Radio reject sketch, Why, do you think?

Bricklayer 1....Cor look at that, she's a cracker.

Bricklayer 2....You'd give that one would you.

Bricklayer 1.....Coooooeeeeee.

Bricklayer2.....She didn't hear you, or she's giving you a blank.

Bricklayer 1.....COOOOOOOOEEEEEE

Bricklayer 2....She must have heard that.

Bricklayer 1....OI, CLOTH EARS, COOEE.

Is the reveal it's an actual dog?

Griff, you remind me of Oscar Wilde.
James, I don't understand the sentence.

Are they looking at a actual dog is that the joke?

Jerf, I'm moving this to critique.

I'm afraid I can't see an actual joke in there either. What was it supposed to be?

It' the type of situation done often on sketch shows. Highlighting the disrespect some young men show to some young women by calling the ugly ones dogs, and I have heard the term 'growler'
The'Fastshow' have done them many times.

Which show was it rejected from Jerf? Maybe it just didn't fit their style.

I think this one would come across much better if performed - rather than read as a script. Trying to imagine that, I reckon it'd get a laugh from me.

It just needs a little tuning, Jerf. How about...

Dog 1....Woof woof woof woof (DUBBED: "Cor look at that, she's a cracker.")

Dog 2....Woof woof (DUBBED: "You'd give that one would you?")

Dog 1.....Aoooooooooo (DUBBED: "Coooooeeeeee.").

Dog 2.....Woof (DUBBED: "She didn't hear you, or she's giving you a blank.")

Dog 1.....Aoooooooooo! (DUBBED: "Coooooeeeeee!")

Dog 2....Woof woof (DUBBED: "She must have heard that.")

Dog 1....Woof woof aoooo (DUBBED: "Oi, cloth ears, Cooee.")

Dog 2....Woof woof (DUBBED: "Cor, look at her mate.")

Both Dogs in song....Woof woof woof woof woof "belch" "swear" (DUBBED IN SONG: "Who let the bricklayers out, woof, woof.")

But how does that work on the radio?

Fair point, RJ - although broadcasting considerations may be premature.
;)

Maybe V/O?

"First rule of comedy, Spike - it must be funny"

Remember how the Brazillian priest was overdubbed in Father Ted? I think that would work perfectly well on radio.

Yes and yes. :)

But I don't want anyone thinking this means I'm not stupid.
