God's Mum

GODS MUM:
You've been very quiet God, are you ok up here?

GOD:
I'm fine Mum Just go away.

GODS MUM:
You haven't been creating again have you.

GOD:
Look I've told you I don't do that sort of thing. For crying out loud Mum can't I have any privacy.

GODS MUM:
Look Son you're getting to that age now where you might be getting a bit curious about your powers so we understand if you want to play around a bit.
But if you keep creating like this then it'll turn you omnipresent.

GOD:
How many times do I have to say this Mum, I do not touch my powers.

GODS MUM:
So what's that planet doing there? Just another one of your mysterious ways I'll bet.

GOD:
I dunno It's probably Ralphs.

GODS MUM:
Don't start blaming your brother, I can always tell when you're lying.

GOD:
Honestly Mum I'm not lying? Do you think I just made a planet for fun so that I can create a load of beings in my image and mess around with them for a few thousand years?

GODS MUM:
So why did you just create light?

GOD:
I Didn't!

GODS MUM:
Well It was pretty dark a minute ago, and now it's not! That's all I'm saying.

GOD:
Ok so I created a bit of light, and maybe a little planet. There's nothing wrong with that is there?

GODS MUM:
This'll only end in tears you know that. You'll only get bored & leave them to their own devices.

GOD:
No I won't! I promise.

GODS MUM:
Yes you will! I know you. You'll get all vengeful & then you'll get bored.

GOD:
No Seriously I'll look after them.. please let me keep them Mum.

GODS MUM:
(SIGH) I wish you were more like Ralph, the only thing I ever catch him doing is Wanking.

I liked it. Find a way to do the punchline without saying "wank" and it would fit nicely on a Radio 4 sketch show.

Likewise. Very funny.

This is my favourite part!

I like it as well. But agree with Chip, the actual use of the word "wank" seems to cheapen it a little.

Maybe she asks him to tidy his room and he says he's resting?

If the 'w' word is too strong, how about " . . . scattering his seed on stony ground" ?

Perhaps do a line about catching Ralph with "those magazines"?

'Angels with Dirty Places'?

I like this. It's a very original idea. I agree the punch doesn't quite work, although I can't think of a better one.

There's scope for a porn in heaven sketch, but it wouldn't fit with this one.

How about this sort of punchline?

GOD'S MUM:
I'm sorry son, spare the rod, spoil the child. Wait until you get your own children. Give them an inch and they'll crucify you.

Good stuff, but I agree with the others about the crass punch. "Veronica's" first suggestion was good I thought.

Cheers All.

I wasn't that comfortable with the ending either.
It was for the skitcomp so I didn't have as much time as I would have wanted.

I will have a rethink, so cheers for the suggestions.

Another very good sketch from Mr. Sunshine. I havent read all the skit comp sketches yet but this 1 is 1 of the favourites for me so far.
