Ideas for 'The Impressions Show'

Too much time on my hands, clearly.

Heya, Guys! I've come up with some sketch ideas for 'The Impressions Show with Culshaw and Woman'. Tell me which ones you love the most and why you absolutely love them!!

BRITNEY 'SPEARS'

Britney (quite literally) spears people... with a spear! We follow her as she spears Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake (who has JUST got IN-to a LAKE - a LAKE made of TIMBER!! So he's JUST-IN a TIMBER-LAKE) to death!!!! Hilarity prevails!

Number of sketches: 6. In each sketch, Britney spears a new person. Otherwise, same sketch.

KATE AND PRINCE WILL.I.AM

Kate Middleton is married to Prince William - only it isn't really Prince William!!! It's a genetically-engineered hybrid of music sensations 'Prince' and 'Will.I.Am'!!! Hilarity prevails as Prince Will.I.Am asks Kate M where his glove is by singing 'Where is the GLOVE?' and then he says/does something Prince would do (I'm too young to know anything about Prince).

Number of sketches: 6. In each sketch, Kate Middleton and Prince Will.I.Am are in a different location. Otherwise, same sketch.

JORDAN

Katie Price (aka Katie Price) is (quite literally!!!!!) the country Jordan!! Hilarity prevails as Katie Price has to deal with the pressures of being a single Mum looking after three kids while six million Jordanians are living on her.

Number of sketches: 6. In each sketch, Jordan wears a different costume. Otherwise, same sketch. Peter Andre's in one of them.

DAVID MACAROON

Political satire as David Cameron is (quite literally) David Macaroon - an inanimate almondy biscuit that does nothing. Hilarity prevails as Dave M struggles with being Prime Minister because he has no arms, legs, brain, mouth, philtrum, endocrine system or consciousness. All he does is sit at the bottom of a biscuit tin, slowly getting softer (advantage: these sketches will be very cheap to film).

Number of sketches: 6. In each sketch, there are more or less Jaffa cakes in the tin with David. Otherwise, same sketch.

"NO! A.M, CHOMSKY!"

A more intellecteal sketch for our increasingly intellecteal audience - Every morning, noted linguistics professor, Noam Chomsky, phones dead post-structuralist, Jacques Derrida, with the same question, 'Is it the afternoon? Is it Post-Meridium?' Pay-off: At the end of every sketch, J. Derrida hilariously responds, 'No! A.M, Chomsky!' Oh, that Noam Chomsky should know better (he doesn't though)!!

Number of sketches: 6. In each sketch, Chomsky is wearing different coloured socks. Otherwise, same sketch.

GEORGE W. BUSH

George Bush is an idiot!!!! Hilarity prevails!

Number of sketches: 6. In each sketch, George Bush is an idiot and hilarity prevails!

There we go! Remember, you can only choose 4 sketches as your favourite!!!!

Fankyou for reading!!!

NO-ONE STEAL MY IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did these fellas escape the Worst Idea for a Sitcom thread?

Amusing and all.

How about?

Justin Timberlake

A music producer keeps mistaking popular singer/dancer for dipping his toe in a large body of water in which some trees are floating.

N Scrubbs

Worlds least talented pop combo in worlds most mawkish medical comedy.

in the M Night Shymalin Garden

In the Night Garden but featuring an annoyingly predictable twist. This week Maka Paka swops his soap...for shower gel!, betcha didn't see that coming.

But The Impressions Show doesn't do stuff like that - it does straight impressions.

Prince Will.I.Am is funny though.

I like them all.

Very funny. :)

All the ideas apart from Will.I.Am and N Scrubs are stupid though.

Like bad Viz comic strips.

MY favourites are Jordan (Obviously) Chomsky, Bush and Britney. I think Britney best if there is also a phone based voting set up like on Dancing on Ice.

I like them all.

For God's sake, Badge!!!!! I said you can have 4 favourites!! You can't like them all!!! Jesus Christ!!!

Methinks a certain LL (who shall remain nameless) might be a tad jealous of someone's sketch ideas!!!

Yes I am, but not yours. You have taken some painfully obvious puns on famous people's names and put minimal effort into making a 'sketch' out of them.

How about these gems:

Look! It's 'Bruce Forsooth' - he presents Strictly but only speaks in 'Olde English" - Gadzooks! Repeat six times.

And there's 'Frank Skinner', who skins min the middle of his talk show. Repeat six times.

oohh... there's 'Jamie Oliver', who cooks whilst doing musical numbers from the film (wait for it) Oliver! Repeat six times.

Lazy, lazy ideas with zero commerical prospect. If I can do it, anyone can.

I like the Oliver! one but I think it should always be the 'Food Glorious Food' number - but with different ingredients in the six times.

Is this some type of satire of the show, Yacob? I'm not familiar enough with the show to get it if so.

I line the Oliver! one but I think it should always be the 'Food Glorious Food' number - but with different ingredients in the six times.

It scares me that he might be serious.

I was being serious. That one seemed to fit in nicely with Yacob's vision.

It fits in with his stuff because it's lazy and ultimately shite.

Well I guess comedy is subjective, Mister Wingnut's post made me genuinely laugh. I guess, again, it is all in the reading. :)
