No, I think sketches do require some suspension of disbelief anyway.
Sorry, not the most helpful comments I know.

Possibly:

Mr.Praline: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.

Owner: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!

Mr.Praline: STUNNED?!?

Prefer Davids edit. It leaves the reveal to the end. It was also less clumsy in the way it did it. This line doesn't really work for me.

Make sure you eat the 14 packets in the cupboard under the sink first.

It just makes them sound like a bunch of weirdos who horde food under the sink. It also doesn't read that well. It's clunky.

Agree with Wayne. I also thought that "eat the 14 packets in the cupboard under the sink first." could mean that he should get the 14 packets out of the cupboard, then go under the sink and eat them.

Hi Wayne. Imagine you buy 14 packets of breakfast cereals just to get the free A level certificates. There isn't enough room in the food cupboard, so you have to put them under the sink, where there's room.

Morrace, do you often eat your cereals in the cupboard under the sink?

No, but if I were ‘EMILY' and my dad said:

"Make sure you eat the 14 packets in the cupboard under the sink first."

- I would report him to the NSPCC.

The cereals under the sink are a little Fritzellesque.......

Well surely if they had already bought 14 certificates why would she need more? Also, if every time Emily opened the cereal box and got an unsatisfactory certificate, then wouldn't this mean that Emily wouldn't really be that excited when she opened this one? She would just be feeling dejected and pissed off.

Well, you know what it's like with free gifts in cereal packets. The manufacturers hold some back, so you can't easily collect the set, although you can swap them with your friends. But hope springs eternal! :)
