Your favourite thing you've written

Do you have a favourite thing you've written?
Be it a joke, a sketch, cartoon, Sitcom or whatever.

Yes.
My third screenplay.
Just need to find a few like minded people to agree with me now.

Oh, and there was a commercial I wrote for Caffrey's.
Didn't win awards like some of the others - but it was my fave.

I have a single joke in my stand up set, and it's just to flash up the image I use as my avatar for a fraction of a second before moving onto the next slide without explanation. It's a cheap gag but it's never once let me down.

This.

Not sure I have a favourite, as it tends to be whatever I've just started to work on. Actually, there was one idea I had during work on The IT Crowd that I really found funny, but no one else seemed to. But I'll probably use it myself at some point so I won't say. Worth me bringing that up, wasn't it.

A good few years ago I sold an advertising 'sketch' to Bass breweries.

It was aimed at the upcoming world cup and a new football law that had come into force. The two things sychronized perfectly.

Then, the brewery got into trouble with the monopolies board (don't know the reasons) and everything was stopped.

I still got paid - but this idea was meant to run and run with a great slogan.

I would write it here but I recently read that the BASS brewery might appear again.

You can still buy it in America.

What was that book you wrote on obsene relations with marmosets?

And you're proud of that?

What my relations get up to and what pets they have is their own business!

I take it that's your 'beer can' moment? :)

Or which Star Trek actor loves coprophilia with the ladies?
