Short sketch

Short sketch. 1st draft. Feedback appreciated.

__________________________________________

Rob walks into a bank and shouts

"This is a hold up"

A man raises his hand before speaking.

"I'm a lecturer in the English language and I think you'll find that is in fact a holdall"

The whole room laughs. Rob shoots him.

"Any other lecturers of the English language?"

Everyone in the room raises their hand. Rob scans the room, bewildered.

"This is a bank?" Rob says hopeful.

They all shake their heads

"It's a University isn't it?"

They all nod.

Voice-over "Get the all new "LOL-and-LOL" sat nav. Because the roads really are hilarious"

Message appears on screen : "Proper paper map included"

I thought this was funny, and I could really see it working.
But I didn't really get the ending, well I think I did but I don't feel it quite does the sketch justice.

Hi Steve. Thanks for your feedback.

I think your right - it definitely needs a better ending. I'll be back with an edited version soon.

Keep it as a Bank and...
