Rubbish puns.

2 BIN MEN ARE STANDING INFRONT OF A COLLECTION OF BIN BAGS.

BINMAN1
Crikey how are we going to separate this waste? So it can be recycled in line. With the Guardian's exiting and ground breaking 10by10 carbon campaign?

BINMAN2
Why did Sheryl dump you?

BINMAN1
I dunno I thought she loved me...(starts to cry)

BINBAG1
You smell, get paid crap and work stupid hours.

BINMAN1
How cold, how mean...

BINMAN2
How clinical, that's the clinical waste.

BINGBAG2
That 10by10 business is just a desperate scheme. By the countries worst spelled leftist rag to ride the diseased nag that is climate change.

BINMAN2
That's cynical waste!

BINBAG3
You said it big guy! Let's party!

BINMAN2
And that's inimical waste, it's incorrigible!

BINMAN1 SLINGS ALL OF THE BAGS IN THE BIN LORRY AT ONCE.

BINMAN2
You muppet! After we carefully sorted it why did you do that?

BINMAN1
Well they are all rubbish puns.

Sooty I think there comes a time in every writers life when he just needs to go off and have a rest. Do u know what I mean?

I think this must be referencing a news story I missed, but I guess the NR crowd are mainly guardian readers.

It is not really a well thought through idea though.

"Crikey"? Is this bloke being played by Boris Johnson? The characterisation in this sketch didn't work at all for me. (And why the bizarre sentence structure?)

I can see what you're trying to do, but the structure feels way too contrived. The link with the 10:10 campaign is also tenuous at best; you don't need to mention a specific campaign at all. There's a good gag here, I think, but it needs more refining.

Um.....don't know what to say really. I didn't enjoy this.

Yeh bit shameful this I sort of wrote it before heading off to work, it's basically 3 bad puns in a worse setting.

I thought the sheer oddness would carry it. It didn't.

I apologise.
