CLOSE UP OF A NEWSPAPER. HEADLINE READS "SUPER SKUNK FLOODS LONDON."
GRADUALLY CAMERA ZOOMS OUT, REVEALING A FLOODED LONDON.
FLY-PAST OF A SKUNK IN A CLOAK. A VAPOUR CLOUD TRAILS BEHIND, FILLS THE SCREEN.
Very bad word play
Clever play on words!
Not sure that every one will get it though - especially if they're stoned. Hang on a minute, if they ARE stoned, they WILL get it.
Hey - is this good shit or what?! 
Are you sure YOU'RE not stoned? I just get silly when I'm tired, remembered I'd written it down as a funny headline a while back.
Originally, the skunk had a spliff in his mouth though. Improvement?

Yes, that would be an improvement. Oh, and it's NOT 'silly' - it's funny.
Another way could be a shot of skunk flooding London with a hose.
Ah, yes - THEN a shot of back of skunk. On his cloak is written "Thing Go Better With Cloak".
Or EVEN a very skinny skunk wearing a .... Diet Cloak.
Yep - good stuff. Off to bed. 
Good idea, but could do with being more obvious.
Maybe the newspaper is read by 2 expectant stoners?
But it's funny
It's funny, I like it as it is.
Probably me overhtinking, I get the word play but keep thinking Why \ How he would have flooded London, that to me doesn't make sense.

Yeah, I wondered the same thing. How about replacing "floods" with "hits" and seeing what you can do with that?

Um... hello? This is a Comedy site - C-O-M-E-D-Y.
Just off to watch:
'The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension' (1984)
It features Buckaroo Banzai , a physicist, neurosurgeon, Samurai, rock musician, Jet Car driver and comic book hero, who saves the world by defeating a band of inter-dimensional aliens called Red Lectroids from Planet 10
Back soon. You know it makes sense.

Love that film and it all makes sense within the context of the film.
The above sketch just left me with too much 'huh?' factor, so didn't work for me, that is my opinion.
Yeah this one didn't do anything for me either. Just seemed too obvious.

This isn't 'nam. There are rules in comedy.

Interesting.
He was saying it in a different way, as some people didn't seem to understand the first one!
Let's not get bitchy, everyone.

Three:
1) No puns. 2) No puns. 3) No puns. (John Cleese)
A mate of mine sent ten different puns to a production company hoping that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
Shoot me.
