Wossy in Trouble Again!

Why would they be enraged by a stutter? I get the reference, but not the joke. Stop aiming above my head, Roodeye.
It's a race thing.

I get that, I get the joke. But I don't understand the context, unless I'm missing something? Otherwise it's a rather elaborate way to use the word 'Coon'. Is J.R racist, did I miss something?

Problem is JR doesn't have a stutter, and I don't believe many people think he has, so the gag doesn't work. I fear Roodeye is taking the p-p-piss, though anyone who likes this quickie will no doubt be praised for their taste (dons dark glasses).

I've been expecting you, Mr Badge.
Please collect a pitchfork and a blazing torch from the props department and join your friends in the march upon my castle.

Why you've been expecting me I can only speculate. Idly, as usual. The critique is there for you to take or leave, but I apologise for saying you were taking the piss.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another edition of Film 2009. Before we begin, I'd like to reassure the 25,000 enraged viewers who phoned the BBC during last week's show that when I mentioned the title of a 1985 movie in which a group of people in an old folks' home suddenly become rejuvenated after bathing in the magical waters of a nearby swiiming pool, I was not stuttering.
Cocoon Klux Klan? 
Badge is right, this doesn't work. Ross doesn't have a stutter, his impediment is that he can't pronounce his Rs. And even if he did have a stutter, wouldn't it be funnier at the end for him to say that he was stuttering?

Badge is wrong: it does work.
It works perfectly if you understand the joke.
No offence intended to you or Badge.
I don't understand 'Black Books', for example: it's shite.
I don't understand it, but I won't be losing sleep.

Perhaps you'd care to explain the joke? I mean that's the best way isn't it?

Why did you post this in Critique if you know it works? Not that you're not allowed to or anything. I merely wonder.

For the same reasons most other people post in critique, I expect - to obtain people's views re potential for improvement and thereafter to reflect upon those views.
Fair enough.
