Wrong or Right?

Could be a running sketch through a sketch show? or is it too wrong?

Shot of tennis courts.
Pans in to Tennis court where a doubles game is playing.
A ball goes flying past, the doubles team on the other side have won a point.

Shot of a man with his hands in the air in disbelief.

Stephen Hawking is holding a Tennis Racket.

Stephen's doubles partner shouts

''IM NOT DOING ALL THE WORK STEVE!''...

Loved it! :) :) :)

:D I like it.

It is bad, but I thought it gets a reaction. It could be used in many situations?

In considering whether a taste barrier has been crossed here, you might look at how the sketch would play if, rather than Stephen Hawking, it was just "a quadroplegic".

Or a Flidamite?

Ah Scottie you do make me smile. Yes his confinement to a wheelchair could be used for so many comedic possibilities couldn't it?

How about if in a singles match he gets the upper hand instead? Stationery in his chair but he has extendable arms that reach every part of the court. So while his opponent is out of breath SH is relaxed, never misses a ball and can carry on surfing the net at the same time?

Anyway, differences in taste aside you are funny, so keep 'em coming!

It works for me. :)

Hi sexy Jane.

I know what you mean, it has som many different possibiliies, but that doesn't make it right as somebody doesn't have the ability to do everyday mundane tasks.

You reckon I knocked that one out of the park?...ahem tennis park...ah thankyou ;)

Not bad but I'm sure I've seen something very similar before. Family guy maybe?

Probably has been, the writers on that show DO NOT GIVE A SHIT!...Family guy is great.

I don't mind off colour humour but this does seem a little to simple.

Soot, earlier you were talking of a rape incident on sesame street?

And if you read the comment you'll find I have no issue for offensive material.

Merely that the humour was a slightly simplistic laugh and point joke, that didn't seem all that funny.

Do keep up.

I was thinking of writing a sketch where Professor Hawking has difficulty eating an icecream. That could be hilarious.
