1960s recording studio.
A bald musician walks up to John Lennon.
Bald man: Hey, John. Can I join The Beatles?
John: No chance.
Bald man: Why not?
John: Because we're a fringe group.
Ringo Starr: (who we only now realise is present, on drums) Badumbum Tish!
All 3 men look directly to camera, wink and smile.
Not bad.

Thanks, Leevil. It's my first ever joke! I thought I'd start with puns, and hopefully work my way up!
Well if that's true, you're off to a good start. Keep 'em coming.
Nice joke-ette, especially if that's your first pop @ it. =]
Love the ringo badoom-tish bit.
But the rest was just a bit of a groaner. >_<
Is everyone being nice because she's called "sexy girl?"
*** EDIT ****
Ahhhhhh. Now I see. It's Miss Rushmore.

Hi Mikey
I know it was a bit of a groaner. Thats why I added the self knowing wink and smile to camera. Its a poor joke but john, the bald man and ringo akcnowledge that.

have you not got anything better to do than follow a 17 year old girl around a web site, Mr Griff.

I don't!
I quite liked that.
As a long time Beatles fan, I had to read this one!
I liked it. Good gag. Good sketch.
Btw I am not fooled by the "Sexy Girl/17 years" old business. You're clearly the bald guy in the sketch!

But there ya go!

I'm not a fan of the Beatles or John Lennon in particular but I thought the play on the word 'fringe' quite clever.

Maybe Frankie Rage changed his mind when he realised that a 'Sexy Girl' may not have written it! 
This would fit into any of the first two Beatles films.
Anything that has Ringo looking to camera and winking will have my heart all a-flutter. The man has charm in a can.
Nice to see Frankie R back in Crit too.

Agreed. My negative response was to some guy who has since deleted his post (so I have deleted mine). He wrote a sketch that was a bit crass in my opinion. Anyway, he didn't have to delete it, but OK. Basically, he reckoned the bald guy in Sexy Girl's sketch was in fact Mark Chapman... and Ringo and Paul were winking about it after he shot Lennon. Oh well, I can't help it 'bout the shape I'm in.. etc.
