Nazi Sketch

INTERIOR OF HITLER'S OFFICE. HITLER'S SAT BEHIND HIS DESK AND A NAZI IS TALKING TO HIM IN FRONT.

H: "I want to know every last detail. This will be the purest specimen there is. A true German."

N: Salutes.

FADE TO BLACK. SHOT OF THE NAZI RE-ENTERING THE ROOM.

N: Salutes. "Mein Fuhrer, I can inform you that we have successfully identified the purest German."

H: Reacts approvingly.

CAMERA PANS DOWN TO NAZI'S LEGS SHOWING A GERMAN SHEPHERD.

N: "40 kilograms, built like a haus and clever like a desert fox. There's no question that you'd be rejected from Crufts again!"

H: I don't know, they're bigger sticklers for purity than the Na... us!

Personally I found it a bit of a stretch that they would be referring to the German Shepherd as the/a German, so the reveal isn't quite punchy enough. I loved the last line though, maybe you could apply it to a series of satirical sketches with the Nazis criticising organisations?

Fair critique, thanks!
