Dog Rape

This is one I did a while ago and I can't quite make it right. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

EXT. STREET - DAY

A news reporter is slowly walking down the street.

REPORTER
New laws introduced by the government this week mean that the frivolous sex lives of man's best friend, the dog, will finally come to an end.

Cut to. Some statistics over an image of two dogs humping.

REPORTER V/O
These laws make sex without consent a criminal offence for dogs much the same as it is for humans. Also, acts such as leg humping are now considered to be sexual harassment.

Cut back to the street. The reporter is stood with a woman.

REPORTER V/O
We hit the streets to find out what you think of these new laws.

WOMAN
Well I think its about bloody time! Those dirty dogs were going around humping everything without a care in the world! Hopefully this will let them know we aren't going to put up with it any more!

We hear female screams from across the road.

REPORTER
What's going on over there?

WOMAN
Oh my god!

The camera shakily swings round and focuses in on a woman with a jack russell humping her leg. She is very distraught and her clothes are dirty and tattered.

RAPE WOMAN
FIRE!!! FIRE!!!!

A policeman comes charging over and stops a short distance from the woman. He aims his tazer at the dog.

POLICEMAN
Down boy!

The policeman fires his tazer and we hear tazing noises and dog whines.

NEW VERSION

INT. NEWS STUDIO - DAY

A reporter is sat behind a desk.

REPORTER
Our main story tonight. Amateur footage of the arrest of one of Britain's most notorious rapists has been released by police today. The footage shows the criminal taking one final stand before being subdued by officers. This video contains scenes which some may find disturbing.

Cut to. Shaky mobile phone footage. A gang of lads walking down the street messing about. We hear female screams from across the road.

LAD1
What's going on over there?

LAD2
Oh my god!

The camera shakily swings round and focuses in on a woman with a jack russell humping her leg. She is very distraught and her clothes are dirty and tattered.

RAPE WOMAN
FIRE!!! FIRE!!!!

A policeman comes charging over and stops a short distance from the woman. He aims his tazer at the dog.

POLICEMAN
Down boy!

The policeman fires his tazer and we hear tazing noises and dog whines.

Cut to. Studio.

REPORTER
Spanky is expected to be sentenced later this month.

I think the intro is good and sets things up well, but from this point onwards...

REPORTER V/O
We hit the streets to find out what you think of these new laws.

...I thought - not much, actually. Just that not much happened to get me excited. I think you have a good beginning but the meat of the sketch isn't there yet. Can you do something with the fact that the dog is "obviously a rapist" cos it's naked, for example?

It's kind of a dodgy subject to satirise, I think. I agree with Badge though -- there's not much to work with, so maybe it's more of a one-liner rather than a full-on sketch.

It may work better if you do the report as though the police are still chasing a serial leg fetishist, etc, etc and then reveal it to be a dog at the very end.

I like that idea! Although its the image of the dog getting hit with the tazer which I like so I would need to try and work that into it.

Cheers for the comments guys.

I was really getting into this when it ended. I like the idea and it's great the way you have the woman shouting 'fire, fire!'. Also the policeman tazering the dog is very funny.

Perhaps introduce a dog line-up/identity parade at a police station somehow?

This is a sitcom basically.

Thanks for the comments :)

I've uploaded a newer version that is a bit cleaner I think so if you would take a look at that version and let me know what you think I would be very grateful.

Cheers

Better. How about a 'No means woof!' line from the policeman?

Dan

The first version is better. There's no explanation of the change in the rape laws so the second version doesn't really make sense as it stands.

I still really love this idea.

... pr0n crap....

Well I for one have learnt a very important lesson here. Rolling eyes

(Do we really want these sort of links posted on this site? Seriously.)

Are you suggesting I research the subject?

Cheers Godot by the way. I've been excrutiatingly busy these last few weeks so I forgot to come and check.

Did you catch the picture Tim?
