Kebabulous

1. INT. KEBABULOUS KEBAB SHOP. NIGHT.

A BLOKE AND HIS GIRLFRIEND COME INTO THE SHOP. THEY'RE BOTH A BIT MERRY FROM A NIGHT OUT. STELIOS THE OWNER, FAT, MOUSTACHED, SEEDY-LOOKING, GREETS THEM WITH A WIDE GRIN. TOO WIDE.

STELIOS:
Yes please, what can I get you?

BLOKE:
Donner kebab please mate.

STELIOS NODS AND WALKS OFF TOWARDS THE ROTATING KEBAB MEAT, STILL GRINNING.

GIRL:
Eurgh, you're not having one of those are you? God knows what's in that meat.

THE BLOKE DRUNKENLY DISMISSES HIS GIRLFRIEND WITH A WAVE OF HIS HAND AND BEGINS READING "NUTS" MAG ON THE COUNTER.

THE GIRL WATCHES STELIOS IN DISGUST AS HE RAISES THE CIRCULAR CUTTING SAW AND STARTS SHAVING THE HORRIBLE SWEATY MEAT OFF. AS THE MEAT ROTATES, SOMETHING COMES INTO VIEW. IT'S A FACE. A HORRIBLE, HUMAN FACE IN KEBAB FORM, STICKING OUT OF THE ROTATING MEAT, PLEADING EYES WIDE IN TERROR. IT FIXES HER WITH A STARE.

MEAT FACE:
(HOARSE, HISSING) Please...help...me!

THE GIRL SCREAMS AND POINTS AT THE FACE AS IT ROTATES OUT OF VIEW. HER BOYFRIEND LOOKS UP FROM HIS MAG.

BLOKE:
What?

GIRL:
The meat...the kebab meat...

BLOKE:
Yeah alright love, you can have some as well. Bloody Hell, you've changed your tune...

HE GOES BACK TO DRUNKENLY READING HIS MAG AS THE FACE ROTATES INTO VIEW AGAIN.

MEAT FACE:
For pity's sake, the pain...

THE GIRL CLAMPS HER HAND OVER HER MOUTH AND BACKS AWAY IN HORROR. SHE STUMBLES OUT INTO THE STREET AND VOMITS INTO AN ALLEY. HER BOYFRIEND COMES OUT WITH THE KEBAB.

BLOKE:
Y'alright love, you wanna bit?

HE OFFERS HER SOME KEBAB

GIRL:
No!

BLOKE:
Fair enough. Pickle?

HE OFFERS A PICKLE FROM THE PACKET, ONLY IT'S NOT A PICKLE, IT'S A COCK.

END SKETCH

Very nice in an utterly horrrible way.

Mmmm, I hoped for a better ending, all too predictable :(

You predicted he would offer her a cock instead of a pickle? Incredible. Rolling eyes

You obviously have a very nice kebab shop!

I always wonder how people can put that filth in their mouths, it's as if they're blind to its horrors. This sketch is basically about that.

That's what I was wondering - whether or not it's too horrible to be funny. Maybe if the meat face wasn't in agony and was quite chipper about the whole thing. As in he winks at the girl and says "Alright?" instead of "please help me"

No I predicted it would be a body part of some form, eye, nose, big toe... I think it was the fact I imagined it to be on those lines, the fact that it's a cock and not a big toe is irrelevant, the element of shock was over before it began.

At which point did you predict it was going to be a body part? Was it at the point where he says "Pickle?", because that's pretty much the punchline isn't it? He says "Pickle?" as he produces the cock from the packet. How has the element of shock diminished? It's right at the end of the sketch.

I suppose I could have the guy say "Pickle?" and then he produces a Quattro power drill but that would be just silly.

I'm not being defensive, I just don't get what you're driving at.

This is the exact moment i thought it.

BLOKE:

You really thought at that very point that the guy was going to pull a nose or body part out of the bag? Why? What part of the sketch led you to that deduction?
I'm genuinely interested to know because if the audience has already guessed by that point then the sketch isn't working.

I dunno mate, I guess it was just the obvious way to go (so I thought) and I hoped it wasn't, left dissapointed as the build was good as it took me there, but...

Sorry :(

Fair enough - my worry was that you were predicting the actual ending but if you're just saying it's an obvious "out" then fair enough.

I dunno - the ending has to be gross and a bit silly because of the rest of the sketch. I think it'd get a big "Oh no!" laugh even it is a bit horrible and maybe not as subversive or clever as it could be.

But then I'm not really subversive or particularly clever, so...
;)

Maybe don't use a human face n' body part... use a lamb Eh?

And a lamb's penis is gonna be evn more revolting Sick

Unless you in the jungle!

Another very funny sketch, I love the unexpected horror! I thought it lost it a tiny bit after the face's first appearance but then picked up great with the Pickle Cock!

Also! I must say I resent you turning me into a brown nosing sycophant. Write something rubbish please. A good day to you Sir!

Mr Pie

P.S. I don't really know what the word Sycophant means, if it doesn't mean what I think it means then great!! You've exposed me as an idiot too!! Happy?!
