WOMEN

POLICE1

POLICE1

Nope he's black.

POLICE1 PINCHES POLICE 2'S BUM

POLICE2

Later, cheeky.

Funny! :D

The idea sounded familiar but yeah, funny :)

I endorse this sketch and/or sitcom.

This one came to me in a dream, I literally woke up and typed up.

Did you fall asleep just after watching Comedy Lab?

Two coppers bringing bad news is a very noble old comedic trope.

And no I watched it after.

I'm writing a sketch with a pirate in it, he has a parrot. Should I remove if for fear of being accused of plagarising Python?

That's an especially mean spirited accusation.

Just make sure he has a Python too. Mock your accusers with your snake!

Not sure zooo is making an accusation. I have had ideas for sketches before now by watching a gag and then looking for a different angle on it.

I was only joking!

They're nothing alike except for featuring two cops.

I should have added a smiley, evidently.

I'd rather not appear in the sex offenders register, albeit I did always want to meet Glitter.

Have modified my response.

I am considering doing a skit on 2 cops whp bring good news.

I hate smileys.

Except then one in Watchmen.
