Chav Olympics Sketch

It's a bit rough at present:

REPORTER:
Today's been another good day for the British team, with a gold in the rapid-fire pistol shooting event. And I have with me a member of that team, Wayne. It's an extraordinary story, you weren't even expected to compete were you?

WAYNE:
Nah, we was just ‘ere to watch, innit. But this place was full of Triads. So me an' the boys took ‘em on.

REPORTER:
That's quite a medal you've got there. Would you mind showing it to the viewers at home? Hold on – where's the medal?

WAYNE:
What, that bit of c**p? I ain't wearing none of that, my boy Chris said it ain't even real gold. This bling here is from the East London Massiv'.

REPORTER:
So, what's next for you and the "boys?" Are you going back home?

WAYNE:
Damn straight! With these cheap DVDs we're gonna make propa cash!

lol @ triads.

That was wicked, NOT in the chav sense.

Yawn, predictable, been done a billion times.

Sorry my first critique is rather a harsh one, but they're done a lot!

I've got one entered in this weeks sketch competition and I hate myself for submitting it but I wrote it a long time ago just when these types of sketches were still popular.

I do agree with that to some extent, though the Triad and medal gags I wanted to try out I felt fit specifically for China Olympics. I felt a somewhat new version of an old joke might work.
The way it fits together isn't right though, and does use terrible stereotypes.

Even if it's as old as time, if the genre's so unpopular now, why not expect the same response to that, even if it's beautifully conceived and delivered?
