer.

GORDON BROWN
Brilliant.

JACQUI SMITH
The Bank of England will no longer be cutting interest rates

GORDON BROWN
Great

JACQUI SMITH
DFS will no longer be slashing their prices.
Warburtons won't be selling sliced bread.
Morrisons have removed all their lamb cutlets.
Warner Brothers are releasing yet another version of Blade Runner.

GORDON BROWN
Fantastic!

JACQUI SMITH
And we'll soon be removing the prick from Number Ten!

Very good.

Sounds like another one for News Revue or Treason.

Not up my street as I find real politicians like Brown, Blair, Bush, etc pretty damn boring as joke fodder!

But it's 'horses for courses' and this is a good sketch!

Yeah, this is well done, but it's not my poison either.

Good although topical isn't my bag.

I like it, but then it is a little similar tomy vintage.

Especially the topical rudery punch line.

damn the net cafe computer I was using had a broken space bar.

If it's a real shoe, send a link when you send it to Treason, they'll flash an image up on the screen.

Great satire - until:

JACQUI SMITH
And we'll soon be removing the prick from Number Ten

- basically an insult. Your hatred shows through.

How about...?

JACQUI SMITH
And your secretary's booked your one-way flight to Zimbabwe.

How does that continue the ‘Stab' ‘Cut' ‘Slashed' ‘Sliced' ‘Blade' wordplay? ‘Prick' does.

haha- brilliant. maybe the Air Stab trainer line is a bit too forced compared to the rest of the sketch, but I likes it.

as above - the air stab doesnt work, no ones heard of it!

Blimey! There actually is a Nike Air Stab! I'm amazed, I thought you made it up!

No Nike have been slammed in the media and have agreed to remove the 'Air Stab' from market. They are however still making Nike Penknife Trainers, seriously.

I don't normally go for topical gags but it's certainly well done.

They're cutting edge, to the point, a great way of getting stuck into an audience, and of course snide (a Yiddish word for scissors).

Just heard this is being used in the August Treason Show.

Hooray we are the champions, we are the champions

of two long running, topical stage shows.
